    Chose RingCentral Events
    Airmeet was the most comparable to Hopin. It had a very similar interface. The networking feature was a little better in my opinion because it offered "round tables" where you could see the table and see how many were already seated at the table and join the table if you wish. A…

    less reliable and professional-looking, but getting its features better really fast and for smaller events, I would prefer them to Hopin in the case of Meetyoo it has to do with its 3d capabilities that impress a lot compared with the boring although efficient Hopin look

    Chose RingCentral Events
    The needs of the clients are of utmost importance to us, so we take their "must-haves" and "nice to haves" and most times they align with Hopins features.

    Airmeet
    We never could really find a scenario where Airmeet really excelled over other major conferencing and webinar platforms. Especially post-COVID. It seemed overly complicated to set up an event and their support was somewhat difficult to deal with. The major platforms, conversely, made many improvements at a fraction marketed at a fraction of the cost. So most of Airmeet is really gimmicky from my experience. The students found it somewhat cumbersome.

    Hopin is very suitable for large events involving 100+ people where there are only a couple of people speaking. You can have a bunch of features such as networking and all in all, is quite a professional experience to use. For smaller groups, It takes too much effort to set up and isn't worth using over Google Meet or Zoom.

    • The biggest hangup we've encountered is from guest speakers who need to join us on either tablets or smartphones. Hopin doesn't play well with mobile devices for onscreen guests.
    • I'd like to see the broadcasts in vendor booths be recordable in the way broadcasts in the sessions or on the stage are.

    We most likely will, but with such a high annual renewal rate, we are forced to look at alternative solutions yearly when that license fee comes due

    I'm a pretty tech-savvy person but I still feel that Hopin was pretty user-friendly even for those of you who are less tech-savvy. Great thing is, you can play around and test the platform with the free version which allows you to get familiar with it before committing to the paid. I learned most of it on the free version which then made me more confident when deciding to use the paid version. Not only did it help me on the setup side, but it also proved to me that this was what we needed to do what we needed to do.

    For the most part you're able to get a response from a support person within a few minutes, but there was a stretch when Hopin was reshuffling its staff that it sometimes took 24-48 hours, which is too long. However, as long as the staff remains stable - which seems likely - then its Support team is usually quite responsive.

    We were with a company before Hopin - we explored elsewhere due to cost. Pros were design and custom look. We moved to Hopin, it was innovative at the time, although the design wasn't strong the features were. The majority now have the same features. So we did leave Hopin for another platform again because we wanted a custom look, and we were preparing for hybrid. Hopin wasn't ready. We soon realised other platforms we came across are complex, difficult to use. We left and came back to Hopin.

    • We were able to invite 10x more investors from overseas since it was online
    • Able to quickly and easily market the event with a single link

    • Without Hopin, it would have been impossible to host an event at the scale and user interface that we did, with the staff limitations we have. Hopin enabled us to execute a very high standard with limited resources. For example, before Hopin, we could only attract about 100-200 attendees. With Hopin, we 3x our registrations and attendees.
    • The data collected from their system on attendees allows us to more accurately speak to our target market based on their tracked habits during the event.
