I just found this firm, looking for similar calendars. This team have put together a nice (though non standard Microsoft Office style) 'Google-calendar look' web part, with similar functionality to ours. In review, I think we have more options for the typical user such as:
- In our web part you can select which view of which list you would like and we allow you to overlay different views of a same list in different colors - e.g. My Events, Your Events in different colors from one SharePoint list and you can easily click our checkboxes to show/hide.
- In our web part you have Mini Calendars on the left for quick navigation.
- Ours is a little less expensive
- We offer iCalendar export for sharing to your Outlook, Google, or iCal calendars if needed
All in all though no doubt a nice web part and seems like a good alternative to ours if for some reason you want to spend more and not buy ours! Let me know what you like or don't like about their offering and if you agree with my assessment. As I said it's a good alternative and good luck to them (and all the makers of SharePoint web parts - we're a big community really). We'll include your ideas of improvements in future upgrades for our calendar! :)
