Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it every day to schedule internal meetings and external meetings. I live by my calendar, so I'm viewing it at least once every hour.

Pros

I love the customization functionality. You're able to add different colors. So I add pink for external, yellow for internal. So it's just at a glance I can see what I had going on that day.

Cons

Well, one thing that was updated was the functionality to add times within your calendar invite for someone else to pick different times. So that's new, which I love. But thinking about it, I can't really think of anything that is lacking that I would need.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it's appropriate for everyone that meets with customers, meets with people within their businesses. I even put my personal calendar on my work calendar. I'm just looking at it every day, so I think everyone could use it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Google Calendar every day. It helps me keep my schedule clean, and keeps me on task. I am constantly using it to create meetings both internal and external, and can easily attach meeting links for virtual meetings. It's literally the first thing I look at when I get to work, and the last thing I look at when I leave.

Pros

Makes it easy to schedule meetings and block off time
I can see everyone in my org's calendar's as well which makes it convenient when scheduling calls with multiple people so I can see when they have overlapping availabilities.
Integration with Zoom and Microsoft Teams for video calls that can be added from the calendar invite itself

Cons

Sometimes the meeting invites don't show the entire meeting name in the email, and you can't hover over it or anything to see what the full title is.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's great for scheduling your own time for your own day and tasks. It's also great for scheduling meetings with other people internally and externally. We also have it connected to our internal office meeting room scheduler, which makes it great for room assignment, but sometimes we have some issues with it kicking you out of the room and giving it to somebody else. Probably our issue to resolve, but it's something that happens.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Each employee can track their work events and tasks separately while also being able to share events to the entire organization.

Pros

Multiple calendars make it easy to track things and remain organized
Being able to alter the view between, day up to year is very helpful
Is easy to schedule appointments and meetings with other team members and clients

Cons

It would be nice to limit my view to my working hours - either in the day view or week view

Likelihood to Recommend

Google Calendar is great for tracking work events and tasks and scheduling inside and outside of the organization. It seamlessly works with all other google products making notetaking, scheduling, and many other tasks extremely easy.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Schedule meetings, set some repeating tasks, define agenda's, show when I'm available or in vacation. Set the link for the meeting of Google hangout. Seeing other colleagues availability to be able to schedule a meeting or know if they're joining or not and also being able to open some space for interviews.

Pros

Find a space in my calendar and the rest to meet
Show you some analytics of how your week is
Adding different types of calendars and managing them
Visualizing my calendar and moments of free time

Cons

Being able to group a team much easier so I don't have to add the same people over and over again without having to have access right to create a Google group
Room or space management, because of repeating events the rooms of the office tend to be always "occupied" but not everyone is there due to how the new hybrid way of working is
Better way of working together in the calendar events where it's easier for the team to prepare if I give a clearer better UI of all the documents/presentations they might need to look over

Likelihood to Recommend

It's great for a mid to large company where you need to schedule time and meetings with the company. For smaller teams and companies it might not make sense to use it. Overall it's quite handy to have a shared calendar space with a team and schedule your meetings there.

Must have tool for professionals

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Google Calendar is an excellent tool for scheduling events and meetings and planning your day. It is a great collaboration tool since you can view one's schedule and organize events accordingly. It also provides alerts before the scheduled event's time, which is great since one need not be memorizing or tracking each event manually. I use Google Calendar extensively for my daily professional scheduling and organizing meets.

Pros

Scheduling and manipulating time slots for an event or meet
Provides alerts before the scheduled event's time
Direct integration with google meet which enables the user to organize a hassle free meeting.
Subscription to other's google calendar's to keep a track of their schedule.
Integration of multiple calendars into one.

Cons

When multiple events are scheduled in a single time slot, the visualization of the events becomes confusing.
No integration with other video conferencing platforms other than google meet.
UI of Google Calendar's mobile application gets confusing when working with multiple calendars

Likelihood to Recommend

Google Calendar are a great tool for organizing professional events and meetings with multiple individuals, based on their available time slots. Its direct integration with google meet enables the user to easily navigate to the meeting link. The UI is also very user friendly and with minimal clutter which makes the UI very intuitive for the user.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am able to see what is due by my students when I look at Google Calendar based off of what I have assigned for them in Google Classroom. It puts it into Google Calendar and I can see not only the work that is due by my students, but things that I have put into the calendar that I have to do.

Pros

Allows me to see what I have to do for the week.
Helps me to keep track of meetings.
Helps me to keep up with family activities.

Cons

None
None
None

Likelihood to Recommend

I have been better able to keep up with anything I have assigned in Google Classroom to my students because it automatically puts the date that I said it was due into my calendar. I can then see whose was late and whose was on time.

Google Calendar for Sales

Rating: 8 out of 10

December 20, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Google Calendar is a crucial part of my workflow. As a manager, I use Google Calendar to navigate & plan my days & align with my direct reports, peers, & my boss on meetings. It enables success in a remote work environment by allowing users to block focus hours and set their working hours. I use it to also keep track of my direct reports when they are out of the office or when other company events are going on. We can save time by understanding when other people are in meetings or in focus hours so we can either reach out with questions a different time, or direct our questions to someone else. We also integrate Google Calendar with scheduling software to easily set up virtual meetings with customers.

Pros

Enables the creation of designated Focus Hours
Enables users to set their "working hours" and others can see if they are setting up a meetings a moon symbol next to their name to show it is outside of that invitees working hours
Allows you to easily create scheduled tasks directly on your Google Calendar

Cons

Suggesting meetings times.
Allowing you to accept or decline a meeting invitation without notifying the organizer.
Better functionality & colors for the meeting categories/tags function

Likelihood to Recommend

Google Calendar is well suited for scheduling 1:1 and smaller group meetings and recurring meetings. It's also well suited to connect with scheduling software. However, there is still a lot of opportunity for improvement when you want to make a very well-organized calendar (for example, limitations with the meeting tagging & categories). It's also not as well suited for helping with scheduling for bigger groups.

Google Calendar is user-friendly and simplifies daily tasks

June 24, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my organization, Google Calendar is used to schedule internal meetings, and schedule department-wide and individual tasks and reminders. We also use other software (Groove) to integrate with Gmail, so when clients schedule appointments with us, it shows up on our Google Calendar.

Pros

User-Friendly
Customizable

Cons

N/A, I am very happy with Google Calendar

Likelihood to Recommend

Google Calendar is great for remote working environments. If you want to schedule a meeting with someone internally, you can see openings on their calendar, so you don't double-book them. You can also block off time that you don't want people to book, and also make it clear when you are out of the office.

Great tool for keeping track of upcoming events

June 9, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use google calendar to set event remainders, and manage meetings with my team. It helps the whole team in time management. Everyone works in coordination with his/her teammates by checking their calendar slots. It also helps us in keeping the track of upcoming events which we short-list and prepare accordingly for the event. we in our company, also use it for booking appointment slots with our team leads or team managers. Google calendar tells us the status of our co-workers whether he is online or offline.

Pros

Sets event remainders
Blocks slots for appointments
Upcoming Event details
Set team meetings
Checking on coworkers status

Cons

the user interface should be improved for better experience.
Needs more app integration for example adding notes to calendar events.
I would also love to see an integration with google maps, where I can share locations from maps to events directly on calendar.

Likelihood to Recommend

Google calendar is best suited for professional use, because right from my start, since i joined the company, the whole process of recruiting, joining and working for the company involved the use of google calendar. I was contacted via Gmail, and an meeting was set on a particular date using google calendar, which notified on that particular day, and i joined the meeting through a link in calendar events. Since that day i have been using Google calendar in a professional way, meeting clients, team mates, managers and co-workers by checking their slots and blocking it to let them know. So, i think Google calendar is good for professional use where the number of people are more, and time management is necessary.

Google Calendar helps me schedule meetings, jobs, and reminders

Rating: 9 out of 10

June 8, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Booking appointments, tasks, and reminders is a breeze, thanks to Google Calendar. Other members of the company can see this information as well. Because many businesses rely on Google Calendar, adding new work to my calendar is a cinch. We can't live without Google Calendar, and it makes our life a lot easier. We arrange estimates every day, so having all of the information we need in one place is critical. You may easily add information like reminders, locations, and more.

Pros

Connectivity to other programs and systems.
It's simple to coordinate and communicate with your team.
Compatibility with other software.

Cons

Using the iOS app, it's tough to upload photos or other data.
Editing The iOS app does not have special features such as bold.
Customization options and more themes.

Likelihood to Recommend

For a reminder app, it's perfect. It's what we utilize to schedule appointments with our customers. It's a way for us to share information about an event with our employees. Appointments may be added quickly and easily. Reminders sent to us via apps and websites are accurate and exactly what we expected them to be. I don't like how cumbersome it is to add files using the iOS app.
