Zoho Calendar

Through Zoho Calendar we have been able to organize events such as meetings, trainings or inductions to new staff in a simple way, just share the URL of our private calendar to provide access to scheduled events, this simplifies the task of sending mass emails to all staff to grant access to such meetings, the tool has certain features that make it very reliable and at the same time indispensable for a work group whose purpose is to optimize operating times, here Zoho Calendar comes into play because, with the collaboration of individual and group calendars it is possible to adjust the availability spaces in an effective way, in addition, it allows the differentiation between calendars to avoid confusion of assignment and also enables the assignment of personalized notifications according to each taste.

For some colleagues or co-workers who have traveled to other countries have presented some difficulties regarding event notifications due to the time difference, Zoho Calendar allows the adjustment of the time zone according to the location and thus synchronize correctly to the rest of the work team, this for some people goes unnoticed until the moment they realize such a mismatch, a reminder or alert of change of location would solve these events.

Zoho Calendar has gotten a big UI revamp and now looks very clean nice modern. It's easy to use and integrates nicely with Zoho Mail. External calendars can be integrated as well.

Collaboration with Outlook is quite bad. Declined meeting invites are not being delivered, recurring event invitations don't work, moving calendar invites to different calendars doesn't seem to be possible.

I like the ease with which I can use it and how simple it is to implement. Zoho Calendar allows us to easily plan and schedule all important events in our work and non-work environment, such as: webinars and conferences, training for new operations, team meetings every month, and even birthday parties of colleagues and bosses, I also find it very useful to be up to date and organized with deadlines for completion and delivery of assigned tasks. Zoho Calendar helps me not to forget scheduled appointments with clients when their services require special follow-up; through the shared calendar the whole team is in sync and informed of upcoming events even if last minute changes are made, which is useful for everyone to be aligned on the same page. Last but not least its seamless integration with Zoho Meeting, Zoho Projects and Zoho Mail which are tools of recurrent use in our support department.

So far I have not found anything to dislike about Zoho Calendar, there have been no issues during all the time we have been using this tool, it is quite functional and meets all our needs.

In our work team there are frequent meetings, training on new adaptations and processes, socialization of indicators and feedback from the quality control area, all this demands a clear organization of our times which do not interfere with each other, Zoho Calendar and its focus on collaboration helped us to organize our time and thanks to the subscription of other calendars we can view the availability of time of our coworkers and other areas involved in scheduled meetings, also draws much attention the ability to adjust the time zone for some colleagues who are working remotely in another country and thanks to this feature notifications are synchronized without any inconvenience.

The functions for which Zoho Calendar was implemented are specific and punctual within the work group and in each of the cases it behaves 100%, having already a considerable time of use we have not observed unfavorable points with respect to our needs; perhaps when implementing new processes where we involve more advanced functions of Zoho Calendar we can further evaluate the tool, for now it meets all expectations.
