Overall Satisfaction with Safari

I frequently use Safari to connect to my email, both personal and business, as well as to connect to our provider portal. I also use it to look up medications, side effects, and diagnoses with which I am not familiar or for which I need a refresher with respect for symptoms. Although I would not call them problems, Safari does allow me important connectivity and information. I find it intuitive and easy to use. When typing a question the first thing that appears is the AI Overview. This is quite often helpful, but if I want to dive deeper into a subject, I just scroll down to see additional entries.

Pros

  • Accessing email
  • Connecting to our company portal
  • Looking up information
  • Finding products I might want to purchase
  • Accessing YouTube for videos I might want to watch

Cons

  • Although the AI is helpful, it is not always accurate, so it is not clear if having this appear first is the best approach.
  • I do not like having "Sponsored Results" appearing at the top of search results. It would be better having this somewhere else.
  • My preference is to read about topics so having videos listed near the top of the search results is not always effective for me.
  • Accessing email is imperative as it allows me to communicate with patients, colleagues, friends, and family.
  • Accessing our provider portal is always essential because this is where my schedule is stored and where I do my billing.
  • When I need to look up a medication or its side effects quickly, Safari usually nails it on the first try.
  • Predictive text in searches also saves me time.
I find it intuitive to use. You just type and hit enter into the search box! As noted earlier, there are few areas for improvement, though. For one thing, some internet applications that I use for work do not run on Safari at all. For another, the AI Overview and "Sponsored" results are not always accurate or unbiased.
  • Google Chrome
Given that I don't like the way Google tracks its customers and uses data about them for advertising, often not even offering users the option to protect their browsing history, I prefer Apple's Safari, on which advertising is far less intrusive. Both are good for searching the internet, but there are some internet applications that do not run on Safari. For those, I have to use Google Chrome.

Do you think Safari delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Safari's feature set?

Yes

Did Safari live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Safari go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Safari again?

Yes

As noted, Safari is good for accessing email, logging in to our company portal, looking up information, searching for products, and finding videos. One area where Safari is not always up to scratch, though, is that there are a number of websites that run better on Google Chrome than Safari, or that simply do not run at all on Safari. One example is our medical record system, which runs only on Google Chrome. This is a nuisance, because it means I have to have two browser windows open, one of the eUHR and one for the portal.
