AN Anonymous User Manager of Customer Success Telecommunications ### "Basic Calendaring" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 January 4, 2020 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.

AN Anonymous User Photographer Media Production ### "A useful and sleek tool for appointment scheduling." 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 October 22, 2019 I have used some appointment scheduling software and this is one of the simples to use. Basic UI and very comfortable workflow. 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.

Shared my link and saw listed meetings popping up on my dashboard very nice. 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 need powerful online scheduling for my company and found freebusy. This is simple to set up and the template helps me to get online very fast. It really doesn't need any customisation, just plug and play. I just send my partner and him able to create a test schedule and it workes out of the box. Creating an appointment on behalf of a client who can't use their smartphone is a really big plus point. I can customize my page with my logo and backgrounds which is a personal touch. Cons The programmer work flawlessly. Nothing to dislike sorry.

Interim Director Museums and Institutions ### "Doesn't stay in one time zone" 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 1/10 May 15, 2019 Pros The free version is robust enough for my needs, and if it worked properly, would have been a great solution to the endless stream of emails between folx looking to schedule meetings. Cons Between me and those I sought to schedule meetings with, FreeBusy frequently bounced back and forth between my time zone (Eastern) and Universal Coordinated Time. This made it \*very\* confusing—for myself, and those unfamiliar with the software that I was trying to wean onto it. I did reach out to their customer support but, at the free tier, responses were few and far between—and not enough to solve any problems.

VR Vinay R. Product Owner Consumer Electronics ### "Excellent way to stay organized and stay connected" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 23, 2019 To organize meetings with multiple people, I would waste a lot of time finding when they are available. The FreeBusy software makes it much easier to find the available options. Pros What I liked about the product is that it delivers what it promises. While there are many competitors I found others lacking in feature. Integration with other productivity apps makes this a 5 star product. This saves time by letting me connect multiple accounts Cons Does not work with Gmail as promised. The chrome browser extension is buggy. Would want alexa integration back.
