User Testimonials
	Gather	VR Maker by iStaging
Likelihood to Recommend	Gather Presence Inc. Gather is best used as a company hub and a place to get a sense of fellow staff members' activity. It lets staff express themselves with their own space. It's also great for impromptu or quick meetings. Gather does not replace more serious meeting tools like Zoom or Google Meet. It's had a difficult transition to its version 2 with missing features, but they are working on it and improving quickly. Some staff may not enjoy the video game look or having to show up in the app. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	iStaging Their tools are super user-friendly and their staff have been very helpful along the way.

Pros	Gather Presence Inc. alert for messages Being able to have several spaces for communication for free constant updates Incentivized Hiram Canseco ETL management Read full review	iStaging User-friendly. Interactive. Supports all types of multimedia. Alex Teplish Author Read full review
Cons	Gather Presence Inc. Some people have trouble finding the controls the first time I use Gather Town during my training sessions with Zoom. A direct link to Gather Town woiuld be nice, Being able to integrate Gather Town IN zoom would be amazing. When people interact in a small group, a larger icone with their face would be nice Incentivized François Lavallée president Read full review	iStaging Custom 360 thumbnails.

Usability	Gather Presence Inc. Overall, it's great to use. There is a slight learning curve for staff who are unfamiliar with video game mechanics (Moving around a virtual world, managing their view), but most learned very quickly. Meetings generally just work and are quick to connect; however, video quality is often lower than in other conferencing apps.

Alternatives Considered	Gather Presence Inc. Pretty easy to use. This is the ONE criterion I go by when ai try a new app. Some participants had some problems using the app in the first few minutes but after this, they really enjoyed the tool. Compared with the other interactive app I used, the learning curve was very short. So overall, Gather Town is one of the app I got back to. Incentivized François Lavallée president Read full review	iStaging I've looked into Artsteps and a few of the latest Meta makers and did not find them as user-friendly or robust.

Return on Investment	Gather Presence Inc. Considerable money savings since it has a free tier option When required, a space for more than 100 people is contracted and we can canceled immediately. social events have been carried out virtually thanks to this tool Incentivized Hiram Canseco ETL management Read full review	iStaging Innovative method to teach.
