Looking for an Outlook alternative?
Microsoft Outlook is a great email client used by many enterprise businesses. It has many useful features for individual email management, however, when it comes to using Outlook for business - specifically for customer support, there are a few limitations.
For example, Outlook does not support a universal inbox with multichannel integrations, which is an essential feature in customer service. In addition, Outlook's features don't promote productive collaboration amongst agents. If you want to boost your customer service and are looking for an Outlook alternative, consider LiveAgent.

Automate Tasks
