Google Calendar

I have used iCal for apple. I like this better because I don’t always have to put in the dates when things are due. It die that for me.

Google Calendar is a close competitor and I think wins in certain categories like general appearance and enabling focus hours & working hours. However, Microsft 365's calendar just seems like it has been built out more with a focus on business use case (despite still having many grievances with Microsoft 365).

I haven't extensively used any other products similar to Google Calendar, but I do prefer the interface more than Calendly

Aside from being easier to use, Google Calendar appears to be more organized. To avoid having to move between daily, weekly, and monthly views, I prefer that numerous views are available at a time. Because it syncs with Google Meet, it's really simple not just to schedule upcoming tasks but also to meet with any Google user.

Google Calendar is better than Microsoft 365 in pretty much every aspect of the product. Microsoft Outlook's user interface is slow, non-intuitive, and even stressful to use in the long term, while Google Calendar is fast, responsive, and intuitive.

Google Calendar is more user-friendly. ClickUp is more for professionals and those who have the computer knowledge to add detailed information. Google Calendar is more versatile and more commonly used among individuals and businesses. Easily connect with other applications.

There are a lot of overlapping similarities between iCal and Google Calendar, which made it difficult to land on one at first. Ultimately, since we have some folks in Apple environments and some in Microsoft environments, Google was the best option to bridge those workspaces. Google Calendar is a little bit more user-friendly than Microsoft Planner or Outlook and is a bit more versatile than iCal in its features across devices.

Compared to Microsoft 365 Outlook calendar, Google Calendar is much fresher and vibrant and easy on the eye.
It feels much less cumbersome than 365 products.
It is easier to add & schedule events and invite colleagues and clients.
There is no problem integrating other calendars into Google Calendar.
Works really well in all ecosystems, especially for Google Workspace and Android devices.

Notion is great for organizing personal tasks, which Google Calendar isn't the best for. However, Google Calendar is the best for co-working due to its direct Google Meets links, simplicity, and ability to view other people's schedules. Google Calendar is also better to access compared to Apple calendar since everyone with a Google workspace (which all my coworkers do) can use it.

Google Calendar is much easier to use than iCal in my experience simply because it is more reliable. It particularly seems to work better with the Microsoft suite of products as some of my coworkers who lean on iCal occasionally miss meeting invites as they don't sync correctly all the time.

Most of the other services we would use don't have the same integration with other Google services that Google Calendar has. The ability to view and set things from your email is very convenient. So is the ability to have your notifications automatically show up on an Android phone as a reminder.

outlook is more cumbersome and kind of sucks on mobile in my experience

Google Calendar is easy to use & so convenient. I find other calendars clunky.

Google Calendar seems much cleaner and easily syncs to multiple devices. I like that there are multiple views available at a time so as to not have to switch back and forth between daily/weekly/monthly views. The fact that it syncs with Google Meet makes it very easy to not only schedule pending tasks, but quickly meet with any Google user.

N/A

As mentioned, Google Calendar is connected with other Google products. It is a great environment (workspace) which makes our work easier. It is available on desktop and mobile phones. Other time management tools might be outstanding in terms of feature or design but no one beat Google Calendar in our opinion. We believe that Google has the capability to maintain its product sustainability.
