Summary: Instructional Systems Design Officer
Review: Great program. It helped me synch my palm between work and home. Was able to synch multiple palms on home and work computer to share schedules and contacts. Would recommend this product for any multiple palm office or home usage.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: be careful
Review: I bought this program because I was desperate to syncronize my Palm Pilot IIIx with Outlook 2000. All I had from the beginning were problems and error messages. After calling the company and talking to two different representatives for two hours total, I didn't resolve anything and I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable computer user. I have never had as many problems trying to configure software on my desktop.

I suggest that before you buy Desktop to Go make sure that you are ready to take advantage of the 30 day money-back guarantee. I had never had as many problems with a Dataviz product and I was disappointed with this product. The techs told me that there were probably other software conflicts but nothing was resolved beyond that.

Summary: Valuable for anyone who uses any version of Outlook
Review: I have been using Desktop To Go for the last six months, synchronizing my Palm III (and previously used it with my PalmPilot Professional) with Outlook 97 (at home) and Outlook 2000 (at work). I synchronize from several times a week to several times a day, and I find it an invaluable tool.

The latest version (2.505) has added several valuable new functions, including synchronization of only changed items (which speeds up synchronization), and an optional feedback panel that shows what is being synchronized as it happens. There is also an option that let's you quickly and temporarily turn off Outlook synchronization for those times when all you want to do is install some new software.

As with any software, I would advise carefully reading the documentation before using Desktop To Go for the first time.

I had a difficulty with installing Desktop To Go on a newly installed Windows NT equipped computer (it later turned out that the NT installation was screwed up), giving me the opportunity to find out how good DataViz Tech Support really is. This is how I found out about the very fine debug option that allows the manufacturer to get a detailed report on all synchronization activity and ways to resolve even the most stubborn tech support issues.

I recommend that anyone who wants to use Palm with Outlook try this product.

Summary: Great Sync for Outlook
Review: i'm using DTG v2.506 which is the newest version as of 8/00. i'm
currently using this to sync with Outlook 2000 (under Win98 for both
work and home) and find it an invaluable tool. it installs easily and
works smoothly with Outlook -- i'm running Palm Desktop 3.0.1, Hotsync
3.0.4, Palm V with OS 3.3 and have no problems yet.

i really enjoyed
the options for syncing things like date book, address book, and to do
list within a specific time span (i.e., sync all tasks 60 prior and 90
days forward from the date of the sync). the to do list will also
allow you to only import to the Palm those items still open, thereby
leaving the completed tasks on your desktop as archive.

there
isn't much of a manual here but it is an intuitive process. as with
any new software, be sure to back up your data before preceeding and
be attentive to the initial sync.

Summary: Great product for Outlook synchronization
Review: I've used this product at work to synchronize my Palm III with Outlook on our corporate network for over a year now. I've been very happy with it. The only problem I had was the first time Daylight Saving Time changed. In Arizona we don't switch to Daylight Savings Time and Desktop to Go assumed we did. My times got screwed up. I called their support line and they quickly showed me how to correct the problem. It's worked fine ever since. There a lot of nice features and options regarding synchronization but you don't have to mess with them if you don't want to - it works great right out of the box. I highly recomend this product. It's stable, easy to use, they have helpful support staff.

I'm using this under Window NT 4.0 and Outlook 2000 (initially under Outlook 98).
