Enghouse Vidyo vs. Quire

I've had HR professionals ask about using it for interviews. Gone are the days where we have to spend hundreds of dollars to fly candidates in or limit ourselves to phone interviews. Vidyo with it's high reliability has saved the organization thousands in travel costs with candidate recruitment. Business meetings that can often be troubling to get leaders and executive all in one room, Vidyo has functioned extraordinarily well in bringing in people from home, on the road, or the airport. Mobile capabilities are easy and fast. Quick daily calls and chats in the office are probably best suited for the free options out there as Vidyo is not a free service like others. Better yet general phone calls will suffice.

Quire is useful for tracking daily to-do's or keeping track of a project. It's not as clean as some other software (such as Nuclino, for example) and can get a little messy when creating a Workspace. It was difficult for me to know what was private and what was visible to my collaborators

• I didn't have to sign up, I just need to log into the "room" I was supposed to, so unlike Skype or other instruments, I didn't need to spend time and create my own account.
• To be honest, the largest online class I've attended had 10 people in it (besides the teacher), but it was a good quality connection.
• I enjoyed the ability to ask questions or clarifications in the chat (without having to turn on my microphone, so that the teacher could answer the question when he/she finished the thought).

Incentivized

• Kanban boards that makes it easier to look at my tasks.
• Categories that help me organize my tasks into To-Do, In Progress and Completed.

Incentivized

• The design and the branding give little to be desired
• Customer support is below average
• The API must be rewritten and add more functions that are commonly requested.
• Project codes are not well maintained and hard to find.

Incentivized

• The Workspaces are not intuitive.
• No ability to set reminders for tasks.
• More could be done with priority levels (instead of just arrows).

Though not as widely used as Zoom or Google Hangouts, it is very competitive as far as features and usability

We have an internal tech team dedicated to setup and troubleshooting of Vidyo. This makes it very easy, because we have access to our own employees for help. Rarely have I or anyone I work with had to escalate something to Vidyo themselves, and we're lucky to have the internal administrators that run the show. Almost like Vidyo is ours and ours alone.

Friendly and prompt support. No issues.

Vidyo gives all of the competitors a run for their money. Since it works seamlessly, is easy to use, and has a clean UI. Screenshare could benefit from some work, like the ability to share multiple screens from different users at the same time. The search function could be improved, but overall, it's a great software.

Incentivized

Quire comes close to Nuclino, but Nuclino wins with its ability to create "cards" and organize a little more neatly.

• It did help us reach the objective of education - after a while, everyone had a chance to connect and the quality of video/audio once you're in is great. It's just getting there that isn't up to par (but hopefully would be changed in next versions).

Incentivized

• There has been a lot of time saved
• Overall clarity
