Salesforce Outlook Plugin Versus Data.com on Performance issues

Hi All,
I am planning to install the Salesforce for Outlook plugin to sync my Emails, Contatcs, Events, Tasks. I am concerned if there will be any performance bottlenecks in my Outlook after installing the Plugin.
Any inputs on the potential performance issues in Salesforce for Oulook Plugin is appreciated.
Can we use Data.com instead of Outlook plugin to achive the above requirements?
Please let me know the inputs and suggestions.

Don't think you would be able to sync Outlook using Data.com, Salesorce for Outlook(SFO) would be a good option for your users to sync Emails, Contatcs, Events, Tasks. I've seen a lot of users using SFO without any performance issues. You can control the amount of data you are syncing using the Data sets defined in SFO such that you make sure only relevant data is synced and not the whole DB including non essential data:
