    So far the best scheduling assistant I've found

    It helped a lot with ease of scheduling meetings: i let people choose the time from my agenda whenever I have it free without letting them know what I am doing exactly. Handy.

    Pros:
    I use a lot of calendars from different sources - icloud, google, exchange etc. and my agenda does look like hell. When it comes to scheduling a meeting with someone, I could just give a link to my freebusy profile and the counterpart can just find what time suits them best. The biggest plus is the variety of calendars that can be attached to freebusy profile.

    Basic Calendaring

    4

    It solved an issue with calendaring with customers - the time consuming task of the back and forth to schedule. Put the customer at the wheel with scheduling when it works for them. It integrates with meetin tools (such as RingCentral) thus creating/populating the meeting bridge information seamlessly.

    Pros:
    I like the ability to create teams of people - we want to show availability of more than one person and only allow selection of an appt time if all people are available. It make it easier to put the scheduling in the customers hands than the back and forth and checking multiple calendars.
    Cons:
    Unless you set up more than one calendar link, you can't specify an agenda for meetings. Or have an option to allow the customer to select preset agendas.

    Cons:
    People who create an appt with me don't get default instructions about how to reach me! I'd like to offer several canned kinds of meetings with different lengths and instructions

    Pros:
    I shared the link with the client and my client able to create a meeting without my supervision, nice. It is really simple and doesn't need any type of registration on the client side, very useful. It is relatively simple to set up for the first time. I just shared the link with the client and they are able to make their own appointment if not I can do for them. Rescheduling is also very easy. There also an option to cancel the schedule. All the basic features of a scheduler are present and very much easy and usable.
    Cons:
    All the web conferencing services are revised for the premium user, which is not that of an issue for me. But having one free web conferencing will better for my business.

    Pros:
    I like the simplicity of this application, it is very fast and easy for the customer to make an appointment. Integration with google account and google calendar is really important so I don't have to install another test app on my phone. It just gets the image from my Gmail account and shows on the registration form which is really good as I don't have to upload it. Creating a meeting on behalf of a client is also very simple, just add my email address and fill some basic info and all is done, very simple.
    Cons:
    I can not update the URL which my client use and uses my email as an endpoint. I am not very confident to share with unknown people.

    Pros:
    Set it and forget it. Versatile digital scheduling assistant. Updated frequently; good support. Workflow has been very thoroughly thought out and designed. The ability to put into one free-busy feed calendars from different services (Google, Apple, Microsoft) is nothing short of amazing.
    Cons:
    Group scheduling with a bunch of people not in your organization is slightly better than just doing it old-school by email, but this is a somewhat new feature for FreeBusy and I have all confidence that the developers will fine-tune and improve it.

    Pros:
    I LOVE that I can connect multiple calendars and share out my calendar availability without disclosing my personal information. I use this for scheduling meetings across timezones and even for user interviews.
    Cons:
    The group calendar is hard to figure out. I'd like to use it, but it takes a bit to understand. I would like to create custom pages that have preset titles and description for specific scheduling uses.

    This app is wonderful because I do not have to worry about the meetings anymore, every time that I have a free space and I have an appointment the app set the meeting and the event for me automatically, it is just great.
    Cons:
    You need to have your calendar always updated because if you have a free space the app automatically will fill up with a meeting, so you need to be careful with your calendar all the time.

    That I am in control of approving the proposed times and I issue the calendar invitation. With other systems if the other party cancelled it did not come off of my calendar.
    Cons:
    That you sometimes have to do a multistep login even though you stay on the same computer. It should just combine into one step.
