Microsoft Bookings and TimeZest:
A Detailed Comparison
What Microsoft Bookings Leaves out, TimeZest Builds in.
Managed service providers need more than a basic booking link. They need automation that updates tickets, syncs calendars, pauses SLAs, and actually reflects how MSPs work. That’s why TimeZest exists. It’s not just another scheduler, it’s the scheduling platform built for MSPs.
With deep PSA integrations, real-time availability, and a client experience that feels professional from start to finish, TimeZest eliminates the workarounds and fills the gaps Microsoft Bookings leaves behind.

5-Star Rated in the ConnectWise Marketplace
Where has this been all my life!? TZ has been a huge client experience booster. I have yet to calculate the time saved scheduling appointments but I know it’s a lot. Onboarding and training was a breeze.

A well constructed app, with a good API and every possible configuration option. Teams meetings? Check. Zoom calls? Check. You can even customize the workflow for certain appointment types. It pays for itself.

This has helped remove our need for playing phone tag; the tech can simply ask the client to schedule a time for follow-up and TimeZest handles follow-up, leaving our techs free to spend their time focusing on fixing client issues.
