Apple iCloud Calendar (iCal) is more user friendly for me and for the other employees that I have because we are usually Mac based so being able to use something that coordinates with all of our devices is a major game changer in our industry.

I use Apple iCloud Calendar (iCal) over Google Calendar because I'm a full Apple user. I use Apple iCloud Calendar (iCal) over Calendly because my clients are not booking their meetings with me. I'm setting the meetings up.

As a native app for Apple devices, it is great - but I think that Google Workspace (and Calendar) is better, especially as the Meet default for a video call is built in. I have and do use Office 365 - and with Teams you can schedule a video or Teams call too, but I don't like …

The Apple iCloud Calendar (iCal) desktop app is useful as far as convenience goes on a Mac, versus the Outlook website, however it doesn't work as well as Outlook. In my experience, Outlook is more trustworthy and doesn't duplicate and hide events nearly as often (if at all) …

Google Calendar is a superior product with complete integration with email and video conferencing tools. Overall more suitable for a heavy professional use.

The both work just great. Still, having a iOS device based company, iCal has been of great ease of use throughout. Also, the interphase with the user is a bit more comfortable to us.

I consider iCal a very basic software when compared to the Google Calendar. The Google Calendar offers more advanced features and is easy to integrate with other software, I've found. Its layout is more up-to-date and it seems to make things easier. I find it's also best when …

Especially if they use apple devices, I would recommend this over other cloud based calendars for its tight integration with apple devices. You can generally add events by simply highlighting the relevant information and adding to the calendar. Or Apple mail will often automatically detect an event and give to the option to add it to your iCal with a single click of a button.

I would love it to have more visualizations and not just the classic one in a common calendar and that it could be customized
You have the possibility to have a face-to-face call by sharing a link that, in my opinion, could be improved by creating groups of only contacts and limiting access to the meeting.

I am sure there is something that could be improved - if I had any suggestion it would be that users are able to integrate their calendar with others that do not have an iPhone to be able to make it more usable to everyone.

For our Mac and IOS users, the use of the native iOS calendar and the cloud associated with it was an obvious choice for us, especially with the distribution of Apple products to our teams out in the field. For android users, it is easy to access the same services using the web-based client, and iCal allows various account types to be added to calendar invites. The iCal application allows the addition of 3rd party email and calendar accounts allow to be seamlessly integrated. All of the calendar accounts can be overlayed along with the native iCloud accounts. Google Calendar by comparison struggled to do all of these things as well, preferring their google Meet as the conference software and preferring Gmail accounts over all other types.

Apple iCloud Calendar (iCal) has caused me frustration because it will often show duplicate events that aren't duplicated in my Microsoft Exchange/Outlook calendar.
Apple iCloud Calendar (iCal) has caused my headaches and wasted my time by causing me to have to manually re-sync my Apple iCloud Calendar (iCal) calendar with my Microsoft Exchange/Outlook calendar. Apple iCloud Calendar (iCal) offers no easy way to do this automatically.
