3x unauthorised charge, terrible customer service, competitors are better

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

3x charge year over year pricing without informing me as the client. I did not authorise them to charge me again for another year, and certainly not 3x the original price for the exact same product and features. In my experience, customer service was terrible and totally unhelpful. I think the product itself is mediocre and unnecessarily complicated. In my opinion, Calendly, Doodle and Google Calendar are all superior products with straightforward pricing, and no hidden "gotcha" charges. They refused to refund me even thought I didn't use the product at all after the 3x unauthorised charge, and I made the request within a few weeks of the charge. I will be doing a chargeback on my Visa due to this. For me, simply not a good customer service experience, expensive / deceptive pricing, and many other competitors that are better.

Pros

competitors better
angering customers and potential referrals?

Cons

better customer service
not use deceptive pricing
refund customers when they ask

Likelihood to Recommend

I mean, in my opinion, if you needed a scheduling product you could use Calendly or Google Calendar, I think both are better products.

It is great for coordinating meeting and people to be in the right place at the right time. It is just not too easy to customize.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Using Calendar to focus on tasks is helpful. Works better than other apps. It addresses gaps in the schedule and teaches us how to better utilize our schedule and time.

Pros

Scheduling
Planning
Time Management
Strategy

Cons

Better User Interface
Better Design/Features

Likelihood to Recommend

The best scenario is scheduling multiple people in the office and figuring out times and days of various schedules and such. With COVID and office time changing per week, it was important to have more options available for staff.

Calendar that always keeps everything on track

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our organisation, we make use of Calendar on day to day basis. Especially after COVID now meetings are scheduled online & this goes directly to your calendar & you can see for yourself how is your day planned. It addresses the problem such as : Focused meetings. Time and schedule. Task for the day. Effective Planning.

Pros

Effective Planning
Create Appointments & Events
Synchonisation with your outlook / email
Time management
Easy to set up and use

Cons

Different colors for different schedules.
More user friendly interface.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a modern calendar app that has allowed us to better plan our time, plan our day, or plan our week. It makes everyone's life easier by allowing you to see all your schedule in one single window. Now we can see you multiple tasks in a single day or entire week & accordingly we can give time to others. When it is less appropriate - I don't foresee this becoming less appropriate. You have the liberty to cancel the meeting online itself and you don't need to call anyone and update them about the cancellation. It will automatically send an update to all users.

Pros

Streamlines and improves the process of scheduling.
Organizes calendars in a single location.
Estimates of our total elapsed time.

Cons

The user interface may be made better.
Integration with other services might be improved.
Occasionally puzzling, but nothing a quick internet search can't sort out.

Likelihood to Recommend

Useful features are packed into a simple user interface in Calendar. It integrates seamlessly with Gmail's calendar, and I enjoy how convenient it makes it to keep track of all my scheduled events. Anyone who is having difficulty finding open hours in their hectic work schedules or who just wants to be more productive should take my advice and implement it immediately.

A functional booking platform that will minimize your costs in meeting management.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Organizing meetings and all related details is not a trivial task; even more so when having to handle several time zones.
As an NGO with volunteers all over the world, we needed a flexible yet reliable way to organize team and individual meetings.
Calendar provided us with a simple yet powerful way to define meeting scenarios and generate links to distribute them.

Pros

Creating meeting scenarios
Grouping members into teams
Google Calendar integration

Cons

Template customizations: variable fields
Link with more than one Google Calendar

Likelihood to Recommend

Anything related to managing booking or meeting scenarios will be alleviated by Calendar. The Google Calendar integrations allows for seamless operations between both.

Calendar is the standard for online scheduling

Rating: 10 out of 10

May 29, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Calendar for our everyday scheduling and meeting planning across our company. We use it together with Mail and other Workspace apps. An online Calendar is a basic tool for remote working and organization, as it is the base of our planning and coordination among our teams. We use it on PC, Mac, Android, and iPhones.

Pros

Multiplatform support.
Real time updates.
Integration with Mail and other Workspace tools.
Great UI.

Cons

Integration with Mac calendar app can be a little better.

Likelihood to Recommend

I believe Calendar is the de-facto standard for scheduling and meeting these days. If you want to use it in an enterprise environment, it has a cost per user so I consider it to be a professional tool. If you have a very small business or personal matters, Calendar outside of Workspace is a better option, although it's almost the same tool.

Easy Meeting Scheduler

Rating: 9 out of 10

Incentivized

May 27, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Calendar allows for quick and easy scheduling with you and your coworkers. The app looks for open time slots with you and the people you connect to. To schedule a meeting you can select a list of times that work for you and send that to whomever you want to meet with. Then, they just have to select a time and the meeting is booked.

Pros

Efficient booking of meetings
Options for customizing meetings virtual or in person

Cons

Better understanding of Calendar would be beneficial - there are a lot of calendar apps

Likelihood to Recommend

Calendar works well because it skips steps in the meeting scheduling process. Instead of sending an email with a list of options, then reading a reply with the times that work, then sending out of the meeting itself, all you have to do is send out the first email and then the meeting is booked when the recipient replies. Calendar does not work with iCal yet so you have to use Google or Microsoft.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

You may easily arrange meetings and events, as well as receive reminders about forthcoming activities, using Calendar. Calendar is made for groups, so it's simple to share your schedule with others and create numerous calendars for you and your colleagues to use. The more events you put on your calendar, the less straightforward Calendar becomes. Fortunately, there are several clever hacks and hidden features in Calendar that you can utilise to make your life lot easier to organise.

Pros

Makes Scheduling Easy and Better
Keeps Calendars organized in one place
Analytics of how much time we have spent on it

Cons

UI can be improved

Likelihood to Recommend

Calendar has a lot of useful functions crammed into its simple UI. It works flawlessly with Gmail's calendar, and I appreciate how easy it is to keep track of all of my booked appointments. I strongly advise this to anyone who are having trouble finding open hours in their busy work schedulesand to everyone who wants to be more productive in general. The analytics are the finest part. I've never seen a calendar software that can show me who I spend the most time with before. It appears that they are more concerned with time management and efficiency than with day planning!"
