Ayoa vs. Pop

It's great for small to medium business where you need to have tracked communication and conversations that can have milestones, deadlines, supporting files, and the ability to pass the task around to multiple individuals for completion. It's not exactly useful but with some work and maintenance can be used for issue tracking and work delegation

• Pair development
• Knowledge Shares
• Bug-reporting and explanation
• Audio/voice integration WITH video share
• Makes gaming very fun
• Copy/Paste works flawlessly from my computer to another screenhero users computer.
• Screenhero works with screen-recording software, so not only can I pair-develop, I can take video of a pair development session.
• I can't think of any reason why Screenhero wouldn't be suited for any situation. I would say that they need to bring back the option for a native app capability outside of the slack app like they did during the Slack merge transition.

• The user interface is intuitive and easy to learn.
• The ability to organize tasks by user, department, type makes it easy to keep on top of work.
• Ayoa is cross platform and has apps for mobile/tablet as well as the desktop app and browser version.

• Screensharing with all participants being able to take control of the screen.
• A visible mouse cursor for each participant helps keep everything clear and straightforward.
• The call quality very clear.
• Seems to be fairly light on bandwidth requirements.

Incentivized

• The administrative side of Ayoa is very limited.
• If a user accidentally deletes a board or leaves the company, it's a bit of a pain to get that data back.
• User administration is difficult and if a use who is invited selects the wrong link after registration they may get locked out of your invite.

• There have been some periods of time where the multi-user screen share option is not available.
• Recently there was a glitch where the app didn't end the call or establish the link well and it froze and kept calling the other user without them meaning to.
• Wish there was a user search option. The scrolling can get tedious when there are a large number of users in your network to choose from.

I've just started evaluating Planner with out recent upgrade to Business Premium but I'm finding that it could easily be used to replace Ayoa and would help offset the cost from the MS365 Business Premium upgrade by replacing another SaaS cost. It does almost all the same things, integrates in our already existing MS365 ecosystem, and is backed by Microsoft... it's just not as 'pretty' as the bubble boards

We originally chose Screenhero for ease of use as a quick solution to inter-team communication for teams separated by physical distance (cross country and in different offices). However: -Screenhero does not have a way to link up outside callers like Join.me and GoToMeeting have -Screenhero is not a catalogued internal chat communication platform like Slack is Screenhero is good at what it does, but is only one facet of a much larger solution

Incentivized

• Communication and follow-up has gone way up since we started using Ayoa.
• Accountability has also improved considerably since we started with Ayoa.
• It has unfortunately caused some burn out on some users because it had made it much easier to 'punt' work over to someone else without any prior communication.

• It allows cutting down required meeting time to solve an issue.
• Makes it very easy to debug problems on the remote end which could otherwise take forever.
• If you got in, it's free.
