Likelihood to Recommend	Google I think it's appropriate for everyone that meets with customers, meets with people within their businesses. I even put my personal calendar on my work calendar. I'm just looking at it every day, so I think everyone could use it. Incentivized Rebekah Little Account Executive Read full review
Pros	Google Enables the creation of designated Focus Hours Enables users to set their "working hours" and others can see if they are setting up a meetings a moon symbol next to their name to show it is outside of that invitees working hours Allows you to easily create scheduled tasks directly on your Google Calendar Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Google The booking page is really helpful for external people who want to chat with me, but so few people use it, that it makes it more frustrating. The solution exists but nobody is using it. It needs to be highlighted more You have to switch between email accounts or set up additional calendars to schedule work events vs personal events integrations with other calendars don't update quickly, so sometimes a coworkers vacation doesn't show up in the calendar until much later Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Google The platform itself is pretty user friendly even if you don't have a technical background. You can easily schedule meetings, block out focus time, update your time off, and add meeting notes. The settings are easily mapped out in terms of functionality and if you need help you can easily search for an answer on Google search Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Google Most of the other services we would use don't have the same integration with other Google services that Google Calendar has. The ability to view and set things from your email is very convenient. So is the ability to have your notifications automatically show up on an Android phone as a reminder. Incentivized Matthew Avitabile Publisher Read full review
Return on Investment	Google Very significant improvement in employee productivity (more than 10%), because people spend much less time arranging meetings. Essential tool to develop remote work within the company during Covid. No need to build an email infrastructure (significant cost reduction in IT infrastructure).
