Allows you control over what type of meetings are booked, locations, etc. You can modify and adjust it to your liking. And you can also create your own link name.
Requires you to pay if you want to remove any logos or create any automation. Can also be a little confusing for the person booking the appointment as they get sent multiple copies of the meeting.
Allows me to give my customers the freedom to pick and choose their own time and needs for a meeting with me, without them having to email me back and forth, or call me.
It is super easy to use and beautiful. Works well with my ical and google.
It is expensive for a calendar integration. Also it is not possible to have just one calender interlink to your website. There needs to be more flexibility.
People have the ability to find a time that works for them without me having to write tones of emails till we find the right time.
ease of use and automation, it saves my time. no hassel
limited time options on free plan, should be at least two
scheduling calls, trying to automate my processes
Calendly makes scheduling meetings SO simple!
Works best for 1:1 meetings, rather than first available, or finding time between multiple calendars.
Automating potential customers scheduling time with sales team.
It's not always easy to share when I'm available. Calendly helps me make it easy.
I have a hard time remembering to update my own calendar to to make sure that I block out times that I'm not available. Days off, for example, I have to create a timed event that I title NO BOOK so that my clients don't book those dates.
I really appreciate not having to go back and forth on emails to say - when are you free, when am I free. This makes that process much easier.
It works well, looks decent and it allows options for Zoom, and Google Meets.
The only downside is limited features on the free plan and not having a pricing plan that suits me exactly.
Eliminating back and forth when scheduling meetings. Allowing potential clients to book time without having to break the ice.
Calendly is super efficient and it has simplified so many of my engagement processes. It has eliminated hours from my assistants' labor so they can do more productive things. I love the google ad-on that functions in my inbox.
not sure what happened to the google ad-on in google calendar.
it has removed the inefficiency in booking meetings.
I use this to schedule interviews! In theory, if they schedule it themselves they are more likely to show up. It hasn't definitely cut my no-shows for interviews down!
It's not visually appealing but that isn't a big deal.
Scheduling interviews!!
What I like about this software is we can create our own online consulting calendar so that people can come to our link and provide data and then they can book a call with me. And this saves me a lot of time to book a call and all the things for my business. It's like I hired a person who can help me to schedule all the meetings. And this is very very time-saving and efforts saving software. I can rely on this software.
What I don't is they have to give some guide video in the help section because not everyone knows what will happen if they click any random button. So that tutorial video will be very very helpful for everyone.
Auto scheduling my meeting. Booking a call.
people converts very quickly and you both save time
free version gives you just one type of event while I think most value is in automation and not in the number of events you can create, this might slow down growth as it might reduce the adoption rate
gives power to customers as they feel they decide and they can get straight away what they wanted when they reached out for an appointment and at the same time frees time and energies in the workplace
Easy to use and user-friendly interface, minimal features that make it easy for the users to either create a calendar or make some Bookings
Nothing really isn't impressive, I think the payment collection page can get more integrations
Customer Experience
It is a great way for my staff to set up their own timeframe for our meetings and it syncs well with my Google calendar.
Nothing it works extremely well for our site needs.
getting my team to schedule their own best times has made meetings more effective and efficient.
The best thing about calendly is they have a free plan.
To be honest, till now we have faced any issues in calendly.
It is helpful for us to schedule a meeting with our clients.
Calendly allows me to invite someone to set up a meeting with me without having to send multiple back and forth communications to figure out what each party's availability is- it has been the most efficient way for me to perform my job every day.
The only thing I dislike about Calendly is that it doesn't integrate well with my Outlook calendar and I have to manually reconcile the differences in my work calendar with my Calendly calendar every day.
Calendly has increased my productivity immensely by decreasing the amount of time spent scheduling meetings and phone calls through email.
Streamlines my scheduling process - and gets rid of all the back and forth emails trying to find a suitable time. I love that I have such control over buffering times, event types, max event types per day, etc etc.
Nothing - it’s easy and simple and super easy to use.
I need to constantly schedule sessions with teachers who have tight times available and I normally end up having lengthy back and forths via email to find suitable time slots. This slows the sale cycle down tremendously. Now I share a link and within a few minutes I see calendar entry arrive.
The feature I like most about Calendly is best to schedule meetings and send reminders we can even customize reminder timings.
Sometimes is doesn't send reminders to the users.
I use Calendly every day to schedule meetings and it makes it just so easy to use. It benefitted me a lot to remember meetings as it send reminders.
Giving students the option to independently schedule office hours with Calendly has been so easy and helpful during the pandemic! I also love that it can be set up to let students select a Zoom meeting OR a phone call.
I see no major problems: Calendly is easy to use, share, and implement! It integrates well with Blackboard and can even just be embedded in your email signature line.
Holding office hours during a pandemic! Scheduling meetings with peers Having fewer emails to deal with because people can schedule directly via Calendly
Calendly helps me and my team efficiently schedule meeting with our clients in a very easy and simple way
No particular reason comes to mind right now
It reduces a lot of confusion regarding client calls and lets the client pick the time by just sending a link to them. It makes scheduling meetings very easy and efficient
Ele é elegante, passa valor ao clientes e mais autoridade para quem usa, a integração com o calendly tambem é muito boa
Ele não ter integrações nativas com o Pipedrive CRM
Agendas, atividades de inside sales, landing pages!
Makes it easy to schedule screening calls with candidates without playing phone tag!
I am very happy with this service and do not have anything bad to say
Made it easy to schedule screening calls with candidates without the awful back and forth
Calendly dramatically simplifies the scheduling process. No more back-and-forth emailing and messages. I just give people a link.
Sometimes the canceling and rescheduling functions can be confusing.
It saves me time and trouble! I just keep my calendar up to date, give people my link, and Calendly does the rest. Awesome.
Calendly is the best software for managing and scheduling meetings on the go. It has a nice and clean interface which one can learn to use after playing around a bit. It comes with a get started pop-up to help the new users set and schedule a sample meeting. It lets the users choose the medium of the meeting along with the date and time.
Calendly has been a great support in reducing the hassle of scheduling meetings over calls and repeated emails. A user using the free version can satisfactorily schedule meetings with an ease and take advantage of the software. I haven't found a single thing to dislike about Calendly till now.
I am using Calendly extensively to set and schedule interviews, online appointments, proposal meetings, and sales presentation purposes. It helps me create individual and group meetings and lets me choose the medium of my choice from in-person, Zoom, Google Meet etc. Calendly has helped me reduce the hassle of setting appointments manually and taking continuous follow-ups via emails and calls.
Convenience The various integration tools starting with the Zoom integration. Reminder notifications and ability for individuals to reschedule their times without my intervention.
1. Under "Scheduled Events" I would like to see a "Cancelled" events tab that shows all cancelled appointments. This information must be different from rescheduled appointments. 2. I would also like you to explore a built in feature that prevents individuals from booking duplicate appointments (as long as they are using the same email address). Some people don't realize they can reschedule from their existing appointment or have lost the original notification. 3. Inability to customize the Subject of the Meeting. Please provide an optional field for users/administrators.
Saving time trying to obtain individual or group availability for a meeting. Elimination of the double work of booking an appointment and following up with a separate meeting notice. Empowering individuals to select their own slots and reschedule their own appointments. Filling my calendar without much effort. Tremendous time savings. Better planning etc. and peace of mind.
Calendly helps me save so much time going back and forth with clients trying to find a suitable time for all parties - I just send the client my calendly event link and boom, meeting scheduled.
I can't think of anything I dislike, to be honest. I use the free version so I don't have access to all features but the free features are plenty for my needs.
Calendly helps me save time - and, as a freelancer, lack of time is one of my biggest problems.
I've been using calendly ever since I started in tech going on 5 years ago, and I can't imagine scheduling with anything different. I mean, I can, because I've used other schedulers... but none are simple and feel as clean as calendly does. I love that I can drop the link anywhere I talk with people and it's the same experience as if I emailed it.
I've rarely experienced an issue. The only times I've had issues is being disproportionally assigned calls when on a round robin distribution with a team in calendly. As far as I'm aware, my leader went to customer support and got the issue fixed. Otherwise, pretty straightforward system to use.
As a recruiter, Calendly is the easiest way to get candidates on the phone after connecting with them via linkedin chat or other social sites. I like not having to collect everyone's availability to make times work, because the recipient of the link can select a time themselves. I also like that calendly can send automatic reminders as well, to minimize no-shows.
I love that with Calendly, I can easily add my calendly link to the signature in my email and have prospects book time directly on my calendar. It makes finding time that works for both me and my prospects super easy.
There is nothing in particular that I do not like. I would recommend this tool to anyone in sales that is looking to take away the back and forth of finding times to meet with potential clients.
eliminates back and forth emails to find times that work with both individuals availability. Calendly also sets up the meeting on your calendar for you to confirm the time which is awesome.
Fast way to schedule a meeting and show availability for other people. Intuitive and simple to use. We integrate Calendly with Close (CRM) helping a lot to centralize meetings
Once the meeting is booked for another person, I can`t add guests or reschedule unless I`m one of the guests. It would be helpful if some accounts have permissions over another to do that
Fast way to share my agenda and book a meeting with another person, saving me time in the process. Besides, I can easily change for other timezones and leave a brief description of the meeting, it's awesome
The best thing about Calendly is the fact that it integrates with Google Calendar and it gives the availability according to the meetings and the overall schedule that you already have, so if someone wants to book a meeting with you, you know that it is not going to be at the same time as another meeting.
The only thing that I don't like about Calendly is the fact that in the free version, you can only have 1 type of event so if you want to have a shared meeting with a member of your team, you can only give that link and not one for another meeting just by yourself.
Calendly is solving mainly the meetings and schedule organization in a simple, intuitive and easy-to-use platform, while being integrated with other calendars such as Google Calendar to automatically put new meetings in them.
so many options, linked with my (Google-) calendar! Very convenient and easy to use for my customers. Even in the free version pure gold!
not really anything... Why shall I write so many characters, when I don't dislike anything???
having customers book 1:1 sessions (Zoom) with me
I love the ability to Automate reminders and follow-ups for clients
There really aren't many, potentially including third party's who need to be in the meeting, but whose calendar isn't shared or accessible, when those meetings are rescheduled the third party isn't notified.
Time, calendly removes the need to call and remind and clients of their meetings, which takes the load off of my admin team
