What do you like best about Acuity Scheduling?

Acuity gives a lot of flexibility with scheduling options, and works very well for sign-ups for group events such as classes and service appointments. The platform allows you to add names to an event roster manually, or offer coupon codes for specific events or classes, etc. It is a perfect fit for my class registration and roster management needs. It is also very nicely integrated with other services such as Stripe and Zoom and always works smoothly. They also have great user support and a positive attitude!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acuity Scheduling?

I haven't run into any issues or downsides for the functionality that I have needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The most helpful functionality for me is the ability to manually edit the roster of attendees for classes, especially when I want to invite a special guest or assistant who wouldn't need to pay the course fee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acuity Scheduling?

Collect payments, integrates with Zoom easily. Client can download their app to schedule appointments, and sends you notifications on mobile and email. The notifications are instant, and you get a duplicate email showing exactly what the client sees. You also can set up subscriptions, send gift certificates, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acuity Scheduling?

The email functionality - while powerful - can be confusing. There is a bit of learning to maximize what Acuity can do, and I've found myself occasionally asking colleagues for help occassionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

They have integrated with Squarespace, and I've noticed no change in functionality or usage. They seem to be improving their online help Q&A section, which can answer most questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's accessible, I can schedule appointments with company employees, set it up and integrate it with my website, even connect it to the Facebook pixel for ad tracking and performance.

I recommend integrating it with your website and Facebook pixel to improve your ad performance and get better bookings at a low cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acuity Scheduling?

It's largely bug-free. It has so many features it's likely to fit the needs of your business, even complex needs. It's been around for awhile as well, so it's solidly built. Acuity also has timezone support for both employees and clients. So everyone gets to see their appointments in THEIR time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acuity Scheduling?

They don't really make improvements. I haven't seen it change in years, despite different needs in the current web market. Their API is very limited as well, so not much integrating can happen. They have a subscription option, but no hidden page or option to add content to that subscription, so it's essentially meaningless. They've also been much less responsive since Squarespace bought them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Multiple timezone support, very easy to use interface for both employees and customers, easy to embed, packages and discounts. This has also had much fewer bugs than previous software that we've used for scheduling. It just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acuity Scheduling?

The ease of use is by far its best feature. You can come in with zero CRM and zero CS experience and use this and it'll stick to you like the back of your hand. It was the perfect solution for me for scheduling, booking, calendar management, and keeping track of client appointments. The search engine is incredibly responsive, not case sensitive, either. I can pull client info easily, track appointment changes, and do a variety of other things. The questionnaire setup was simple, as well. It automatically showed you times in your time zone, which I appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acuity Scheduling?

The UI is crunchy. It's not intuitive, and the submenus sometimes don't load properly. If you ban a piece of information that was user-submitted, you don't have the option to blacklist any new information people submit, making blocking and banning cumbersome. I feel like if I dug into it as an admin, I'd be hitting roadblocks left and right, especially in the beginning. Integrations tend to break from time to time, which sucks. But overall, not bad at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acuity Scheduling:

It'll get the job done. Keep things as simple as you can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I used it to book appointments with client, manage my appointment calendar, book meetings using an integration, and manage clients and interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

People can schedule with me anytime even if I'm sleeping! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acuity Scheduling?

Acuity scheduling is a great solution for complex scheduling needs such as different calendars of availability for different team members/locations, group events, and customizable intake forms for different events. With a paid plan, you can also accept payments upon booking, which is great for anyone who provides consulting, coaching, or subscription services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acuity Scheduling?

Over the years as I've implemented Acuity for clients, there were times when glitches arose within the product itself. However, not significant enough that we stopped using the product, we just had to find workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acuity Scheduling:

To set up a robust system within Acuity takes a time investment, but once systems are in place, it gets easier to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The scheduling page on Acuity is excellent for presenting a professional appearance and saving time. By sharing a simple link, I've saved hours of time and acquired leads faster!

Imagine this:

A lead reaches out to inquire about your services

You respond and include your scheduling link to set up a consultation

They pick a time

They complete an intake form that will provide you with all the information you need from them prior to the consultation

They get a confirmation email with an option to add the appointment to their own calendar, along with a Zoom link in the confirmation email that was automatically generated via an integration

Seamless! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
