    Google Calendar is well suited for scheduling 1:1 and smaller group meetings and recurring meetings. It's also well suited to connect with scheduling software. However, there is still a lot of opportunity for improvement when you want to make a very well-organized calendar (for example, limitations with the meeting tagging & categories). It's also not as well suited for helping with scheduling for bigger groups.

    Very well suited: 1. Small organizations and businesses ( 50, I don't think Ticktick is the best tool for that... Ticktick is excellent for keeping oneself accountable and on point with one's task. There should be an inherent sense of ownership from the user because an app can only do so much. It is not well suited for big organizations with more than 50 people, where visibility of stats is required on an admin or higher level. Plus, collaboration will become a lot clunkier as the number of team members increases. Knowledge management will also be an issue.

    Pros
    Google
    • Makes it easy to schedule meetings and block off time
    • I can see everyone in my org's calendar's as well which makes it convenient when scheduling calls with multiple people so I can see when they have overlapping availabilities.
    • Integration with Zoom and Microsoft Teams for video calls that can be added from the calendar invite itself

    Cons
    Google
    • Being able to group a team much easier so I don't have to add the same people over and over again without having to have access right to create a Google group
    • Room or space management, because of repeating events the rooms of the office tend to be always "occupied" but not everyone is there due to how the new hybrid way of working is
    • Better way of working together in the calendar events where it's easier for the team to prepare if I give a clearer better UI of all the documents/presentations they might need to look over

    • The task reminders are in the form of a notification - it would be nice to have an email option.
    • All tasks due on the same day/time show up as one notification versus separate - this can be hard to separate as far as task planning goes.

    So far it accomplishes everything I need it to without unnecessary complications. The only reason I can think that I wouldn't renew is if I was required to use something else.

    Usability
    Google
    It's a bit outdated on how things should be working, the UI per say hasn't changed much and I believe there is still a lot more room for improvement in how the calendar shows, the creating process, the parameters on setting up an event and it could be better integrated with the g-suite and other tools

    It is super simple in its set up and easy to learn to use. Many other apps are overly complicated which TickTick is not. It always depende on what features you are looking for but I did not even need to explain anything to those who struggle with newer technology

    Most of the other services we would use don't have the same integration with other Google services that Google Calendar has. The ability to view and set things from your email is very convenient. So is the ability to have your notifications automatically show up on an Android phone as a reminder.

    TickTick has a better UI and UX compared to the other competitors, and the Quick Add feature from any window is a must for inbox task management!

    • Very significant improvement in employee productivity (more than 10%), because people spend much less time arranging meetings.
    • Essential tool to develop remote work within the company during Covid.
    • No need to build an email infrastructure (significant cost reduction in IT infrastructure).

    • Effective tracking of my time and tasks; made me understand the value of my time.
    • Had a streak of 62 days straight where I didn't miss a single planned task.
    • It has become a repository of all the dead tasks, projects, and ideas I can pick up whenever possible.
