Reviews of Calendly
Established solution for appointment scheduling
Pros:
- Many options to configure the appointment scheduling - Easy to integrate with other software
Cons:
- Relatively pricey compared to other competitors in the same space
Alternatives Considered:
Perfect for Start-ups
Comments: Calendly was perfect when I started my business, offering everything on the free version I needed. As my company grew, we stayed with Calendly.
Pros:
I love that Calendly offers a free option that allowed me to get traction with my startup and as my company grew I stayed with them.
Cons:
You can only have one "Event Type" at a time on the free version, and last minute scheduling can be a little clunky. However, the paid options are affordable.
ONLY USE THIS AP IF YOU ARE A PROGRAMER OR COMPUTER GENUOUS!
Comments: It was great, but I lost my login username and password when my computer crashed. Every attempt to obtain this information REQUIRES ME TO OPEN AND PAY FOR A NEW ACCOUNT WITHOUT CREDIT FOR THE FULL-YEAR SUBSCRIPTION I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR.
Pros:
When you get it working properly, it is a powerful planning tool I have used for many years.
Cons:
IF you have any issues, you will spend hours (days) reading unhelpful articles in the FAQs or responding to emails generated by AI ONLY.
Calendly: Stands out from the rest.
Comments: Setup automated reminders, follow-ups and agenda templates to keep meetings on track and focused. Calendly encourages our teams to utilize features like meeting recordings and transcriptions for better documentation and accountability.
Pros:
Time being the most valuable resource, Calendly automates work processes and achieves results with minimal investment of money, effort and human resources. Another best practice is to customize the platform to match our team's specific needs.
Cons:
Setup requires assistance from a professional. It is a long process which makes it look a little cumbersome.
Alternatives Considered:
Scheduling made easy
Pros:
The ease of use. The customer care also respond in time.
Cons:
It is working well with me, it does not have issues
