Google Calendar vs Microsoft Outlook: Which is best for you?

If your organization is making use of the Google Workspace ecosystem, then Google Calendar takes care of 99% of what you need from a calendar, appointment management, and appointment setting standpoing.

Recurring events can’t be easily customized for exceptions or irregular schedules, and there’s no built-in task hierarchy to help organize priorities or subtasks.

Overall, Outlook is a solid, dependable email and productivity platform that’s well-suited for professional and business use. While it has a learning curve and occasional performance issues, its reliability, integration, and organizational tools outweigh its drawbacks.

It also has a few glitches with showing read vs unread emails and the number of unread emails icon on mobile doesn’t update in real time.
