Chose Zoho Calendar
The other software I used when Zoho Calendar was having issues was by far a much better option. The business I was working for at the time chose Zoho Calendar because it was a cheaper alternative and served basic functions that were useful to my superiors. After using the …

Especially if they use apple devices, I would recommend this over other cloud based calendars for its tight integration with apple devices. You can generally add events by simply highlighting the relevant information and adding to the calendar. Or Apple mail will often automatically detect an event and give to the option to add it to your iCal with a single click of a button.

It is good for office use for keeping track of meetings and various important events. It is very nice to share a calendar with the whole team and the whole team has access to it, everyone can modify and update events. Furthermore, it is less appropriate when you use it on mobile, and it also cannot record the meetings.

It allows me to set multiple reminders before a meeting
When I add an address it automatically links to Apple Maps so I can see where i am going and also how long it will take me. I can easiy click on the link and it will start navigation for me, pretty cool

I would love it to have more visualizations and not just the classic one in a common calendar and that it could be customized
You have the possibility to have a face-to-face call by sharing a link that, in my opinion, could be improved by creating groups of only contacts and limiting access to the meeting.

I subscribe to Zoho One so I use many of the modules that come with that single subscription. I've had intermittent issues with scheduled Zoho Meetings through Zoho CRM not appearing in my Zoho Calendar. Zoho has been working on the issue but it will be fixed for a while and then I'll miss a meeting because it wasn't appearing.

As I've said, Apple iCloud Calendar (iCal) does not work well when integrated with Microsoft Exchange/Outlook calendars. It's not very usable. Apple iCloud Calendar (iCal) does not stay in sync well at all with Microsoft Exchange/Outlook. You will waste a lot of time manually resyncing your calendars and you will never be able to fully trust Apple iCloud Calendar (iCal).

Since there are lots of preference options, it can be a little confusing when setting up. It does integrate with other calendars where you can choose one or two way syncing which is helpful if you keep separate personal and work calendars. You can set your start day of the week which for me I have it set to Monday. There are also time zone options which are great but still a bit confusing to me.

Support has been excellent. As always, they are quickly responsive, and I feel they genuinely wish to address and fix any issues. It's unfortunate that my issues with meetings created in Zoho CRM don't always appear in my Zoho Calendar. While they mostly appear, my confidence level on any given week that I can see what is on my schedule is decidedly lacking.

For our Mac and IOS users, the use of the native iOS calendar and the cloud associated with it was an obvious choice for us, especially with the distribution of Apple products to our teams out in the field. For android users, it is easy to access the same services using the web-based client, and iCal allows various account types to be added to calendar invites. The iCal application allows the addition of 3rd party email and calendar accounts allow to be seamlessly integrated. All of the calendar accounts can be overlayed along with the native iCloud accounts. Google Calendar by comparison struggled to do all of these things as well, preferring their google Meet as the conference software and preferring Gmail accounts over all other types.

Zoho calendar allows us to schedule, manage and track your appointment, meetings, birthdays, and other important dates. And also collaborate, share and publish your daily activities. Zoho Calendar also provides you to make it more creative by changing the themes. Event reminders are also available on Zoho Calendar, so we can be reminded either via email or through a pop-up about appointments, dates, milestones, and events. Reminders can pop up as early as 30 days before an event.

As mentioned previously iCal provides more info to me than just an appointment
i can add attachments like notes or links to other services inside the appointment and these will synchronise across my devices.
The search functionality in iCal allows me to save items in the notes and then find them at a later stage. An example - I save key information about meetings or activities and then when I am looking for it at a later stage i can jjst search iCal and find it without having to look for documents or through my notes.
There is no default video call setting (like Google has Meet as a default and Microsoft has Teams) this is a problem in that I can't schedule video calls so the work around is that I sync to a Gmail calender and then schedule the video call (Meet) in Google

Once the meeting is created on the Zoho calendar, you don't need to remind invitees to join the meeting at a particular time or day. Zoho calendar does that for you.
If any invitees are unable to join the meeting, they can ask for a different time prior to that meeting.
Sometimes if many meetings are in the pipeline then there can be overlap.
