Calendly is a scheduling tool that simplifies the process of setting up appointments and meetings. Users find that Calendly makes booking appointments much easier and reduces the back-and-forth communication. With its simple and clean interface, Calendly solves the problem of scheduling consultations by providing a hassle-free experience for both users and clients. It frees up time for sales and marketing reps to focus on important tasks, automates marketing processes, and accomplishes tasks with just one click. Users appreciate that Calendly can be easily synced with Google calendar, automatically updating their schedule. This allows them to set up meetings passively and schedule times that are convenient for contacts.

Calendly is used in various scenarios, such as onboarding meetings with new customers, one-off trainings with current customers, scheduling interviews, matching applicant schedules with interviewers, and booking sales calls. It is also utilized by businesses for client calls and meeting requests. The ability to integrate with Google calendar, send reminders automatically, and customize each client session makes Calendly a preferred choice among freelance consultants. Nonprofit organizations benefit from Calendly as it reduces the need for sending back-and-forth emails when scheduling meetings. Additionally, individuals rely on Calendly to book lunch or coffee meetings effortlessly without multiple emails to find a mutually available time slot.

Calendly is widely used by Customer Experience and User Experience teams for coordinating interviews and user testing, eliminating the outdated method of manually suggesting available times. Employees across departments use Calendly to organize meeting dates, prevent overlapping in schedules, receive calendar reminders, and invite external participants from outsourced companies. Moreover, recruiters leverage Calendly to streamline the interview scheduling process for candidates. The integration with video conferencing tools like Zoom and Webex has received positive feedback from prospects and clients.

While some users have found challenges in integrating Calendly with Microsoft Office or Outlook, overall it is considered a helpful product. The free version is recommended for basic needs, and the premium features cater to those requiring advanced functionalities. Calendly's efficiency in automating scheduling, reducing backend work for appointment setters, and streamlining webinar and consulting session scheduling has made it a go-to tool for many organizations. Its ability to seamlessly set up meetings and eliminate extensive booking conversations, especially for global clients, has been highly appreciated by users.

User-Friendly Interface: Calendly is praised for its user-friendly and intuitive interface. Users appreciate the clean and simple design, making it easy to navigate and customize. The visual interface for clients is described as clutter-free and straightforward, allowing them to see available days and times without any confusion.

Customization Options: Calendly offers a wide range of customization options that users find valuable. They can easily set up appointment lengths, names, criteria, and mandatory questions according to their preferences. This allows users to gather relevant information for sales calls and streamline the scheduling process.

Integration with Google Calendar: Calendly's integration with Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCal is highly valued by users. It provides real-time updates, avoids scheduling conflicts, and seamlessly adds confirmed appointments to users' calendars.

Limited customization options: Users mentioned frustration with the lack of customization and branding options in Calendly. Some users expressed the desire to upload brand logos, assets, and use brand color codes in their profile settings.

Inability to sync with multiple calendars: The inability of Calendly to sync with more than one calendar at a time was mentioned as inconvenient for users who keep different calendars or use different calendar platforms.

Lack of flexibility in scheduling: Users found the hourly and half-hourly session-based scheduling limitation problematic, as they desired the ability to schedule in 15-minute increments even with existing bookings in adjacent time slots.

Users highly recommend Calendly for its effectiveness in scheduling meetings and its suitability for their company needs. They greatly appreciate the value they receive for the cost paid. Additionally, they advise considering alternative solutions if reminders or requesting specific information during a demo booking are necessary. These user recommendations provide valuable insights into the strengths and limitations of Calendly as a scheduling tool, making it an excellent option for simplifying meeting scheduling and meeting basic requirements.

  • Once I program my schedule into the app, it pretty much works on its own, and it's so nice to have everything automated. It probably saves me hours every week that I'd have to connect with emails.
  • It makes it simple for people to sign up because it's a one-time link, not some whole process they have to go through. This allows your customers not to get frustrated, and frustrated customers will sometimes go away if things feel like too much time.
  • In the last five years of using this app, I've never heard someone complain that they couldn't sign up.

  • I'd venture to say that it's given me at least 30% of every workday (if not more) back to me. Instead of having to send invites manually, email back and forth with people to figure out schedules and confirm dates, etc...it's just done. WITHOUT my intervention. I share a link to my Calendly, and I'm done — less than 60 seconds of my time each time.
  • I also think it reflects positively on me: if coordinating with someone is hard to do, you are left with the impression that they're hard to work with. So, if I'm easy to coordinate with, I think the impression Calendly leaves is that Joe Natoli is just as easy to work with.

  • Calendly has saved us so much time. We no longer need to go back and forth with students over multiple emails to find one time to meet, we don't have to do that again when they inevitably need to reschedule, and with the addition of workflows we no longer have to manually send reminder or follow-up emails ourselves.

  • Over 300% as of last year. We had done a case study which was phenomenal because even I didn't know the numbers were that huge until we finally put pen to paper.
  • Time!! I'm in the money business and you know Time is Money if you're in the same industry.
  • Affordability. It doesn't break the bank for anyone - having an affordable product along with it being user friendly is a no brainer.
