None of the other software we tested before choosing BigMarker had a full feature list that worked so well for events. Zoom, which is the go to software for many of our competitors was very limiting, although there was some effort needed to educate our client that there was a …
Chose BigMarker
I've been using this for so long I honestly don't know what else is out there. I am THAT satisfied!
SmartSuite
Chose SmartSuite
It seemed to me it would be better to switch on SmartSuite as Asana didn’t have some features I looked for. SmartSuite is more detailed than Asana, and also a good point for Share view for clients.
Chose SmartSuite
For our team, SmartSuite contains all features that we need. Before we use Asana, Trello and tried to use Airtable. But all of these management systems did not satisfy us. Then we started using SmartSuite, got to know all the possibilities and decided to switch to it
Chose SmartSuite
SmartSuite is just beyond compare! You have everything you need in one place and you don't need other products.
Chose SmartSuite
Well, Asana was just too simple for our use case, we couldn't get into the details as we could with Smart Suite. As for Jira, it is exactly the opposite, it was just too had to use and our team members just stop using it based on the time they need to spend in order to use …

It is best suited to be a google alternative for a google drive due to its multiple functions. Can add action items, upload multiple types of files and assign people responsibilities and tasks. It combines resource platform abilities with project management functionality in order to unite all your needs in one area.

Cons
  • The biggest drawback that I am facing for a long time is that BigMarker is not very effective while integrating with other third-party software [in my experience]. It was not an easy task to set up with other meeting platforms that I was using already in the organization.
  • Secondly, the audio starts lagging, and sometimes the audience cannot listen to the audio which [I feel] needs to be fixed on an urgent basis.

Usability
BigMarker is a great piece of software and provides a good solution for our live streaming service.
Its very usable and due to its full feature set, we are able to quote on jobs quickly knowing that BigMarker is capable of meeting the clients needs. We find the remote guest feature to be somewhat limiting, but only because we are looking to provide very polished video to our clients, we use external software to stream direct to BigMarker.

Support Rating
The support staff is exceptionally doing well. They
are always available for the solution of queries. Listen to my queries very
patiently and provide a solution of problems in the limited time duration and
solve the query. The technical staff is also working well. I recently faced some
errors in handling the progress of tasks and I send the feedback to their team,
they responded to that feedback and corrected these errors and bugs immediately.
Always welcome to feedback them about their platform.

None of the other software we tested before choosing BigMarker had a full feature list that worked so well for events. Zoom, which is the go to software for many of our competitors was very limiting, although there was some effort needed to educate our client that there was a better way. We also use Vimeo, but this is only for simple live stream video delivery, Vimeos Q and A and other features are very basic in comparison. GoToWebinar doesn't compete

Well, Asana was just too simple for our use case, we couldn't get into the details as we could with Smart Suite. As for Jira, it is exactly the opposite, it was just too had to use and our team members just stop using it based on the time they need to spend in order to use Jira. I would say Smart Suite is a healthy balance between those two allowing for the business to be super specific with their workflows but not putting a lot of overhead on the employees.
