Hi CRMUG Community,

Our Company is evaluating integrating Outlook with CRM. I was wondering if others had any suggestions on what App they used for the integration, what went well, what didn't go well that we should take into consideration, and if you had any recommendations.We are currently on version 9.0 online. Any feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Sydney,

Are you looking for options beyond the delivered Dynamics 365 Outlook Client?

Did you have specific issues or concerns with the delivered Outlook connector client?  Or were you looking for any specific additional functionality it does not provide?  This info might help others in the group better point you to other 3rd party options that are out there.  I personally use the delivered Outlook Client.

Hi Sydney

We use the out of the box Dynamics 365 App for Outlook for all of our clients and works well. No client install required!

Please feel free to reach out if you would like more information on this, the linked article above shows how to deploy it.

I agree that the Outlook App is the way to go.
But I say that with a caveat that you really need to upgrade to version 9.2 as that is when full functionality comes on board and an improved Mobile experience.  Stay away from the Outlook Client as it was supposed to already be deprecated and was very unstable.

Sidney - If you are running Exchange 2010 you will not be able to use the Outlook integration (there is a plug-in which we tried and it killed the machine we were testing it on). We are in that situation and are in the process of upgrading.
