Zoho Calendar is an online business calendar designed to make scheduling easy. It can be used to stay on top of a schedule, or to share scheduled events with peers.
I think it is well suited for what we use it for and it has helped establish our organization as a leader in the industry because we help other businesses promote their events as well as let potential attendees know what is going on in the industry. I'm not sure how it's not appropriate? It's a pretty unique tool that's unlike anything else we looked at
It is good for office use for keeping track of meetings and various important events. It is very nice to share a calendar with the whole team and the whole team has access to it, everyone can modify and update events. Furthermore, it is less appropriate when you use it on mobile, and it also cannot record the meetings.
I subscribe to Zoho One so I use many of the modules that come with that single subscription. I've had intermittent issues with scheduled Zoho Meetings through Zoho CRM not appearing in my Zoho Calendar. Zoho has been working on the issue but it will be fixed for a while and then I'll miss a meeting because it wasn't appearing.
A solid B, with potential to hop into a B/B+ Why ... 1) the learning curve could be improved with less IT/techno-speak yet we DID have our FTE VA grasp things fairly quickly overall, so awareness to this is key for any organization. 2) The need to involve outside IT support ( aka frac CIO/CTO ) could be a sign of building more ties with other software/SaaS type providers rather than depending on people to be programming specialists and/or needing to use 3rd party tools like Make/Zapier.
Since there are lots of preference options, it can be a little confusing when setting up. It does integrate with other calendars where you can choose one or two way syncing which is helpful if you keep separate personal and work calendars. You can set your start day of the week which for me I have it set to Monday. There are also time zone options which are great but still a bit confusing to me.
Support has been excellent. As always, they are quickly responsive, and I feel they genuinely wish to address and fix any issues. It's unfortunate that my issues with meetings created in Zoho CRM don't always appear in my Zoho Calendar. While they mostly appear, my confidence level on any given week that I can see what is on my schedule is decidedly lacking.
I forgot what else we looked at but we the features we liked best about AddEvent was that we could add pictures, flyers, and send RSVP's directly to the event organizers
Zoho calendar allows us to schedule, manage and track your appointment, meetings, birthdays, and other important dates. And also collaborate, share and publish your daily activities. Zoho Calendar also provides you to make it more creative by changing the themes. Event reminders are also available on Zoho Calendar, so we can be reminded either via email or through a pop-up about appointments, dates, milestones, and events. Reminders can pop up as early as 30 days before an event.
Once the meeting is created on the Zoho calendar, you don't need to remind invitees to join the meeting at a particular time or day. Zoho calendar does that for you.
If any invitees are unable to join the meeting, they can ask for a different time prior to that meeting.
Sometimes if many meetings are in the pipeline then there can be overlap.
