Likelihood to Recommend While most of my Aladtec experience is with public safety agencies, I cannot imagine an industry or service that would not benefit from an Aladtec system. Affordable, reliable, efficient and user-friendly - Aladtec offers a product that most companies simply can only dream about.
Read full review 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.
Read full review Pros Aladtec allows easy access to forms, change orders and schedules from any device. Aladtec offers the ability to see the schedule a month at a glance, by the week or day, with full detail of who is on the schedule; giving a bird's eye view of the openings and then able to see specifically who is on each daily schedule. Aladtec offers the opportunity to put its recurring schedules and monthly choices and changes. It has several scheduling options that increase flexibility for employees. Read full review 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. Read full review Cons The only item we would like to see is an online training module for our EMS staff. Being able to upload training items and quizzes for our staff to do under their user accounts would be a huge asset for our department and others. Similar to the Moodle training software. No other issues to note. Read full review 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. Read full review Likelihood to Renew 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
Read full review Usability I gave Calendly an 8 because overall I think it is very much user friendly even for someone who has never used anything similar. The only issue I have had with usability is what I already stated about how the settings are in sub categories making some things difficult to find at first.
Read full review Support Rating Aladtec has given the support needed, especially in learning the new system and bringing it up to speed for the entire workforce. There is a need to reach out to them when everything freezes, which is rare. This system has been fairly smooth after it had been in use for at least 6 months.
Read full review I only reached out to Support once but they were very prompt and easy to work with. I had some questions about setting up the follow-up emails for after people would do the interview. They were very helpful and gave assistance and we solved the issue very fast. I would definitely recommend.
Read full review Alternatives Considered The software as a service model is prefered over native software, which is one reason why we decided on Aladtec.
Read full review 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?
Read full review Return on Investment In the first 12 months of use we saved nearly 13x our investment in overtime alone. The following year we realized an average of 46 hours per week of time saved in workforce management. We have seen no negative impacts from the use of Aladtec. Our only regret is not having it earlier. Read full review 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. Read full review ScreenShots
