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.

It's very easy to schedule events where we can set the agenda in advance and add events as tasks so that we can track the progress. It can be integrated with products like tidycal to check booking time, messaging software like MS Teams, Slack and video call software like Zoom for a seamless experience.

Cons
Apple
  • 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.

Alternatives Considered
Apple
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.

Since Vivaldi has a calendar built-in in the browser only so it is very efficient to add new events and edit already scheduled events, We can manage multiple calendars as per our needs without added complexity because it has a user-friendly user interface, events can be defined as tasks so that we can track progress on the projects.
