"Great tool - saves a lot of time and money!"
What do you like best about Calendly?

Where should I start with? Let's put it like that, if it wasn't for Calendly, I would not be able to schedule 50% of the meetings that are bringing the cash for our organization. We're an SMB shop and efficiency is key to what we're doing. Like all SMBs we're operating within the scope of the very tight budget, yet we needed to optimize our demo scheduling process. After we've found Calendly, we were able to achieve the goal. And honestly, I don't want to go back to the old dark days when prospects were tearing us apart and the team here felt like our time doesn't really belong to us, and we are no longer in control of our own schedule.

What do you dislike about Calendly?

The pricing is a challenge, especially during these times. I'd be even happier if they provided discounts to SMBs during the pandemic. A great example is MR (Marcomrobot.com) - they did not charge us a single penny.

What problems is Calendly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Benefits- your calendar belongs to you finally Drawbacks - pricing

"Free plan works good."
What do you like best about Calendly?

The free plan of Calendly is great because it's free and lets me schedule meetings with members of my team, or prospects from other companies wanting my services. The free plan only does one basic email reminder, however, any type of reminder helps better than none. And the calendar invitations saves time.

What do you dislike about Calendly?

I dislike how you only get 1 meeting type without upgrading. I also dislike how you can't do much reminders without upgrading.

What problems is Calendly solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm meeting with people using a DFY calendar scheduling software.

"Only thing I use for sales calls. "
What do you like best about Calendly?

Whenever I am on a cold call and get interest, I tell them to go to my link and schedule a time. This way, they can choose a time they're actually available at instead of saying yes to a random time. It also makes it like a bigger event because it puts in their and my calendar.

What do you dislike about Calendly?

It would be great if you could have it a different color like black, blue, red or something just to test the conversion rate. Only having white as a background means we can't test.

What problems is Calendly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scheduling sales calls with potential customers.

"Very helpful for high volume appointments "
What do you like best about Calendly?

I enjoy the integration with google calendar and the ability to set my calls within the time frame I select. Rescheduling is easy and it is great that it organizes and saves your history.

What do you dislike about Calendly?

I don’t feel like there is anything I don’t like about the software. The only thing is automating your scheduling makes it less personal.

"Calendly works well, but could use a few more features"
What do you like best about Calendly?

Calendly saves me a bunch of time scheduling meetings with clients. I can easily send my link out a dozen times a day, and even include it in my signature block. My clients seem to feel comforted by the fact they can schedule time with me in a few clicks.

What do you dislike about Calendly?

Sometimes I want to change the settings for all of my events, but there are not universal event features or a way to make bulk edits.

What problems is Calendly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Calendly makes it a lot easier and faster for me to schedule time with clients. It saves me from the headaches involved in finding a mutually good time to meet.

"Very useful, especially in its calendar syncing "
What do you like best about Calendly?

Automatic syncing to Google Cal! We have yet to have issues with the syncing.

What do you dislike about Calendly?

The features behind the premium paywall — some of them, like simple reminder emails, seem basic enough that they shouldn’t be paid features only.

What problems is Calendly solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed an easy way for people to schedule calls with us and for us to keep track of those calls within our existing calendar system. Calendly provides that!

"Excellent free option but needs customization capabilities. "
What do you like best about Calendly?

I like that my clients can instantly book appointment with me based on my availability which is synced with my personal calendar to block off certain dates and times.

What do you dislike about Calendly?

I dislike that the administrator is unable to manually approve requests. I want to be able to approve or deny booking requests each time someone schedules to book.

What problems is Calendly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Provides a free option for clients or co-workers to schedule appointments with me instantly.

"Easy and Accountable "
What do you like best about Calendly?

I like that I can easily rsvp to an event or meeting someone invites me to and it instantly is connected to my calendars on my mobile devices and mail. I also appreciate how simple it is to view the time zones since I am interacting with people from all over the world using Calendly. Most of my meetings are on Zoom, so I am able to visit the Calendly invite and easily click the link to enter my meeting.

What do you dislike about Calendly?

I truly have not found anything that I dislike yet!

What problems is Calendly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scheduling is made simple! I used to miss meetings due to time differences more often than I liked. With Calendly, I always know when it is time to be there- on time!

"It is convinient"
What do you like best about Calendly?

My clients can schedule appointments with me! They can be difficult to get on the phone so this way they can just go and set something up.

What do you dislike about Calendly?

Nothing really. The user interface is nice. It is very simple to use for both myself and the clients.

What problems is Calendly solving and how is that benefiting you?

The pain of having to set up an appointment with clients. They very rarely prefer to call salespeople back so this way they can set something up whenever they would like to.

"Say goodbye to phone and email tag for finding the perfect meeting time with Calendly"
What do you like best about Calendly?

Calendly is a simple, easy-to-use, yet powerful scheduling software, which aims to save time, accelerate sales, and improve service quality. It eliminates the old-school way of using email and phone tags for scheduling appointments, calls, interviews, demos, and more. It allows hot prospects to connect right away, and ensures staff doesn’t lose them to phone and email tags. It works simply and beautifully: all you need to do is to set your availability preference, share the link with clients, colleagues, etc. and let them pick a time for the event, which is automatically added to your calendar. It’s more efficient and simplified compared to traditional appoint scheduling solutions, and it makes it easy for users to setup, use, and manage scheduling of appointments and more.

What do you dislike about Calendly?

Outlook plugin doesn't work at times. Need to restart the computer.

What problems is Calendly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Integrate with Google, Office 365 and Outlook, and checks all calendars for conflicts to avoid double-booking.
