Boomerang for Gmail

Boomerang is the best tool out there to organize your blasted email!

Commentaires : Overall, Boomerang has been an angel for me. Without Boomerang it will be hard for me to keep up with my commitment in getting back to candidates, and letting them know what they need to do or where they need to proceed a day before their interview. I get a lot of awards and thank yous from candidates and they see our business as very responsive and professional because we never failed to update them regarding their next steps or whether or not they got the post.

Avantages :

In recruitment, you seldom get just less than 20 emails per day. If you did, well you're lucky! It is a bottleneck to get things done in recruitment if you're speaking of email commitments such as sending email blasts for next week, or sending turn down to a candidate you just interviewed after a week or sending a candidate for final interview a day before his set schedule. We resorted to using sticky notes before, but it is unsuccessful because sometimes sticky notes are not that too sticky and they fly away, and there arises complaints of being unprofessional from candidates we failed to give an update. With Boomerang, it resolved that problem because instead of pending that responsibility and jotting it down to a sticky note, you can just do it now and pend it being sent to whatever day and time you would want it to go out. With Boomerang, we have successfully met 100% compliance in sending out turn down emails, notification or reminder emails, and office-wide campaigns easily.

Inconvénients :

I like everything about Boomerang. Maybe what I least like is the price, and why I just learnt it a year ago. If only, I heard about this when I started my career in recruitment, everything should have been a walk in the park!

An office workers best friend

Commentaires : My job involves a lot of writing and a lot of emailing. Anything that helps me with that makes my entire work day go smoothly.
Anyone who uses email frequently should have boomerang.
The minor hiccups don't take anything away from it and it's still great to have.

Avantages :

The reminders are the most attractive feature and have saved me so much time. I use them often for long term follow up threads. The easy setup with Gmail was nice and I didn't have to get help learning how to run it correctly. Some other things it does are automated responses and vacation mode or pause, helps organize and clear out your inboxes, and schedules outgoing mail. Overall it's just super handy to have.

Inconvénients :

There's nothing that I was dissatisfied with, however in the spirit of being objective I will say that I had a problem when turning off vacation mode/ inbox pause and that more privacy controls would be nice.

Boomerang for Gmail is good but I won't be going back to it

Avantages :

It was easily to sync with my Gmail account, the price was affordable, notifications were not too abundant and were focused.

Inconvénients :

There were significant delays with tracking about half of the time. This caused delays in my overall process of documentation.

An immensely helpful tool!

Commentaires : My overall experience has been positive and I am very happy with this product. The quality and level of features were surprisingly high!
We have benefitted very much so and we enjoy using it.
This tool is wonderful for anyone who uses email for work, it is especially useful if you have multiple inboxes or a high volume of mail.
The price is affordable and the value for money is great.

Avantages :

I like so many things about this product. It is very easy to use and works wonderfully with Gmail! The main pro for me is the ability to set reminders and schedule outgoing mail (rather it be a new thread or a response) I can also pause an inbox if I'm away or busy and set boomerang to automatically respond. When using this feature I'm able to choose specifically which inboxes are paused, it dosent have to be all or none which is so convenient. I can set up emails to be sent back to me preventing important threads from getting lost in my inbox. This product also tells me rather or not outgoing mail was read, very helpful for any email campaigns or email marketing/advertising!

Inconvénients :

The only cons I've came across are occasionally inconsistencies or errors. For example sometimes scheduled mail is not sent as it should be or not sent at all. On occasion I've also had to reset the product due to it not functioning at all.

Love the 'Pause' Feature

Commentaires : Strongly positive. I have been using it for years and it is a great way to make sure things don't fall through the cracks because they can come back to you.

Avantages :

I am a big fan of the 'Pause' feature for batch processing emails. I also really like their 'Respondability' feature.

Inconvénients :

The Send Later is a fantastic feature, which I am sure is why Google adopted it. There are delays in it loading and checking credentials. Unpausing from your smartphone/moble is not the easiest. You are redirected.
