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.

It's very easy to schedule events where we can set the agenda in advance and add events as tasks so that we can track the progress. It can be integrated with products like tidycal to check booking time, messaging software like MS Teams, Slack and video call software like Zoom for a seamless experience.

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

Vivaldi Browser is great in terms of usability and customization, if you don't like something the way it is by default, there's a good chance that you can tweak to make it work for you

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.

Since Vivaldi has a calendar built-in in the browser only so it is very efficient to add new events and edit already scheduled events, We can manage multiple calendars as per our needs without added complexity because it has a user-friendly user interface, events can be defined as tasks so that we can track progress on the projects.
