Amazon.com Review
Everyone's computer is a bit different from the rest; those differences can add up to software failure. Users who've been driven to the edge of insanity by the refusal of their personal digital assistants (PDAs) to synchronize properly with their desktops should find relief with Pumatech's Intellisync 4.0.
Fully compatible with Microsoft Outlook 2000--as well as Lotus Notes and Organizer, Novell GroupWise, Symantec ACT!, and other information managers--Intellisync 4.0 takes a bit more thought and care to set up than built-in synch programs, but it rewards most users with flawless data transfers. The customization options are impressive, and allow users greater flexibility to decide which data to move where.
Users who are happy with their built-in synch programs probably won't find Intellisync 4.0 worth the price--the customization feature, while nice, just isn't as valuable as the range of compatible software and improved transfer performance. But users who have a nagging problem that keeps them from using either their PDAs or personal information managers (PIMs) to their fullest (for example, incomplete contact-information transfer or multiple PIMs) will praise it for turning their frustration into joy. Life's too short to hassle with uncommunicative machines. --Rob Lightner
Pros:
- Easily synchronize most PDAs with most desktop PIMs
- Customizable
- Integrated with Outlook 2000
- Best for users who suffer from incompatibility issues
- Few unique features

5.0 out of 5 stars
Just what I needed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Intellisync 4.0 (CD-ROM)
I just installed Intellisync 4.0 on my PC, in order to sychronize with my Palm 3x. I was waiting for a new version of this product to come out due to previous reviews noting problems synchronizing with Outlook 2000. I have not noticed any such problems with this version. Installation was easy, and I was up and running in no time. Previously, I had been running the Franklin planner software on my PC, as I had purchased the Palm from Franklin Covey. At work we use Outlook, so I ended up maintaining two seperate pieces of software - Outlook for email and email contacts, Franklin for calender and phone/snail mail contacts. Now I use Outlook for all, and I will abandon the Franklin software. I can't remember the exact process for the initial synchronization, but I didn't loose any contact info, and basically Outlook just sucked up everything that was in the Palm. It was so easy!! I give Intellisync 5 stars because it performed exactly as I had hoped and was extremely simple.

Try it before you buy it.,
By Concerned Reader (Marietta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Intellisync 4.0 (CD-ROM)
A 30-day trial version is available for download directly from Pumatech. Then buy it from Amazon. This is the only single user software I've been able to locate which will synchronize a Palm with Lotus Notes. I got the Palm for my wife (a power user by the looks of it), but in order to be practical it had to be able to download all of her calendar from Lotus. She's not a technophile; I was afraid she'd be annoyed (she loves Franklin Planners) with buttons and wires. She loves it. But it was Intellisync that made it practical. Installing Intellisync was easy and trouble free. She has no trouble at all plugging in the Palm via its HotSync cable and hitting the synchronize button on the cable plug. Upon doing this, the Palm "wakes up" and the PC wakes up, (Lotus doesn't even have to be running!). Intellisync then begins its job of comparing the Palm's database with Lotus' and vice versa. Before updating either, it displays a report on the PC and asks for confirmation. Any conflicts are resolvable at this time (i.e. the same person's address being changed in both Lotus and the Palm, which one should be kept?) All her appointments are copied (even all day events). The same for her personal address book under Lotus, and To Do items. The Palm isn't enabled for e-mail, so this isn't an issue. The software that ships with the Palm is adequate for synchronizing with Outlook 2000. Intellisync plus the Palm allow her to synchronize Lotus Notes at work with Outlook at home. We only had to purchase an extra HotSync cable. The details: Palm m100; HotSync serial cable; Intellisync 4.0; Lotus Notes R5 (5.0.2a); Windows 95 running on Gateway 300mhz Pentium.

Lousy Customer Support,
By A Customer
This review is from: Intellisync 4.0 (CD-ROM)
I have used intellisync 3.5 for several years and have found it adequate although technical support was limited/expensive, so encouraging purchases of upgrade. I just bought 4.0 as an upgrade but didnt notice that they had dropped support for Meeting Maker which is my calendaring Application. The last version which supports MM was version 3.7 which is no longer in stores and only avaialable from their website. I called their support # and best they could suggest was to buy v3.7 and east the cost of 4.0 since they wouldnt do an exchange.Their are to morals to this story : (1) Read the compatibility/functionality sttements BEFORE you buy and (2) try not to do business with customers service orgs who care only about $.....not customers satisfaction.
