Doodle
Chose Doodle
Doodle is the quickest platform for selecting options and copying a link over to share with a team! The user journey is also very simple and even in haste, it is easy to pull up options without being concerned about making errors. Previewing the Doodle is just a click away.
Chose Doodle
For me, it is about usability. Doodle continues to be the easiest for me to maneuver and make my own. I have experienced Doodle as more customizable for me. It meets my needs and I can usually ask someone a question and they are already familiar with how to manipulate Doodle as …
Chose Doodle
Doodle is more customizable and I love the animation aspect. It is missing the engagement piece, but again I am new to it so there may be features in Doodle that I haven't discovered yet.
Chose Doodle
Doodle is far superior to Calendly. It's more intuitive, easier to log in and understand the interface, and has a dynamic dashboard where you can do everything yourself and see history. I selected Doodle because it isn't just a chrome extension. It has so much more to it than …
Chose Doodle
I have not used another scheduling tool outside of Doodle.
Chose Doodle
In comparison to the other tools that are used within our organization, Doodle stacks up to be more user friendly, convenient, faster, easily shareable, you do not need to be in IT in order to use Doodle, and results come right to your email. I will continue to use Doodle to …
Chose Doodle
What we would do before was to create chats with multiple participants, where we would set an agenda and announce there would be a meeting planned, and then proposing time options for that meeting, which would then be confirmed or replaced by other people. Doodle simplifies …
Chose Doodle
SurveyMonkey has many more tools available and works great for advanced sign-ups with an element of information collection.
Doodle, however, is much better when you're trying to quickly find a common time slot for a meeting, and virtually takes 1 minute to set up and send out to …
Chose Doodle
Outlook calendar availability is tricky because there can be blocked-off calendar times during which a person may still be available. Doodle allows the user to make the determination of whether they are available to meet.
Chose Doodle
Doodle works better than Microsoft scheduler because you can send to individuals outside of your organization. You do not need an account to respond.
Chose Doodle
Doodle is more efficient for getting a quick look at timelines and better identifying days/times to host a meeting or event. However, Outlook is more efficient for a wider range of tasks, such as sending calendar invites and visualizing personal/business dates.
Chose Doodle
We use typeform for more complex uses but Doodle is used internally for submitting meal choices, voting, etc. Typeform is way overkill for that use case. Doodle is integrated into Slack so it makes this super streamlined!
Chose Doodle
I think Doodle is like Calendly on steroids. I have used Calendly for a pretty long time and I really like it but I feel Doodle's added functionality definitely makes it the more attractive option. Also, their pricing isn't that different so you just get more bang for your buck …
Chose Doodle
It is just more user-friendly and it took us less time to onboard each and every one of our employees. It is also light and not really advanced as for usage, very intuitive even for those who never used this kind of software before. And it looks much nicer than the competition!
Chose Doodle
Microsoft Scheduling Assistant - works well if users have Microsoft calendars, but also presumes the user has put every event into their calendar - does not give the person a preference in scheduling meetings
Chose Doodle
Doodle allows you to view more options simultaneously than Calendly, but Calendly offers more private interaction. Calendly is helpful for scheduling one on one meetings, but Doodle is much more effective with groups.
Chose Doodle
For the same reasons noted previously, Doodle allows for the organizer to ultimately select/accept the time that works for them. Many competitors only allow you to show available times and the appointment goes directly into the organizer's calendar. I typically prefer to have a …
Chose Doodle
I use Sign-Up Genius to list my open appointments and let students sign up for individual spots; I use the anonymous option so that only I can see the name and to others it simply appears as "already filled".
Doodle is simpler in some ways that Sign-Up Genius, but Doodle's …
Chose Doodle
Doodle is a platform that allows you to see others' availability, while Calendly and YCBM require respondents to actually make a booking at one of the times you offer. Doodle allows more flexibility in that you can see if there are multiple times when multiple people are …
LeanData
Chose LeanData
Lane Four is no longer in business (I think LeanData acquired) but Leandata is more flexible and reliable than it. Also more so than the custom code we used prior.
Chose LeanData
Its better and more modern. The UI is a much better experience
Chose LeanData
Salesforce flows are getting more and more powerful and similar to what LeanData does, but the routing function and territory mapping in LeanData is far superior to SFDC functionality, especially when it comes to the visibility and audit trails that it captures as people go …
Chose LeanData
LeanData solved all of our needs and allowed ownership and management we needed to scale our routing engine. We also loved working with the LeanData team and had an extremely positive experience with our sales rep and implementation team. I would want LeanData at any company I …
Chose LeanData
LeanData is easier to use, has a nice visual and handles more complex routing logic.
Chose LeanData
LeanData's native CRM structure made it the clear choice for us. No configuration is needed to read from all CRM fields and objects. We've been customers for 4 years and have never had any issues with its performance.
Chose LeanData
We were not able to devote the developer resources to solving the problem in-house at the moment in time we needed to move on this solution. We wanted (needed) a bespoke solution where implementation could be handled outside of our organization. LeanData was able to offer that …
Chose LeanData
We tried using Ringlead for routing purposes but the way the logic needed to be built was super complex, repetitive and prone to manual errors so we like Leandata as auditing and testing is better and you can even see where the error is for your graph. Having a graphical or …
Chose LeanData
N/A I was not here to evaluate other products nor have I used similar tools.
Chose LeanData
I have not used other products for lead routing besides doing manual distributions and this is much better than that!
Chose LeanData
LeanData Bookit replaced Chili Piper for us, and made it much easier to manage out routing for meetings since we were already using LeanData for routing. We have recently evaluated Qualified, and territory management/round robin logic is much simpler in LeanData.
Chose LeanData
Compared to SFDC out-of-the-box routing it is far superior. Giving you the ability to quickly make changes on the fly and test in a sandbox environment. The ability to troubleshoot leads and how they are routed is also a plus. Built-in email alerts also reduce the amount of …
Chose LeanData
We have routing cababilities in Marketo, Salesforce's out of the box Lea Routing Rules, and custom code. [LeanData] is by far the easier and most flexible for an agile business.
Chose LeanData
The main competitors to LeanData are Lane Four and Distribution Engine. While these solutions are definitely improvements from the native lead routing rules in Salesforce, they do not compare against LeanData. They lack the robust fuzzy matching, visual routing canvas, …
Chose LeanData
At the time of evaluation, in addition to looking for Salesforce.com to solve the issue, I looked at a couple of other, smaller solutions that I can't even remember their name. They didn't offer the same level of robustness or complete solution. The Salesforce.com solution …
Chose LeanData
We didn't thoroughly examine alternatives.
Chose LeanData
The most powerful lead routing tool I’ve seen. It allows you to have so many different ways to route the most complicated of situations.
Chose LeanData
The above are all excellent products in their own right, but lack the specialized focus of Lean Data.

Doodle is great when you need to coordinate dates among a group and don't want to send a bunch of group emails or texts. It allows a number of dates to be proposed and the group can easily see those dates that are most preferred. If you need to do something more complex than that it may not be your tool.

LeanData is incredibly configurable. The drag and drop nodes are easy to use and while it takes a little practice, once you know how to configure the nodes, the amount of flexibility you have to customize your instance is impressive. We can route to specific individuals, to Round Robins, to Territory Teams and more. Timezones and vacations rules can be established and respected. The tool is incredibly scalable to large teams. We have two different business units each with different routing practices and we are able to configure LeanData to work smoothly for both unique processes.

Pros
  • Doodle approaches this problem different than most other scheduling platforms I've looked at (and I've looked at most of them). Doodle allows the person who is making their calendar available for scheduling to make the final decision on the meeting in contrast to other platforms that typically do it the other way around. Both can be beneficial depending on preference
  • I love that Doodle allows for proposing multiple times, which is a feature I've yet to find on other scheduling platforms (and I've looked at/tried a lot of them)
  • Doodle makes the scheduling process very simple even for someone who's never used it before

  • Lead-to-Account Matching. LeanData has far and away the best fuzzy matching system for identifying the appropriate Account where a particular Lead belongs.
  • Lead Routing. LeanData's visual routing canvas allows business users to construct very sophisticated, yet reliable, routing branches that determine what to do with every lead (both new and existing) based on business rules.

Cons
  • I would appreciate a more intuitive add-on within Google Calendar so we can schedule meetings directly in there.
  • I think missing functionality might be adding sliders, photos, and colors to the polls to make it look really beautiful.
  • I find the options on the poll settings are a bit confusing. It could be elaborated on more or have tooltips to explain the options better.

  • I think implementing data tables is by far a superior way to achieve complex routing scenarios, but the feature could be more at the forefront (I was previously building very complex webs to achieve similar results before I was aware of how to use them)
  • I wish there were a way to have multiple entry nodes of the same type (ie New/Updated Campaign Member) with different filters for better router organization. I realize this could be implemented by adding additional filters to the existing node, but for viewing cleanliness as opposed to functionality itself, I wish this could change.

Support Rating
Doodle has customer service support available as needed, but honestly, it is so easy to use that I have rarely had to seek support. They are always a click away and responsive to resolving any need or to clarify the next best step to using Doodle to meet my needs.

There is no way I would have such a successful implementation of this product without the implementation and support team. They have been patient, helpful, and very responsive. Even after I had gone live and had been so for a while, our org and thus our criteria had changed. They continued to help me make the necessary tweaks to ensure I was up and running.

We were not able to devote the developer resources to solving the problem in-house at the moment in time we needed to move on this solution. We wanted (needed) a bespoke solution where implementation could be handled outside of our organization. LeanData was able to offer that and on the timescale we were beholden to.

Return on Investment
  • Doodle saves so much time. Time is valuable, and it cuts the time involved with scheduling in half.
  • Doodle connects our team across campus. Even if we don't see each other, we can still check in and plan a meeting.
  • Doodle doesn't always work well with our campus network, which can be annoying.

  • Using the Outreach integration in LeanData that allows us to auto-sequence an inbound prospect that hasn't booked a meeting has brought our average time to touch from 10+ days to >1 day.
  • I can't speak to specific numbers, but using LeanData to route our different onboarding related objects has significantly reduced our onboarding time for new customers.
  • Adding LeanData Bookit has also reduced our spend by consolidating tools. When we acquired a company last year, we were able to use LeanData on their website and get rid of their routing/meeting tools without having to pay for another instance.
