What do you like best about Acuity Scheduling?

Flexible configuration options.

Suitable for very small business Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acuity Scheduling?

1) The Acuity website crashes if you try to export more than a handful of appointments. This is a long-standing known issue with no timeline for a resolution. This makes it almost impossible to get your data out of Acuity to use on another platform unless you pay for an API subsciption. It also makes it near-impossible to get your data out and move to one of their competitors.

2) If a client makes a booking with the same name as an existing client, Acuity will treat them as one client and merge their records. For a busy business, this situation is inevitable and will cause chaos when your older client receives emails relating to the new client. Acuity support regards this as "expected behaviour".

What do you like best about Acuity Scheduling?

Acuity scheduling has been an essential tool for the execution if my role. It is well curated into a simplified UI which made it soo easy for us to configure, implement, use and manage it all these time. It delivers a wide range of features and flexibility who h enable us to schedule different types of appointments from client meetups, group calls and many other. Acuity Scheduling customization capabilities are topnotch allowing us to reschedule, cancel and add appointments and make the necessary changes on our calendars. Our clients just have to download the app and they can send appointment links directly from acuity via email and those without my email usually send via the website because we have the scheduler embedded on our website. Acuity Scheduling comprehensivity is on another level. With features like attaching backup documents and forms on schedules, sending followup and reminder emails which makes coordination of schedules successful. I haven't experienced any other tool that integrates with so many softwares like Acuity Scheduling. It syncs with Google Calendar , CRM and PayPal so that we can seamlessly accept payments on Acuity Scheduling. Lastly this tool is reasonable priced with soo much benefits than we expected Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acuity Scheduling?

Though Acuity Scheduling is an impeccably good tool. We made a choice to move to calendly because Calendly offers even more integrations with virtual meeting tools than Acuity Scheduling. It therefore becomes an issue to automatically send out invite links with Zoom, GoogleMeet, Ms Teams or GoTo Meet So if it would accomodate a wide variety of online meeting tools it would be even better. Another problem we encountered was being unable to merge accounts for different businesses under one Acuity Calendar. Syncing different calendars is a big deal or even having multiple users under one Acuity profile Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acuity Scheduling solving and how is that benefiting you?

Acuity Scheduling has simplified the process of scheduling appointments. It is convenient for us and our clients to coordinate and set up appointments. Integrating it with my calendar ensures that once there is a scheduled event at a certain time it automatically block off availability on the Acuity. This eliminates double bookings and back and forth emails. Effective and smooth scheduling saves us time and help me focus on personalized attendance to all my individual clients. This way I have had productive days since we deployed Acuity Scheduling. It helps plan and prepare for my video shoots, editing sessions delivering exemplary support to my clients. Off work having well laid out appointment schedules is one way to strike my work life balance. That beyond working hours I will be attending to personal issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acuity Scheduling?

The client facing view is easy for clients to use to choose their own appointment times. I like the ability to have Acuity try to group appointments together. It also allows us to set that we only want a certain number of a type of appointment in a given week (no more than 4 new client consultations per week, for example). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acuity Scheduling?

It integrates with Zoom, so it will create Zoom links for particular appointment types. Unfortunately, you cannot have this trigger based on a custom field. In our use case, it means we had to set our appointment types as Zoom, Phone, and In Person, so that only Zoom appointments get Zoom links. We'd rather set up our appointment types by meeting topic (New Client Consult, for example) and allow the client to choose the Zoom/Phone/InPerson from there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acuity Scheduling solving and how is that benefiting you?

Clients quickly and easily book and reschedule their own appointments and receive reminders, and we're able to keep internal notes attached to each appointment. It's easy to re-book or reschedule a client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acuity Scheduling?

I love how you can sync the appointments with your calendar for both the owner and for clients. I like how it offers another layer for my clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acuity Scheduling?

Pricing is on the higher end scale of what I would want to purchase for a scheduling app where I am also currently testing another scheduling app to possibly change over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acuity Scheduling solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps keep each of my appointments in both a 1:1 setting and group to be easy for clients to book Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acuity Scheduling?

Easy sign up process for clients, specifically for group workshops that I sell individual tickets for. Confirmation and reminder emails with details make it easy. Mobile version in particular has helped level up the look and feel of my website (most of my clients use their phone to book, via instagram) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acuity Scheduling?

The one thing I wish I could do is include more than one picture for my workshops. Because I sell visual art workshops, this would be a plus but not necessary for me at the moment, my website is comprehensive enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acuity Scheduling solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time saved. On the back end, I can scheudle my weekly and monthly workshops, automate reminders via email and have it run on autopilot. If I need to edit anything at all, it's super user friendly with the Squarespace integration. Great for my art studio with a small team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acuity Scheduling?

Acuity allows students to easily book time with our tutors, it automatically connects with my google calendar and is easy to navigate. Acuity provides direct links to users to give out, it also has embed codes. In my department we have 3 tutors that work together, it is extremely easy to re-schedule students and move them to someone elses calendar when needed.

I use this everyday to keep up with appointments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One things I do not like is that when I cancel an appointment, it completely disappears from the calendar. I wish it would stay on there but gray out or something like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Acuity keeps all of my appointments in one place and provides a central location for students to book tutoring sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acuity Scheduling?

Hands down the integration with other softwares is the best feature here! The ease of use and user-friendly interface is a close second.

We use this tool for our everyday client booking, business meetings, and online scheduling through our website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Acuity is helpful in many aspects. It is the tool that we use to schedule meeting with clients and prospects. We also use it to schedule meetings internally. Easy to use!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acuity Scheduling?

One thing I dislike about acuity is that it doesn't automatically put the event on the calendar (or send a calendar .ics invite), you have to click the button to add the event to your calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
