Overall Satisfaction with Zoho Calendar

We wanted to check out a dedicated calendar system that might allow us to make more modifications and enables more freedom and integration rather than just depending on the calendar of what email system is being used e.g. Google or Microsoft and after watching the introduction video of Zoho Calendar, wanted to give it a try.
  • I can see that Zoho Calendar allows for multiple tab use which seemed to be a rare and useful function to have.
  • I like how the search function is advanced and you can put specific info to find what you require.
  • I like the visual freedom the app gives in terms of the day, month, and workdays, 2-month views, and selecting colours as well, etc.
  • I think Zoho Calendar can improve in the area of making more calendars to subscribe to available, for example for some reason there's no Turkey Holidays calendar available which is upsetting.
  • More freedom in terms of selecting a specific time for work start and end would be good - e.g. I start at 9:30, not 9:00 but there's no option to put that.
  • I found the integration with other apps not so hard but not a breeze either so this could be improved - it took a while for my data from another calendar to come.
  • Integration options
  • Freedom of choice it brings
  • Enabling advanced management of all events happening in different calendars
  • Positively affected enabling us to see the uncovered potential that we can dig out more to improve efficiency in time management.
  • Positively affected by promoting change within the team and exploring what other software we can use and integrate into daily operations.
  • Negatively affected to spend some time but not fully moving to the system due to negative points mentioned - I believe competition is strong.

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

Yes

Are you happy with Zoho Calendar's feature set?

No

Did Zoho Calendar live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Zoho Calendar go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Zoho Calendar again?

Yes

I think Zoho Calendar would be good for a person or a team who uses different tools and booking software to have a lot of meetings, just wanting to put them all in one place in front of their eyes and see easily to manage better. And maybe Zoho Calendar is not the best of the options out there for users who focus on simplicity.
