iCal

Ical seems very well suited for managing personal calendar, bit not necessarily for more complex professional situations where integration with video conferencing may be necessary, or the need to manage multiple calendars in various time some globally

I have used just about every calendar there is, and this one is for me the best. I use the device shared calendars extensively to get instant updates on my team's scheduled activities and also keep track of meetings for the day, week and month. It also allows me to color code in order to set priorities for them.

For users familiar with Mac or the iOS family, it will be a great tool since we will be able to create events on any device and have alerts on all of them where our account is configured. It also allows you to link other calendars and see everything on one platform.

Especially if they use apple devices, I would recommend this over other cloud based calendars for its tight integration with apple devices. You can generally add events by simply highlighting the relevant information and adding to the calendar. Or Apple mail will often automatically detect an event and give to the option to add it to your iCal with a single click of a button.

In my experience, Ical is very useful in organizing various calendar sources into one place, as well as real-time synchronization in the cloud. It is easy to integrate links, and media sources, as well as add attendees and make edits. A good example of a scenario is inviting everyone in various time zones to a meeting, and many attendees have their iCloud accounts, but some don’t. Everyone is able to be added to the meeting, showing in their correct time zone and seeing the necessary event details, as well as any virtual meeting, and invite details.

Syncing professional and personal calendars is extremely user friendly. I like being able to sync all of my calendars across all of my devices. I like being able to view and schedule new events with my professional, personal, and family calendars in one easily viewed application. It eliminates stress, frustration, and overall annoyance of having to schedule, reschedule or cancel events.

If your company or organization uses Apple products, which most do, the iCalendar is a great tool! It helps keep my day organized in a clean view that is easy to navigate and use. The appointment reminder helps notify me of upcoming events to keep me on track and on time.

I think Apple iCloud Calendar (iCal) is best suited for groups that need to be able to easily manage schedules and quick changes. The ability to make changes from the mobile app is huge with stakeholders being immediately notified without the user having to do any extra work. It may be less well suited for teams that heavily rely on other internal calendar systems (outlook or google) because some of the capabilities will be duplicative.

Apple iCloud Calendar (iCal) has been helpful with setting team meetings and managing calendars across devices. The search function is accurate and useful, even for events or meetings that took place years ago. The notifications are helpful, timely, intuitive, customizable, and for me, strikes the right balance of getting your attention, without being distracting or annoying. It is less helpful when collaborating with external uses who prefer different calendar apps (Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook or Teams, et cetera). Sometimes, I notice lag time when I create a meeting on my mobile device and having it show up on my laptop, but it's not too bad.

I’ve been able to see at a glance what I have to do on any given day. I also have the ability to share with friends and colleagues things that may be on the internet to them that I have signed up for as far as workshops and professional learning times.

The iCal is a good calendar software for someone who owns Apple devices and is just looking for something basic to get started. It's an easy way to stay organized and on top of your schedule online, having it all updated across decides. You can add invites from colleagues and keep different calendars all in one place - it has all the basic features. However, if you're looking for a calendar with more complete features, that will allow you to integrate with third-party software, I'd look for an alternative. If I could describe iCal with one word would be convenient, but it's certainly not my go-to calendar management software.
