Chili Piper vs. Engageware

It is very well suited for anyone looking for a scheduling tool that integrates directly with Salesforce and/or Marketo, or other marketing automation platforms. Especially if you need to route to teams based on different regions or other criteria.There are other simpler scheduling tools out there, but this makes routing and tracking on the back end much easier with the best integration with other tools.

TimeTrade is a good fit for a team with regular hours and little schedule fluctuation, one type of role being hired at a time, a limited budget, excellent phone/communication skills to work with the customer service team effectively, and a very clear idea of exactly how the hiring process needs to be structured. Not recommended for teams with diverse appointment types/programs, complex/shifting schedules, and enough budget to afford a higher end product.

• The Google Calendar integration is seamless, a unique zoom link is also automatically created when a meeting is booked on my calendar.
• The booking link is simple for my prospects and customers to find time on my calendar.
• The chrome plug in is useful to use no matter what tab or page im sitting on.

• The customers really like that they can book time with our reps when it's convenient for both parties.
• TimeTrade integrates with Outlook, so the online calendar is in sync with the reps.

• The ux interface could be easier to navigate for admins
• The set up or meeting types could be more intuitive, as an admin I have had to help our reps set this up a lot as they have gotten confused
• Chili Piper can have certain words they use like booker assignee which could be better defined in the onboarding process for reps

• I wish it was a bit more integrated with my calendar (Outlook). I have to manually add times to it and retrieve responses to pick a time

• Support was very responsive during our integration phase, and after that too.
• They have the whole infrastructure built to notify customers about bug/outages, which is excellent. Entire System outage only happened once, but being updated on fix progress helped a lot to keep our team calm.

I've used their online support, which has answered my questions for the most part. If I remember correctly, they were responsive when I emailed them as well.

I've used Drift and Salesloft scheduling tools. They all connect to google calendars, but Chili Piper is the only that I'm aware of that can insert time suggestions without actually blocking the time off as well as Round Robin assignment of meetings. Chili Piper has been the easiest to use as a sales rep.

I haven't looked at any others recently, but plan to, so not sure what the latest features are on other systems.

• More qualified opps
• Increased efficiency. Much less time spent trying to line up availability etc. No more back and forth email chains trying to find times to meet.
• Increased transparency. All meetings and Chili Piper events are logged directly in Salesforce for us.

• TimeTrade makes me more efficient because it eliminates the e-mails and calls back and forth to set up appointments.
