Doodle

Pros

It's very user friendly. I was able to quickly teach others on past teams how to use it.

Cons

I don't really have any suggestions. I enjoyed it as it was and thought the price made sense.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Doodle

Pros

I loved how easy it was to use. I use it to send out polls to a group of meeting to schedule a meeting that suits everyone's needs.

Cons

Some people that were of older demographic did not find it user friendly - I personally didn't understand but I was always the creator of the polls so perhaps the platform showed differently for me.

Pros

I liked that the interface was rather intuitive for participants.

Cons

I did not like that it took a very long time to input some rather basic decision criteria, and that the number of options was limited for the free version at a relatively low value.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Doodle

Pros

I love that the free plan has features that I can use without paying.

Cons

The customer support is not the best and would like it to improve.

Pros

I like how easy it is to use and deploy a doodle poll.

Cons

Some of the features like calendar sync don't always work, which has sent me looking for another product before.

Pros

Doodle is a great and easy way to capture availabilities of contacts quickly for an event. It syncs nicely with your chosen calender and shows your own availability prior to sending out.

Cons

As with all good things, they eventually have some pain points. The UI has had some changes which doesnt dlow as well as previous versions, plus the free vs premium capability gap has grown (free feature reduction rather than premium feature introduction).

Pros

It has immensely reduced the time I used to spend scheduling meetings.

Cons

I don't have any complaints. It has satisfied all of y needs thus far.

Pros

I love how you are able to provide your team with options by sending them a Doodle. It saves on sending numerous emails back and forth resulting in some people forgetting to "Reply to All".

Cons

It would be nice if Doodle had more options on their free plan.

Pros

Doodle is a super handy product for getting a bunch of people to decide on a single date.

Cons

Some of our (much older) board members struggle with it - but that's probably more a reflection on them than the app.

Pros

Accessibility to many audiences and ability to integrate your calendar to ensure you don't double book.

Cons

Time zones can sometimes be tricky if they are set automatically and you don't notice/correct it.

Pros

I have used Doodle for nearly ten (10) years, both in my current role and as part of a my role in government administration. I have always loved how easy it is to implement Doodle into any team project and to use it for scheduling meetings and appointments.

Cons

I have a difficult time finding anything that I don't like about this software. It has continued to evolve to meet my needs from being an employee of another agency to running my own practice with clients.

Pros

How easy it makes scheduling meeting with a group as you can see team members availability

Cons

It is one of the more expensive softwares available

Pros

I love the fact that I can most of the features and functions that I require in my daily business running's are free. I also appreciate the fact that I can sync it with Google calendar and access my appointments and information on the go. And not to mention how much of a time saver it is.

Cons

I wish it was a little easier to sue and optimize for new/beginner users; and also more added functional features on the free version.

Pros

I regularly recommend Doodle when I have a large number of people trying to schedule a meeting - especially when I have people with very busy schedules. It is easy for people to put in their availability and allow the organizer to find the best time that works for everyone without having to send a million emails or texts.

Cons

It can be hard to see all the options in the expanded view.

Pros

It was fun to experiement and crested some interesting graphics. It was easy to use and intuitive.

Cons

This is not necessarily a failure of the product but I could never fogure the best way to leverage it to my business.

Pros

With doodle you are able to send your team options for a meeting time. Each participant is then able to input their availability based on the dates provided. Once everyone has responded to the poll you can then see which date and time works best for your team. Gone are the days of checking everyone's calendar to find time to meet!

Cons

I cant think of anything negative to say about doodle. I have had great experiences using it

Pros

I like that Doodle allows for easy meeting scheduling.

Cons

I least liked that on the free plan, Doodle doesn't notify when a participant chooses a meeting time

Pros

I love being able to utilize this platform for free and being able to collect the needed availability of my Subject Matter Experts.

Cons

I have not experienced anything that I dislike.

Pros

Ease of use
Layout of software
Different options (email, link...)

Cons

Nothing not to like, it's a very simple software

Pros

My favorite thing about Doodle is how scheduling is incredibly easy and the visual it provides when viewing the available of a large amount of people is so helpful.

Cons

Doodle is awesome, I can't think of one con. In the 10+ years I have used Doodle they have done so many updates and I'm always excited to see what's new and improved.

Pros

It's a unique program to get input from stakeholders for meeting preferences. It's much more streamlined than email at finding a common preferred appointment time for a large group.

Cons

The setup is not intuitive and it's easy to make important mistakes, like not having it toggled to the correct time zone, if you aren't careful.

Pros

Most people are fairly familiar with the interface and how it works. I think that limiting free features, like anonymity, is always a downer, but still good for what it’s for and intuitive to most.

Cons

It’s been stripped to bare bones features for the free version and I do miss the anonymous feature.

Pros

Wow, love this tool as a quick means of navigating multiple complex schedules.

Cons

More automation and the ability to have reminders would be great.

Pros

The colourful interface and the poll option.

Cons

Too many features that I already have with main calendar to make it worthwhile for me.

Pros

When it comes to scheduling meeting Doodle is one of the best

Cons

Nothing much since I was able to see the upcoming meetings.
