Calendly Erfahrungen

Gutes Online-Terminplanungstool

Kommentare: Sehr gutes Tool mit kleinen Schwächen beim internationalen Einsatz und bei Integration in Websites.

Vorteile:

Calendly ist für mich die beste Online-Terminplanungssoftware und lässt sich im Vergleich zu Book Like a Boss oder die Online-Terminbuchung von Teams leicht einrichten, gut mit dem Kalender synchronisieren und ebenso gut auf der eigenen Website einrichten.

Nachteile:

Die Übersetzung ins Deutsche ist weniger gut. Statt "Abbrechen", um eine Änderung nicht zu speichern, heißt es in Calendly "Absagen". Man kann seinen Kunden keine Möglichkeit anbieten, selber Termine vorzuschlagen, falls die freigegebenen Termine nicht passen. Microsoft Teams kann nur mit der Business-Lizenz genutzt werden. Es gibt keine richtige WordPress-Integration (bspw. als Gravity Forms-Erweiterung), sondern nur die Möglichkeit, Calendly per iframe in die eigene Website zu integrieren. Es gibt keine Möglichkeit, mehrsprachige Buchungsformulare anzulegen.

Der einfachste Weg Termine zu vereinbaren

Kommentare: Insgesamt hat mit Calendly sehr gut gefallen, was die Bedienbarkeit und Anpassungsmöglichkeiten betreffen. Calendly würde ich jederzeit uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen.

Vorteile:

Mir hat besonders gut gefallen, dass ich meinen Calendly Kalender über einen individuellen Link in Social Media Profilen wie LinkedIn teilen konnte. Das Setup ist sehr intuitiv gestaltet und einfach umzusetzen. Erinnerungsmails sind sehr wertvoll, da sie mich und den Adressaten über den bevorstehenden Termin informieren.

Nachteile:

Leider nur ein Kalender zur Auswahl in der kostenlosen Version und das Mailing bei Absagen war hier eingeschränkt. Der Funktionsumfang von Benachrichtigungen war nur im kostenpflichtigen Plan möglich.

Das einzig wahre Tool für Terminplanung, leider mit dem entsprechenden Preis

Kommentare: Ich bin begeisterter Nutzer, das einzige, was mich immer mal wieder gestört hat, ist der Preis, auf das Jahr gesehen ist das doch nennenswert. Allerdings habe ich viele Alternativen getestet, die immer in Zuverlässigkeit, Schnelligkeit und / oder der Nutzerfreundlichkeit schlechter waren.
Termine bringen mir aber Kundenkontakt und das wiederum ist mein Cashflow, das MUSS einwandfrei laufen.

Vorteile:

Es funktioniert ordentlich wie es soll und das extrem schnell und zuverlässig.

Nachteile:

Einzig der Preis stört mich an Calendly.

Schnelle und Einfache Terminabstimmung

Kommentare: Calendly ist ein äußerst effizientes Tool zur Terminplanung, das uns in der täglichen Arbeit enorm unterstützt. Die größte Stärke von Calendly liegt in seiner Fähigkeit, den Prozess der Terminfindung zu automatisieren und zu vereinfachen. Mit Calendly können wir einfach Verfügbarkeiten teilen, ohne dabei ständig E-Mails hin und her zu senden. Das System synchronisiert sich nahtlos mit unserem Kalender, was Doppelbuchungen verhindert und sicherstellt, dass Termine immer aktuell sind.

Vorteile:

Uns gefällt besonders gut, dass die Terminabstimmung durch die Kalendersynchronisation schnell und unkompliziert ist, was uns viel Zeit spart.

Nachteile:

Bisher haben wir keine Nachteile feststellen können

Optimale Terminplanung

Kommentare: Calendly ist meiner Meinung nach auch optimales Tool für die Terminplanung, welches auch gut mobil funktioniert. Die Möglichkeit, Echtzeittermine für das Team einzugeben, finde ich besonders toll, falls es mal zu Planänderungen kommt. Alle sind sofort informiert. Ich bin insgesamt begeistert und nutze Calendly gerne seit geraumer Zeit.

Vorteile:

Am besten gefällt mir bei Calendly, dass ich es mobil nutzen kann. Die Übersicht ist schnell greifbar und die Termine schnell geplant. Auch die Echtzeitanzeige gefällt mir besonders gut, wenn es mal kurzfristige Terminierungen gibt und das Team schnell informiert werden soll.

Nachteile:

Bisher habe ich an Calendly nichts zu bemängeln.

Für Vertriebler ein wichtiges Tool!

Vorteile:

Als Vertriebsassistenz im Cold Calling ist es für mich besonders wichtig, effizient und schnell Termine mit potentiellen Interessenten buchen zu können, ohne dabei besonders viel Zeit zu verlieren und aus dem Flow zu kommen, der für einen Kaltakquisiteur entscheidend ist. Hier hilft Calendly extrem zuverlässig - es zeigt mir sofort an, welche Zeiten an welchen Tagen bei unserem Geschäftsführer frei sind und kann diese Termine problemlos am Telefon anbieten. Wenn sich ein passender Termin findet, ist dieser innerhalb weniger Sekunden gebucht und der Interessent erhält zudem eine Bestätigungsemail. Alleine diese E-Mail spart Minuten an zusätzlichem Aufwand. Durch die Automation ist der Vorgang schnell und zuverlässig erledigt, der Interessent hat alle Informationen erhalten, die er braucht und ich konnte mit wenigen Klicks mehrere Kommunikationsschritte auf einmal erledigen.

Nachteile:

Hier gibt es eigentlich nicht viel auszusetzen. Das Tool ist simpel und bietet eine simple Lösung und kann daher auch nicht viele Fehler machen.

Empfehlenswert

Kommentare: Empfehlenswert durch die durchgängigen Prozesse

Vorteile:

Funktionalitäten, einfach zu implementieren

Nachteile:

Viele Funktionen sind erst in der PRO Version nutzbar

Einfache Bedienung für Geschäft wie für Kunden!

Kommentare: Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Funktionsumfang und mit der Preisleistung.
Calendly kann ich sehr weiterempfehlen.

Vorteile:

Am besten finde ich die sehr einfache und schnelle Bedienung. Unsere Kunden kommen auch gut damit zurecht und freuen sich, dass wir diese Funktion der Terminbuchung anbieten.

Nachteile:

Für bestimmte Terminarten, hätte ich gerne mehr Felder im Formular anlegen können. Aber das war kein wirklicher Nachteil der störend.

Gutes Planungstool für Online Terminvergabe

Vorteile:

Ziemlich einfach zu bedienen und funktioniert zuverlässig

Nachteile:

Im Vergleich ist der Preis recht hoch und ein wenig mehr Flexibilität wäre wünschenswert

Calendly als Online Booking Tool

Kommentare: Ich nutze es sporadisch für 1:1 Termine mit einzelenen Kunden. Als VA, die auch Kalender von Kunden verwaltet oder Meetings mit mehreren externen Kunden und Lieferanten planen muss, ist das Tool ungeeignet.

Vorteile:

Ich kann meinen Kunden den Link zur Verfügung stellen und sie können sich automatisch Termine buchen. Eine Integration in mehrere Kalender ist möglich.

Nachteile:

Es ist unübersichtlich zu bedienen. Der Kunde sieht nur ob ein Zeitfenster frei ist oder nicht. Eine Unterteilung in z.B. Abwesenheiten aufgrund von Dienstreisen ist nicht möglich und so muss im Kalender immer der gesamte Tag geblockt werden. Der Funtionsumfang als Free Version ist sehr gering.

Positiv überrascht

Kommentare: Ich war ursprünglich gegen eine Online Terminvereinbarungs App. Ich konnte mir nicht vorstellen dass diese besonders beliebt ist bei potenziellen Kunden. Aber ich habe mich enttäuscht und die app wurde mir empfohlen und es ist wirklich toll, es macht Spass mit der App zu arbeiten und ist erfrischend unkompliziert und benutzerfreundlich.

Vorteile:

Unkompliziert, einfach - lässt sich in die Website einbetten und Lässt sich anpassen

Nachteile:

Ich war absolut zufrieden zu 100%, es gab wirklich nichts zu bemängeln.

The go-to tool for freelancers and small teams

Vorteile:

I love how simplistic it is and it's super easy to use even from non-techies. It also helps me organize my meetings more efficiently (compared to Google Meet for example)

Nachteile:

It becomes expensive if you have a larger team that needs to use it.

Optimizing Business Schedules with Calendly: Insights from a Manager

Kommentare: Generally our involvement in Calendly was Positive. Our principal obstacle at first was dealing with different schedules across different undertakings. Nonetheless, coordinating these into a solitary, effectively shareable schedule through Calendly improved protection while keeping up with openness. It solidified our timetables, saving us the need to allow broad admittance to clients, and improved on our work process. The coordination with existing devices like Google Schedule was consistent. When associated, sharing across groups became easy, adding to a smoother change. Defeating the underlying anxiety of permitting direct reserving through Calendly worked on our efficiency.

Vorteile:

Calendly changed our booking disarray into consistent productivity. Its easy-to-understand arrangement, particularly during the free preliminary, quickly explained its convenience. Sharing booking joins across messages, site, and interchanges became easy, making gatherings a breeze for clients and partners.

Nachteile:

While without a cutoff booking highlight for every particular client email or past appointments block, it doesn't offer arrangement following in light of set numbers per client email, making it marginally prohibitive. In any case, its easy to use interface, despite the fact that having a slight expectation to learn and adapt for those new to schedule administrations, stays simple to explore.

Missing key features, sneaky billing for empty seats

Kommentare: Awful. Lots of lost time and money. Now we need to start over with implementation of another system (likely SavvyCal), plus pay for both for at least a month or two for overlap during the transition.

Vorteile:

It was our first foray into using meeting scheduler links. It was a time saver for scheduling client meetings, and it streamlined communication with clients. No more going back and forth to negotiate dates and times. It was better than Squarespace's built in Acuity forms (at least based on our experience with those in 2021), but that's not saying much.

Nachteile:

There are dozens of other tools out there that provide this same functionality, and Calendly makes zero effort to come out on top. Deal breakers include 1. not being able to edit availability or any other settings for one-off meetings after you click the button (can't count how many times I had to start over from scratch); 2. not relaying the chosen event title to the calendar event; 3. forcing this dumb question "please share anything that will help us prepare" for one-off events, which creates extra work for our clients and makes them think we're not listening; 4. inability to set turnaround for one-off events (so client can book it 20 minutes before the start time); among other flaws. For as much time as it seemed like it was saving us in the beginning, I feel like we now waste at least as much wrestling with these flaws and remaking links. But the final straw for us was that they bill for empty seats. For months, I've been deleting teammates who aren't using it, so we can save money. We pay month to month instead of annually, because we know we're going to switch to another platform. What's the point of paying monthly if you're billed anyway for seats you're not using? There was no warning, no message anywhere to prompt me to delete the empty seat in addition to deleting the user. There was no friendly automated email to say, "Hey you have empty seats - add someone to your team!" I get these kinds of emails from other platforms (platforms where we pay annually and therefore it actually makes sense that we'd end up with empty seats). Calendly knows exactly what they're doing. And "customer service" (lol) is not helpful.

Calendly is the Sherrif of Convinience

Kommentare: On overall I have enjoyed every bit of Calendly. But majorly just how simplistic it is for use. Also it is convenient and valuable for scheduling each and every engagements

Vorteile:

Calendly is definitely the new Sherrif in town. I appreciate that it has a free plan which at the beginning came through for me. The free plan is also quite robust in terms of features and can also upgrade for more powerful features. It was also easy to deploy and adopt in my daily activities because I can access it on my mobile phone or even through the browser . In addition it syncs seamlessly with most common workspace tools but most especially the Google Calendar so that everything ends up centrally and scheduling is much succesful. I have found the round robin feature quite essential which label with priority per assigned members of the SONU ( the student organization). Creation of scheduling links and sharing it with others in just a click plus the customizable notification reminders has made collaboration mesmerizing

Nachteile:

Honestly it's quite a straightforward tool that meet every departments scheduling needs. Also kudos to the technical team that guide you on each step of the way from deployment through the entire experience with Calendly leaving absolutely nothing to challenge any user of Calendly.

it is good but grown too expensive and not really become much better

Kommentare: There is nothing really I am likely to fault about it, it is a decent tool, and the biggest thing about it when working with it is it has reached a level that other people are familiar with and trust it. I would have no problem using it and great when you show up somewhere and they are already using tools you do not need to relearn. But in reality, this is a scheduling tool, not piloting a Boeing 737. I do not think it is that hard to turn away from it, and I think there are cheaper things that do the same or do more.

Vorteile:

It is easy to use and does pretty much all the basic stuff you would want, and it does that well.

Nachteile:

Really it is the pricing and the fact it really seems to just be focussed (maybe for good reason) on the basics and does not seem to do much more than just the basic booking process. Sure, for the most, that is all you want and there is no need to add additional complexity, but then I do feel a bit disappointed I am paying as if it should have more on offer.

Smart and legit software for smart working.

Kommentare: All meetings are set on the correct days and time and all thanks to Calendly.No forgetting appointments like before and you can mark the most important meeting's and make them your priority with this incredible software.

Vorteile:

It's an easy to use software and very flexible to sustain everyone.I always use it for scheduling meetings with Calendly and it has never failed sending invites and reaching your targeted audience, telling them your availability.Has preset schedules that you can easily access easily and quickly.Itd the best you should all use it.

Nachteile:

No complaints against this software,it has been the greatest solution to my struggles.

Put it in PEN

Vorteile:

It's nice to know that your schedule is full but it's also nice to know that you can rely on the time being correct. The customer is in control of their time slot for their appointments. With that feature appointment percentage of cancelled appointments are much less now than they were before. Usually a customer would just settle on a time but now they can book out when they are ready and have it free, resulting in more appointments being kept.

Nachteile:

There not much that is too difficult with this program. I have not found a problem worth remembering.

Great product!

Kommentare: It has been a great experience. I tried similar products and Calendly is just easy. Even the free option is good and sufficient.

Vorteile:

Providing clients and prospective clients the opportunity to schedule their own appointments is helpful to me and them. No more back and forth.

Nachteile:

I do not see anything wrong with the product.

Calendly works great!

Kommentare: Overall, this is easy to set up and easy to teach clients how to use so they can manage their appointments.

Vorteile:

I love how easy it is to set client's up with an easy booking tool. Creating accounts and the set up is fast which is exactly what I need.

Nachteile:

I don't like that the dashboard is "busy". There are a lot of things to click in and out of and when you don't have those features activated it can be annoying to have to always explain, it doesn't work because we don't have that activated.

Easiest way to book meetings

Kommentare: It's been great. I use it for three main purposes. To schedule meetings with clients, to schedule interviews with candidates, and for internal meetings.

Vorteile:

I like its simplicity in using a link to schedule meetings, reducing back-and-forth communication. The features are user-friendly and easy for the other parties to book appointments.

Nachteile:

I wish there were more options to control my availability like being able to add block out times instead of adding date overrides

Calendly Is A Great Business and Personal Productivity Tool

Kommentare: Calendly is a user-friendly scheduling tool that can make scheduling meetings and appointments with others much more efficient. It has really been a game-changer for us at LujaraLab. I get appointments at the time that are convenient for me. Our team also work as convenient because a client can only book based on our availability.

Vorteile:

Calendly has a simple, user-friendly interface that makes it easy for people to schedule meetings with you.Calendly eliminates the need for back-and-forth emails and messages to schedule our meetings at LujaraLab. It automates the scheduling process, saves us time and reduces the chance of scheduling conflicts.The other fantastic thing for us is the advanced analytics and reporting that allows us to track our meeting scheduling activity and make data-driven decisions.We are also able to embed Calendly on our website and sales funnels.

Nachteile:

Calendly does not have the capability to handle recurring events with different schedules for different weeks.There are lots of limitations that come with the free plan, such as a Limited number of integrations, Limited customization options, and Limited analytics and reporting options

If you’re not already using Calendly, start.

Kommentare: Overall adding Calendly has been a massive help in the efficiently and seamlesssness of our team to get meetings or calls scheduled super easily. It really is such a no-brainer type platform, I can only imagine how much time people who aren’t using it waste in everyday.

Vorteile:

Calendly solves so many challenges, for me, my team, and even for our prospects and clients too. The back and forth of looking at calendars, sending days/times of availability, having time zones misinterpreted, the times sent have since been filled, etc etc etc are no more. This is a HUGE time and headache saver!! Not to mention, they’ve added so many incredible integrations that anytime our clients have semi customized needs around scheduling, Calendly is always the first place we check for a solution - and 9 times out of 10 it’s a perfect fit, for a fraction of the cost of custom developing something.

Nachteile:

It’s so hard to put a finger on anything I would improve. Ive been using Calendly for years and didn’t realize how robust some of the integrations were and have become, so maybe some additional education around those would be super beneficial to users like me who didn’t even know how much more they were missing out on.

Great product to save you the time of coordinating schedules with every client individually

Kommentare: I love Calendly. Overall it works well and consistently. It is easy to use for me, my staff, and our clients. I have no major complaints, it does exactly what we need it to do and it does it very well. I highly recommend it.

Vorteile:

I love that I can set up many types of events, give them titles that make sense to me, and color-code them. I also love that I can customize the questions clients will answer when scheduling, and customize the reminders they receive. I also love that I can hide events from my main page, so I can target who I send the link to schedule certain kind of appointments.

Nachteile:

Sometimes when there's a recurring event on my calendar that gets cancelled, my availability in Calendly will still show that time slot as busy. It doesn't happen often, but when it does I have to use a work-around and it takes more time to schedule something into that vacated spot.

Superb calendar management and scheduling.

Kommentare: I was pleasantly surprised by Calendlys performance.
My job has multiple functions, one of which is scheduling for my team and our attorneys. This is often a tedious and daunting task, however Calendly has streamlined the process.
There are drawbacks such as the lack of customer service accessibility and some inconveniences in the way the software is set up.
When analyzing both the pros and cons, it's evident that the pros drastically outweigh the cons.

Vorteile:

If you have a complex schedule or need to manage a complex schedule for someone else, Calendly will be an exceptional asset. The ease of use is wonderful, as is the setup process. It is optimized for online scheduling however it's suited for in person scheduling as well. Rescheduling is dramatically easier with Calendly. Features a client portal, reminders, automated scheduling, team or group calenders, notifications and alerts in real time, and convenient mobile access plus payment processing via third party integrations.

Nachteile:

The one thing that really hinders me are the meeting location options and how they're set up. In person and phone/ video can't be included in the same meeting type. The only other con I've experienced thus far is the customer service and the lack of ease in contacting an actual customer service representative vs the incompetent chat bot.
