Boomerang for Gmail Erfahrungen

Improves instantly your work focus and message load without the risk of missing something important!

Kommentare: Boomerang for Gmail gives me more control over my agenda and workflow. Since my job is very related to messages and events sent through email, Boomerang it's totally compatible for kanbanflow and any calendar.

Vorteile:

Easy to use, syncronizes practicaly alone and the free version works excellent!

Nachteile:

Probably I like it so much I would like to have more availability for the free accounts.

Love the 'Pause' Feature

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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

Nachteile:

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.

Not worth it

Vorteile:

Boomerang promises a lot but doesn't really deliver in any one particular area. Everything useful is a paid feature

Nachteile:

Paid plans are more expensive than competitors. They aren't clear about what you pay for when you first download.

Extends Gmail Features

Kommentare: I am rather new to Gmail and Boomerang yet I would describe my overall experience as going very well.
Nobody in healthcare has an uninterrupted schedule and it can become hectic. The bezels of my computer were covered in sticky notes reminding me to send, follow up, or reply. Boomerang is much more practical and betters my time management -- very important.

Vorteile:

- Trustworthy company -- Support addresses complaints. - Boomerang emails that are important or that have not received a response. - Schedule a future date and time to send any email with calendar picker. - Alerts when follow up is needed. - Android mobile app performs well -- Reliable and consistent. - No subscription needed.

Nachteile:

- New look and updates needed. - Freedom to re-arrange or expand on the left margin menu would better the experience.

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

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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!

Boomerang has changed the way I use email

Kommentare: The benefits are far greater than the costs. It really helps me keep after people when I need to get something done.

Vorteile:

The tool is simple, there aren't a ton of features, so it's easy to use it for what it's built for. It does a great job at making sure I don't forget about an email that needs to be responded to, but doesn't need a response right now. The other great thing about it is that bayden does this program called "Revive your inbox" that really teaches you best practices about how to manage your email program. It has changed me from creating layers and layers of folders and spending a bunch of time filing emails that I'll probably never need again, to someone who can use the search feature in gmail to find what I need whenever I need it.

Nachteile:

It can be easy to create a backlog of boomerang messages in your inbox. Too easy to put off that follow up you need to do.

Best plugin to help you with your email

Kommentare: With Boomerang integrated with Gmail, one thing that I like very much is the Pause inbox option which allows me to rest and recharge and respond to long list of emails

Vorteile:

Using Boomerang for Gmail, I am easily able to schedule emails to go at a particular time and also resend certain emails if there are no responses or follow-ups are required

Nachteile:

I cannot think of any dislike for Boomerang. It has been a life saver for me

Boomerang - super useful

Kommentare: This is a really easy way to supplant a CRM and make sure you never forget about an outstanding email or question

Vorteile:

Super easy to use and a very seamless way to never miss anything/let nothing fall through the cracks. Over time more features were built, but the OG purpose is still the core one I use: have email go back to top of your inbox after x time, if conditions y are met (e.g. you never got a reply, which is the one I use 95% of the time)

Nachteile:

Small details only - because I don't use threads in my inbox, instead 1 email is 1 row, I'll get a notification that an email triggered that I need to follow-up on (e.g. havent gotten a reply to an email in 2 weeks), but then I need to click into it and separately open the email in question. It would be great if the reminder immediately included the email its about as well.

Makes you look real smart

Kommentare: I use Boomerang to schedule emails with international contacts all over the world. It makes my life a lot easier knowing that I can get important messages into their inbox at times when they are most likely to be active in their inboxes. Being able to track opens, link clicks, etc. also helps me to understand how productive my outreach is proving to be, which is nice.

Vorteile:

Tracking reads and link clicks are a big part of what makes Boomerang great, and I do like using those features on occasion to get insight into how my external messages perform. The biggest benefit I see, though, is in using the scheduling feature. Boomerang has dramatically improved my success rate in getting timely responses to my emails just by virtue of letting me time messages for when the recipient is likeliest to get it at the top of their list. I've even gotten a few compliments from people surprised that I was active and emailing at unusual times and days. Truth was, I wasn't working at all; Boomerang just made it seem like I was really on the ball.

Nachteile:

Minor complaint, but the UI in the Gmail application really doesn't look very nice. There are also a couple of issues with button and field placements potentially leading to misunderstandings. I would recommend reviewing your activity carefully so that you're sure that what you're attempting to do is actually done.

Never forget to reply again

Kommentare: Overall Boomerang has been an excellent productivity tool. It helps me stay on top of parent and student emails so that I can respond in a timely manner.

Vorteile:

Boomerang for Gmail is an invaluable tool for staying on top of your email. The best feature for me is scheduling. I love being able to schedule my emails to go out at a later time and the reminder if I do not reply to an email that has a question in it. As a teacher I get a ton of emails and Boomerang really helps me stay on top of it all.

Nachteile:

The biggest issue is the calendar integration does not seem to hold all the time. I feel like I am asked quite often to reconnect my calendar for events. I like the ability to make events directly out of an email but the constant connecting of my calendar is very annoying.

Boomerang make client management easy-peasy

Vorteile:

As an entrepreneur I sometimes work some WEIRD hours, but I have defined communication hours for my clients. Boomerang's ability to write an e-mail now and send it later means I get work done when I want to, but respect my communication boundaries!

Nachteile:

I haven't really player around with any other features, so I guess I don't have any complaints.

Was the bomb, got sherlocked

Vorteile:

When I first heard about this, it solved all of my problems with getting to inbox zero. I didn't really use any of the more advanced features as I wasn't sending customer emails at the time..

Nachteile:

That it cost money, it seemed like a natural part of an email product, which of course, it is now.

Boomerang for Gmail: A savior of workplace chaos

Kommentare: Honestly, it has been a positive experience with Boomerang for Gmail mostly because earlier it was challenging to do other work because of the deadlines of simply sending an email. After using this software, I schedule my emails as per the requirements and can get busy with other work without fearing to miss the deadline of sorts.

Vorteile:

I use this software extensively every day to snooze emails as per priority, to track emails to know who has opened and not responded, to get reminders for follow-ups, and to schedule emails as per the requisite deadlines. Before using this software, I had to manually sit and send an email, but now I can schedule it as per the requirement & do the needful proactively.

Nachteile:

I would like to see how the software can be improved in terms of prioritizing reminders or follow-ups for emails and even the snooze priority will help when the deadline is close.

I can't imagine using Gmail without Boomerang

Kommentare: Who isn't guiltyof having a messy inbox? I know I am. Most people have multiple (you know you do!) If you don't please tell me your secret.. Boomerang keeps it nice and tidy for me. My line of work involves unknown periods out of the office and sometimes I have to go offline, it's incredibly easy for a conversation to slip my mind. Boomerang reminds me to get back in touch and prevents what could be a full fledged disaster.

Vorteile:

Boomerang is like an email babysitter. It ensures that things don't get out of control and that you don't forget anything. It'll even let you know if your outgoing emails are read. The neat thing is you're able to boomerang threads back to you at a time when its convenient. You'll no longer have to think up excuses as to why it's taken you so long to reach back out and in turn you'll have more time to focus on your work. When you really need to focus you can put your inbox on hold.

Nachteile:

I can't say there's anything I vigorously dislike. When I reach out to Boomerang it may be a day or so before I receive a response. They claim to read and respond to every single email and as far as I can tell, they do. So I can't be too upset about it. Maybe more personalization?

Simply awesome and powerful tool to use for Gmail.

Kommentare: My overall experience is very good and usage of this tool has made my work experience lighter and productive.

Vorteile:

I liked the simple setup and use of this app feature into Gmail. Company wide use is very much appreciable since we can setup auto replies and customised mail queries to particular users. The calendar feature is also very helpful in setting up reminders and get notified.

Nachteile:

The features provided by Boomerang are merely sufficient and rest features are already available in Gmail, so it's least likely to dislike anything about this application.

A game-changer in managing my inbox

Kommentare: Returning important emails to my inbox at a later date, reminding myself to follow up with people by scheduling the email to bounce back to me if they don't respond.

Vorteile:

I use Boomerang to help manage my personal and work-related email accounts. It's been a massive help since I started using it . I used to let dozens of emails pile up so I wouldn't forget about them, but the ability to send them away and have them return at a later date is invaluable. I also love being able to schedule follow-up reminders for myself by scheduling sent emails to return later if they don't receive a response. The "responsible" feature that rates the quality of your email using AI is pretty neat too.

Nachteile:

Can be a big buggy sometimes when verifying that I'm logged in, but nothing that hampers usability.

A life saver for scheduling emails

Kommentare: Boomerang allows me to work whenever I want to and to send emails when it most suits my business needs. It's a software I can rely on to send important correspondence at the correct time.

Vorteile:

I love how easy Boomerang makes it to schedule emails. I often work late at night and prefer to have my emails arrive first thing in the morning; with Boomerang I can sleep easy knowing that my emails will arrive at the intended time.

Nachteile:

I wish you could easily customize the automated "Schedule Send" times. Mine autopopulates with send "this morning" at 8 a.m. and "this afternoon" at 1 p.m. I wish I could set them to 7:30 a.m. and noon, for exavmple. You can of course input your own custom time, but it would save a little effort if you could customize the autopopulated times.

Nice features, easy to use

Kommentare: I've been using Boomerang for several years, and it has greatly improved my productivity, and my ability to get responses to my emails.

Vorteile:

Being able to schedule emails, and have it remind you if you don't get a reply, helps keep you on track, and not let things fall through the cracks.

Nachteile:

One of the only cons that I have found is that the extension in Google Chrome can be a bit slow to load.

Productivity soars with a clean inbox

Vorteile:

I use my inbox as a 'to do' list--until something is addressed, I leave it in my inbox. At times though, I am waiting on another person or want to revisit something in a few weeks without starring at it every day until then. Boomerang allows me to do just that--with the click of a button, I am able to ensure that emails wind up back in my inbox and, with a clean inbox, I can focus on what really needs to be addressed now.

Nachteile:

Boomerang works by almost forwarding the email back to your inbox. Thus, with gmail, you might have a thread of emails (the original one and then the one from boomerang). Once you get used to this though, it really is not a problem at all.

Boomerang- the tool you NEED!

Kommentare: I use boomerang as an add on to gmail. As a student, I am often up late at night working. I use Boomerang to set up an email to deliver in advance, so I don’t commit the faux paus of emailing my professor at 3 in the morning!

Vorteile:

Boomerang allows me to schedule emails in advance, particularly, when I’m working late at night, but don’t want to expose the recipient to my late night mailings. I’ve recommended Boomerang many times to other students

Nachteile:

I don’t love how Boomerang sets an assumed time to send around two days in advance pretty much automatically. I think it should take you straight to a window where you select date and time once you press schedule message.

Great addition to Gmail!

Vorteile:

Easy to send delayed messages or send reminders. Can add read receipts to sent emails. Extremely easy to use and requires no training. Plug-ins for Google chrome for enhanced functionality.

Nachteile:

There are no cons to this software, it's great!

Delay Send, Tracking, and Return to Inbox

Vorteile:

I was missing the ability to schedule messages to send later that was possible with Microsoft Outlook. My current employer uses Gmail as our platform and I had to draft an email and then send later. It was taking too much effort, thus came Boomerang. I can now work as late as I want, but send all the emails the next morning. It really helps me stay on top of my work. I can also schedule messages to send later if they aren't important right away. This is one of my favorite workplace tools.

Nachteile:

Occassionally the software glitches, but it is very rare and a quick refresh is all that is needed.

Schedule and manage your inbox

Kommentare: reminders of important emails, and ability to send on a sunday afternoon or evening, but arrive Monday morning

Vorteile:

A great tool for productivity and managing your inbox - boomerang allows you to snooze any emails until later, returning them to your inbox when you think you'll want them, and also allows you to schedule email sends, so that you can have them arrive in the recipient's inbox at a suitable time

Nachteile:

Nothing really, it does what it says above, and I can't fault it. Used the free version for a while, but happy enough to pay a few dollars per month for the service.

Game-changing for managing email flow

Vorteile:

Boomerang allows detailed scheduling of email messages. It helps to maintain a professional image if you are working late or at weekends, for example. Email scheduling also means that emails can be scheduled for the times of day when the receiver is most likely to read and act on them. The pause inbox feature allows me to receive notifications only for the most important emails. Not least, I now also know whether sent email has been read.

Nachteile:

The free version is limited to 10 emails a month.

Perfect for those looking for simplicity

Vorteile:

It was easy to use and navigate. There isn't much to this software but what it can do, it did well enough. I like the boomerang feature where it reminded me to follow up. Since things can get hectic and I forget to shoot an email to a client, this takes out the guesswork. The open and click tracking seem to be pretty reliable in their accuracy, which is a pleasant change from many other tracking software I've used in the past.

Nachteile:

First of all, the opens are sent back to you as emails which can result in a flood of emails in your inbox, especially if you had sent a good number of emails. This isn't very pleasant. There are ways to work around this but it can be annoying. Secondly, I can't say that the Respondable feature was very helpful. It seems like there is much more work to be done to it to make it 'effective'.
