Version: CodeTwo Public Folders 4.5.9

Summary
I have worked with mulitiuser PIM programs for 4 years and this is the best I have come across. I used WinPim for several years until I upgraded to 64 bit Windows 7 and WinPim was not compatible. So I went searching for a replacement.
I tried a range of products - don't like those that use email to synchronise and some were simply too non-intuitive.
Pimero looked good but would not synchronise reminders - which meant my PA could not set up my appointments with reminders on my laptop.
Then I came across CodeTwo Public folders and it meets all my requirements. I like MS Outlook and it uses all the strengths of Outlook. It is also competitively priced. -
"Perfect tool for teamwork - very, very simple to use"
Version: CodeTwo Public Folders 4.5.9
Pros
It's very simple to install and use. We connected 22 computers without any server software and it is working smoothly. Allows for syncing multiple calendars, Nice access rights manager. Big plus for option to sync documents.
Cons
Haven't noticed any.
Summary
We had problems organizing teamwork in my company. We were looking for a program that would let us sync tasks, calendars and mail. Since we're using Outlook, we were looking for Outlook tool that would let us share all outlook items. We googled for solution and found CodeTwo Public folders. We tested it for free for 30days and then bought the license. It's about 40 dollars for each seat - couldn't be better. The only problem I had was syncing categories - but CodeTwo offers additional freeware tool for that CodeTwo Catman. CodeTwo - it's a job well done!

Summary
What I like about it the most, is that I share everything in my own network and therefore I'm sure all information is safe. It really seams to be a reliable software..
