Calendly Reviews - Page 5

Calendly takes away the hassle of the back-and-forth emails prior to scheduling meetings. It is easy to use and easy to set up. It integrates with most calendars and meeting software like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams which is pretty much what most people need.

Integrating with Microsoft Teams can be a bit of an issue depending on how your Teams account is set up. I along with other users in my team struggled a bit when we integrated Calendly with Teams.

Being a full-time employee and doing a freelance job on the side Calendly really helps me manage my schedule. I also loved that you can customize your availability and you can just attach your URL on my job application or my profile and let people book meeting with me. I can also integrate other meeting software seamlessly which is very convenient because it will auto-populate your calendar invitations.

I can't say anything bad about this software at all. Not only it is user-friendly you can also customize it which saves me a lot of time and makes everything organized. I really loved this software and I would definitely recommend this to everyone.

Scheduling!! I love how I don't have to keep checking my available times & ask forth with the people, but I just send my Calendly link to people, and they themselves schedule fitting my calendars! So easy!!

It's great! If one thing can be changed, I wish I can separate reminder each for the person and me. For another person I'm going to meet on Zoom, I would put 30 minutes reminder to that person. And then, I want different 10-minutes reminder for myself. But there's only 1 time setting for now.

I love that the set up is so easy - and once it's done, pretty much everything is automated. All I have to do is share different links for different meetings. I have 9 different ones for specific services I offer and it's money well spent! It truly enhanced the smooth sailing of my business operations!

I'd love a feature where you adjust meeting times (i.e. when I beed to block out an entire day or days where I am unavailable) and I can tick which links they apply to. I use 9 different links, and since I offer different availabilities for each of them, I have to manually adjust each one of them.

Calendly makes it super easy for me to organise customer interviews. I can set up events that relate to various topics that me and my team are interested in finding out more about, and as customers engage with us on various topics that match I can send them a calendly link for that specific event via email - which for anyone who has dealt with the insane back and forth involved in scheduling a time...

My only gripe is that I found it difficult to differentiate my events on the dashboard, as they are represented by very small cards. I only have about 4 or 5 event types at any given time, so the poor use of space really stands out to me. This is exacerbated by the fact that I use many similar titles because all my event types relate to the same product and are all customer interviews. Lastly (maybe this exists but I haven't found it) I wish that a recurring event type would also put a block in my calendar so that team members do not book during that time. I would rather always use those blocks to talk with customers and push team meetings to other parts of my day. Currently I am doing this manually, which is fine, just could be more seamless.

Calendly is easy to setup on first use and very easy to use generally. The basic features of the software are offered for free. So you get a chance to get a good use of the software, whilst also having access to some pretty neat basic features. If your booking a high number of appoinments per day/week then, the paid features and integrations just make it all that better!

All team abilities are part of the paid features, however I feel this could work better having maybe up to two users for free, provided they are using the same company domain. I say this because many small business will have one person responsible for booking appoinments, or may want to allocate to a PA/VA.

I love the ability to have people schedule meetings or interviews with me at their convenience based on my schedule. It minimizes the back and forth with candidates. When someone scheduled it goes directly to my calendar and even sets up a link and conference line for you!. If need to cancel and reschedule they can do so. Everything auto generates, even the calendar updates. With calendly you can control things. Also, I use HRIS systems which has calendly integrated so whenever I send out an interview invite and someone schedules an interview it pops up on their profile. For anyone who is on a tight budget this really helps with needing to pay someone.

I wish the app features worked a little better than they do. I have the app on my phone but most of the time it takes me into the actual website to do things. I think using the app would be faster.

The interphase and design is simple yet elegant. I am able to customize it with my company's logo, colors, and additional texts. I love the way the timeslots are displayed, as well as the cirlces for the days in the calendar. By adding it to Gmail, it is really easy to keep track of appointments because they get automatically added to my Google calendar. This way I can organize my online meetings with my real-life commitments making sure that I have plenty of availability for each.

I tried thinking about a "con" but I have nothing. It does what it should, and it handles appointments seamlessly! When I hadn't signed up to the paid plan the branding was displayed, which is normal for any free tool that unleashes its full functionality for non-paying users (at least, see the branding, right?).

Freemium model allows for easy and simplified set-up and usage, then once true ROI is experienced the cost of upgrade is well in the 'reasonable' range and for every budget. The ease of use and convenience is top notch

I had to configure everything again when I moved from 1 company to another - which is only an inconvenience not an issue.

I found Calendly really easy to set up and use.

The pricing - I did not really use Calendly enough to justify the recurring monthly payment.

When I had to schedule interviews with over 50 applicants to our startup incubation program for their initial pitching to get admitted to the program, I was confused and did know how to come to a consensus with them. It was annoying and tiring to discuss the time convenient for each of them separately, there were many overlaps. Overall, without Calendly appointment scheduling is a disaster, a lot of work, follow-up, and reminder emails are manually sent. My colleague advised me to use Calendly for our pitching scheduling.

There is nothing, I like Calendly and its functionality.

The platform is very user-friendly and easy to use. It has a wide range of features that can be used to automate the scheduling process.

You additionally can't interface your record to group pages, which makes it troublesome if you have colleagues you need to team up with.

I love how easy it is to send clients options for their meetings. As I work from clients from many countries and time zones it makes it clear and confusion-free ! Before it was hard for me to put clear limits and have clients respect my times, this is the perfect way.

It was hard for me to understand how to overlap if you have two calendars Ex. personal one and profesional one and how to make both fit together. I currently only use it for work.

Love how easy it is for me to us as well as people who need to book a meeting. Immediately sending invites, reminders and adding it to my calendar. With all the settings you can make it just like you want.

Lots of possibilities to upgrade the system. when you use it longer, you want to upgrade it every time and then it's quiet expensive for "scheduling meetings"

Its easy for me to send an appointment link to clients so that they can schedule a time to speak with me. Also I can custimize it with my conoany name so that ot looks professional and authorises that it comes from me only. And, its automated scheduling for daily meetings is just amazing, I don't have to add events eberytime that repeat everyday.

I would love it if they improve mobile user interface as its really difficult for me to send apppintment link with customization. It crashes with my outlook integration, this might be issue with integration api but still need to be resolved.

Calendy is a game changer for scheduling external meetings. I can simply drop my link and ask some one outside my organization to choose an open time!

The setup is limited to 30 min meetings. There is also not an option to add meeting details until after meeting is booked.

Easy access links. Conversion tracking for paid advertisement efforts. I moved away from another platform because they did not have the conversion tracking we were after.

More expensive then most online scheduling platforms. And it's one-dimensional. I will most likely leave the platform once I incorporate a robust CRM platform for my salesforce and customer success.

All our company uses this for our customer calls and we love this and very easy to use. And User friendly... and you can send a single time link so that customers are not rescheduling constantly....

The only thing that I least like is as admin you can't make changes to any user information or any information

Using Calendly is the easiest way of booking appointments with an ability to connect with other applications without wasting your time and increasing the productivity.

Setting up the software is very time taking at initial stage.

I love how its made it incredibly easy for people to set up calls or meetings with me. What used to take half a dozen emails going back and forth now takes one simple click. People click on my calendly link, pick a time and everyone involved gets a calendar invite. I love how simple it is and how it beautifully it works for everyone. It even integrates with both Zoom and Outlook (although Zoom requires a paid subscription). So that means I can set it up to send out Zoom invites automatically. I honestly dont know what I would do without it.

Honestly cant think of much to dislike. The only thing that comes to mind is that sometimes the app that is supposed to sync my outlook calendar with my Calendly will crash for no reason. But its not frequent enough for me to consider it an issue.

Calendly is a tool that allows me to automate all my appointments in a very easy way, through it I can schedule meetings of the company without major inconveniences. The centralized management and shared interim calendar of employees save a lot of time and of course money. The system allows us to have a history of the activities, since the system keeps them and in this way we can be aware if the tasks that we have assigned to our work staff have been fully utilized.

I really think that this platform is perfectly constituted and if it has any unfavorable aspect I think it is very difficult to achieve.  

the application is easy to use, and in addition we can already find and act on our scheduled events. we can also send the report link to their guest

the application encounters some bugs sometimes, it closes immediately when we click on "Sign in" to connect to our account.

It's easy to use. It's simple and clean, but you can choose the color of the appointment dot.

Customer Service is zero. I've tried reaching out and all you can do is ask a question and it takes you to a forum. There is no phone number or email. The biggest issue I have with them (and why I needed customer service) is that customers cannot make multiple appointments at once. They have to go in there one at a time, hit the back button, and go in again. This results in a separate email for each...
