Aaniie Kids vs. Doodle

Although the Aaniie Kids team customized some of the system for our use and continues to do so, the team is very hard to work with. In fact, in an early meeting, the CEO stated, "we listen to our users and innovate every day." My experience has been exactly the opposite. When we provide user feedback, we are told that it can't be accomplished.

Doodle is great when you need to coordinate dates among a group and don't want to send a bunch of group emails or texts. It allows a number of dates to be proposed and the group can easily see those dates that are most preferred. If you need to do something more complex than that it may not be your tool.

• Client prospect auto emails is nice
• Prospect and candidate stage screens are useful

• Doodle allows you to view multiple meeting times simultaneously. I may never have 100% of my team available, but I can see that I have three other options with 90% availability.
• Doodle is a free resource that doesn't require users to create an account or exist in a network. I simply send the link and see the responses.
• Doodle notifies you as people respond, making the scheduling process quick and easy. Also, you can confirm a time through the software!

• The scheduling dashboard is a cluttered mess and not efficient to match a family to a caregiver.
• What is called reports are actually data exports without the ability to filter
• Reports that pull the same data don't have the same numbers so nothing matches making it very challenging to run a business and hold employees accountable to KPI's.
• The user interface of the mobile app is hard to understand and often doesn't permit caregivers to punch in and out of a shift.
• The platform causes our email to be marked as spam.

• I wish that it offered more options in backgrounds, characters and props without having an additional cost, but that is to be expected.
• I would like an easier way to add my own fonts, characters , props etc, because I am a new learner this may not be an issue as I get more familiar with the software.
• I don't like all the sales emails I received trying to upgrade or add to my purchase.

We are using the system, so I cannot give it a 1, but boy is it a challenge to accomplish a task. What took a click or two to accomplish a task in our previous system is now 4-6 clicks and necessary to open multiple tabs.

Very simple journey with the few important questions/fields

Doodle has customer service support available as needed, but honestly, it is so easy to use that I have rarely had to seek support. They are always a click away and responsive to resolving any need or to clarify the next best step to using Doodle to meet my needs.

For the same reasons noted previously, Doodle allows for the organizer to ultimately select/accept the time that works for them. Many competitors only allow you to show available times and the appointment goes directly into the organizer's calendar. I typically prefer to have a bit more control over that. Also, visually Doodle is more intuitive in how you schedule appointments than Calendly. I think Calendly tries to get a bit too cute with their interface instead of sticking to a more standard, familiar calendar interface when setting an appointment.

• Since the rollout we've become less efficient, thus causing the need for additional headcount to accomplish tasks previously handled with technology.
• Our main focus has been drawn away from growing the business and towards purchasing other systems to supplement the missing components that we were told existed within the system, increasing our overall tech expenses.
• Using disparate systems is not only time consuming, but riddled with bad data.

• Improved efficiency by avoiding the slow and inefficient process of emailing back and forth to set meeting dates and times.
• Allows for more informed decisions regarding meetings or making decisions, as all options can be laid out visually in a way that isn't possible in an email.
