Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros ScheduleOnce has saved our office so much time. I have 20+ meetings per week, and our office schedules 50+ appointments each week - ScheduleOnce has replaced the manual process of scheduling, making it easy and simple to make, confirm, reschedule and cancel appointments instantly. ScheduleOnce also integrates with video conferencing software, so virtual locations are automatically generated as appointments are confirmed. ScheduleOnce syncs with your calendar (or you can use it without syncing to a calendar), has customizable booking forms and sends customized confirmation and reminder emails. ScheduleOnce also comes with InviteOnce, which I have not used. Cons It's a bit tedious to set up the calendars and appointment types in ScheduleOnce, but this is the case with any calendaring solution. The investment in time really pays off. You can re-use event templates, booking forms, etc. The reporting on booked appointments is lacking. For example, if I'm booking 20 appointments in one day, there isn't a way to run a quick report that shows all 20 appointments in an Excel file. The event bookings do show up in an activity feed and search, which can both be filtered, and, if your calendar is synched, will appear on the calendar.		Pros from Real Users Pros The best part of this software is that you can handle all of it from your phone as if you were just texting someone. If someone hops on your website and has any questions or concerns a notification comes up on the bottom corner of the page providing a way for the visitor to contact the company. These messages do go straight to the phone of the the individual over the website, which makes the communication personable and quick. Podium has an excellent interface; it has a high quality in sending files, I can send images or audios without losing quality. Besides that, I use it to create more effective communication and with guaranteed security conditions. Podium cloud is incredible for storing information. This is by far the best review gathering platform for Google around. I think they are actually backed by Google. To get all your reviews from different platforms makes it easier and saves time in the process. A very user friendly app which is easy to set up. It makes interactions easy. Using only one platform we can reply to each and every messages. Google, Facebook, Instagram we can easily connect with our customer on any platform using this software. Responses very quickly. Simple and easy to use. Also we can check the history of any customers interaction. Easy to use for both admins & users Efficient Review tracking Great dashboard for comprehensive view Integration with many platforms like Google, Facebook Automated Review invites feature Responsive customer service The interface for both the administrator and customer is very simple and attractive. I can easily send someone a review invite in within few seconds that goes directly to the customer's phone. It's very effective and quick. Clients can leave Google locals and Facebook review with some clicks. Which makes your business get recognized. Attractive and clean overall user interface. Easy to respond on negative feedback. We've used this with a lot of our clients and it's a great way to send out sms reviews on the go and live chat on your website. Easy to use and very simplistic. Encompasses everything you'd need to set up reviews to gather from customers.
