Pros/Cons
Pros
- I like the brilliant features of Acuity Scheduling. Acuity Scheduling is amazing and reliable.
- Super easy to use for me and my clients. Everyone has been super impressed with how easy it is to use.
- There is also an API, with pretty good documentation. And my favourite part is that if you get stuck, the support team are friendly, responsive and more than happy to help.
Cons
- When a patient cancels, there is only one alert and completely disappears from the calendar without warning.
- I came very close to losing clients over their frustration in trying to figure out the startup process. One of the weakest points in this software is the fact that there is no "customer facing" help.
- Sometimes my clients wouldn't remember the time properly, or I would forget to write it down. Now the appointment times are clear, and there is no way for us to forget or get the timing confused.
Pros
- Overally, I love Calendly and would recommend it to anyone. The best part about Calendly is the ability to integrate, the fact that it's user-friendly, and the ability to automate everything.
- It improves the relationship between the customer and us by giving them the freedom to choose an exchange day that suits their calendar. It's a godsend to use Calendly.
- Absolutely love Calendly and highly recommend to anyone needing an online meeting scheduler. Super aesthetically pretty and so easy to use.
Cons
- I found that some people - notably older clients - had trouble navigating the software on their end. If your clients are less than technologically literate, this might be a problem for you too.
- Hard to think of things that I don't like about this tool. I think for some people on the team, they struggle to use the tool due to complexity, but I find this an issue with most tools.
- Ultimately I don't know if there is anyway around it, but configuring each user and their preferences for email confirmation/schedules, etc. can be a pain for the administrator.
