Sagar R
Technical Architect
5.0

Sagar: My name is Sagar. My occupation is architect, and I would like to give five out of five review for the Outlook. And please click below for more reviews. To check my emails, to send my emails, to receive emails, to join the meetings, to join the calls, to schedule meetings, to create tasks, to create events. I like the meeting, the way we should do the meeting. It's user-friendly. If you have to schedule the meeting from Outlook, it's super, super user-friendly. You don't have to click multiple options. It's a one click show, right? And if you have to create an event, it's super easy. If you have to send an email, you don't have to go here and there, you just have to compose the email and that's it. It keeps on disconnecting. And then you have to sync your emails, right? So basically it requires really, really awesome internet. It doesn't compromise on the network bandwidth. So if your internet is average, not excellent, then the application might disconnect. That's it.
