Google Calendar are a great tool for organizing professional events and meetings with multiple individuals, based on their available time slots. Its direct integration with Google Meet enables the user to easily navigate to the meeting link. The UI is also very user friendly and with minimal clutter which makes the UI very intuitive for the user.

Google Calendar is well suited for scheduling 1:1 and smaller group meetings and recurring meetings. It's also well suited to connect with scheduling software. However, there is still a lot of opportunity for improvement when you want to make a very well-organized calendar (for example, limitations with the meeting tagging & categories). It's also not as well suited for helping with scheduling for bigger groups.

Google Calendar is great for remote working environments. If you want to schedule a meeting with someone internally, you can see openings on their calendar, so you don't double-book them. You can also block off time that you don't want people to book, and also make it clear when you are out of the office.

Google calendar is best suited for professional use, because right from my start, since i joined the company, the whole process of recruiting, joining and working for the company involved the use of google calendar. I was contacted via Gmail, and an meeting was set on a particular date using google calendar, which notified on that particular day, and i joined the meeting through a link in calendar events. Since that day i have been using Google calendar in a professional way, meeting clients, team mates, managers and co-workers by checking their slots and blocking it to let them know. So, i think Google calendar is good for professional use where the number of people are more, and time management is necessary.

For a reminder app, it's perfect. It's what we utilize to schedule appointments with our customers. It's a way for us to share information about an event with our employees. Appointments may be added quickly and easily. Reminders sent to us via apps and websites are accurate and exactly what we expected them to be. I don't like how cumbersome it is to add files using the iOS app.

Google Calendar is definitely a great collaboration tool in cases where you have scheduled meetings with many people and do not want to spend hours asking for their availability. With Google Calendar you basically just have to select a spot when everybody can join. I would say Google Calendar is very appropriate when most people you invite to meetings use Google software as well. However, If most of the people you collaborate with use Microsoft 365 then Google Calendar is much less appropriate since it does not interoperate seamlessly with Microsoft tools (Outlook, Teams, etc.)

First of all, it is important to note that the app is free. This should be taken into account when comparing with other applications. It can be very useful if you use it with Google applications, but if you try to use it alone, it may not meet your expectations.

It is great for a reminder app. We use it to book appointments with our clients. We use it to communicate information within an event with people in our company. Quick and easy appointments to add. App and website notifications to remind us are accurate and just as programmed. I’m not a fan of how difficult it is to add files through the IOS app.

Google Calendar is well-suited for helping a team get 'on the same page' for scheduling and time management. It has been very helpful for our small staff team to see each person's week and to see the broader church calendar with all the events listed. We don't take advantage of the invite/schedule feature often enough, but that has also been a great way to make sure scheduled meetings happen on multiple calendars.

Great for individuals and organisations of all sizes. We use it to create events and meetings with Google Meet.
We constantly have the Google calendar open throughout the day to see what is coming up.
Notifications are very helpful to remind on all devices.
We use it to see all our work and personal events and shared between colleagues so everyone is on the same page.

Google calendar is well suited for working environments (especially those that operate virtually or hybrid) or scheduling meetings with other teammates/organizations that you're a part of. For some, it works to schedule daily tasks and personal activities as well, but I personally find that it is not as helpful/appropriate for these cases.

Google Calendar is really well suited for nearly any company, of any size. It is simple to use - let's be honest, most people already have some amount of familiarity with Google's suite of product from their personal life even if they have not used them in a professional setting before. However, as with anything Google related, there's always room for improvement. One example I've come across in my use is that it is tough to see the history of a particular meeting invite.

For small businesses or personal use, it works out well. The whole idea of a free platform on a free service is very alluring, especially if you don't have high end or high tech services for such a program already. Calendar would work in most business, school, and personal situations to keep track of where you're headed.

Google Calendar is great for teams working remotely. It is also well suited for people who are managing different types of work or multiple jobs. It is possible to keep a family/personal account simultaneously with a professional account/calendar. The different calendars are color-coded (according to your choice). It may be less appropriate for people in a mostly Microsoft ecosystem.

Google Calendar is the only calendar I will use. I'm a small business owner with a team that's entirely virtual, and we can all easily access and manage appointments. I love that I can keep my business schedule and personal calendar all in one place, but I can keep my personal appointments private from my team.

Google Calendar is suitable for any business or individual that needs to remember appointments, hold meetings with other people, etc. There is not a scenario that I could imagine, where it wouldn't be beneficial. Everyone should use Google Calendar to organise their work/life.

Google Calendar is a very reliable calendar application for people for personal use and use in business environment. It has clean look, is easy to use and I found it to be better than Outlook calendar with easier to understand interface and some more features. I also like the option to view the and make changes in the calendar online.

Great for personal and professional use. You can easily organize your calendars by category and view accordingly. I appreciate that my coworkers and I can jump on any meeting at any time since the meeting links have no time limit. Putting on a meeting is quick, easy, and self explanatory.

Google Calendar is great when you work with a smaller group of people and want to view your direct colleagues calendars. You always have the option of hiding calendars if that persons schedule is not necessary to view for a moment. This organization tool makes scheduling meeting easy and works well when you have a range of clients. This is probably a less useful application if you work in a very large company because there would be too many calendars to add.

Besides all its sophisticated meeting organizers, we know Google has a lot of online tools and for a person like me, using integrated services is a great experience. And most of the online event managers support Google Calendar. So if we want to join an online seminar or even an offline meet-up, we can add it right into our calendar through our Google mail. It makes life easier.
