Cloud Directory vs Outlook GAL

The native Microsoft 365 Global Address List (GAL) is limited. Cloud Directory adds the missing flexibility without IT changing anything on the tenant.

When Cloud Directory makes sense

If you regularly need external contacts, subcontractors or unlicensed employees in your directory, the native Outlook GAL is too rigid. Cloud Directory extends it with filters, whitelabel and a modern web directory, without changing the tenant.
