Calendly Reviews

The hard part of online meetings has always been proper scheduling and with Calendly, we have been able to eliminate this issue. It made it easy for us to schedule meetings with our customers and them too are loving how we are able to attain a convenient scheduling time for both parties. It has a simple to use interface and everything in there is so straightforward. With Calendly, even stakeholders and other well wishers are able to book meetings with us more efficiently as they no longer have to go through the longer route of calling us to arrange meetings.

We get to see the value of using Calendly every time we use it and at no time have we encountered any drawbacks.

Ease of use and users can have their own account to manage and set up their own appts according to their calendar

Cost and I wish there was a team option that was less expensive

I like that I am able to see my entire schedule and incorporate it with other scheduled. I also like I can see the teams schedules as well.

I do wish that it was a little more user friendly.

It's simple and clean for both user and schedulee's

I would like to see better TWO way integrations. One way integrations are working great but sometimes scheduling happens outside of calendly and it isn't picked up.

It is easy to use and very similar to other programs that i've used.

The only cons are that is rather redundant if you already use an email that has the calendar functions.

What i have come to really love about Calendly for the years i have used it is how well it simplifies scheduling. It work perfectly with the majorly available calendars making it a perfect fit for everyone. I also acknowledge how secure Calendly is. It uses high-end security tools to keep all my schedules very safe and private to me so no worries of someone getting access to them. It makes scheduling very accurate and i have never had any issues with double scheduling or booking.

Calendly has been so great at its work and am honestly liking everything about it.

I appreciate how calendly has simplified my scheduling efforts. It's easy to setup availability time and sharing the link makes it a breeze for others to find suitable time. No more back and forths calls and emails trying to find perfect time for online meetings or even physical meetings. It's flawless integration with Google Calendar for utmost scheduling efficiency giving me more control over my schedules

Calendly ticks all the boxes for my scheduling needs.

Calendly user interface has a very undemanding design which makes it a super easy to use product. This makes scheduling for us very efficient and accurate. It works well with most of our products that needs time scheduling and this allows us to have a single scheduling solution for all our products. It performs extremely well in ensuring that our schedules remain secure.

Calendly has been at its best behavior in terms of performance and therefore no dislikes.

The easy way to set up meetings with my potential clients. And also to reschedule it

Nothing relevant comes to my mind as bad features.

Overall this is really easy to use and has integration with google. We integrate this with our website for bookings.

The main con is that it's a bit on the expensive side for what it is. This tool lends itself nicely to AI automation. One issue which often happens is that the end users get confused about the timezone of the meeting and book a meeting at one time and think it's at another time. A pop up wizard saying - did you know that the meeting is scheduled for 2am your time? Is that what you wanted? Find another time?

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.

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.

I love that I can set up many types of events, give them titles that make sense to me, and color-code them. I also love that I can customize the questions clients will answer when scheduling, and customize the reminders they receive. I also love that I can hide events from my main page, so I can target who I send the link to schedule certain kind of appointments.

Sometimes when there's a recurring event on my calendar that gets cancelled, my availability in Calendly will still show that time slot as busy. It doesn't happen often, but when it does I have to use a work-around and it takes more time to schedule something into that vacated spot.

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.

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.

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

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.

I like how Calendly integrates to icloud. Its simple interface and easy-to-create events features makes it a must-have app for all your appointments (also great for paid consultation/lessons as you can collect money from the app (paid version only)). It is easy to create an event type (one-on-one or group), and there lots of options available : event duration date range, even time zone. I like how...

Most integrations are only available on paid plans, and the free version is very limited but the company also needs to make money, so that's very understandable.

Limitations of Customization featuresVery limited/No Customer support Basic user-interface More dependent on external calendars

My startups a media startup works with tens of creatives per month and getting the booking in place can be an hassle. With Calendly, we can keep track of appointment and the clients can always make an update on the time change if there are changes and the time slot is available. This reduces the time spent on calls, trying to sort out appointment. Overall, the ease the software gives to the team is great.

So far, the software has been perfect and offers everything we need. We have not had any issues so far with Calendly.

I found it most important that Calendy is easy to use. For example, I can schedule interns easily or assign them work in a simple manner.

Nothing. I found that Calendy is generally very easy to use. I have not had any issues using it as of now.

The feature I enjoy on Calendly the most is the calendar sync feature. As a recruiter who has multiple back to back interviews scheduled daily, this helps me to easily keep track of everything as I can simply take a peek on MS Outlook to see if my current appointment is canceled. This makes it so much easier because sometimes I get so busy that I don't even have time to go back to the Calendly webpage...

Based on what I do access Calendly for, I really do not have any cons. All the background configurations are basically pre-organized by the company I work for, so I haven't had the chance to experience any cons. Thankfully!

Setting up multiple appointment types, integration with Google Calendar & Zoom, embedding booking page into website, confirmations of appointments, straightforward system admin and low maintenance.

Nothing I can think of, to be honest, it does everything we need, and I can't fault it

One of the things I liked most about Calendly is its efficiency in simplifying the scheduling process. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, allowing me to set up and customize my availability with just a few clicks. The integration with popular calendar platforms such as Google Calendar and Outlook ensures that all my appointments are seamlessly synchronized. Additionally, the automated reminders and notifications feature has been extremely helpful in reducing no-shows and keeping everyone on track.

While Calendly is a fantastic scheduling tool overall, there are a couple of areas where it could improve. Firstly, the customization options for the appearance of the scheduling page could be more extensive. It would be great to have more flexibility in terms of branding and design to match my personal or business aesthetic. Secondly, although the free version of Calendly offers a good range of features, some advanced functionalities, such as team collaboration and integration with third-party applications, are only available with the paid plans. It would be nice to have more robust features included in the free version.

Great interface: Calendly feels modern and intuitive, it is extremely easy to find what you are looking for and accomplish the tasks you need.Feels modern: The whole experience in Calendly feels fresh and modern, while this might not be important to some people, when you use something on a daily basis it definitely feels good.Easy to manage: Managing multiple calendars and team members is easy, you have all the options at hand and you can make changes, creates new calendars, add team members in few clicks.Automations: The automation options are great, although they could be better. For a basic user

Would be great to have some extra Zaps to be used in Zapier, right now the existing options are limiting to a point where you need to integrate other tools to be able to accomplish certain workflows.After creating a calendar and defining the type, you can't really change it, instead you have to create a brand new calendar from scratch, quite annoying to figure this out after you have created and configured everything.

Is it so easy for my occasional clients to set up video conference calls or one-on-one counseling calls, or group meetings with my company and our various producers spread between Tx and Ca. One link, and it sends the appointment to my email AND Google calendar, and has a feature that allows the client to reschedule if needed. Another huge plus is the buffering. I can allow for meetings and...

One big issue I have is, I use Opera as my main browser and it dislikes Google. So to use Calendy you need to use Chrome or Firefox to set things up and access all the features. This is more of a Google issue, not Calendy. In the paid appointment extra, they only take "Stripe" - if they ever add Square then it'll be well rounded out. Payment for the level you want is on an annual basis, not month-to-month, so I consider that a negative.

I am an EA for a high level employee at our company and often am scheduling several calls a day. Balancing international time zones mixed with busy schedules creates quite the headache! We implemented Calendly a few years ago and it has been amazing for one on one client calls. The sync feature ensures that there won't be overlap for the Executive and the buffer feature allows me to leave room between calls in case things run over. It's very nice to be able to just send a link to someone and all the scheduling is done, zoom calls and google calendar invites included!

I don't know if this would be possible but I would like to see a scheduling function that allows for multiple schedules. If I need to schedule for my Executive along with our CEO and a client, I have to do that manually and sometimes, the attendees add up! It would be great to see a sync with multiple calendars within one link, allowing me to send just one link to the client that has availability of our whole team!

I can share my calendly link with clients and contractors and they can easily schedule a meeting on my calendar without me having to be involved. It is user friendly for them and seamless for me. It requires no attention or maintenance on my part. You can connect calendly to your current calendar so that your availability automatically syncs as you make changes to your day. And this platform is highly workable for all of my needs without having to use a paid version! There are tons of customizations you can set, such as a buffer time to allow for travel between meetings, automatically blocking off or allowing specific times for each day of the week, disallowing bookings within __ hours, etc.

The ability to figure how exactly where and how to adjust all of the setup preferences is a little quirky. Some of the settings are "hidden" as sub-sections under other preference pages. I took a good bit of time setting and navigating through all of the customization options, but now that those are set, I don't have to think about or touch anything to keep Calendly working for me. With the free version, you can only have 1 meeting time for clients to choose from (for example, using my link, clients only have the option to schedule a 45 minute meeting with me). This is actually preferable to me though, as I don't want my clients to have to make more choices or spend more time in Calendly than needed. Using the free version keeps things simple.
