Pros

“We are using Calendly and it takes care of 99% of our scheduling needs, making it easier to schedule appointments with outside parties and other teams in our Administrative department.”

Alexandre D.

Secretary General

“Limited functionality on the free plan – Features like multiple event types, advanced scheduling rules, branding customization, and integrations are restricted unless you upgrade.”

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

“I could easily send prospects my booking link, they could view the available times I created (within around of minute), select and provide a link to all required attendees.”

Connor W.

Account executive

Pros

“The best platform to fill open positions for mass labor calls and keep track of people requests.”

Keiry D.

“I've been using Nowsta for our workforce management needs, and it has truly transformed the way we handle scheduling, time tracking, and communication within our organization.”

Rafaela S.

Business Developemnt manager

“Love the event layout and the ability to move people to different events easily.”

Graham H.

Director of Finance and Human Resources

Cons

“Dependence on perfect calendar hygiene – If connected calendars aren’t well maintained, scheduling issues can still occur, which puts responsibility back on the user.”

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

“The booking pages still look pretty basic, and for teams with very specific needs, the tool can sometimes feel a bit limited.”

Rashaad J.

Junior A and R Associate

“I tried it for my business but found that the features were not very customizable to our needs. When I contacted customer support to see more personalized options, they were quick to respond but for a growing and just starting business, the enterprise pricing was outside the budget.”

Sofia H.

CEO

Cons

“We cannot communicate 2 way with staff and cannot create a group chats with the team per event. Since we are here, also a section where you can have documents to give team.”

Pablo M.

Director

“Not allowing workers to Opt to share their calendars across multiple employers means that employee calendars are not always up to date.”

Jonathan R.

Director of Operations

“Sometimes can be glitchy but it could be internet access”

Lauren C.
