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used by Customer Experience and User Experience teams for coordinating interviews and user testing, eliminating the outdated method of manually suggesting available times.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.

My company has myself, a full time employee and two part time employees. I am the Calendly user and it is no hyperbole to say that I am not sure if I could be in business without it. Like many new business owners, I also have a work from home job. To accomplish my goals as both an excellent employee and a growing business owner, time management is crucial. Calendly allows me to integrate the employer's schedule, and FIVE of my own calendars seamlessly while letting customers of my employer or my own company have de-conflicted access to my schedule. I don't know how anyone that has appointments as a large part of their work could be efficient without Calendly.

I use Calendly personally to allow students and others to easily plan meetings with me. It solves the main problem of having to go back and forth to find a time that works with both parties schedules. Really easy to use for both of us and allows for automatically setting up a Zoom meeting.

Calendly is currently being used by our entire nonprofit organization. It reduces the need to send back and forth emails for scheduling meetings (and boy do we have a lot of meetings!). The platform also saves time for the company by integrating with G Suite and other extensions. Overall, Calendly is very easy to use.

Ever since we have been introduced to Calendly, it has been a game-changer for us. I used to have to go back and forth with prospects and clients on finding a date/time that works best with them and then compare this to my boss's calendar. Sometimes if I would offer a date and the prospect/client took a couple of days to respond back, the date would be unavailable and I would have to start over again. Calendly eliminates this completely as it is integrated with my boss's calendar and the prospect/client can choose from the availability offered on the site. It is used across our whole organization and we will continue to use it.

Many of our team members use Calendly to simplify scheduling and make it easier for people to connect with us. In the past, I found I'd go back and forth many times to book a time... and Calendly has made that much easier! There are some downsides - the biggest issue is that you need to be disciplined about keeping your calendar, which I've found helps me. E.g., now I go through my calendar and time-block spaces so no one can slip in an appointment :)

Everyone in the company used Calendly. We tried a few scheduling tools but Calendly was hands down the best. It was the easiest and most effective. I feel like my number of meetings increased when I was using Calendly. I would recommend this tool to anyone. It is the software I will be using if I own a company in the future.

I use Calendly mostly for sales, but also anytime I need to set up a phone call. If a company wants to talk to me about potentially becoming a client, I send them my link and they just book a call on my calendar. I also use it to set up interviews, calls with clients, and booking requests from our website.

We use Calendly to solve scheduling for consultations. With its simple and clean interface, Calendly makes scheduling an appointment without frustration. It gets straight to the point for what the client came to do: Make an appointment.
Marketing automation for the next steps is the business problem it addresses for us. Instead of taking several steps to accomplish one thing, we are now able to do that in one click.

At UPMC Calendly is being used to schedule physician, directors, supervisor meetings, one on one appointments, and company events being held. Calendly is used outside of my department but used frequently in my role specifically. The issue that the app addresses is planning events, meetings and any other event while knowing the all parties involved schedules. It resolves the issue of creating an event that conflicts with invited members schedules.

I've used Calendly off and on for about 3 years. I most often use it to set up appointments with existing customers for product interviews. These interviews may include other members of my team. It is fairly difficult to try and arrange this manually - lots of back and forth with the customer. Calendly makes that super easy - I create a shared appointment calendar for anyone I want to include, and send the link to my customer. They can then pick any available appointment slots.

We used Calendly for a few different things. One was across the organization for getting the meetings scheduled for our Sales Team, and the other was to schedule interviews for our research project. We needed to collect interviews and make sure that we could send out the information ahead of it with notes.

Calendly is used heavily by our Customer Experience and User Experience teams to coordinate interviews and user testing with our members. Before Calendly, we were using the outdated method of "I have X, Y, Z available. Do any of these times work for you?" The trouble with that is by the time we heard back from our members, X and Z had already been booked and we'd have to start the whole process again.

HUGE bang for the buck! Calendly saves a tremendous amount of time and frustration when scheduling meetings. AND my prospects/clients love using it. I get compliments a lot about how slick it works. The integration with Zoom/Webex is a huge value-add as well, automatic meeting scheduling and rescheduling with a click, what more could you need? Love it!

Calendly is used between employees to help organize meeting dates/times, make sure no meetings in other departments overlap, and to ensure we are reminded about our meetings in our calendars. This helps keep departments more organized and work efficiently to keep all meetings in one place. We can also intertwine department meetings through Calendly, so we can invite anyone/whoever we need to join the meeting, even from outsourced companies.

Our entire company uses Calendly to schedule calls and meetings with candidates and clients. It eliminates the back and forth of attempting to get someone's availability and trying to connect. From the CEO to our junior recruiters, we all use it daily. They are even a client of ours for recruitment.

I use Calendly for almost all of my scheduling needs, whether it be to schedule a time to connect in with a client and address a support issue, or to do a sales demo/discovery call. It really helps me to connect with my clients more quickly and easily.

The international nature of our business involves lots of timezones, as we deal with clients, contractors, and employees all over the world. The use of Calendly thoroughly simplifies our scheduling, whether for interviews, meetings, problem-solving, sales calls, and customer catch-ups. Knowing that availability in your own timezone can be set and viewed locally by another timezone is awesome. The integration to your calendar app is also great, reducing extra clicks and manual timezone calculation.

I love Calendly and can't survive without it! With Calendly, I can source candidates quicker, and get them on my calendar with ease! I've been using it for a few years now, and even though I have access to other interview scheduling tools, this one will never go away!

I personally use Calendly to enable my clients to schedule time with me and use further integrations with Zoom to set up a video conference bridge as well. Since I adopted it, my colleague has adopted it as well.
I also support clients who may want to use it for their own needs, to set it up and integrate it with other necessary processes.
Until one can get to a job level where they can afford a personal assistant (if at all), this is an excellent way of reclaiming time from pointless emails back-and-forth in finding availability. Additionally, it helps me to get the most out of my time since clients can claim every bit of time that'd be available on my calendar (within my defined criteria).

Our software is globally deployed and we have been ramping up more and more clients weekly. Juggling my calendar is tough, and my team and I do not have enough time or bandwidth to do the back and forth of "does this time work for you?" We have also found it very useful in setting up training with customers for our customer success team. Calendly has been such a success we deployed it in our sales and marketing departments as well!

We use it to schedule sales calls for our sales team and also for our onboarding team to schedule onboarding times. In addition, when we attend events we use it to schedule meetings with customers, prospects, and partners at the event. It simplifies the process of connecting with others and reduces the normal back and forth that occurs when trying to find an acceptable common meeting time.
