Microsoft Outlook Pricing Overview

I have been using Microsoft 365 Business accounts, which offer a wide range of tools and options, providing significant benefits. My experience with Microsoft Outlook over the past year has been excellent, and I highly recommend it to others.

Outlook features a user-friendly interface with easy-to-use functionality. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and more. The quick email response time is a notable advantage.

The calendar view and meeting notifications are effective, offering a clear interface for managing a high volume of candidate and client emails. Features like conversation threading and focused inbox help prioritize communications efficiently. Additionally, Outlook facilitates easy proposals and rescheduling with candidates and hiring managers, ensuring smooth coordination with Word for resumes, Excel for tracking, and Teams for virtual interviews or internal meetings.

Finding specific resumes or past candidate threads can be challenging in large inboxes, as Outlook is not specifically designed for tracking candidate pipelines or application stages. It is best used in conjunction with an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) like Greenhouse, Bullhorn, or Workday. Additionally, Outlook can sometimes be slow or prone to crashing, and its numerous features can make the interface feel complex and cluttered. In my experience, the search function is not always reliable, which can hinder productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OMG. I spent 3 hrs trying to connect my Gmail account to outlook desktop.

First, outlook insisted on getting access to ALL my gmail including Google Drive where I store personal and sensitive information.

Then after digging and googling and more research I found a trick , not documented, to use SMTP server settings to make the connection. I finally got that to work. Then I checked my Calendar - not connected still to gmail. I tried connecting it, again no documentation. Finally Gemini told me how and I followed the steps, again using workarounds to find the proper settings page in Outlook. That seems to have worked. BUT, outlook calendar is not pulling / synching with gmail calendar yet. Then MSFT docs told me to login into outlook.com to finish the Cal setup. I logged in, using my msft account, but now Calendar 365 wants me to create a new outlook email. I tried the one that I had created in Outlook desktop but it would not recognize that I already own it - it complains that the account exists - yes dummy it does exist, I just created it with your sister app: outlook desktop.

So, I paid $129 subscription to get this crap. Thank You MSFT for a wasted 3 hrs. I'm canceling this and using Google docs moving forward - for free!

Everything so far. I can't send emails. It doesn't like propertly to my 365 email account. It doesn't connect to my gmail nor google calendar. It's basically a dead application sitting on my desktop. I paid a subscription for this mess and it's useless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
