Likelihood to Recommend Doodle is great when you need to coordinate dates among a group and don't want to send a bunch of group emails or texts. It allows a number of dates to be proposed and the group can easily see those dates that are most preferred. If you need to do something more complex than that it may not be your tool.
Read full review It is good for office use for keeping track of meetings and various important events. It is very nice to share a calendar with the whole team and the whole team has access to it, everyone can modify and update events. Furthermore, it is less appropriate when you use it on mobile, and it also cannot record the meetings.
Read full review Pros Doodle allows you to view multiple meeting times simultaneously. I may never have 100% of my team available, but I can see that I have three other options with 90% availability. Doodle is a free resource that doesn't require users to create an account or exist in a network. I simply send the link and see the responses. Doodle notifies you as people respond, making the scheduling process quick and easy. Also, you can confirm a time through the software! Read full review I can see that Zoho Calendar allows for multiple tab use which seemed to be a rare and useful function to have. I like how the search function is advanced and you can put specific info to find what you require. I like the visual freedom the app gives in terms of the day, month, and workdays, 2-month views, and selecting colours as well, etc. Read full review Cons I wish that it offered more options in backgrounds, characters and props without having an additional cost, but that is to be expected. I would like an easier way to add my own fonts, characters , props etc, because I am a new learner this may not be an issue as I get more familiar with the software. I don't like all the sales emails I received trying to upgrade or add to my purchase. Edie Ingram Manager of Training and Organizational Development

Read full review Support Rating Doodle has customer service support available as needed, but honestly, it is so easy to use that I have rarely had to seek support. They are always a click away and responsive to resolving any need or to clarify the next best step to using Doodle to meet my needs.
Read full review Alternatives Considered For the same reasons noted previously, Doodle allows for the organizer to ultimately select/accept the time that works for them. Many competitors only allow you to show available times and the appointment goes directly into the organizer's calendar. I typically prefer to have a bit more control over that. Also, visually Doodle is more intuitive in how you schedule appointments than
Calendly . I think
Calendly tries to get a bit too cute with their interface instead of sticking to a more standard, familiar calendar interface when setting an appointment.
Read full review Zoho calendar allows us to schedule, manage and track your appointment, meetings, birthdays, and other important dates. And also collaborate, share and publish your daily activities. Zoho Calendar also provides you to make it more creative by changing the themes. Event reminders are also available on Zoho Calendar, so we can be reminded either via email or through a pop-up about appointments, dates, milestones, and events. Reminders can pop up as early as 30 days before an event.
Read full review Return on Investment Improved efficiency by avoiding the slow and inefficient process of emailing back and forth to set meeting dates and times. Allows for more informed decisions regarding meetings or making decisions, as all options can be laid out visually in a way that isn't possible in an email. Read full review Once the meeting is created on the Zoho calendar, you don't need to remind invitees to join the meeting at a particular time or day. Zoho calendar does that for you. If any invitees are unable to join the meeting, they can ask for a different time prior to that meeting. Sometimes if many meetings are in the pipeline then there can be overlap.
