Calendly keeps your calendar organized
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Calendly from other similar products?
Calendly stands out due to its robust and flexible availability settings. Unlike other scheduling tools, it allows you to set highly specific availability rules, which is great for managing various meeting types and time zones. Additionally, its streamlined integration with calendar systems and automation of group scheduling makes it a powerful tool for both individual professionals and larger teams looking to optimize their scheduling workflows.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite feature of Calendly is the ability to customize availability settings extensively. This flexibility allows me to precisely control my schedule and avoid double bookings, making it easier to manage my time effectively. I also appreciate the option to set up notifications globally for all users, as this standardization simplifies the onboarding process for new team members, ensuring everyone is aligned with the same scheduling rules and reminders.
What do you dislike most about this product?
While Calendly is incredibly useful, I have experienced occasional issues where scheduled meetings failed to sync with my integrated calendar, which can cause confusion. Additionally, I find the layout limitations frustrating; for example, I can only modify the content of email notifications, not the format or layout. The "Reschedule" button is also positioned quite low in the email, making it difficult for some participants to locate, which can lead to missed or unrescheduled meetings.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I would definitely recommend Calendly, especially if you’re looking for a user-friendly tool to manage your schedule and streamline meeting bookings. It's ideal for teams because of its automated notifications and customization options, which save a lot of time. However, I’d advise double-checking calendar integrations to ensure all meetings are correctly synced and to be aware of its layout limitations, particularly if customization is important to you. Despite a few drawbacks, Calendly offers great value and efficiency in scheduling.
