    I'd land at 8.5/10 overall, please, or a B/B+. Based on the prior question where I can spot 4/four potentialities for ongoing improvement, yet I came up with more 'you're doing this well/very well', the grade/ranking is earned. It's great in situations were: An organization is creating/promoting MANY events, like we do. There are VARIOUS/VARIED types of events, esp cadence. Not everyone is using (thanktully) the exact same calendaring apps/sites ( a mix, of O365 and G-Workspace, et al. )

    It's well suited for music students' lessons. It's well suited for online coaching, primarily through places like Zoom and more. It helps simplify things for your clients, lets you program your schedule, and allows it all to go automatically! If you are working with a senior population, it may be a little tricky for them to sign up and then really hard for them to cancel lessons. There isn't a way to go to the site and cancel. You have to pull up the confirmed email and cancel from there, but people can lose emails.

    Calendly
    • Sync with multiple calendar types so my schedule is always current.
    • Integration with Zoom to schedule meetings, send invites, and populate my Zoom app accordingly.
    • Automatic email communication to all parties with all relevant details in a clear format.
    • Allowing team members to do the same in a way that I'm also notified of what meetings are taking place saves a lot of time in terms of coordinating to find out what other people are doing.
    • Well-designed interface that simplifies everything down to its clearest expression. Language instruction and interaction are wonderfully simple and clear.

    Calendly
    • After a meeting is booked, having the ability to change the location without canceling the entire booking.
    • Being able to offer 2 different locked in locations for certain time periods of the day within the same event. So you're not having to create 2 events for the same thing, only different locations.
    • Giving users permission to create their own routing forms. We run an independent business model where our users like to have control over their subscriptions.

    For all reasons like workflows, UI, and the way Calendly keeps all of us engaged through the Collective forum. It's indeed undeniable that no other product covers all business needs like Calendly does. On the other side, this has also reduced the workload by enabling us to focus more on other tasks for the day

    Usability
    AddEvent
    "The next logical step" was easy to understand. Everything was simple and straightforward. I appreciate how there wasn't a bunch of extra capabilities -- the ux was very focused on the main problem it was solving. I signed up and created the first event in minutes without reading any help docs or needing any extra training.

    Calendly is extremely easy to use for selecting times and days for meetings. From my end, it's very easy to indicate the days and times that I am available for meetings. I have used other scheduling products, but Calendly has the smoothest way of operating. I highly recommend it for scheduling meetings

    There is a lot of support for Calendly. Whenever I have had issues navigating through it, especially as a new user, I found multiple support on the web addressing my questions or concerns. There is a lot of in app informative notes accessible to users to navigate through Calendly when needed.

    The only two/2 which I can point to autentically are the two primarily calendaring options ( GWorkspace/Calendar; O365/MS Calendar ). We were ever so briefly -- less than a 1/2 mos -- considering some research in mid 2024 on add't alternatives, yet that open discussion didn't take hold. AddEvent was already the default for ~1y (if not a bit longer) by then, so it had to be knocked aside by something quite good, and we never got to the deeper analysis part.

    When I started using it, there were not many competitors in this space. I've seen some like Mixmax that seem to work well for solopreneurs or where free version might be better than Calendly's free version. I use the paid version of Calendly and it's just kept serving us well so why change?

    • Positive: When people want to meet, I can simply send my Calendly link and it takes less than 5 seconds to do.
    • Positive: It integrates well with Zoom, which means that by default all my appointments include Zoom information for a remote call.
