    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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).
