    Communique Conferencing would be best suited for mid- to large-sized organizations that require reliability, scalability, and high data security. They can definitely support large-scale events that are customized to reflect the event's brand and objectives. You can go the self-service route or engage their project team as much as you need.
    Communique Conferencing is less suited for small, basic Zoom style events.

    SpotMe
    SpotMe is great if you would like your attendees to be engaged prior to your event and during your event. It can be used as an event app for personalized agendas, interaction, and gamification. This allows communication to/from attendees to be way more accessible and at their fingertips. It also allows them to feel more engaged in the event, especially if it is virtual.

    • I think with all technology, there is room for improvement - such as some outage/reliability.

    ON24 - A better platform, better support, much better pricing
    Patchable - They laid off a lot of staff this past year. This had a tremendous negative impact on the product quality and support.

    Return on Investment
    Communique Conferencing, Inc.
    • We always get positive feedback regarding the platform on our attendee surveys.
    • Their incredible support team saves us time and money. For example, there was a problem with a live stream at our last event. Although the problem was not on Communique's end, their experienced tech support team were able to provide insight that helped the on-site production company quickly isolate and resolve the issue.
