Overall Satisfaction with Google Calendar

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
  • Saves time trying to align a space in everyone's calendar
  • It's connected to the rest of the g-suite allowing for smoother working together which saves time
It's a bit outdated on how things should be working, the UI per say hasn't changed much and I believe there is still a lot more room for improvement in how the calendar shows, the creating process, the parameters on setting up an event and it could be better integrated with the g-suite and other tools

Do you think Google Calendar delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Google Calendar's feature set?

Yes

Did Google Calendar live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Google Calendar go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Google Calendar again?

Yes

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.
