Migrate your InLoox data
Outlook-native project management software with Microsoft 365 integration, targeting mid-market teams who live in email and calendar workflows.
In its favor
Why people choose InLoox
The signal that keeps InLoox on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Deep Microsoft Outlook integration lets project managers create tasks and log time without leaving their inbox, reducing context switching for email-centric teams.
Unlimited tier includes full API access with no documented rate ceiling, making it viable for integrations and data extraction in migration scenarios.
Multi-platform access via web app, Outlook plugin, Teams integration, and mobile apps means team members use whichever interface suits their role.
German-headquartered company with a track record appeals to European enterprises with strict data residency and compliance requirements.
Project Portfolio Management features on higher tiers allow organizations to govern multi-project pipelines from a single dashboard.
InLoox 11 was rebuilt from scratch and not all InLoox 10 features were ported over, creating friction for teams that relied on missing functionality.
Reporting and filtering capabilities are described as limited by some users, particularly when trying to generate tailored views across large datasets.
No AI assistance features are available even on the Unlimited tier, which some teams view as a gap compared to competitors adding AI task suggestions and summaries.
Teams requiring complex workflow automation find InLoox's native automation options less extensive than dedicated automation-first PM tools.
Scale-out to very large project portfolios without performance degradation is inconsistently reported, with some users noting navigation lag on dense datasets.

What gets migrated
InLoox object support
Object-by-object support for InLoox migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Projects
Fully supportedProjects are the top-level container. We pull name, description, status, start/end dates, custom fields, and the full phase/task tree via the web API. Outlook-stored project references are reconciled against the web API response to avoid duplicates.
Phases / Milestones
Fully supportedPhases are sequenced sub-containers within a project. We preserve phase order, milestone flags, and milestone due dates and map them to the destination's equivalent stage or milestone object.
Tasks / Subtasks
Fully supportedTasks and subtasks carry assignees, due dates, priority, completion status, and checklist items. We flatten the subtask hierarchy and reconstruct it in the destination using parent-task ID linkage.
Resources / Team Members
Mapping requiredResources are user assignments on tasks and projects. The mapping depends on whether the destination uses a flat user list or a role-based resource pool. We match by email and flag unmatched assignments for manual resolution.
Time Entries
Fully supportedBillable and non-billable time logs are tied to tasks or projects. We preserve the logged hours, date, user, and optional description. Rate-based billing fields require field mapping to the destination's time entry schema.
Documents / Attachments
Mapping requiredInLoox links to SharePoint Online document libraries or file server paths. We export the document URLs and metadata, but file content migration depends on the destination's document management system and access permissions.
Budgets / Budget Lines
Mapping requiredBudget data lives in a structured budget section scoped to the project. Not all destination PM tools model budgets identically, so we map budget totals and line items to available custom fields or financial objects in the target system.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredInLoox allows custom fields on budgets, documents, line items, and mind maps. Custom field schemas vary by project, so we extract the full field map per project and apply field-level mapping during load.
Gantt Chart Data
Fully supportedGantt task dependencies and date ranges are stored as part of the task object. We extract predecessor/successor relationships and reconstruct the dependency chain in the destination Gantt or schedule view.
Kanban Boards
Mapping requiredKanban column definitions are project-specific. We export column names and card positions as a structured list and map them to the destination's board columns, noting where column counts differ.
Mind Maps
Not in this platformMind maps are stored as a proprietary structured format in InLoox. No standard export endpoint exists and the format is not publicly documented. We do not migrate mind map nodes; we flag their existence and recommend exporting as a screenshot before migration.
Checklists
Fully supportedInline checklists on tasks are stored as structured list items. We extract every checklist entry, its completion state, and parent task association and map them to the destination's checklist or to-do sub-object.
Departments / Org Units
Mapping requiredDepartments and departmental permissions control visibility. We extract the department tree and permission mappings but permission structures often do not translate directly to other platforms and require manual post-migration configuration.
Project Roles
Mapping requiredCustom project roles (up to 10 on Enterprise/Unlimited) define what a user can do within a project. Role definitions vary significantly across PM platforms; we map named roles to the closest available role in the destination or fall back to a generic contributor role.
Risk Records
Mapping requiredRisk management objects include risk title, description, probability, impact, and status. We extract all risk fields and map them to the destination's risk or issue object, noting where probability/impact rating scales differ.
