How DejaOffice Compares to Android Outlook App

Contacts

Even with a quick glance the amount of information displayed by DejaOffice over the Outlook App is apparent. The DejaContacts give detailed information about your contacts without even opening the individual contact.

Outlook App only offers a single list view and no sorting or grouping options, the DejaContacts can be sorted by First Name, Last Name, Company, Nickname, File As, or even a Custom Field. Grouping options include, Company, Category, City, City and Zip, Country, Country and Zip, and a Custom Field.

Outlook App does not have Search, or Map functions.

Calendar

The Outlook Android supports two views: Agenda and Day view.

With the DejaOffice app you get six views: Day, Week, Work-Week, Month, Year, and Agenda (List).

DejaCalendar supports advanced recurrence patterns, categorization and quick editing of events. Further options for filtering and view settings can be found in the DejaCalendar Settings to display your data just the way you like it.

Widgets

The Outlook app has two widgets, one for a focus email inbox and the second for an Agenda (list) view of your calendar.

DejaOffice has multiple options including a Contact, Calendar, Task, Note Widget. The Contacts, Tasks and Notes widgets give you a quick list of your data without even opening the app. There are several Calendar Widgets.

1. A small ticker which cycles through your event if space on your home screen is an issue.

2. A Today view, which displays any items scheduled for today. The today view can be adjusted to show contacts linked to events and tasks.

3. A Month view, from which you can see your entire month’s calendar at a glance.

All DejaOffice widgets display color categorization along with the data.

Tasks

Outlook App does not support tasks.

DejaOffice offers full support for your Outlook Tasks, including Priorities, Status, Completion Percentage, and more. As with all other data synced to DejaOffice, Tasks can be sorted and grouped by several fields. DejaTasks support multiple Priority Styles including the Franklin style.

Notes

Outlook App does not support notes.

DejaOffice app supports the standalone notes portion of Outlook as well. Contact and Calendar notes will sync within the associated Contact or Event. As with all other data in DejaOffice, there are several Sorting and Grouping options for your Notes. Most Android’s do come with a Notes App. Typically these notes are local only to the device.

Sync Options

Outlook App synchronizes through Microsoft Exchange (Office 365). So you must have a subscription to this service. The sync is relatively slow, taking as long as 15 minutes to update information to your PC. Data is stored in Microsoft Servers, and is subject to their privacy terms, which allows them to provide "enhanced features" based on your data.

DejaOffice supports secure USB, Wi-Fi and DejaCloud Sync. DejaCloud will synchronize all your changes in seconds.
