## Officely Reviews
  ### 1. Extremely Helpful Tool for Our Office

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Melanie M. | Office Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Officely has been an amazing hotel desk booking tool that has been easy to use from the start. My favourite two features has honestly been the Hybrid Heros Slack group, it's been so helpful.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Honestly, because of the Hybrid Heros Slack group, if I noticed a certain feature I was hoping to find wasn't on the app, I could mention this in '#officely-questions' and I would always get a quick, positive response along the lines of  'Great idea! The team will look into adding this feature'.

**Recommendations to others considering Officely:**

Using Officely has been an amazing experience from the very start. I have zero complaints and look forward to continuing to use Officely as our office sticks to a Hybrid working model.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Officely has been a huge help when collecting data on how many users are using the office on a weekly, monthly etc. basis. One great benefit of Officely is the 'Office Chat' feature, it's been a huge help being able to easily chat with the folks who are in the office.

**Official Response from Nicole Maltrotti:**

> Hey Melanie, 

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback 🙏 

So happy to hear that you're enjoying being part of our community 💖 we have some exciting plans for it so we hope you'll find it even more useful as we share top tips and tricks from HR and Office Management teams from all over the globe! 

Thanks again and hope you have an awesome week,
Team Officely 


  ### 2. Simple and Clean

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2023

**What do you like best about Officely?**

How simple and clean the design and functionality is. 

Use of emojis

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Having issues with the meeting room booking system

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knowing who's in the office on which days

Full transparency at the click of a button

Makes internal communications easier

  ### 3. Officely is a great application to use to help keep your workforce attendance flexible.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Officely works directly in Slack, has the right notifications that help out with clarity about attendance and is clear about the available seats that are left for a certain day.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Working from multiple offices takes a few clicks to find and change the office to book attendance. It could be easier to reserve spaces for guests in the office.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Before Officely it was unclear how many people were coming to the office and if there were still seats available while we had limited attendance during the pandemic. Now that it's over it helps us to check who's in the office so we can easily find them whenever we need to get together physically.

  ### 4. Useful tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Valeria G. | office manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

It is a very useful tool, and easy to use. I use it to know the number of people who will attend lunch in the office and the truth is that I have found several options that help me to inform my colleagues every day of the lunch options, shifts, etc...I like that it is in conjunction with slack, so it can be easily accessed.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

When I disable any extra I lose the information of that day.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used to have a website for lunches and people would forget to sign up for lunch, now with officely it's so much easier, I just have to send reminders on the lunch channel and that's it.

**Official Response from Kristina Semcenko:**

> Hey Valeria, 

Thank you so much for your feedback, we appreciate it so much! 🤗 

Glad to hear that we can help you with organising lunches and that you find Officely easy to use! 

We've noted your feedback about losing extras. 

Thanks again Valeria 🙏

  ### 5. Simple efficient tool to track office usage

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Charlotte S. | Workplace experience, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 09, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Simple tool & the big thing for us is that it lives in slack. If it didn't our teams simply wouldn't use it.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

There could be optimisations, for example if someone checks in on an office lunch day prompt them - do you want lunch?

Navigating and adding things like lunches/ edit desks etc. it can feel like a treasure hunt, there could be a simpler UX.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We only use it for the data aspect & for visibility for people heading into the office (we have a largely remote team, so the office is much smaller than headcount). Officely helps us ensure we aren't over capacity & has been useful in predicting office requirements

  ### 6. Great application helping us to seamlessly manage the office

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steve H. | EMEA & America's Regional Director and GM, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 26, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Ease of use and integration with slack makes life easy

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Costly for an office of 80 people and multiple offices with one Slack domain

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Seamlessly helps us manage who and when is coming to the office

  ### 7. A very useful tool for organising who is in the office, all in built to slack

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alessandro V. | Rent Collection Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Embedded into slack so really easy to use and see what is going on - much easier than other systems we were planning on using
Like the idea of neighbourhoods so you can coordinate with your team when you go in

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Hard to see who is in easily if a lot of people are in - list cuts off
We used it for uploading covid test pictures but that got quite annoying as asked you the day before (i.e. before you and done the test!)

**Recommendations to others considering Officely:**

If you have just implemented hot-desking at your office this system makes it super easy

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Organising who is in and where they could sit. Ability to upload and maintain covid negative tests. Check which / how many dogs were in the office if you wanted to avoid some of the noise!

  ### 8. Officely is AMAZING

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nadia T. | Employee Experience Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2023

**What do you like best about Officely?**

I like how user-friendly and easy it is to set up. The new room booking option is also a huge improvement.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

There are no significant downsides to Officely.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Solving the problem of too many people coming to the office on a given day and there not being enough seats.

  ### 9. The best of the solutions we reviewed

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Officely is so easy to use, both as an Admin and as a User. Automatic notifications let the team know who is coming into the office and where in the office they plan to work.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Due to our company restrictions on access to Slack, we are unable to use the Chat function in Officely. The Officely team worked with us to try to get this function to work but just couldn't with the restrictions that we have in place.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The Officely team has helped us with a few issues we have been having over the last 18 months and has usually solved the problems successfully.

  ### 10. Humi's Officely Experience

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tasha S. | Office Experience Associate Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 09, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

- Different groupings make it easier to add different sections
- Office closures are very helpful
- The easy steps on joining on a day
- The ability to mass join (aka join for the next upcoming 3 weeks)

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

- I wish you were able to have special features if you need to close the office for an emergency
- Importing contacts at a mass level
- A better way to add a guest rather than email

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

- We were trying to find a cost-effective tool that allowed our employees to easily sign on (since we are remote first) and Officely is certainly the tool to use

**Official Response from Kristina Semcenko:**

> Hey Tasha,

Thanks so much for your feedback 🤩 appreciate it so so much! 

Would love to hear more about the special features that you'd like to have if you needed to close the office for an emergency! 

Also with importing contacts, do you mean inviting employees to join Officely? If so you can always do this by either inviting a channel or tagging general which will invite everyone from the company 🤩

On your last point about adding guests, if you'd like to book them in you can always invite them as a single channel guest! I'm attaching an article that will walk you through the steps.

Let me know if any of this helps at all! Also more than happy to hop on a call 🤩 just send us an email at hello@getofficely.com and we'll be more than happy to help!

Thanks again Tasha,
Kristina

  ### 11. Officely Great App

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Eric M. | O, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

It is nice to be able to have different rooms and to be able to have reports and the previous weeks attendance. It help also when we have a lot of out-of-town people to reserve seats and manages the number of people coming in.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

The report section is not the most user friendly and easy to find, same for accessing the main setting page, we go via slack. It's not easy to go from one office to the other

**Recommendations to others considering Officely:**

This a great app that is simple to use and helps with planning events in office and track covid close contact

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We can optimze the return to work after the pandemic to establish close contact in case of positive cases, and with no assigned desk anymore to be able to see how many places are available to come in the office.

  ### 12. Officely is a great tool with many advantages

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Zsofia C. | Chief of Staff, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 02, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

A great upside is the versatility of the tool; it is not only helpful for office space management but is also good in assisting with Health and Safety and community building.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

We are excited about more features to come :)

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Contact tracing during the pandemic, office space management and office news/events communication

  ### 13. We use Officely for our offices in NY and Oakland.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Richard W. | Operations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 09, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

The upsides to Officely is to be able to see who is coming into the office to plan accordingly. and being able to set or change recurring days

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

The only downside I have run into is not being able to have alerts to someone (i.e. an office manager) to how many people are coming in on a given day.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Officely has helped us solve problems like social distancing issues, office food issues (knowing when to stock snacks, what to order for lunch) and things like that.

  ### 14. Excellent for Office tracking

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Officely is super easy to use. Not only for myself, as an Admin, but also for the users.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

It's a bit pokey sometimes; it could be faster. Sometimes you click on a button, and nothing happens, so you're not sure if you actually clicked on it, and then you click again.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In-office employee tracking. What days will an entire department be in the space. Also helps us find out who is attending certain weekly events that require planning/ catering, etc.

  ### 15. Easy to use

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Alberto M. | Regional Sales Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

It allows you to make space reservations, and check availability directly from slack

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Don't really find any inconvenience, it's simple and complete

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Allows you to check availability of the different neighbourhoods, meeting rooms and offices. Making quick reservation.

  ### 16. A Lifesaving Tool!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

I love the level of customisation on the app, being able to add floorplans, set up teams, change the health controls so quickly. As an office manager, I can't imagine not having Officely now! And the fact that it just integrates into Slack so we don't have to have a separate tool is just perfect.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

It doesn't always feel like the most intuitive app for some people, the settings could be a little more straightforward. Although there are plenty of great tutorials available too so this isn't really a big deal. I had to really reach for something that I dislike!

**Recommendations to others considering Officely:**

Once you do a trial you will see how much you need this app to manage your office!

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being able to see exactly who is coming in is invaluable, we have more staff than desks so it's helping us to control our numbers. And the Covid health controls have helped us to really keep the rest of the staff as safe as possible!

**Official Response from Kristina Semcenko:**

> Hey, thanks so much for sharing your feedback with us, we appreciate it so so much! Super glad to hear that you're enjoying using Officely. We are super lucky to have you as our customer and it warms our hearts to know that you are finding it helpful 🤗 

We will keep your feedback in mind as we develop and grow our product!

Thanks again!
Team Officely

  ### 17. Easy and efficient way to manage WFH & Studio space

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 02, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

It's easy to use and there are some cool features included that make it an enaging platform. Best thing is the daily reminder of whose going into the office . I haven't used any other similar softwares but think it's up there in terms of accessibility.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

It would be good to link it up to Hibob our HR platform in the future.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were previously at capacity in our studio which made hot desking difficult as people would turn up and there wouldn't be enough desks. Now we can monitor who will be in when and makes planning company events much easier.

  ### 18. User friendly app

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marina M. | Office Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

It is integrated with Slack and is easy to use for everybody.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

1. Downloading the data is not the best. The downloaded document doesn't have the best overview.
2. It would be great if there were a feature that enables a popup window or a notification as a reminder to book something on a daily basis.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Booking parking and overview of the office use.

  ### 19. Officely keeps me connected with Friends!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Officely helps us track the days our colleagues are stopping by the office and allows us to rally together as a team and work together in the office. We love this app!

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

There isn't anything we have complaints about in regard to Officely.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Officely helps us track when people are coming into our office and which spaces they enjoy occupying

**Official Response from Kristina Semcenko:**

> Thank you so much for your feedback! So happy to hear you're enjoying using Officely and find it helpful 🙏  

  ### 20. Simple and easy to use

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 16, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Easy to understand and add members of staff. Love the chat function and the analytics. Settings and preferences are easy to navigate and it change. I don't even use the team function bc we are so small but they look very useful.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

I don't dislike it but more in-depth analytics would be great as they have been really useful when we have done our office move. The way you add/remove workers that day and check back who has been in can sometimes feel a bit clunky - also plz make it clearer for staff as to how to be in just for AM/PM

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are using it to check if our in office headcount is worth us downsizing to a smaller office and using it to check what days I as office manager should come into office or WFH.

  ### 21. Fantastic!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Katita  R. | Office Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Officely is helpful on knowing who and who will not be in the office each day. Especially if you have an open office lay out and share desks!

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

So far, there is nothing that I dislike!

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Officely helps our office stay organized by not having too many people in the office at a time.

  ### 22. Intuitive Slack integration

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Easy to use and it sits in Slack so not another system. Intuitive and simple to train people on how to use.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

The reporting is a bit clunky and sometimes the broadcast glitches.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Seeing how many people are in the office and booking desk spaces in some of the offices which have maxed capacity.

  ### 23. Officely is exactly what we needed for our new hybrid way of working. Easy accessible and practical.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bodil J. | Office Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

What I like best is that it's in Slack, so our employees don't have to download or install yet another different software/program. Plus the extra's, like dogs and parking spots, make it even more great. The health check form is brilliant. The whole app is very user-friendly as well. I recommend it to everyone.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

I don't really dislike anything, but if I have to think one thing, it's that I can't add meeting rooms/studio's etc without the amount of allowed people increasing the total amount.

**Recommendations to others considering Officely:**

Try it out, it's very easy, and the team at Officely is really kind and helps you with whatever problems you're facing. It's simple, but has everything you'd need. I've been using it for a few months now, and I've nothing but great things to say. If for whatever reason you find out it's nothing for your company, which I dare to bet won't happen, you can cancel it every month, also a plus. Oh and last thing, if COVID-19 starts rising again and the office is closed, you don't pay anything since their revenue model is based on the amount of different people booking a desk. Perfect, right?

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Right now, everyone is in charge of their own workplace calendar. Because our office capacity can't handle all of us working in the office (plus COVID-19 of course) I had to make fixed rosters, meaning people could only come those days. Which often was very inconvenient for them and logistically challenging. Using Officely made both mine and my colleague's lives better. We all have more control of our daily lives, and e.g. the limit of dogs is also very convenient. We love having dogs in the office, but now the owners can check if the dogs coming in go well with their dogs, making sure they're not commuting to work for nothing.

  ### 24. So helpful for creating hybrid office efficiency!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Apparel & Fashion | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Being able to see who is coming in each day. Limiting the number of desks available in each section. Adding notices for any given days (ie. in-office events). Booking parking! Covid-related protocols (vaccine requirements, automatic daily health survey, contact tracing, etc.)

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

I wish you could see everyone booked in on a given day without having to click "View More". 
To mark office closures for half days. Close a neighbourhood for just a day. 
A way to automate the office chat feature to start every day so that it can send a standard welcome message with important info.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helps the office manager plan for the day based on who is coming in. Allowing contact tracing for covid-related issues. Requiring health surveys daily instead of folks previously having to remember to fill out a Google form.

  ### 25. Great Application to use for updating and being aware of Office attendance

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 02, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

I like how it is customisable and allows you to setup for multiple offices or spaces

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

It would be a little nicer if there were a specific admin website to control and update settings

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Simplifying the ability to communicate and understand attendance

**Official Response from Kristina Semcenko:**

> Hey, thank you so much for your feedback! 🤗

I'm really excited to let you know that our engineering team is currently working on exactly this feature! We realise how important it is for you to have more admin controls available so we're going to make managing the office even easier for you, woohoo! 

Thank you again for your super helpful feedback 😊



  ### 26. A simple tool to book a seat

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

It sends a few notifications at the right time. They are discrete and useful.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

I had some issues in switching between two office locations to book a seat when I tried for the first time.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Knowing how many people need a desk in advance

  ### 27. It's fine

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Useful to be able to integrate with slack and manage through there

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Inflexible, can't update for someone else, for example remove someone if they are sick, book a spot for a new starter who hasn't been onboarded yet, or have a support teams manage for their execs

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Inefficiency of using a google sheet that couldn't be integrated with other platforms to manage this

**Official Response from Kristina Semcenko:**

> Hey, thanks so much for sharing your feedback on Officely! 🤗 Appreciate you taking your time. 

Maybe we didn't do a good job showing this but you can actually adjust the bookings for someone else (if you're the admin of Officely). You can do this by clicking on view more next to the given day > scrolling down and clicking on manage attendees. More than happy to hop on a quick call to walk you through if that's helpful. Feel free to email hello@getofficely.com and we can hop on a call.

Regarding booking a spot for new joiners. We recommend creating a guest account which will allow you to reserve a spot whenever you have someone visiting or onboarding. Alternatively, you can always invite them as a single-channel guest and book them a seat.

Lastly, you can have as many admins as you wish, so if you'd like some support teams to manage bookings for their execs this can easily be done if you add them as an admin to Officely. 

Thanks again for your feedback, it's super helpful! Sorry that we didn't do a very good job at making you aware these features exist. We'll take this feedback onboard! 





  ### 28. Officely works.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 16, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

The daily Office chat is a great way to chat about lunch plans or other announcements to the group quickly and efficiently.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

People could be at the office and not have signed in to Officely. I wish there was a way to trigger a reminder to join.

**Recommendations to others considering Officely:**

Develop a way to trigger a reminder for people to join once they've already arrived at the office.
Develop a way to tell people to remove themselves if they decide not to come in so that attendance is accurate.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Luckily we haven't had any cases where we've needed contact tracing. Outside of that, the visibility to see who is there is a bonus.

  ### 29. Admin life-saver!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Holly M. | Studio Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

The Officely support is unrivalled. Kristina has been so helpful and responsive for anything I could need. Officely has made health questionnaires and office booking a dream -- without it I'd lose a lot of time. I like how their can be multiple administrators, and that the settings are so customisible. The interface is also really beautiful, which makes it a breeze for team-mates to use. Thanks for existing!

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Initially found it difficult to customise settings, but it's super easy by now...

**Recommendations to others considering Officely:**

Use this tool to lighten your office bookings admin

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The admin in relation to Covid-19 health surveys, health and safety visitor records, streamlining office bookings.

  ### 30. Seamless Transition to Officely

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jamal L. | IT Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2021

**What do you like best about Officely?**

The best thing about Officely is the interface is simple and easy to use.
Users can use the application with our slack message client to make a booking and complete the health survey efficiently.
Created zones, desks and pods for our departments have made the transition going back to the office quick and painless.
Our Office Manager loves the application as it removed all of the manual work of adding users to desks, sending out calendar invites, doing health surveys for all our users, and freed up more time for other work.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

There is nothing to dislike as it does everything we could ask for in a booking and healthy survey application. We are more than happy with Officely and would recommend it to any company starting to return to the office or trying to add a more efficient way of managing an office desk space.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The problem we solved with Officely is removing the manual adding and reminders to users coming into the office. Our return to the office was much better, and we realized we should have added Officely sooner.

  ### 31. So easy to setup and use

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Volker O. | CTO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2021

**What do you like best about Officely?**

The direct integration of Officely in Slack is fantastic. It's not a separate app or window that can and will be forgotten. Our employees love the ease of use and automatic booking feature called 
 concierge. It is our all-in-one solution for contact tracing in current corona times.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

We do not find anything to dislike so far. Officely is stable and constantly improving - big thumbs up! Oh, just one thing: If you do not use Slack, it is probably not the right tool for you, but that should be pretty clear.

**Recommendations to others considering Officely:**

If you are looking for an integrated solution in slack - test it for the trial period. You will fall in love and stop looking for alternatives (at least that happened for us).

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

- Office room capacity planning
- Corona contact tracing
- "Who is coming in tomorrow"
- Chat with everyone in the office today (to not distract people in home office)

  ### 32. good experience with officely

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Graphic Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 01, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

integrated almost completely into slack.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

it often does not display all the information i need at a glance. also it wish it gave us a little more detailed insight into office use and activity

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

officely easily allows us to set office capacity limits. once set, the app manages it, end to end

  ### 33. Easy to use

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tamara S. | Senior Account Strategist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 30, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Integrates nicely with Slack, recommend for anyone working hybrid!

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Nothing! It's very good, I'd highly recommend

**Recommendations to others considering Officely:**

It's very useful!

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

How many coworkers are in the office, which helps me decide when (and if) I go in

  ### 34. Great system which listens to users for all improvements and recommendations

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

user face is easy for all staff members, and also provides an accurate fire safety list as we move onto a hybrid model

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

The total desks spaces on the list are not overall attendance, meaning you need to count up to the accurate amount

**Recommendations to others considering Officely:**

A simple solution to an office managers nightmare, works well with hybrid office working and allows those to collaborate and organise there days better

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to judge how many people are coming in each day, and allows us to make changes in the office due to usage.

  ### 35. Officely is very easy to use!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Mental Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Officely is very easy to use. It sits in Slack, so staff didn't have to download an extra application.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

The only downside is that there's no interactive map, although this is also not necessary.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Staff can easily book a desk through the software, and Officely can even send health surveys.

  ### 36. Officely

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

It's easy to access, easy to use, and accessible on Slack

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

It's not easy to book people onto specific desks, which would be a helpful feature

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

None that I can think of. It's not a bad system, I just don't think it works for us at this level now since we moved to a bigger office. It might be working for other geographies though, so I am by no means the spokesperson for this company. This is just my experience

**Official Response from Kristina Semcenko:**

> Hey, thanks so much for your feedback 🙏

So excited to hear that you find it helpful that we live in Slack.

We want to make the booking process as easy as possible, so we'll keep your feedback in mind as we grow and develop our product 🤩

I will quickly mention that some of our customers have found that naming a desk after the employee that it belongs to makes it easier for employees to know which desk is dedicated to them. Not sure if you've given this a go yet, but I'd definitely recommend trying and seeing if that helps at all. 

I'm always more than happy to jump on a call to figure out ways that we can best compliment you and your work environment. Here's a link to my Calendly if you're free some time for a quick call?  https://calendly.com/getofficely/15min

Thanks,
Team Officely

  ### 37. its very easy to use and great thats its on slack.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Market Research | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

For me as Ofice Manager I can see who is coming in the following week so helps me prepare.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

I cannot think of anything right now, nothing I can think of

**Recommendations to others considering Officely:**

I dont know if we would have used it if it was not compatible with slack, so worth checking.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Its great for planning, also be great if people would always fill this out, a prompt might be a good idea. Planning meetings on days for collaboration is key.

  ### 38. Easy for Multi-Office Use

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2021

**What do you like best about Officely?**

With two separate offices and the option to work from home during Covid, Officely has been a huge lifesaver as management can now see who is working where and on what days.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Visually we aren't too keen on the Office FM broadcasts. Because we have more than one office, the daily broadcast call to book in looks a bit clunky and makes it harder for our employees to engage. I've raised this already, so fingers crossed this will change soon! It would be great to customise our Office FM broadcasts, the same as we can with the health questionnaires.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Officely has made collaborative working more straightforward, as well as just general office logistics like ensuring someone will be in to take a delivery. Thankfully we are yet to have an employee come down with Covid, but the contact tracing function and daily customisable health questionnaires based on which location you have checked into are a great feature too.

  ### 39. Great experience

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Susan S. | Office Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Easy connection with office channels and

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

1) no clickable office map 2) layout is a bit confusing, not intuitive, specially for booking in different offices

**Recommendations to others considering Officely:**

Dont know

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Desk booking is a small office with flex desks

  ### 40. Efficient tool.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Vagner S. | O, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

The features where you can connect to the team.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Nothing that I can think of.
Everything looks good.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The miscommunication within the company.
We save a lot of time when we know who in the office.

  ### 41. Ideal for COVID!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** John R. | Data Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2021

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Officely seems to be exactly written for the "return-to-work" situation that many businesses are facing with COVID today. Put simply, it lets your staff book time in the office according to rules, such as limiting the number of people in the office, or even in a particular part of the office. Plus, it sends a quesitonnaire to confirm the health of staff before they come in.

Most significantly, it all works via Slack, so users don't have to remember how to access Officely.

I also discovered that, after using it for a while, extra features magically 'unlock' and provide extra features such as automatically booking particular days (eg Every Wednesday and Thursday). The makers also seem very interested in feedback and suggestions from users for adding additional features.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

I dislike that it prompts me to confirm my vaccination status before every office visit, but I suspect that my company's administrator probably configured it that way.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Staff were cautious before returning to the office. We instituted a shared spreadsheet to manage who was coming into the office each day but that didn't work too well. Officely provides a much better experience.

  ### 42. Great and simple tool, no distractions!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aline M. | Digital Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

I like that Officely is integrated into Slack, so we don't have to download a separate app or use a different platform (which means more passwords and extra clicks). It's visually simple, with just the right amount of notifications to keep us from being distracted from our work.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

I can't count the number of guests visiting or working in the office against the number of available desks. If I have more people coming on a particular day and some external guests, the available number of desks is incorrect.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We can now estimate the number of people who will attend on a particular day. Spaces can be reserved in advance. We are able to do contact tracing with a single click of a button.

  ### 43. A convenient way to book into the office

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Laura M. | Operations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

An intuitive set up and ease of use for all users.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Nothing, it's very simple to use and set up

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Clear ways to book into the office into a variety of spaces. Benefits include seeing who is using the office, and who is not. Can we encourage those who aren't in the office to come back in?

  ### 44. Simple, to the point, well integrated with Slack

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David D. | Senior Front End Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

It integrates really nicely with Slack making it super easy to check-in when you're going to the office and see who's already in.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Only minor suggestion I'd have is to integrate with Google Calendar's "home or in office" status indicator vs. having a separate calendar.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Contact tracing / awareness of who's coming in to help decide when to come in yourself.

  ### 45. Officely reliability

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Excellent for tracking staff attendance in a large building / in different rooms or with people on/ offsite.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

I think their could be more precise options, e.g hours

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Recording attendance, limiting the number of dogs in the office to what's needed and having an idea of overall staffing amounts.

  ### 46. Great tool!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 02, 2021

**What do you like best about Officely?**

It is a very intuitive platform with smooth and easy integration with another pre-existing tool our team uses! It matches our current needs, and it is great that they've thought about not only office seats available but arranging those seats per Department (or Neighborhoods as Officely names it). Even having further options to be considered (Parking slots, pet-friendly office, lunch) is a plus.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

At this stage, there are no integrations on the App that I dislike (neither our team, based on the feedback I collected). The only point of improvement I'd recommend would be to create further details for the Parking Slot option  (number of slots available, book according to certain period).

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As it only takes a few clicks to schedule our attendance at the office (saving time for all our team members), no need to use Excel files! It was a breaking point for us!

  ### 47. Fast and efficient, user friendly and cost effective

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Evan P. | Office Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2021

**What do you like best about Officely?**

No need to login to a separate platform to get access and book a desk, it takes just a few seconds to book your desk actually.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

Nothing. It is missing features like interactive maps, but in my experience, users don't care about them. They care about a fast and efficient solution.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Health controls automate a lot of admin work that would otherwise need to be done manually.

  ### 48. Easy to Install & Use, seamless integration with Slack

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amit S. | Head of Operation, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Found super east to install, use and integrate
one of best and seamless integration with Slack

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

It was perfect for my need, actually didnt dislike anything, it was sort of perfect for my need

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Managing desk booking across various office location auto with out hassel

  ### 49. Great product!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Defense & Space | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Very easy to navigate user interface. I love the simplicity!

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

The inability to book meeting rooms (although I understand that's on the way!)

**Recommendations to others considering Officely:**

Go for it - you won't regret it!

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It's taken away all the manual admin involved with desk booking - now our team can book whenever they like.

  ### 50. Ideal for a hybrid company; simple, easy to use, and had immediate buy-in from senior leaders.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jack A. | Executive Assistant to C-Suite, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2021

**What do you like best about Officely?**

Being built within Slack, the UI is comfortable to use, and requires no extra 'onboarding' to pick up.

**What do you dislike about Officely?**

There are natural limitations with it being within Slack. Some of my colleagues want interactive floorplan desk booking; I don't know if this is possible.

**What problems is Officely solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We've realised that people prefer certain days of the week; as such, we can adjust our cleaning schedule to ensure Covid compliance.
