Calendly reviews

Looking for a way for your clients to book with you online? Look no further!

Opmerkingen: Calendly has given me the ability to let my clients book time with me in an easy, effective, efficient and streamlined way - I know I've said this over and over again, that' because it's true! In 2022, there's nothing better than trying an new product that works EXACTLY as it's advertised to work while also providing much more features than you thought were possible/knew you needed. Calendly has helped me to streamline my workflow through creating an easy booking process that requires almost no effort from me. Set it and forget it.

Pluspunten:

I love the simplicity of Calendly both on the front end and the back end. My clients can book through a Calendly link that takes them to a professional looking booking page where only my available times can be selected while my personal information (calendar appointments and such) is kept private. On the back end, it is easy to create various kinds of events and include in them features such as booking questions, FAQs and various other information and options.

Minpunten:

I have yet to find anything about calendly that i don't like. One place they can improve is to allow clients to book recurring events without having to answer the scheduling questions for each booking.

Calendly is a great tool, but a bit expensive

Pluspunten:

I like the fact that they are leading the field in branding terms. People are used to ask for a Calendly link rather than other tools.

Minpunten:

I think it is very expensive and that the user experience isn't very intuitive.

Calendly, the entrepreneur's first digitization step

Opmerkingen: I loved how calendly makes it easy for eveyone including those with little or no previous tech experience, to digitize their appointment system and streamline their time management without having to hire an assistant if they can't afford such an expense.

Pluspunten:

Calendly is just amazing, starting with a free version that offers all what you need to get your calendar fully online and automated, allowing you to let clients and even friends and family to book time with you based on your linked calendar's availability

Minpunten:

Well, we wanted more for the free version, where only one meeting type is offered. However, it is not limited by number and a big number of my entrepreneur or startup clients are using the free version of Calendly beause they simply don't need more. The need for paid version will come up once the business scales up and requires the accommodation of more functions.

Calendly Is A Great Business and Personal Productivity Tool

Opmerkingen: Calendly is a user-friendly scheduling tool that can make scheduling meetings and appointments with others much more efficient. It has really been a game-changer for us at LujaraLab. I get appointments at the time that are convenient for me. Our team also work as convenient because a client can only book based on our availability.

Pluspunten:

Calendly has a simple, user-friendly interface that makes it easy for people to schedule meetings with you.Calendly eliminates the need for back-and-forth emails and messages to schedule our meetings at LujaraLab. It automates the scheduling process, saves us time and reduces the chance of scheduling conflicts.The other fantastic thing for us is the advanced analytics and reporting that allows us to track our meeting scheduling activity and make data-driven decisions.We are also able to embed Calendly on our website and sales funnels.

Minpunten:

Calendly does not have the capability to handle recurring events with different schedules for different weeks.There are lots of limitations that come with the free plan, such as a Limited number of integrations, Limited customization options, and Limited analytics and reporting options

"The best calendar scheduling and booking software ever!"

Opmerkingen: Calendly is by far the best meeting scheduling tool that I've used. Users can input their availability and book times quickly and easily thanks to the user-friendly UI. What's best? Your calendar can be synced!

Pluspunten:

Calendly eliminates the need for back-and-forth emails and texts to arrange our meetings at LujaraLab and offers an easy-to-use UI that makes it simple for people to schedule meetings with you. We also have the ability to integrate Calendly on our website and sales funnels, which is wonderful for us because it allows us to track our meeting scheduling activity and make data-driven decisions. It streamlines the scheduling process, saves us time, and lessens the likelihood of scheduling conflicts.

Minpunten:

When we switched from Acuity to Calendly, there are several crucial things we lost. The simplicity of usage on the backend is one of the primary ones. I was able to overrule and double book on Acuity as an admin, but Calendly prohibits that. The admin settings, in my opinion, have not yet been fully developed as they ought to be. Additionally, all cancellations must be made in the background; otherwise, if a meeting is declined in Google Calendar but not manually canceled through Calendly, the person would still receive reminders.

Calendly facilitates efficient appointment scheduling.

Opmerkingen: By implementing Calendly into our appointment scheduling process, my team has been able to eliminate scheduling complications and interruptions. As a result, we have saved time and decreased the number of missed appointments, which would have otherwise resulted in missed opportunities.

Pluspunten:

One aspect of Calendly that I particularly appreciate is the ability to schedule appointments with our prospects directly from our email and social media marketing campaigns. This feature allows us to engage with and convert sales prospects at the peak of their interest in our banking products and services by providing them with the option to book appointments with our sales and marketing team directly from a campaign page.

Minpunten:

In terms of appointment scheduling, I believe that Calendly fulfills all of our requirements. I am thoroughly impressed with the value that this software has brought to our operations.

Calendly is consistent and everyone's time saver

Opmerkingen: Calendly has saved me and my candidates so much time, especially with features like adjusting timezones for individual people and being able to integrate it with my other applications. Not only that but the reminders keep you on track throughout the week and it's really easy to reschedule for someone or have them reschedule.

Pluspunten:

Having so much control over availability and options for it. For example being able to add override dates or spacing out your meetings so they can't be booked back to back

Minpunten:

Can't think of anything, i think this product has been great from the beginning of my use and I have not had any problems with it so far

Ease of access to Calender and Scheduling

Pluspunten:

Best calender app for scheduling quick invites and collaboaration

Minpunten:

Difficult to understand with features different from meet or g-Calender

Calendly meets every bit of expectation

Opmerkingen: It has a great user experience.

Pluspunten:

The most interesting feature about the calendly is it's ability to synchronize with google. I get email notification for any booked time

Minpunten:

The landing page for the calendly software can be improved.

Easy to use

Pluspunten:

I use it to schedule with others who use it but I do not use it for my own scheduling. It works well

Minpunten:

I do not know how to integrate and sync with my outlook calendar.

Calendly Review

Opmerkingen: Switching to Calendly was necessary for our business. Acuity was missing some key features that we needed to have and they weren't clear/couldn't say when improvements would be made. Pleased with Calendly overall. Its native integrations are really helpful as they work with our CRM and have an extension for Google Chrome, which makes grabbing scheduling links quick and super easy.

Pluspunten:

The best thing about Calendly is that it natively integrates with third-party calendars. That is the main reason why we switched to Calendly and it has increased the number of leads and clients showing up to meetings.

Minpunten:

There are some key features we lost when switching from Acuity to Calendly. One of the main ones being the ease of use on the backend. As an admin on Acuity I was able to override and double book, but Calendly doesn't allow that. I don't think the admin settings are fully developed as they should at this point in time. Also, everything has to be canceled on the backend or else when a person declines a meeting in Google Calendar they will still get reminders if it hasn't been manually canceled through Calendly.

Life is too short for back and forth on sync time

Opmerkingen: I am a huge fan of this software that I have encouraged my entire team to use it daily for internal and external syncs and it is amazing for sales meetings.

Pluspunten:

I love how easy it is to set up calendly and then just make the link public for my entire team and for external vendors etc and even pre decide the time I want to spend in each of the meetings.

Minpunten:

I want to add a feature for someone trying to book a longer time slot to be able to pick two three slots at once.

Prepare to get time back!

Opmerkingen: I was able to get back likely a few hours a day and headaches while working as a recruiter. Now running my own company I am able to send this off to candidates and clients to book in time to speak with me.

Pluspunten:

I absolutely love this product and have been using it for over 3 years. I introduced it at my last corporate workplace and switched all recruiters over to using this product instead of calling and booking in candidates for interviews - we simply sent over a link and they plugged time into our calendars! The functionality and emails you can send to the people using your link are also super helpful.

Minpunten:

They introduced a fee to pay, I always have stuck to the free version which has been great for me. I wish you were able to book in multiple time durations and not have it split up, also I wish that you could integrate it with more platforms such as Wordpress.

Calendly rocks

Opmerkingen: So far, so great!

Pluspunten:

Most appointment schedule tools offer similar features, but Calendly's prices are much sweeter. Perhaps other software offers more bells and whistles, but I wouldn't know because Calendly does all I need it to do for about 1/3rd the price

Minpunten:

I'm not sure yet. I wish I could have all the different type of offerings on one schedule. Right now if I offer appointments at one site they have to be in a separate calendar from another site because I need to make sure I'm physically present at the site and set the calendar up for those dates only.

Great scheduling software

Opmerkingen: So far I have enjoyed using Calendly as a booking platform. It is easier to use in my view compared to some of the other platforms I have tested. The ability to integrate it with my clients websites was also very helpful. Recent integration with zoom even on the free platform has been very to some of my clients who were not quite ready for paid versions of the platform.

Pluspunten:

I like that the free version is pretty robust. You can calendar sync and ask pre-qualifying questions so you are better prepared for clients at the meetings. I also like that even on the free version you can connect to zoom and schedule the meeting for either Zoom or or a phone call. With the paid version of Calendly you can also collect payment in advance to avoid no call no show appointments.

Minpunten:

It would be nice to have more than one event type available for free. I also don't like that the first tier paid version does not allow for payment or notification. Probably not a major thing to everyone but they don't have an affiliate program which sucks for those of us who are regularly recommending products that we use to our clients.

Simple, attractive scheduling

Opmerkingen: Whilst I've subscribed to Pro (and highly recommend if needs fit), I find the free plan perfect for what I currently need. Even on the free plan you are able to set your availability via working hours and calendar integration.

Pluspunten:

The thing I like most about Calendly is probably how it looks to the end user when booking an appointment. Personally, it's the most attractive (and simplest) one I've come across, and I've tried a few competitors.

Minpunten:

I have nothing particularly negative to say about Calendly. The only thing is the recent rebranding; the logo really irks me. Luckily this design hasn't leaked into the design of the actual calendar software though.

Impresses clients and saves time multiple times a day

Opmerkingen: As previously mentioned, Calendly has allowed our organization to reduce email back and forths with clients. Furthermore, it allow you to give a client access to someone else's calendar through a link. The joint meeting scheduling is phenomenal and provides even more breadth to the tool.

Pluspunten:

The ability to customize meeting names, meeting times, and send unique links to clients is so helpful. Additionally, I truly appreciate the ability to integrate with Zoom and create buffer times between meetings. Without Calendly, scheduling meetings with clients would be extremely cumbersome and I'm confident we would lose at least 25% of our current bookings.

Minpunten:

I would like the ability to have a signup as part of the software. At this point, I don't believe that someone can register for a standing weekly meeting.

Caleb fly Review

Opmerkingen: It’s been fantastic! I have already recommended it to other people who are in my line of work. I used to just do my scheduling manually and it was inefficient and time consuming. As well as, I often times made mistakes when it came to scheduling in different time zones.

Pluspunten:

I am in Sales and how a whole region in multiple different time zones. I find it incredibly helpful to be able to select the time zone and it automatically populates time slots available for their zone. I can’t even begin to tell you how helpful this is. It’s far better to have that automatically calculated than me trying to figure out the time zone differences.

Minpunten:

I honestly have nothing to add. There is nothing that I dislike about this software.

A user friendly, convenient tool.

Opmerkingen: Overall the experience has been positive. I have not really had any issues with the service.

Pluspunten:

Scheduling appointments with clients and prospects is much easier without the need to email potential meeting times/places/methods back and forth. I like that clients can choose whether to call or use one of several video conferencing methods (ie Zoom or Google Meet or MS Teams), all within a single appointment type. Other products I have used do not have this option and require that multiple appointment types be created to allow clients to choose this. Calendly is ubiquitous enough that many third party vendors integrate with them. It also works well with Zapier for those vendors that do not directly integrate.

Minpunten:

I would prefer not to pay a monthly subscription, but most of their competitors also charge a subscription fee and the ones that don't are less capable, so this is a necessary expense. I wish it were possible to also choose an in-person meeting from the location options, rather than just between phone or video. I had to create a separate meeting type for in person meetings, leading to redundancy in the appointment listing.

One of the best collaboration tools!

Pluspunten:

I got to know about this awesome tool when a consultant from one of the world's top companies sent me a link to his Calendly calendar so that I can book a slot. I liked the feature because I could choose an available slot as if I was making a booking in my Outlook with someone from my organization. However, I did not start using it immediately. A few months later, I joined a project in which there were consultants from four organizations and it became very inconvenient for everyone to book a meeting with people from the other three organizations. It is when one of my colleagues suggested using Calendly and setting up my account with it. I can not thank him enough because after that I started using a link to my Calendly calendar in my Outlook signature. Other people also recognised the power of this excellent collaboration tool and within a week almost everyone on the project started putting their Calendly link in their Outlook signature. This greatly increased the productivity of the project team. Among many good features is a feature to set up multiple calendars (e.g. office and personal).

Minpunten:

Once a new team member, belonging to another organisation, asked for a time slot to book a meeting with me and I gave her with link to my Calendly calendar. It was around 9:30 am and I had a couple of time slots available around noon time e.g. one at 11:30 am and another at 2:30 pm and then the next available slots were at 4:00 pm and 4:30 pm. Since she wanted the meeting as soon as possible, she informed me that my Calendly calendar did not have any time slot available before 4:00 pm and whether I could prioritise meeting with her over some low-priority meeting. It is when I realized that Calendly had hidden my all available slots within 6 hours. Though this is a feature to prevent someone from scheduling a meeting on too short notice, there should be a way to customize it e.g. if I want to decrease this time from 6 hours to 1 hour. I tried finding this customization feature but I could not find it.Maybe the feature is already there and I haven't found a way to use it.

Calendly Review

Opmerkingen: Calendly is one of our main tools and the business problems which we are solving are as such:- 1) Implementing Booking system in the website of our Chiropractors websistes. 2) Automated email-reminders for every new or existing patients booking to the doctors and their team. 3) Connected calendly with zapier and sending and segmenting existing and new patients to different google sheets and analyzing the marketing expenses and accordingly setting our budget for the coming campaigns. Calendly has given us great benefits from booking system to analyzing the marketing budget.

Pluspunten:

Features which are most impactful are as such:- 1) Multiple events creation. 2) Automated Scheduling and Sync with Calendars. 3) Adjustment of time-zones automatically based on where the attendee is residing. 4) No Conflict in calenar of the invitee. 5) Automated remiinders and confirmation messages. 6) Connecting it with third party tools like - Zapier, Integromat etc. Calendly is easy to use. It was easy to integrate calendly with our clients existing business.

Minpunten:

I have not found any missing feature inside Calendly. But there is always an scope for improvement and addon. If I will find out anything that needs to be in Calendly, I will come back and write again about that or I will write it back to their team. I have a recommendation for calendly if they can create an analytics dashboard inside Calendly so that we can analyze the monthly, weekly, daily bookings and also export the data.

Simple tool that does exactly what it's supposed to do and does it very well

Opmerkingen: No more back and forth with colleagues or clients trying to find a time that works well for everyone. Also, II use Calendly to allow prospective clients to book calls directly with our team. Super convenient!

Pluspunten:

I like that Calendly does what it's designed to do exceptionally well and doesn't try to do much more. It's super simple, easy to use, and inexpensive. It always works, and it saves me a bunch of time and back and forth.

Minpunten:

Honestly nothing that I can think of. Calendly just works super well. It also integrates super easily with just about any other tool out there via Zapier or direct integration, so I couldn't want much more.

Calendly makes meeting scheduling painless.

Opmerkingen: Before calendly I remember that there usually was more than 4 emails going back and forth just trying to find a feasible option for the parties involved. Today I just give them a link and they pick whatever available spot they find in my calendar which works best for them, so they make their own choices. That results in a lot of less no-shows. Additionally when people want to have a conversation with me and someone else from my company, instead of going back-and-forth in emails trying to figure out options for 3 people, I can just send them a link with a merged calendar showing them only the options that work for me and my co-worker.

Pluspunten:

Calendly makes it really easy to set up meetings. I no longer have to figure out via email or phone with a client what's the best time to meet. They just simply go to my calendar and pick the best available option. It saves a ton of time. You can customize your availability however you want. It is absolutely flexible on that and it is time-zone smart. I usually talk to people sitting in every continent. It makes it easy for them to translate the options into their timezones. Additionally, calendly is fully integrated with my calendar apps. Both iCal and Google calendar work perfectly with it. For example, it automaticaly blocks the spots when you create events from other platforms.

Minpunten:

Calendly is really good and is really easy to use. I don't dislike anything to be honest. Maybe the UX of the dashboard can be improved, but it is not a deal breaker.

Convenient Appointment Scheduling Tool

Opmerkingen: Calendly has been quite beneficial for me in the office as well as in my personal life for time management. It provides my clients the impression that they have the ability to choose a time that is most convenient for them. Calendly, for sure, has enabled me to make more informed decisions about my day and my week.

Pluspunten:

Several of the business productivity applications on which I rely on a daily basis can be integrated with Calendly without difficulty. Calendly's interface with LinkedIn or any other apps allows me to quickly and simply communicate my upcoming meeting hours to colleagues who are interested in having a meeting with me in the future.  People who want to make appointments with me will be able to do so at times that are not expected to be booked by other appointments.

Minpunten:

Limited resources available for integration set-up. Although the instructions were obvious when I first joined up and set up my link, I wasn't sure whether I was doing everything right. It was a little challenging.

Eliminate the back and forth

Opmerkingen: I can't live without it. The time it saves me, the ease it provides to me and whoever is booking, it's second to none. It's a complete game-changer!

Pluspunten:

I love the ease of Calendly. My consumers and guests can book time with me at 7 AM, 7 PM, or in the middle of the night. I don't have to be involved, there's zero back and forth. I am in control of my schedule, creating blocks of time when "I'm available." This helps with efficiency, ensures I set boundaries in my day, and helps me stay organized. The workflows and reminders are a game-changer. They're set it and forget it for the most part and increase your show ratio! A win/win! I honestly don't know how I scheduled things before this.

Minpunten:

I've had to troubleshoot some issues in the past where I had availability but my online scheduler showed "no appointments" available. This was a bit cumbersome to try and understand why it was not showing availability when I thought it was set up properly. I wish the FAQ could help with this a bit more. I eventually was able to open time up, but the following day it showed me as full again so I had to schedule on my own, which made me value Calendly even more. This was a one-off situation though. 99.9% of the time I do not have any issues.
