Skedda Reviews

“reliable office booking platform”

Pros

It is a user friendly platform that makes office space booking and scheduling much more organized and accessible for multiple people to use.

Cons

Honestly, I don't have anything I really dislike. I've mostly used it for scheduling and booking conference rooms and haven't explored much beyond that but for those basic tasks it has been a very dependable platform.

“easy to use”

Pros

Using this app has been really easy. The floor layouts are simple but still detailed enough to show exactly where I'm booking a room or workspace which makes the whole process very clear. I also really appreciate the Google single sign on feature.

Cons

At this point, I don't really have anything to complain about since it works the way I expect it to. A few of the views can feel a bit overloaded with information but that's also balanced out by having different view options to choose from.

“Lets me update rooms in no time”

Pros

This platform has been really simple to work with. I can update rooms in no time, rename spaces quickly and clearly label rooms, offices, workstations and even offsite locations. The Single Sign On connection and dedicated app also make everything very convenient to access and manage.

Cons

My only real issue with this is the Outlook integration. When you think you're approving a booking, it also seems to accept the calendar integration and then it blocks out the entire time in your calendar. It just feels a bit odd.

“simple booking for coworking”

Pros

At our compnay, this app has been a hit. It's simple to use and makes booking a meeting room in our beautiful coworking space quick and convenient.

Cons

One thing we'd love to see is 10 rooms included in the AllBooked Core subscription. It would also help if booking conflicts showed up earlier, before having to enter all the details for a room reservation.

“flexible setup”

Pros

One of the best parts is how much you can customize each field to match exactly what you need. That flexibility makes Skedda work well for all kinds of uses, whether it's office planning or organizing truck bays.

Cons

The downside is that it doesn't feel as user friendly to me as some other apps. That said, I also know people who actually prefer it so it seems to come down more to personal taste and aesthetics.

“Clear room booking visibility”

Pros

Being able to view all rooms at once makes booking much more convenient and helps a lot with scheduling.

Cons

Its reporting tools are limited and not practical enough to use effectively.

“fantastic tool for the office”

Pros

Adding this tool to our tech stack has been incredibly worthwhile for managing office space reservations without any trouble. The Outlook and Teams integrations work really well and make adoption simple for staff and features like the interactive floorplan across all office locations are a big plus.

Cons

At this point, I'm genuinely very satisfied with the product. They introduced some major improvements this year that resolved the concerns we had before.

“Amazing flexibility”

Pros

It has been fantastic for us. The interface is clean, it's simple to use and the level of customization you get at this price point is really impressive. The Zapier integration has also been a huge win for our team and has completely changed how we use the software.

Cons

Something that really frustrates us is the time granularity. I hate even bringing it up because this has been such a sore point and I noticed another reviewer mention the same problem. It puts real limits on how we can use the system and we end up over scheduling or under scheduling quite a bit just to make it fit our needs. What adds to the frustration is that it doesn't seem like it should be that hard to fix. It would also be really helpful to set an event type natively. We've worked around that by creating a custom field but from what I've seen, there's no way to filter by that custom field in Zapier.

“brilliant for hot desking”

Pros

With our office set up around hot desking, this tool makes it really easy to reserve a seat and know there's a place waiting when we arrive. It's very simple to use and basically does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Cons

Having a reminder or alert 24 hours before the booking would make it even better. That could help cut down on no shows, where the office looks fully booked but desks still end up sitting empty.

“Very easy to use”

Pros

Booking has gone over really well with our faculty because the system is easy to use. At first, I had to spend a little time showing them how to reserve multiple rooms in one booking since many of them were picking each room separately and getting frustrated about entering the same times, dates and materials again and again. After that brief training, they became much more satisfied with how simple the process is. SSO has also worked out well for us even though our IT team needed some time to get it fully set up. Another feature we appreciate is the ability to create specific views so if someone wants to check whether a certain space is open on the calendar, they can just use a view as a filter for that area. Faculty have also reacted very positively to the graphical layout of the center because it gives them a visual sense of the space. On top of that there are plenty of customization options for tag colors, booking rules, access conditions, tags and space details, including the ability to add photos of the rooms.

Cons

My biggest frustration has been the way scheduling data is formatted when copying the feed link for use on an external calendar. It works well enough for individual users but not nearly as well for administrators. I use that feed link with a digital sign in our center hallway and when the link is copied from the integrations tab, there are no options to control what information gets displayed. As a result, it includes details I do not want visible to the public especially the name of the person who made the booking. That kind of information should stay internal and I wish there were a way to exclude it. Skedda seems to offer that kind of control at the individual level but not from the administrative side, at least from what I have seen. Another issue is that the feed shown on the digital sign will not properly display multiple rooms unless they are entered as separate events. If I create one booking that includes several rooms at the same time, the sign only shows the event name, the first room number and then "+ other" instead of listing every room. The only workaround is creating a separate event for each room which is annoying and takes extra time. I have also noticed there is no "Today" button when viewing the schedule which would make it much quicker to jump back to the current date. In List mode, the column widths cannot be adjusted so you cannot expand or shrink them to see the full booking information more clearly. The tag system is useful once everything is set up but it feels a bit awkward at the beginning. I have our scheduling configured so only users with tags can make bookings and once they are added and tagged, it works very well. The problem is with new users signing in through SSO because they come in without a tag and cannot book anything until I manually assign one. That is manageable with a small number of people but it becomes a real challenge when you are dealing with hundreds of new users.

“simple rollout and setup”

Pros

Getting the product up and running on our side was very simple.

Cons

The number of bookable spaces is fairly limited and it is also not very obvious to see who has reserved each space.

“great organizational tool”

Pros

This platform is one of the better organization tools out there. It's very practical, flexible and easy to roll out and its innovative features make it possible to handle event bookings between partners really well.

Cons

Honestly, I appreciate this tool a lot. The only downside is that the display can be slow at times.

“fantastic visitor management tool”

Pros

Between the visitor management tools and the room booking features, Skedda has been really helpful. Scheduling is effortless and it's also nice that it works well on mobile devices so bookings can be made online without any trouble.

Cons

Up to this point, I haven't run into any issues worth mentioning.

“Very user friendly”

Pros

A very user friendly and professional tool for handling reservations and managing projects. It's good at what it does and offers even better features.

Cons

It stays simple and professional and I've never run into any problems with it.

“outstanding support team”

Pros

Setting it up was quick and the platform is very simple to use. Being able to hide user details on bookings is a really useful feature and the customer service has been excellent as well.

Cons

Integrations can be a little tricky to work with and the pricing is on the higher side compared to other alternatives.

“Helps me manage my schedule”

Pros

With this, I can manage my schedules confidently and the software is really efficient.

Cons

This platform works very efficiently so I honestly haven't run into any drawbacks.

“excellent planning tool”

Pros

It's the best scheduling product I've used. Its very professional, easy to use and really effective for managing tasks.

Cons

An excellent product that I'd definitely recommend. It's fantastic.

“useful for daily tasks”

Pros

This tool has been really useful for us because it has helped me a lot with my day to day tasks.

Cons

Only downside is that this software can be hard to find or access in certain regions.

“practical multi login access”

Pros

Really simple to use and the different URLs make it possible to handle multiple logins conveniently.

Cons

I wish it was available in more countries.

“super simple to use”

Pros

Very easy to use, with a quick setup process and different URL options that add flexibility.

Cons

Its free version is limited and it's not available in some countries.
