    Calendly
    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.

    Claritysoft is well suited if you need more of an address book as your CRM. Situations where sales are more passive and based on increasing awareness instead of hard, closing sales. In my previous role selling medical equipment, this would NOT work. However, in my current role where awareness is the key factor that drive smaller sales amounts, it does it's job. I've just been in a lot more roles where I need to upload contracts with signatures and track sales Opportunities, and Claritysoft doesn't seem able to do that.

    Pros
    Calendly
    • 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.

    • Claritysoft provides great software for keeping track of all the activities you've completed for a customer or lead.
    • Claritysoft also has a great setup with creating new activities that need to be completed in the future so you do not forget.
    • Claritysoft also has a very good support team. When we have questions or problems, Claritysoft is very prompt to address them.

    Cons
    Calendly
    • 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.

    • There is no spell-check function to use when you are sending emails.
    • Some of the functions you need when deleting records and the like are not always available on every page when you are working in the application.
    • When moving quotes to opportunities, the attachments go with the move so when you go back to the quote, it is not there. Also, when you move a quote it does not automatically fill in the quote number as it was on the quote, it creates a new number. This should be fixed.
    • When you convert a lead it does not move the lead to archives or get rid of it. It leaves it in the Leads area and so you have to manually get rid of it.
    • There is no auto-dial feature built into Claritysoft.
    • The mobile app needs to look and feel just like the online version.

    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

    Usability
    Calendly
    Calendly is extremely easy to use for selecting times and days for meetings. From my end, it's very easy to indicate the days and times that I am available for meetings. I have used other scheduling products, but Calendly has the smoothest way of operating. I highly recommend it for scheduling meetings

    It is VERY, VERY, simple and easy to use and learn. All I needed was a super brief 30 minute overview to understand how to use it, and their Customer Support is pretty good. I was raised on Salesforce, which is much more complicated, but allows you to do so much more.

    There is a lot of support for Calendly. Whenever I have had issues navigating through it, especially as a new user, I found multiple support on the web addressing my questions or concerns. There is a lot of in app informative notes accessible to users to navigate through Calendly when needed.

    They are very helpful and quick whenever I have a question about Claritysoft CRM. I think the guy I've spoken with is named Evan, and he's been very helpful. Claritysoft, give the man a raise if you know who I'm talking about. He responds super quick with truly helpful insights.

    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?

    Claritysoft's emails are much easier to use since Salesforce is in the middle of switching from Classic to Lightning. Also, Salesforce does not have a native group edit option. Claritysoft is much more data driven and you can use all functions of Excel to customize reports. However, Claritysoft does not have as many third-party add-on options compared to Salesforce's app exchange.

    Return on Investment
    Calendly
    • 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.

    • It has made it easier to see our overall sales for each sales rep.
    • The only negative is that we cannot change over the account, contacts, leads, and opportunities with one ownership field. You have to do each one separate and when you are transferring 1000 clients this takes much too long to do. No reason for it.
