Thousands of Happy Customers All Around the World Prefer Cogsworth over Sumo Scheduler

SUMO Scheduler was founded in 2008 and during this time they have built a feature rich platform. Not exposing price points suggest an enterprise level software product with enterprise level pricing. Lots of features compared had to come from the public marketing page as access was limited. SUMO Scheduler is an Enterprise Customer Engagement Platform and specializes in appointments for Retail, Banking & Financial Services, Government Offices, Education and Health & Wellness.SUMO Scheduler provides the following as part of the platform:- Analytics Builder- Appointment Scheduler- Instant Booking Wizard- Event & Class Scheduler- Queue SchedulerUnfortunately the system does not perfectly integrate directly with Outlook and viewing multiple user calendars at once is a little clunky, but Salesforce integration is definitely a plus.The above feature comparison was performed by our users who were SUMO Scheduler users, and may not be 100% accurate. If there are amendments that you find that need to be made or if you want to confirm the existence / non-existence of certain features please contact us on support@cogsworth.com.

We didn't use anything like Cogsworth - we did this manually, in house. Took a ludicrous amount of time and I would not have known where to even begin looking for a tool like Cogsworth. When I started at Network I knew there was a need, but wasn't familiar with tools like Cogsworth and was too busy doing things manually to research a solution. If it wasn't for my husband casually mentioning he thought Cogsworth would be useful, I would never have known how much time we could save. I wonder if there's a market in organisations that offer training or consulting? If you need a quote or an ambassador to hit up the NFPs, I'm happy to sing your praises. Seriously, I love Cogsworth.

Taking bookings has always been a total pain for me. My life is chaotic. Trying to work out my diary is horrible. I researched a whole tonne of systems - Acuity was the runner up. But I just didn't like something about their bantery tone. You guys had good reviews. And I thought the price was fair. I LOVE your add ons. I can see how I can grow without a huge jump. And it's so incredibly intuitive. I set the whole thing up in about 6 hours.

We use Cogsworth for scheduling patients and have integrated it into our patient booking. Cogsworth supports a number of teleconferencing solutions for virtual appointments and allows for customization of just about every single thing the customer will ever see from you. I absolutely love the instant SMS texts when a new appointment comes in.

Makes booking easy with either assigned landing page or easily integrate into own web app. The configs are self-explanatory. Team members (under Staff) and Google calendar sync feature. Another big plus is the email signature which has a CTA to your booking page.

Cogsworth is feature-packed and so intuitive to use. Some of the features include multiple services, calendar integration, payment, buffer times, ability to select different types of meeting locations (physical location, online, etc), group bookings and the list goes on! In addition, I love how intuitive the tool is! It's easy to get setup and running FAST!
