Pourquoi passer à Kiwi for Gmail

Cost and features.

Avantages

Very rich and dense application. Gives a desktop-like experience.
Better memory management compared to Chrome.
Very easy to switch between accounts in a single window.

Inconvénients

Lack of tabbing feature which leads to too many windows being open.
Make the color palette a bit more intense to easily tell colors apart.
Doesn't seem to integrate with the password manager during the initial login.

Avantages

Its basically the same as google suite, but a stand alone app. Does what it needs to.

Inconvénients

1. Nothing net new is added that I can't do from the web-based g suite.
2. Email draft windows will randomly close out. If I was using that to remind myself of something, it can then slip my mind.
3. [IMPORTANT] Calendar reminders have completely stopped working. I now longer get a pop up reminding me. This, along with email, are the two main things I need to work for this app. I've reported it, and there is no timeframe to fix this.

Avantages

Five Gmail addresses are smooth and easy to organize. Quick and easy to fly through messages and prioritize. Time saver!

Inconvénients

Implementing filters still a bit quirky.

Avantages

I like the simple filtering you can use to just show mail from the last day and mail that is unread. I also love the ability to have emails open in different windows

Inconvénients

I would like to see some more integrations.

Avantages

I like that I don't need to open a browser to access my Gmail accounts. I have all my email accounts in the same application. I have access to all the gmail functions.

Inconvénients

I would like that the software could be an application for my Iphone and Ipad.

Avantages

All the applications in one place. Clean appearance and ease of use.

Inconvénients

Some of the pop ups overlap the screen, for example adding a new contact by using the details from an email the pop up for the contacts opens up and hides the email address and footer.

Avantages

Having a standalone app that my Mac can use as the default mail app is great. I can have multiple accounts open at once, and even jump straight to my Google Drive files.

Inconvénients

The only thing I dislike about the software is the embossed/indented text showing the account name at the top of the app.
A way to ONLY show notifications from the primary inbox would be great - I don't need notifications for promo emails.
A quick way to access a dark mode, without using Gmail Themes would be great.
Having the option to use more standard shortcuts would be great eg: use the delete key to delete emails. The Gmail shortcuts are horrible.

Avantages

I like how it recollects all emails in one single app and how rather than mixing everything it easily still keeps it separate based on the address the messages go to. It's very user friendly and perfect for businesses.

Inconvénients

It does make computers significantly slower and there is not much support or information on how to improve it's functionality online. For a long period of time it was very difficult for me to be able to use my MacBook efficiently as its huge energy and processor capacity consumption would lag all programs. Until the latest update came the problem did not fix itself.

Avantages

It allows you to have all the accounts you need to handle in one place.
It's very helpful when your organization and most of your clients move in the GSuite space, so you can make the most out of the apps in the suite.

Being able of using a couple of the extensions available is also super helpful in the processes, specially when you need to schedule a ton of emails and schedule a ton of zoom calls.

Inconvénients

In a sense, it's a glorified web browser for Gmail use only, and if you strip it from the drive and gsuite apps capabilities and the fact the it eats up SO MUCH processing power if you activate the wrong combination of extensions is not nice.

Also, in big sur (mac) I can't have more than 2 extensions or more than 2 accounts logged in.

Avantages

Integrated my Gmail accounts into one place ... great interface and easy to install and use. Makes it easy to switch between email accounts (personal, work, other) quickly and within a single app. Filters and pop-out compose email window are nice features. SIdebar menu gives easy and quick access to G-Suite programs (Docs, Calendar, Sheets and Slides).

Inconvénients

The upgrade from 2.0 to 3.0 was required as they rewrote the program. It required a reset (easy) and separated out the licensing from being integrated in the software to a separate web portal. The upgrade was free to their Basic platform but I really didn't see any change in the interface or new features. The new features are only available at additional cost in higher subscription tiers. I would like to see them add the ability to use other than Gmail accounts to their interface.

Avantages

I have several Gsuite accounts due to my involvement in a number of non-profit organizations. I was looking for a solution where I could access all these accounts quickly and conveniently, and I thankfully found the perfect solution. Kiwi is just what I was looking for! Set up was a breeze, I like the color-coding so I can easily identify each account, and the app is very fast. Most importantly, it's all in one app so no more stumbling through multiple tabs in my browser looking for a particular Gsuite account. Bonus features: I can access each account's calendar, Google Drive, and contact list. A fantastic all-in-one solution!

Inconvénients

The only feature I would love to see in Kiwi is the ability to pick custom colors for each account. I'd like to be able to match the color with the organization's brand color.

Avantages

I am an IT engineer with over 20 years of professional experience. I have very critical of new software, especially products new to me. This is by far the best way to make Google Workspace feel like a dedicated desktop application without sacrificing any of the Google features. The user interface is clean and intuitive, everything works as expected, and is simple to figure out without pouring through documentation or online help.

Inconvénients

I don't care for the licensing model for the enterprise product, there should be a perpetual or fixed version license option. I am not a big fan of subscription based licensing for desktop applications.

Avantages

Having seperate windows instead of tabs is really helpful. Also all your accounts are in one overview and you don't have any difficulty with signing into several accounts (like personalised business email, sales inbox and private) and you can colour code your accounts to distinguish which one you are working in. The integration with Boomerang is just as good as in your browser.

Inconvénients

It's a great app, but I miss the Chrome Lightning Inbox extension for Salesforce, by Salesforce.

Avantages

Incorporates all the Gmail features I use

Inconvénients

Maybe make it more customisable in line with corporate colour schemes

Microsoft 365

Pourquoi passer à Kiwi for Gmail

More compatible with Gmail

Avantages

1) Gives centralized email/calendar frame ( company currently uses Gmail).
2) Access to google drives, docs, sheets ...etc. without burning yet another browser tab/window

Inconvénients

Wish for more ways to custom categorize mail to specific groupings similar to more standard email clients.
Cleaner synchronization with OS notifications ( in my case Win 10).

Avantages

I love that it works both Mac and Windows; love having easy access to all my gmail accounts in a simple app instead of chasing through browser tabs

Inconvénients

No native support for Apple silicon yet, not indications if it’s coming. Won’t run on Microsoft surface pro X. Often one or more accounts ends up with a blank screen and no way to fix it without restarting the app. No Linux support.

It’s pretty good, just wish they were more aggressive about making it work everywhere given the price.

Avantages

The 3 things that I really love about Kiwi is...
1. It brings all of my inboxes together.
2. My email is free from the browser.
3. The UI is clean and simple.

It does integrate with some extensions but the only one I use is Grammarly.

Inconvénients

I don't have many complaints but it is slightly lacking in features in comparison to some competitors. I think the main complaint I have is that I can't highlight text and click Search in "Name of default search engine"

Avantages

It provides a much better user experience than using Gmail and Google Calendar in a browser, yet it provides efficient access to the full array of Google for Business services.

Inconvénients

Does not over come the limitation of more than 100 emails per view which is also a limitation of Gmail inio a browser. I t would be amazing if they could solve that limitation.

Avantages

I love the integration of all the google products into one desktop location. It is the perfect email and google client.

Inconvénients

There is really nothing missing from the suite of programs available within the Kiwi software.

Avantages

The keystroke shortcuts are an absolute time saver. I am able to create unlimited projects and keep track of my daily work as well as long term meetings, goals, etc. using Kiwi.

Inconvénients

I wish there was a way to create auto-text replacement for frequent typos.

Avantages

I love having a separate email client, but so many of them either don't work with or ignore some of Gmail's best features, like snoozing. I live by snoozing. So why not have a client that keeps the Gmail interface and such but adds more features to it? That's what Kiwi does and it's SO GREAT.

Inconvénients

I wish it had some sort of unified inbox but I can live without it.

Avantages

I loved that this software puts everything at my fingertips - my docs, calendar, drive, etc., and allows me to have my email docked separately from chrome. I appreciate order and having my computer tidy. So, Kiwi allows me to have both my personal and work email up at all times even if I don't want to use chrome, and I don't need to have that many more tabs open to keep an eye on my email. I can look at everything easily without bouncing around from tab to tab. It's fabulous.

Inconvénients

The biggest issues I've had so far is not being able to download files that are attached to emails. I can add them to my drive, but not download. Some files are specific to my Mac and can't be opened by drive. The only way around this is to access my email in chrome and download from there, which kind of defeats the purpose of having Kiwi in the first place.

Avantages

I use two different e-mail addresses for two different practices that I prefer to keep silo'ed from each other. For that reason, given that one is O365 and the other one is GSuite, Kiwi fit the bill by letting me keep the GSuite e-mail apart. Feature-wise, it offers all functionality of the web-based GSuite, but operates as an independent app. It has been reliable, with no crashes, and allows me to keep out of the browser.

Inconvénients

More customization would be good. I, for example, can't figure out how to change the default download directory, so saving an attachment requires an extra step.

Avantages

I have been incredibly happy with this product. When our company switched to the Google Platform away from Outlook I was worried about losing a mail client application, and Kiwi has made the transition so easy. I love all of the features as well as having multiple accounts through one client. The additional features including creating new documents, access to the drives, and more have been so incredibly helpful

Inconvénients

I have had some issues with glitches, like the program quitting all of a sudden, but overall, have been incredibly pleased with this software.
