"Helps plan social encounters in the office and plan desk space (hidden gem feature: the reports)"
What do you like best about Officely?

A hidden gem feature is the report function in Officely! I am doing the Carbon Emissions accounting at my organization and the insights as to how many people work from home vs. come to the office is important or that. I would not have this valuable data if not for Officely.

The office chat function I also use quite a lot to reminde people to take left over office food home :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Officely?

Nothing I can think of right now. Honestly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Vital little asset to our software armoury"
What do you like best about Officely?

Helps smooth out the hydrid nature is our business, keeping track of staff, their status and availability. Highly flexible in terms of functionality and seemlessly integrates with Slack and we use both every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Officely?

Some functions/settings are rather buried. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Officely makes remote working a breeze!"
What do you like best about Officely?

I love that we can automatically schedule individual teams or employees into the office for particular days.

The one click bookings makes it so quick and easy to schedule yourself into the office.

It's very user friendly in terms of it's design and usability. Very appealing to look at and see who's in the office each day!

I really like the routines so you can set yourself up to be at home or in the office each week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Officely?

It would be good if you could auto-schedule the same people into the office for a particular day for a longer period of time. For example, my team are in the office on Tuesdays but Officely was only scheduling them in for the following couple of weeks, so other people could nip in and nab our desks. Whereas if it was every Tuesday for the rest of the year, this would be useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Big Fan"
What do you like best about Officely?

We have two office locations, one in Toronto and one in LA. It's been extremely helpful to know if someone is the other office or at home. We often have drives delivered and can hit up the assistants we know are in the office due to officely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Officely?

When I take lunch, I want to change my icon. Is there anyway to keep the note about whether I'm at home or in office that day? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A very pleasant and playful experience"
What do you like best about Officely?

The attendance tracker that really encourages people to come to the office more often! Very playful and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Officely?

We struggled a lot to set up officely on slack with the different admin accesses etc. It would have been easier if we requested a demo from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Officely is helping embed our hybrid working policy"
What do you like best about Officely?

Officely smoothly integrates with Slack and Google calendar which makes it very easy to use and integrate with our existing ways of working. It gives visibility of where people are (e.g. in the office, working from home, on holiday, etc)

It also provides useful data and insights on the use of office space, which will help inform business decisions going forward.

Customer support is quick, friendly, and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Officely?

It would be helpful to be able to book time by the hour on officely and to have more categories such as nomadic working for when ppl are working remotely from different places and time zones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unmissable tool for office management"
What do you like best about Officely?

It's amazing how we can manage our limited hybrid office spaces when it comes to registering attendance, and see who is working from where with a simple status update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Officely?

I think there can be some improvements on the tech side, sometimes statuses aren't processed and it's stuck on previous selection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick, simple, and great customer service"
What do you like best about Officely?

We use Officely to book our desks and have it integrated in Slack. We have a reminder come up in the afternoon to book your desk for the next day, or to set and forget, you can set up recurring bookings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Officely?

Nothing bad! It's simple and does the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful but annoying"
What do you like best about Officely?

Slack integration, being able to include notes, seeing who else is in Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Officely?

Excessive use of emojis and gifs can be quite grating/needlessly positive. For me, as a business tool, I would prefer the tone/experience to be a bit more neutral. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
