It’s a bit clunky. You can search for something, but if you want to see where that article sits relative to the others, you have to exit the search mode to view it in its actual context. There’s also... See more

Came to Essential PIM 10 years ago, as a relief from MS Outlook. Rapidly realised its simplicity and potential, and bought the lifetime updates licence. Now I run my life with it as an essential aid... See more

An excellent program

A well thought out and implicated program which does everything you would need and does it well. Any updates are actually beneficial and enhance the programs usability.

New version released

New version released - and it doesn't work!

The sync'ing between PC and android fails. It's been 5 weeks while they've been trying to fix it and no date given as to when it will be accomplished.

If you use this on an android device stay away.

The error happens on the Android EPIM version, so the new version of Widows EPIM could never have fixed the problem.

There are multiple workarounds for the issue mentioned in the support forum, please have a look there or contact our customer support, we'll be happy to assist you while engineers are working on the bug.

IT is the Best PIM I know

IT is the Best PIM I know. Using it since many years I don't want to miss it. The syncronisation over own WLAN is perfect, no need to use a cloud, but cloud also possible. Mailclient with database and all linkable to calendar, tasks, contacts in the desktop-software makes it to a complete system.

Most likely the best PIM Program available.

This is one of the best PIM programs available and I have been through tons of them over 20 years. Very versatile and the GUI is the most responsive I've seen. One thing that sets this application apart from most others is it's configurability. Kudos to the EPIM Team

After a thorough analysis I chose EPIM…

After a thorough analysis I chose EPIM already many years ago (since release 2.x, I presume).
As solid as a rock, 1000/% reliable, fantastic flexibility, and a wonderful user community and Service Support.
The best PIM I know.

Very bad synchronization

As I have already mentioned several times the program is good but the synchronization with google and android is terrible.
Each sync doubles or triples the records. Very bad!!

Highly recommend

Having previously tried several Information Management programmes and found them lacking, either functionally or through poor support, I unreservedly recommend EssentialPIM.
(a) --- It works well, and (b) the Support Team are superb.
The only regret I have --- I wish I had discovered it a long time ago.

It is sad

It is sad, that you don't operate with Linux.
So I cannot use you, as I work with Linux Mint !

We've got users who use EssentialPIM under Linux with a help of Wine. There's an article about that in the Blog section on our web site (sadly cannot post a direct link here). I'd recommend you to have a look. Thanks!

Great by itself but sync needs modernisation

As a stand alone program it is great but the sync process with other copies or with android is abysmal.

Great on the pc stand alone good functionality Great security all in one notes contacts email etc.

But

Thes days if it doesn't sync seamlessly with your phone it's not cutting the mustered they seam to have been trying hard to get sync working but without much success. Delets and/or randomly duplicates stuff

So as a stand alone I give a 4 to 5 star but as a package, sorry its only a two star at most

Excellent

One word: EXCELLENT. Whenever you have a question or a problem you get a quick answer (<1 day).
Interface is easy (looks like the original Outlook interface of Microsoft).

EssentialPIM - My Choice

I adopted EssentialPIM because of continual problems with MS Outlook. I only use the Home version but it has performed faultlessly in the year I've been testing it against two other non-MS applications and will continue with it for the foreseeable future.

EPIM Highly Recommended…

I use EPIM for my contact manager and all scheduling. It works like a Swiss Watch--smoothly and efficiently (but does run fast). When I need clarification, help is a quick and useful response. I don't use the email capability much (yet) but it has a very useful facility to send emails to each contact in a list (ie send newsletter). I most highly recommend this program to anyone needing a scheduler and/or contact manager....and advanced email capabilities.
