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. ----- ### "Works good - but hat bad loss with Google Sync" — 3.0/5 > **Marc** | *24 November 2023* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Calendar works good. 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\! ----- ### "Search for PIM" — 5.0/5 > **MEERAN** | *16 July 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Essential PIM Pro 12.x is a powerful personal information manager (PIM) that caters to users who value efficiency and organization. It seamlessly integrates calendar, contacts, tasks, notes, and emails, streamlining your workflow and promoting productivity. Essential PIM Pro 12.x also shines with its offline functionality and cross-device syncing capabilities, ensuring you stay on top of your commitments even without an internet connection. > > **Cons**: Occasional error message and the nagging notifications when you you are offline > > Best all-round PIM. AI integration and support for markdown would be nice to have. ----- ### "EPIM Is my go to app" — 5.0/5 > **Rick** | *14 July 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Everything in one application. Easy to use and the ability to sync with phone. Auto backups of the database. Not a day goes by where I don't use either the Windows app or the Android app. The low cost option for Lifetime support \& upgrades. The support team release several updates a year with improvements \& new features. > > **Cons**: No tables support in the Android app. I would love to have a relational database module solely because I use another app for that. ----- 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
