User Testimonials
	Calendar	CoSchedule Marketing Suite
Likelihood to Recommend	Calendar has a lot of useful functions crammed into its simple UI. It works flawlessly with Gmail's calendar, and I appreciate how easy it is to keep track of all of my booked appointments. I strongly advise this to anyone who are having trouble finding open hours in their busy work schedulesand to everyone who wants to be more productive in general. The analytics are the finest part. I've never seen a calendar software that can show me who I spend the most time with before. It appears that they are more concerned with time management and efficiency than with day planning!" Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	CoSchedule does more than just content planning, it helps you organize your content, betters your content with headline analyzers, and allows you to organize your work and marketing calendars as well. If your organization is in a spot where you need a well-rounded tool to help with content, marketing, or even task organization, CoSchedule might be the right fit. Incentivized Ben Caplan Risk Manager, and Insurance Agent Read full review
Pros	Makes Scheduling Easy and Better Keeps Calendars organized in one place Analytics of how much time we have spent on it Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Best time to post is great at updating to when we get the most engagement by platform Requeue tool to slate out additional posts for a given piece of content is a huge time saver Aggregate analytics tool shows us a peek across our posts on a given platform that's actually easier to read than the platform itself Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	The user interface may be made better. Integration with other services might be improved. Occasionally puzzling, but nothing a quick internet search can't sort out. Incentivized Audrey Hallem System Administrator Read full review	The import Google Doc to WordPress functionality never worked successfully or reliably for me. So I just manually copy and paste Google Docs to the WordPress editor instead. The social sharing counter was not that helpful, because it only counted Facebook and Google+. Who uses Google+ anymore? Plus, now they don't even show the social counter in the monthly calendar view. so you can't see the numbers without doing some extra digging. In the monthly calendar view, some titles get cut off if they don't wrap cleanly in the day's box. So I would make it look cleaner instead of having words broken up by a hyphen. Incentivized Brandon Weaver Head of Content Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	The interface is very intuitive, from setting up social profiles, to posting, to tags, to optimizing for best day/time to post. It's super easy to scan the aggregate analytics. The calendar is very easy to grok at a glance, and the more advanced functionality is intuitive to set up. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	I didn't have to use their official support, but I can say that they put out a lot of content online to help users. Their YouTube page has quite an array of tutorial videos explaining how things work and how to get the most out of their tools. If you're struggling, before picking up a phone or blasting off an email, try searching for your problem on YouTube or their forums.
