FoxDen (Discontinued) vs. JioMeet

FoxDen tended to work slightly better for very small video conferences. The audio was typically reliable, so it would be ok to use for audio conferencing. It is definitely not ready for prime time: it cannot handle very large conferences. It didn't seem ready to be used on mobile either. I also think it's better suited for a smaller company.

I can immediately start a meeting just by sharing the link with my coworkers or clients. I feel that joining a meeting is effortless in JioMeet.

• Easy to join meetings
• Audio is fairly reliable
• Moderately easy to host meetings

• JioMeet's interface is extremely easy to browse.
• It is very simple to start an online meeting on JioMeet.

• Horrible video quality. It basically never worked, and we stopped using the video feature.
• Buggy behavior all the time. Dropped calls, loss of screen sharing, rendered unusable most of the time.
• Poor response by the vendor to issues. The answer was basically "we know it's unusable, and we're trying to figure that out. There's nothing we can do right now."

• JioMeet does not allow the users to set password. There is an auto generated password.
• There are lagging issues with its screen sharing features.

I believe they selected FoxDen because we use ReadyTalk for voice conferencing and FoxDen represented a cost savings compared to our previous Skype for Business investment. However, in the end, most of our company has abandoned ever using FoxDen and, instead, still uses all of the products listed above (Skype for Business, Google Hangouts, Slack) or just plain ReadyTalk voice conferencing.

I feel that JioMeet is a good alternative to zoom.

• Increased the length of our meetings due to copious amounts of time spent trying to fix the video and screen sharing.
• Added frustration for everyone who attempted to use it.
• Ultimately resulted in a lot of money lost on video equipment that everyone stopped using in favor of voice-only conferencing due to the faulty video.

• It is very effortless to start a meeting in JioMeet. I can quickly share a link and start an online meeting.
• It is free of cost. I don't have to purchase it.
