Google Apps and emails clients

[erazor51]

Recently I migrated my whole company to Google Apps and some of our PA's are having difficulty managing multiple calendars. The issue at hand is Google Calendar does not allow you to view multiple calendars side by side, you only get an overlay option.

Previous to moving to Google Apps we were on Microsoft Exchange and everyone was using Outlook.

Google has a tool that allows you to use the Outlook client but it has its issues. I would like to know does anyone know of any other email clients that allow you to connect to Google and have the side by side view for multiple calendars?

Thanks

Sorry for being super unhelpful but if you want to use Outlook exchange is superior, why did you ditch it out of interest?

I have found the Google apps Outlook sync to be problematic as well but have not looked at it in a few years.

There were many factors, to name a few:

- Unlimited mailbox
- No need to send large emails via 3rd party providers as you can send large attachments using Google Drive
- Unlimited Google Drive storage (in 2 months we have stored around 25tb of data)
- Greater collaboration with the international offices using google Docs, sheets etc
- Easy to audit and see what everyone is doing with the company data
- It's cheaper then having all the in-house servers running for Exchange, storage, backup etc.
