What do users say about Calira?

Users say Clustermarket streamlines equipment booking and lab management, making it easy to reserve, schedule, and organize shared resources. They find the system user-friendly, quick to set up, and helpful for both administrators and end users, with responsive customer support and useful reporting features. They appreciate being able to manage equipment, track usage, and set permissions for bookings. Some mention the ability to integrate bookings with work calendars and the convenience of booking multiple slots.

Reviewers report difficulties with mobile compatibility, noting the lack of a dedicated app and challenges using the website on smartphones. They find editing bookings after confirmation and customizing user groups or permissions can be cumbersome. Some say scheduling recurring reservations and managing double bookings are not straightforward, and wish for more intuitive mobile and calendar features.
