CrankWheel Screen Sharing vs. RingCentral Video

In my business, I am required to show people my product and go over the details with them in a webinar. For people on the go and away from a computer, this is the perfect answer to be able to share my product over their smartphone. It is highly effective. It is easy for me to use and for my client to use.

I would recommend RingCentral Video if a user or company is currently using RingCentral Meetings and is concerned with the security implications of using a Zoom-based platform. I would also recommend it if they are using O365 or G Suite presently. I would not recommend RingCentral Video if they are using MS Exchange on-prem. RingCentral Video is not as good as RingCentral Meetings, at present. It's also not as good as other meeting software, such as Cisco Webex.

• Audio quality is always good if we have good internet.
• Sharing the screen is easy and simple for every user.
• Reliability, as all the conference software we need to make sure it's there whenever we need it.

• Only a rudimentary add-in for Outlook if using on-prem Exchange
• Bugs in screen sharing that include an "application was minimized" error and the inability to share audio from a pre-recorded video
• No simple way to join a RingCentral Video from the phone app without typing in the exact meeting ID, which can be tedious.

Easy to use once it has been set up and onboarded with your company. Once you learn how to use all of the various features and dial out to other countries, it is a great product and in my opinion, superior to some of its competitors on the market currently.

RingCentral Video works basically as well as Google, Skype, and Zoom, however, those apps are more well known and much more industry standards. That is why we prefer them however we do use RingCentral as the backup and for some clients who prefer it for one reason or another. It is firmly on the second tier of options, but it is solid nonetheless.

• Hard to attach an ROI as RingCentral Video is in current competition throughout our organization with Microsoft Teams. For those who have been using RingCentral Video since we first began using them, they find the product well received by their external clients/customers.
