Mustafa H
Practice Manager
4.0

Mustafa: Hi, I'm Mustafa. I'm a practice manager and I would give four out of five to Microsoft Edge. For further reviews like this, click below. I use Microsoft Edge to browse the internet, mainly use it for opening my email account, my calendar. I also use it for browsing and searching things on Google and obviously, opening a lot of websites. I do also heavily use it for other cloud platforms like SharePoint, OneDrive, and that enables me to collaborate with my colleagues through that cloud platform. So the cool thing about Microsoft Edge is it has good integration with other Microsoft products and that enables seamless use across their entire suite of products like Windows, Office 365, SharePoint, OneDrive it's really easy. They also have a cool feature called Collections that allows you to really put all the tabs that are related together in collections. It also has a good user interface where you are able to see the recently used tools and websites in a neatly packed bar right at the bottom, that enables you to quickly check into those apps and websites whenever you want to revisit them after you open the browser again. So a couple of things that Microsoft Edge could improve is, one, is the browser is on the slower side as compared to other browsers. And thus, I do use other browsers as well when I need speed of execution. The other thing that I would like to see Microsoft Edge improve is just the usage of system power and RAM. I do tend to find the browser heavier as compared to other browsers and that takes a lot of memory when I'm using my Microsoft Edge, I do need to avoid it at time. So these are the couple of things that I would like to improve on the platform.
