Outlook4Gmail is an Outlook add-in that helps users perform Google calendars sync with Outlook, as well as contacts and tasks sync. It also syncs Google calendars from multiple Google accounts with Outlook ones. The settings provide opportunities of duplicates check, their elimination and automatic data backup.
We looked at Conga's Grid product as well. We chose this one because someone from our team had used it previously. Which gave us a little more confidence in being able to implement and manage the product easily.
I was not part of the original purchasing team that made the choice to use GridBuddy. Based on what we've done, I am pleased to continue using GridBuddy above any similar competitor.
Monday.com is a fantastic tool for working with a team. I find that Outlook4Gmail has the similar effect, in that it helps organize the very core of what I do. It is like having a working car; without one, it is very difficult to get things done. Having a tool that makes all …
I like Outlook way better than slack. In slack I can never find where conversations start and end. A lot harder to search for old conversations. I dont like the fact that multiple people can see what conversations are going on. Difficult to navigate and not user friendly. …
I believe Outlook4Gmail stacks up against AppNeta having a better graphic and simplicity. I have selected Outlook4Gmail because is more known and probably easier to find answers to questions when they may come.
GridBuddy is a very good tool for allowing users to work with multiple records simultaneously and saves a great deal of time for staff who have to view and edit multiple similar records. We have used it very happily for a number of years at our nonprofit organization. I would rate it more highly than 7 except for the fact that GridBuddy was acquired by a larger software company and the pricing has been raised significantly. It used to be a very affordable solution for small and mid-sized nonprofit organizations but it is now much harder for organizations in this market to afford the product.
I folder all emails of certain subject. Outlook makes this an easy process. It allows for dragging messages to the proper place. Searching becomes very easy and locating what we need happens quickly. I would love to have more scheduled emailing capabilities. If the program has this feature, I am having trouble finding it.
Layered Reporting: The ability to bring in data from 3 objects, unlike Salesforce reports.
Mass Edit: In comparison to inline editing, it allows the ability to create multiple views, personalized layouts, and again seeing, more than one object at a time.
Workspaces: Ability to create a space with all the important grids a user needs.
We have used GridBuddy with both Salesforce and SAP C4C. We didn't have any problems when it was synced to Salesforce, but when synced to SAP C4C we have had a few problems, which makes me think the integration with it isn't as mature. See subsequent points with details.
When synced with SAP C4C, we are unable to use multi-level sorting on custom fields. Multi-level sorting is apparently only functional on standard C4C fields.
Our current instance of GridBuddy synced with C4C has been stuck in a metadata refresh for four weeks, so we can't use new C4C fields until this is resolved.
Support has been slow and not too impressive at least since using GridBuddy with C4C. It took a couple of months to finally diagnose the issue with multi-level sorting with different employees giving us different answers and eventually they told us the sorting wasn't working with C4C custom fields. It has been over three weeks since we reported that our metadata refresh was stuck and other than an acknowledgment that our issue had been forwarded to the product team, I have had no updates.
- Easy of use - Visual nature of using the product (as compared to Dataloader) - Quickness of making changes/updates/edits to long lists of records, live and real-time
- Ease of use - Real-time and visible nature of making mass changes - Ease of setting up a Grid - Ease of filtering the Grid to see the records that I need to change
Easy to use for a email and calander. If offers a wide variety of ways to use and store data. Easy to search for old emails that may have gotten lost for quick reference. Like being able to see all of our offices emails in one spot. It is a great product

GridBuddy has allowed us to make more outbound calls and handle more concurrent tasks that using Salesforce alone would have allowed. Considering the costs of Salesforce, the small additional expense is well justified under the correct circumstances. We were very disappointed with the vanilla Salesforce UI. GridBuddy means that we actually engage with salesforce now.
