We use Typeform for more complex uses but Doodle is used internally for submitting meal choices, voting, etc. Typeform is way overkill for that use case. Doodle is integrated into Slack so it makes this super streamlined!

More than Doodle

For me, it is about usability. Doodle continues to be the easiest for me to maneuver and make my own. I have experienced Doodle as more customizable for me. It meets my needs and I can usually ask someone a question and they are already familiar with how to manipulate Doodle as well. Doodle is a very popular tool to use in education.

Doodle is more customizable and I love the animation aspect. It is missing the engagement piece, but again I am new to it so there may be features in Doodle that I haven't discovered yet.

Doodle is far superior to Calendly. It's more intuitive, easier to log in and understand the interface, and has a dynamic dashboard where you can do everything yourself and see history. I selected Doodle because it isn't just a chrome extension. It has so much more to it than that. Go Doodle!

In comparison to the other tools that are used within our organization, Doodle stacks up to be more user friendly, convenient, faster, easily shareable, you do not need to be in IT in order to use Doodle, and results come right to your email. I will continue to use Doodle to meet my scheduling and need to connect with multiple people in a timely manner.

What we would do before was to create chats with multiple participants, where we would set an agenda and announce there would be a meeting planned, and then proposing time options for that meeting, which would then be confirmed or replaced by other people. Doodle simplifies this logistics by simply enabling one person to lay down available options and for other people to choose from these options.

SurveyMonkey has many more tools available and works great for advanced sign-ups with an element of information collection.
Doodle, however, is much better when you're trying to quickly find a common time slot for a meeting, and virtually takes 1 minute to set up and send out to others.

Outlook calendar availability is tricky because there can be blocked-off calendar times during which a person may still be available. Doodle allows the user to make the determination of whether they are available to meet.

Doodle is more efficient for getting a quick look at timelines and better identifying days/times to host a meeting or event. However, Outlook is more efficient for a wider range of tasks, such as sending calendar invites and visualizing personal/business dates.

I think Doodle is like Calendly on steroids. I have used Calendly for a pretty long time and I really like it but I feel Doodle's added functionality definitely makes it the more attractive option. Also, their pricing isn't that different so you just get more bang for your buck with Doodle. They both offer a free version/trial, worth looking into.

It is just more user-friendly and it took us less time to onboard each and every one of our employees. It is also light and not really advanced as for usage, very intuitive even for those who never used this kind of software before. And it looks much nicer than the competition!

Microsoft Scheduling Assistant - works well if users have Microsoft calendars, but also presumes the user has put every event into their calendar - does not give the person a preference in scheduling meetings

For the same reasons noted previously, Doodle allows for the organizer to ultimately select/accept the time that works for them. Many competitors only allow you to show available times and the appointment goes directly into the organizer's calendar. I typically prefer to have a bit more control over that.

Also, visually Doodle is more intuitive in how you schedule appointments than Calendly. I think Calendly tries to get a bit too cute with their interface instead of sticking to a more standard, familiar calendar interface when setting an appointment.

I use Sign-Up Genius to list my open appointments and let students sign up for individual spots; I use the anonymous option so that only I can see the name and to others it simply appears as "already filled".
Doodle is simpler in some ways that Sign-Up Genius, but Doodle's biggest advantage is the ability for individuals to indicate multiple options.

Doodle is a platform that allows you to see others' availability, while Calendly and YCBM require respondents to actually make a booking at one of the times you offer. Doodle allows more flexibility in that you can see if there are multiple times when multiple people are available, then schedule a meeting at the best time for everyone, not just the best time for one person.
