Pros

Zcal est une bonne alternative à Calendly, qui est la solution la plus complète du marché, mais reste relativement chère pour une équipe étendue. Pour une gestion de prise de rendez-vous, sous Outlook ou Google Agenda, il est amplement suffisant.

Cons

Pour un usage avancé, la présence d'une API publique ou de webhook publiant les évènements auraient été un plus

Je suis ravie de cet outil simple, fonctionnel et personnalisable.

Pros

Très ergonomique, très facile à utiliser. Une version gratuite vraiment performante qui permet de monter en puissance dans son utilisation et son besoin avant de basculer, le moment venu, sur une version payante adaptée.

Cons

Je n'ai pas réussi à l'intégrer à mon calendrier Titan liée à wordpress.

Version gratuite trop limitée, je voulais un peu plus de fonctionnalités avant de basculer sur une version payante

Pros

I love that Zcal links to my google calendar and zoom accounts and will send the meeting invite through zoom and syncs to my google calendar when a parent schedules with me.

Cons

It can be a a little tedious when creating a new Zcal link for ongoing weekly scheduling. I wish there was an easier way to do that.

Pros

I like to be able to make as many as booking pages and make changes inside them. I'm a fan of customizations and ZCal does a good job to approach this for its users.

Cons

I don't like the branding everywhere, they always have a branding, the email customizations and form customization is a bit limited and is not flexible.

Limits on TidyCal was a lot more, and at the time, they did not support 2-way sync.

Pros

I like being able to put in a booking link so people can find a date/time that they want to meet with me. It integrates with Zapier. It is free. It has almost all the bells and whistles of paid products out there.

Cons

Still trying to figure out how to connect with my meeting software that doesn't have zapier connection yet. But I think it does integrate with the major ones.

Having in mind the easy of use and the speedy configuration process I am always recommending zcal when I am asked for a good meeting scheduler.

Pros

Very easy to use and straight-forward process of setting up your account. The integrations with Google and Zoom are easy to connect. Generating the meeting url will not take me more than 10 seconds.

Cons

The thing I least like about the app is that the mobile app crashed a few times during use, but this could be from my phone security settings.

Overall much more aesthetically pleasing than its competitor and does what I need. I can see how it would be useful for other applications, though my need is very basic.

Pros

I found zcal when I realized Doodle no longer allowed appointments less than 30 minutes (I needed 20 minute timeslots). Once I figured out how it worked, it has been seamless and user-friendly. Alerts were helpful, and I did a test to figure out how to delete a booking to re-open that time slot.

Cons

I needed this software for scheduling appointments at a 1-day event with three 20-min slots per hour. It is a bit confusing for the user because they have to navigate the calendar to the event date, but once they select that date, it is straightforward.

It has been great using zcal to book meetings.

Pros

I liked the full features you get from the freemium offer. You can integrate your zoom app and Google Meet to offer your guests a choice of booking location.

Cons

Still lacking a proper reminder system. I would love for that to be built properly but I also know it's a matter of time.
