It sends out the Zoom meeting links and they mostly work (which is a miracle). I am just glad that I do not have to hand enter every invitation anymore. > > **Cons**: I do not like that it does not allow easy management of multiple separate business accounts under one account profile without going crazy. It is far better than that last piece of software I used which caused me to merge two different clients together by accident because both client names were the same. This caused quite the circus. > > It stops me from having to chase down a student or client via email for 3-4 days to find 10 minutes to discuss anything. All of the information regarding meetings etc, gets placed into my CRM automatically, no additional steps required. It prevents me from being double booked while I am away from the office. The workshops are kept organized even though the mobile version of the software has some weird design choices. ----- ### "Calendly makes it work\!" — 4.0/5 > **Claire** | *26 March 2026* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that Calendly lets me created appointments with people both in and outside of my organization. > > **Cons**: I wish that Calendly offered more events for the free version, but overall I am happy with how it works. > > Overall, I enjoy using Calendly for scheduling appointments. It's pretty simple to set up and allows for an easy user experience. ----- ### "Innovative and Best Tool in Market" — 5.0/5 > **Rajesh** | *3 February 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is free and quiet innovative. They are the pioneer in this space. Simple to use and does reduce the overhead of back and froth of scheduling meetings especially with strangers and prospects. > > **Cons**: Rescheduling and level of control is not similar to say Outlook. It does not show the exact contact information of the prime user. > > I like Calendly for its features, simplicity and innovative nature. I wonder why no one thought about it before. ----- ### "Calendly is pretty danged good\! It does what it needs to" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 March 2026* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's convenient, it integrates well with Google and other calendar systems. Clients/students/anyone can book apppointments easily. There are customizations available > > **Cons**: It's a little clunky on the backend; you can customize things but only so much. The round robin feature is good, but more complicated than needed. ----- Page: 1 / 165\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/73632/calendly?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/73632/calendly) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
