Product Review: Virto SharePoint Calendar Web Part
Introduction:
Virto SharePoint Calendar Web Part enables users to view all of their events from multiple data sources such as SharePoint Lists, Exchange Calendar,
Google Calendar, SalesForce Calendar, SQL Tables or XML
and have different views for your easy navigation and reference in one single calendar/or Microsoft
Exchange calendars and even from SalesForce Calendars.
Virto SharePoint Calendar replaces the existing SharePoint calendar view's functionality by allowing users to specify the list or view, color code the displayed items by category of events such as internal or external, view day, week, month, year, and Gantt view.
Roll up Multiple calendars from different data sources into one Single calendar
The main added value of the SharePoint Calendar web part is the opportunity to
have all the events from different data sources displayed in a single
SharePoint calendar view, sparing the necessity to switch between
multiple views. You can also combine all events from different SharePoint Sites into one calendar! It can show all your events
from different SharePoint 2013, 2010 or 2007 lists too. So you can manage events from different data sources in one calendar.

Use as SharePoint Calendar data sources SharePoint lists from different site collections, SQL tables, Google calendar, XML source, SharePoint lists from other farm, Exchange calendar, SalesForce calendar. This is in comparison to most other SharePoint calendars that can only use one data source, and be displayed in only one view.

features will help you save time and complete your calendar tasks with
