All-In-One Program and fast working. Good structured. Not too much modern and big stuff - that's good (Programmed in Delphi as I do) > > **Cons**: Google Sync - had a big lost of Data (in Version 9.x i think) Afraid of doing it again to sync data. Maybe resolved now. > > Up and downs - overall I like it anyway. It is good but backup your data\! ----- ### "A great and reliable personal management tool" — 4.0/5 > **Heiko** | *4 May 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - excellent and stable applications for Windows and Android (iOS version not used so far) - easy-to-use and reliable synchronization via WLAN - my data belongs to me, no cloud constraint - regular software updates - very user-friendly price policy (I have purchased several lifetime licenses and I think the price is absolutely fair) - dark mode support > > **Cons**: - no macOS client so far - the Windows client looks a little old-fashioned in terms of UI/UX functionality but is still absolutely useful > > I have tried many tools before using EssentialPIM and I have yet to find an application that even comes close to the core functions. Above all, I love the local synchronization of my data via WLAN with my various devices. I have been using the PRO version with multiple lifetime license for many years and have never had any major problems with the modules I use. The application also constantly saves backups, which fortunately I have only needed once so far, due to a user error. To this day, EssentialPIM is an important, constant and above all, reliable companion in my everyday life. ----- ### "Easy all-in Personal Information Manager" — 5.0/5 > **Rene** | *14 March 2023* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: No matter how small or large your business is, EssentialPIM fits like a glove around your daily business. Email, calendar, passwords, appointments, alerts, and notes: you have everything in one program.Settings are easy to do, and the program works with the user, not the other way around.Easy for a single user, or with a database in the cloud, for many users.Updates are frequent, multi-language interface. > > **Cons**: There are no minuses for this program. Just buy the PRO-version for life, and you are set for life.A small investment with very large positive impact and it will set you and your business up in no time, and as your business grows, EssentialPIM grows with you. > > When i start my working day, EssentialPIM starts on my computer. It stays open the entire workday, and i use it for everything beside my invoice program. When i shut EPIM down, it still receives all incoming email and displays them next time i open the program.It really is a digital personal assistant on which i rely very much in my daily business operations. Never let me down for a single moment. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/357992/essentialpim?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/357992/essentialpim) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
