Opiniones de Acuity Scheduling

Me encanto la opcion para agendar sesiones grupales. Me facilita el entregar la informacion a varias personas sin necesidad de estar haciendo yo el trabajo. Me ha ahorrado bastante tiempo y me ayuda a concretar citas sin siquiera yo hacer nada.

El precio lo considero algo alto comparado con otros software pero igual siento que no es igual a otros softwares. Ofrece mas funcionalidades.

muy util para tener muchos calendarios, y eso nos permite reducir costos

es poco intuitivo y eso hace que muchas citas se queden en el camino

Lo fácil e intuitivo que es utilizarlo y la cantidad de opciones que te permite gestionar

Que no haya una versión traducida al castellano

Es una propuesta excelente para coaching y servicios de asesoria ya sea medicos, psicologicos u otros, ya que da la posibilidad de ordenar y planificar muy bien.

Falta vincular pagos con herramientas de pago en latinoamerca, como lo es transbank y mercadopago, además de presentar algun plan mas economico para partir y algo más intuitiva en su plataforma.

Lo que mas me gusta el la facilidad en que los usuarios puedes reservar las citas y el sistema de notificación de correos.

el diseño para mi es un poco complicado tener la plataforma sin colores ni identificaciones en mi idioma que es el español

Deja agendar, confirma la cita y se puede subir imágenes

No, la aplicación es muy completa en lo que ofrece

En 5 minutos tienes en tu página web la integración hecha

Algunas limitaciones en la versión gratuita, pero por lo general muy contento

Es un programa de fácil uso y entendimiento

No he logrado integrarlo bien aún con otras de mis aplicaciones de uso diario

I switched from Calendly because I was having people make appointments at the last minute and back to back. I really appreciate that Acuity has functionality to account for my preferences in both situations.

I really enjoy the ability to personalize my different scheduling links since I set up scheduling for a few different scenarios. I tend to use the specific appointment type scheduling link, which is great to have separated from the overall link so that there is no confusion in booking.

There is so much other functionality that I haven’t had a chance to use yet link the intake forms and billing, but I’m looking forward to using it.

Also, I really enjoy the emails and correspondence that I’ve had with organization. I haven’t even submitted a help ticket, but every email is funny and engaging and it feels like someone is personally attending to me!

I had a little bit of confusion with the set up of my calendars. It took some searching to figure out how to combine all my appointments to one calendar. All in all I figured it out and still love my account.

I loved the ease of use and integration with goigle calender that helps me sync my Google appointments with Acuity scheduling app.

Secondly, I can book and send branded reminders to my co workers and clients.

Lastly, its most useful feature that I use specially for clients who forget to pay on time. Its payment acceptance feature that enable me to accept payment from stripe and paypal.

Need to learn css to customize the branding for appointments

Searching for previous appointments is cumbersome and exhaust lots of time to figuring out.

We appreciate that our customers can schedule their own appointments. After figuring out how to arrange our timetable to fit with our business operations, we were able to resolve numerous difficulties and issues related to scheduling customers. The most impressive feature is the ability to assign resources and determine their availability. This is a critical feature for any customer-based business because it enables you to make the most of your customer base. We assumed our schedule was already full, but we quickly realized that we could increase our timetable by more than 50% and increase our profits.

I found the user interface and navigation to be confusing and unintuitive at times. Furthermore, the pricing structure seemed a little complicated to me, with different tiers of services and features that can be difficult to track.

We've used this software to schedule group appointments at the gym that I manage and it is easy to setup and integrate with out sales funnel (through clickfunnels integration). It is also nice that it was integrated with instagram to easily connect to our social media.

It was great for scheduling individual appointments and group consultations - but to manage our gym we needed something more all inclusive to streamline the process and decided to use Mindbody instead (although that was quite difficult to get setup properly in comparison)

Acuity Scheduling has some great features that I really appreciate, such as timezone detection. This means that when potential customers book an appointment, the system takes into account their location and timezone to avoid any scheduling errors or confusion due to differences in time-zone. In addition, this platform provides flexible availability settings, allowing us to set custom rules, including buffer times between appointments and blackout dates, to manage our schedule more effectively. These features have been really helpful in improving our appointment management process.

I have been trying to identify something that I dislike about Acuity, but I'm struggling to do so. It's possible that my appointment scheduling needs are relatively straightforward, but overall, I am very satisfied with Acuity and the benefits it has provided for my team thus far.

According to me after using its user-friendly interface, flexible scheduling options, customizable booking pages, automated reminders, integrated payment processing, comprehensive client management, and array of integrations and other features , clients and team all are very satisfied and supporting and moving toward this one. Also Whether you run a service-based business or operate a busy office, Acuity Scheduling provides the essential tools you need to efficiently schedule and manage appointments.

its looks are too cool, so no changes are required.

Customizable: Acuity Scheduling offers a range of customization options, such as branding, appointment types, and scheduling rules, allowing businesses to tailor the software to their specific needs.. It has integrates seamlessly with other business tools, such as Zoom, Google Calendar, and Mailchimp, allowing for seamless data sharing and collaboration across different platforms.

Acuity Scheduling is designed primarily for appointment scheduling, which means it may not meet the needs of businesses that require more flexibility in their scheduling processes.

I like the ease of use and the multiple ways that it makes it easier for both me and my clients to communicate regarding appointment times

I think it would be helpful if they had more user or help tips for each function in the program

The features are great. Booking is east and simple. It keeps you on tract with your clients and potential customers

I feel that everything is fine. I have no negative things to say about it at all. Nothing is bad too me

I think users often appreciate Acuity Scheduling for its user-friendly interface, flexible scheduling options, calendar sync, reminders and notifications, website integration, client database, and credit card processing. These features contribute to an efficient appointment management system and help streamline business operations.

Mobile App Functionality: While Acuity Scheduling does have a mobile app, some users have found that it lacks certain features or has limited functionality compared to the web version. They would like to see improvements and feature parity between the mobile app and the web platform.

I love the look. It's clean, sharp and very easy to sync with your branding.
I have been using it for over a year and never had any issue with it, notifications, email reminders for clients, syncing with different personal and work calendars, accepting payments for appointment bookings.

Lack of free version. Sometimes I wish they had a free version with reduced features for clients who need an online booking system but expect only 5 bookings per month. $14 is a bit too much for them so they usually go with Calendly.

We love the ability for clients to schedule themselves, and once we got everything sorted out with how to logistically set up our schedule to account for how our business runs, it has solved so many issues and problems of knowing when to schedule a client.

The ability to assign resources and set the availability for those resources is really the best part. For almost any client-heavy industry this is a key feature which allows you to maximize your client load in an orderly fashion. We wen't from thinking our schedule was maxed out, to realizing we had the ability to expand our schedule over 50% thus increasing our bottom line.

If you have no worked with a scheduling software before, there is a learning curve. We used Acuity for well over 9 months before figuring out how to really utilize this tool to maximize our studio schedule. Granted, the help and support Acuity offers is amazing, but I tend to DIY most things until I get stuck. By reaching out for help and support when you get stuck, the only minor frustration is easily mitigated and goes away quickly.

The top features for me were the ability to have a client make a "reservation, appointment, booking" that is dated more than 1 year from the current day. Many competitors have a restriction on future bookings which only allow you to make a booking within the next 365 days. In my industry, dealing with Weddings, future ability to make a reservation 2 or even 3 years from the current day is crucial.

The number 2 feature that I believe is underrated and is very important in many industries is the fact that appointment add-on's such as a time extension or a same-day rehearsal, Acuity was one of the only that took that specific booking and reflected that overall appointment time into my future availability. Not all applications factor in "add-on's" into the future appointment availability which can cause problems in servicing other clients who now have an opportunity to schedule the service even though you the provider might not be available. Another great feature is that Guests who pay for the service in full have the ability to give you a tip. (which is a rare feature among. these appointment application solutions.)

The only cons are that even their top tier level plans which go for approximately $45/ month still do not come with phone support. While setting up your account is quite streamlined and simple. I still have a personal opinion on those applications that cost a specific amount per month should provide phone support. I would like to note that their email support was on point and did respond better than some other competitors I have used in the past.

What I absolutely LOVE about Acuity is the ability to set up my piano lesson days and times, give my piano parents a link, and then they can sign up for their own lessons! With the email reminders (also an awesome feature to reduce no-shows), they can also easily reschedule a lesson if they need to. This saves me COUNTLESS hours! No need to do the "back and forth" texting and emails to settle on a different lesson time...parents can do it all themselves. Win for them and an even bigger win for me!

The one feature I wish Acuity had is the ability to hover over a lesson time on the calendar and see a list of names of the students who will be in that lesson. The calendar does show how many are signed up (in the form of a fraction...sign-ups/total number the lesson will hold...3/5, for example) but I really would like to hover and see the names. I also wish there was an easier way to bulk delete a lesson time. Say I decide to discontinue offering lessons on Monday afternoons at 2pm. I have to go in and scroll down a long list of lessons, looking for that specific lesson, check-marking the box next to each one, then delete. Seems like there should be a "delete just this lesson or all future lessons?" option. But this isn't really THAT big a deal. Just an annoyance that will take 10 minutes (instead of 10 seconds.)

Besides the obvious, most important piece: it actually works (others did not), here are some other key pros.

So much customization. I'm astounded at how much you can modify the client's scheduling page. There's the root code and table(s) to actually get the job done but, on top of that, you can customize everything around it: the wording, the look, the buttons, the colors, the options, etc. The wording was especially important to me. I prefer that the scheduling system gives off a feel that is congruent with the rest of the business.

Clients have the option of creating an account/password if they want to manage all of their appointments. Everything syncs immediately with my personal google calendar. You create your blanket availability but then you can also manually block out times. You can 'pad' before and after appointments to make sure you're doing all you need to. You don't have to, but you can create different appointment types with different settings. You can also create a 'class' / 'group' and allow clients to reserve spots.

The other crucial part for me was the client-emails. Some of the systems provided little to no customization. They were basically going to talk to your clients however they felt like. You can customize all of it with Acuity. You can word the emails the way you want to. Clients get confirmations when you schedule something, cancel something, etc. You can choose to get a copy of the emails that are sent to clients so that you know exactly how it looks. You can even add a custom note (in addition to the original custom email) so that it's two-fold customized to that particular client for that particular situation.

In case I haven't been clear: it's the customization that is so crucial to me. :)

All this in mind, it's actually cheaper than many of the other systems. And I want to emphasize one more time: not only is the customization crucial, but other systems flat out didn't work. The actual coding seems so solid here.

This isn't a con - it's just an unknown. It's a new practice and I'm the only staff. Once there are other service providers, I don't know how well Acuity will flow with that. Considering the solid coding that they seem to have, I'm guessing it will work very well (with a lot of customization! haha) but I thought it's fair to mention that I'm not aware of how well the system works with multiple staff members.

One other tiny piece of con: how the actual system looks from the inside (on our end). It's not aesthetically joyous but I didn't buy Acuity as a piece of art that I can gaze into with a glass of wine. So I don't care that much. It works. And it lets me customize it so it integrates with my business and provide consistency and function for my clients. I love it and am relieved to have it.

Ease of use, the ability for clients to schedule/reschedule without my help, ability to set up an e-mail automation after meeting has wrapped, custom confirmation and reminder e-mails, ability to adjust availability dependent on meeting type.

I wish we could customize the look and feel of each different custom scheduling link. Whatever look you settle on for your main link (usernamehere.as.me) becomes the standard look across all direct links (usernamehere.as.me/direct/) unless you embed the code into your website.

I actually set up a second Acuity account so I could keep my "landing page" look for the first account. The way I am using it is totally unorthodox, however, and when I spoke with Acuity's team, they were even surprised in how I adapted their tool for my uses.

The mobile app is also a little lacking. It doesn't have as much functionality as working with your account through a browser.
