The perfect solution to manage my workspace
Right out of the box, I was impressed by how easy the platform is to use and the sleek design makes it a breeze to navigate and book. The organization of the resources and the filtering options allow me to quickly find what I need and reserve it without complications.
Pros
I love it with just a few clicks, you can reserve and manage my desks, meeting rooms and other resources, without the hassle and confusion.
Cons
Sometimes I have experienced a small delay in loading the platform, especially when I have a large amount of reservations or resources. While this doesn't affect my overall experience significantly, a higher charging speed would be desirable for even smoother usage.

Great for booking rooms/spaces. Needs some improvement on functionality
Overall, our center is having a positive experience. As we learn how to use this more we are seeing that it is saving us time and headaches.
*Another recommendation that would be useful is to have more ways to send out automatic replies to users. For example, it would be great to have the ability to send out automatic reminders 24 hours in advance to our student users about their event. Being able to attach files to that automatic reminder would also be a boon.
Pros
1. I like that our faculty find it easy to book. I had to do a little training with them on how to book multiple rooms at one time as they were selecting each room separately and were complaining about having to put times/dates/materials needed in over and over again. With that little bit of training they are now quite happy with how easy it is to use.
2. SSO has also been a success, although it did take a while for our IT team to get this up and running. We also like that you can choose certain "views" if you want to see if a certain space is available on the calendar you simply create a "view" for that space and it becomes a filter. Faculty have responded positively to having a graphical representation of the center. It helps them see the space visually.
3. Great options for customization on tag colors, booking conditions, access conditions, tags, and space details that can include adding pictures of your spaces.
Cons
1. What I least like about Skedda is how it's scheduling data is formatted when you copy the feed link for use on an external calendar. It works great for individuals but not for administrators. I use this feed link with my digital sign that is in our center hallway. When you copy the feed link from the integrations tab it does not give you any options on what data is going to be shown. This link shows data that I do not want the public to see, specifically the users name who booked it. That should stay internally. I wish i had the option to not include that information. Skedda does do this on an individual level but not on a administrative level. At least not that I can see.
2. It also won't display (on the digital sign from the feed link) multiple rooms unless they are separate events. For example, I have an event going on that is using multiple rooms at once. If I create a single booking with multiple room selection, the feed link that the digital signs sees will display the event name, the first room number, and the + other. It won't show all of the room numbers unless you make an event for each room. That becomes tedious and time consuming.
3. There also isn't a "Today" button when viewing the schedule to make it easy to get back to the day's date.
4. When viewing the schedule in "List" mode, you cannot increase/decrease the size of the columns. This would be helpful to have when you want to increase the size of a column to see the entirety of the booking.
5. The tag system is helpful but it's a little clunky for initial use. For example, I have our scheduling system to only allow people with tags to book. Once they are in the system and tagged it works great. But this means that I will have some managing to do with my new users as they will be signing on using SSO and when they do that they initially will not have a tag, which means that can't book until i give them one. It's fine if it's only a few people but it becomes problematic with hundreds.

It's Everything We Needed. ...Almost!
Our use of Skedda has been amazing. We've been able to set the system up, create our spaces, add our admins, and set it up (through Zapier) to where only certain events are published to our digital signage system, and posted on our website. Unfortunately, the time granularity is a real problem for us.
Pros
Skedda is amazing, it's interface, ease of use, and customizability for the price-point it comes in at are amazing. The integration with Zapier has been a game-changer for us when it comes to using the software.
Cons
:-( The time granularity. I hate to have to write this part, because this is such a sore spot for us, but I also wanted to echo the other reviewer I saw who talked about this issue. The time granularity really constrains this system for us. We have to over/under schedule a lot of things, just to make the system work for us. I think what makes me a little sore when it comes to this, is that I can't see why it isn't an easy fix.
Being able to natively set a type of event would also be great. We are able to create a custom field (and that's what we've done), but I haven't seen that we are able to filter on that custom field in Zapier.

Skedda, a great way to monetize shared office space conference and meeting rooms
Pleased to find a way to easily schedule all meeting and conference rooms in our many locations and able to either provide use for free or assign a charge for the space, based on the co-share client's rental rate and contracts. So much better than paper signs taped to doors or paper calendars, etc.
Pros
Simple to use for anyone and easily see what's available at a glance. You can set up recurring reservations out as far as you wish.
Cons
Can't really find anything that doesn't work as we need. It's been easy and cost effective for our organization
