Likelihood to Recommend 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 RealZips GeoData Platform is well-suited for Saleforce users and administrators who need to send targeted emails and snail mails and segment reports by a certain geographic area and are frustrated with
Salesforce 's built-in process for this, which is mostly non-existent. Other marketing platforms may handle this scenario better, but for
Salesforce , RealZips is the best option
Read full review Pros 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 The main strength of RealZips GeoData Platform is the ability to query the "Metropolitan Area" field they provide, which is based on the contact's zip code. For example, if you are looking to promote an event to all contacts in the New York City area, this field will automatically show contacts living within several miles of NYC, not just those living in NYC itself. RealZips GeoData Platform automatically provides a zip code for contacts who may have that part of their address missing from their contact page. This helps keep the address data clean. RealZips GeoData Platform will help you sort your prospects or leads into geographic areas, helping you schedule in-person meetings while on the road. RealZips GeoData Platform provides a generous non-profit discount. RealZips GeoData Platform only requires the contact to have a zip code to work. The contact does not need a full address. Read full review Cons 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 RealZips GeoData Platform may be difficult to learn at first, as their reporting tie-in fields need a certain syntax. But once you figure it out, it becomes clearer for future uses. Otherwise, the product functions as intended. 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 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 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 RealZips GeoData Platform integrates very well with
Salesforce.com and works seamlessly alongside other apps, such as the Nonprofit Success Pack and
Causeview , which transform Saleforce's data into a non-profit focused layout. Any changes in
Salesforce 's data structure do not seem to impact RealZips effectiveness. Furthermore, it works well as a data-cleaning tool, which increases the potency of all other apps.

Positive: It integrates well with Zoom, which means that by default all my appointments include Zoom information for a remote call.
