What do you like best about Doodle?

Doodle is very simple even if you are a new user. You can quickly establish unlimited time selections that everybody is able to see, and most notably, many other people that pick the free time of theirs is able to see the number of individuals are still free and make use of this info to better select dates for most people! Particularly in case you're preparing a last minute staff meeting, Doodle is actually the ideal solution to allow everybody see the schedule and select the proper time.

What do you like best about Doodle?

I love that I can use my boss's calendar to schedule a doodle. It saves me so much time because he has a busy calendar. It has really come in handy since COVID 19 when scheduling ZOOM or Google G-Suite calls. His calendar is always full, and changes daily. Without Doodle it would be impossible to schedule his meeting calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodle?

Only I'm not too fond of Doodle when I have to schedule weekly or bi-weekly doodle polls and have to type in every day manually. (i.e., the first Wednesday of each month, or the second Tuesday, but every two weeks). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Doodle solving and how is that benefiting you?

It keeps me from wasting time trying to compare my boss's calendar with a scheduled doodle poll. Using the Doodle poll makes my job easier and my work more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Doodle?

I can schedule my meeting, or other events, simply by typing the candidate time slots, shooting emails to the participates, and waiting for their response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodle?

I really hate waiting for a long time and still no one fills in my Doodle. I have met such situation for many times and have also considered the reason behind it. This usually happens for "busy" participants. Unfortunately, it is usually the case that you are eager to resolve as well. Given the feature that you have to determine the candidate time slots in advance, if you are too conservative, which means you create just few time slots, then the participants may not be able to pick even one available slot. Also, it is harder to find an overlap. On the other hand, if you are aggressive, say, propose tons of time slots, the participants may just refuse to fill in your Doodle. Furthermore, marking a time slot as available is somewhat a "promise" to you that he/she could be available at that time. Therefore, people generally tend to not fill in too many available slots, simply because they don't want you to "occupy" all their free time, before you make the final decision. Personally, I think this is a huge problem of Doodle but to be honest, I have no idea to improve it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Doodle:

Whether Doodle is easy to use or not highly depends on your meeting participants. Many people are not willing to fill in Doodle and are still more used to exchange emails for scheduling an event. I would suggest only using Doodle when you are confident that your participants are responsive enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Doodle solving and how is that benefiting you?

When I need to schedule an event with multiple (typically > 3) participates, Doodle would be a good tool to make the schedule. Sometimes it makes things more smooth than just exchanging emails with every participant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Couple of times I have faced issues about the editing of the time block, it is very easy to set up the time frame but to make changes is very difficult. Moreover it is expensive software.

What do you like best about Doodle?

Ease of use, simple sharing. It's very easy to set up campaigns, and extremely easy to share links with multiple people. I like the fact you can quickly set up multiple polls or date selections. Most people who use the polls or surveys find it fairly simple to use and I tend to get responses back quickly and have always met deadlines for setting up meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodle?

The display of results is convoluted, ugly. If you don't pay for the premium account, the barrage of ads is really distracting and downright spammy looking. I bought the premium version and am much happier with it and don't feel like I'm overwhelming the users with unnecessary information. People have told me it's hard to read the poll results and the way it horizontally scrolls is very non-user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Doodle:

If you can, purchase the premium version to get rid of the ads, your employees will thank you. Plus it just makes the experience easier and less frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Doodle solving and how is that benefiting you?

Doodle is a fantastic tool for finding the best date or times for events, calls, interactions. I always get results quickly and it allows me to schedule meetings in a much easier fashion than back-and-forth emails or other tools I've tried. I've realized the experience on mobile is better than on the desktop, the display is just easier on the eyes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodle?

Doodle could create a word cloud from surveys, which would be a very useful function, since very useful and intuitive subsets can be detached, to acquire data at surprising scales, and thus promote a better flow in most of the functions that are performed internally on this platform, mentioning that this software is apparently not translated into several languages, which means that it is limited to the countries in which it operates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Doodle:

Doodle is the best when working to involve remote partners in various national geographic sectors where time differences are a factor that must be taken into account, highlighting that it automatically schedules specific hours, adapting to the environments of each member that uses this software and is enabled to conduct video conferencing, mentioning that this system is also excellent when you are working to narrow down the new options to adopt to advance your current tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Doodle solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Doodle to plan agreed dates for the meetings to be held and it has a very important meaning, since we mostly use it when these conferences are of high convenience, whether for business, or talks on increasing infrastructure, large losses that require solutions, and among other qualities discussed in these business meetings, underlining that this system is also used in all departments of our company, to eliminate the barriers and inconvenience of contacting potential attendees, by email or voice mailboxes.

What do you like best about Doodle?

I'm tired of asking groups of people when they're free so I can schedule meetings. This platform (both free and paid) makes it easy to find consensus. It's a pity that calendaring services like Google or Microsoft don't offer aa feature like what Doodle does (of course, internally, if you can view your colleague's calendars, you can use a "find a time" tool, but if you're working across teams/organizations, or people don't have all of their agendas in one calendar, you're not getting an accurate reading to begin with, and you're back to square one.) There's an iOS app, which is great for quick reviews on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodle?

Sometimes the interface isn't 100% clear on what actions are going to take place (i.e., the interface could use some language tweaks or be more explicit in lieu of being overly concise). Also, and this is not Doodle's problem: the participants might overlook/ignore notifications from the platform, making the entire exercise futile. Sometimes the matrix expands poorly in mobile, which makes it tough to navigate and scroll. That could use some work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Doodle:

Keep in mind that this tool is great when trying to get answers from people via a poll/survey matrix. It's only as good as your participants' ability to answer. If they ignore the Doodle sent to them, then the service won't give you the data you need (just like a survey). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Doodle solving and how is that benefiting you?

When working with teams across multiple companies where I can't see everyone's availability, asking via Doodle helps take all of the logistical problems out of my hands. Even better at the end, when all submissions are in place, I can then easily see a graphic representation as a matrix of who's available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
