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used by Customer Experience and User Experience teams for coordinating interviews and user testing, eliminating the outdated method of manually suggesting available times.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

To be completely honest, I haven't had much experience with Calendly support. However, with how great the software is, I am sure that the support is great as well. My experience with Calendly has been great and I have not found a reason where I would need to be in much contact with support.

There is a lot of support for Calendly. Whenever I have had issues navigating through it, especially as a new user, I found multiple support on the web addressing my questions or concerns. There is a lot of in app informative notes accessible to users to navigate through Calendly when needed.

I only reached out to Support once but they were very prompt and easy to work with. I had some questions about setting up the follow-up emails for after people would do the interview. They were very helpful and gave assistance and we solved the issue very fast. I would definitely recommend.

Though I've never personally had to contact Calendly support, I know they are very quick and efficient in solving issues and are readily available for any help you may need. It's important, when you have a platform such as this one, to have a viable help desk when something happens that you need to immediately fix (glitches/errors), and Calendly always helps when needed!

ClearCompany is a straightforward solution with minimum investments required for setup, a great (simple) user experience, and excellent ROI. The group scheduling features can be occasionally useful. In a time when people are trying to minimize their volume of email, it's an excellent tool to help!
I particularly recommend it for independent, small/medium-sized professionals where they have a lot of control over their own schedule.

The couple of times we opened up tickets with Calendly for support, it took some time for a response back and the response wasn't overly helpful. With that, we were asking for ways to make Calendly do things it wasn't designed to do so they were tough support tickets to respond to in general.

In the first place, we have never had a major problem requiring technical support. We have asked about features we previously saw lacking, and did get prompt responses to the inquiry, and over time have seen every request we've had implemented (probably because they were obvious to everyone...)

Calendly is a productivity tool that I use every day and recommend to other people, especially if they have to manage and live by their calendar. So far I have not come across a more power-packed calendar product.
We work with a lot of small business owners and I always recommend Calendly.
