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.

"Schedule your events!"
4/5
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.

"Perfect online scheduling platform"
4/5
What do you like best about Doodle?

Through this software I am capable of getting rid f excessive notifications and alerts, as Doodle organize them very effectively and categorize them as well due to which I never stuck in bulk of notifications.

What do you dislike about Doodle?

In the start it was a little difficult to implement on this tool but after using it features I got to know how user friendly this software is. I really appreciate its development team which is working really professionally. Now there is no complaint against Doodle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodle?

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. In addition I still find it confusing when it come to handle those clients who are bi lingual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic Poll Generator With Some Drawbacks On Display"
4.5/5
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.

"Schedule your meetings in an effective and modern way."

What do you like best about Doodle?

Doodle offers multiple options to simplify extensive jobs, mentioning that we can edit and create meeting schedules in a very easy and outgoing way, which makes it a flexible platform for large amounts of work, being one of the platforms that most They are used in these branches of operation, highlighting that any user can communicate with the online support without any problem, which is one of the most outstanding aspects of this software, because we can solve the problems or doubts that arise with Regarding the operations of this system, in a very fast way, since it also provides immediate and very coherent answers. 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.

"So easy to get consensus, if everyone participates"
5/5
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.

"Conference planning for the team"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Doodle?

The software is simple and easy to use. It spends a lot of time coordinating different schedules between people. I've been using the free version and I think I'll be considering a paid version for professional use in the future. Coordinating re-use is a challenge, and Doodle does it very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodle?

Doodle has no serious drawbacks because it is very easy to use and its concept is very simple. You may complain that some features are blocked by your signature, but the main features are free and perfect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great online survey tool with nice free features"
5/5
What do you like best about Doodle?

The possibility to create surveys in order to schedule appointments, meetings or simply for using in a decision making process, involving different stakeholders. Partecipants of the survey can be contacted creating a link, and sending it to them. Pretty straight forward and main features can also be used in the free version.

What do you dislike about Doodle?

First time using it can be a bit difficult but the learning curve is steep. If something is unclear, there a loads and loads of tutorials on video platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for scheduling with multiple groups of people in different time zones"
4/5
What do you like best about Doodle?

Great for everyone to add their availability and find the best time to schedule events, especially across multiple time zones. Doodle helps select the best time and allows you to add custom time slots of varying length for people to add their availability, which makes scheduling much easier. The administrator can also see the available times people select in real-time and see who has replied and who has not, which is very helpful for scheduling. I also like that it integrates with Outlook now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Doodle?

I dislike that users often have to manually enter their availability, it would be great if users could sync or upload their calendar availability from outlook, icalendar, or google calendar instead to make the work more effortless. The UI can also be challenging on certain browsers and there's not an easy way to save if you are making a complicated set of available times, so it is important to complete before your session times out. Going back and modifying the availability and sending reminders is also cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
