I like UberConference much more than Webex. While a lot of our external vendors and clients are more familiar with Webex, UberConference is much easier to use and does not require you to download an app. Webex is also pretty clunky and requires you to switch presenters in order …

While GTM has more features for managing a conference, it is really geared towards larger meetings with someone who knows what they are doing on GTM to manage setup, muting, unmuting, chat, recording, etc.
UberConference is really great for licensing for the end-user and going …

Highfive has much better video streaming than Skype for Business. It allows for multiple attendees to stream at once and collaborate. The options for sharing your screen or desktop is good too.
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
I have used most of these products primarily as a user and rarely as a host. The one I have the most experience with is Join.me. I believe that product better matches my needs and is much more flexible for small meetings that I host from my laptop. What they do not have is more …

In my opinion, Zoom is a far superior product to Highfive because it has everything that they are missing. The ability to remove people from meetings was a huge pain point for us as people will forget to close out of Highfive and we had no way of removing forcing us to create …

This tool really centers on video and audio while the others are focused on connecting through screen-sharing, recording or hosting bigger meetings. If you just want to do meetings with your small teams, then Highfive is good enough. Otherwise, you may want to consider other …
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
We ultimately did not actually select Highfive. Zoom was more robust than Highfive was and we were already using Zoom for external meetings. We just decided to switch everything to the same licensing.
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
This was a very affordable conference call solution. It was incredibly simple to set up and customize with each of our team members. The other software solutions that we evaluated were good, but few were quite as simple and affordable as UberConference. We've tried other …
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
Webex is quite clunky. The user interface is not as simple to use as UberConference and you have to download an app in order to use it on your desktop. Because of this, new users are often late to meetings because of the time it takes to download the app. UberConference doesn't …
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
I haven't really used anything besides UberConference since I started my professional career. I know that RingCentral has something similar, but every other conference line I've seen has required a huge complicated PIN number. You won't believe how much of a difference that …
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
UberConference has a great platform that costs us nothing to use. We love it.
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
Zoom and RingCentral do not have a free version, to my knowledge. The technology for both is good but requires a download which causes delays for new users, especially when working with multiple clients.

Google Hangouts is my go-to but many clients do not have access to Google …
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
UberConference offering the conference line and screensharing functions for free was the reason we chose it originally. We looked at ClearSlide, Zoom and Webex, and at the time we looked at them they all required a fee and they had a lot more bells and whistles than …
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
UberConference works well but I think Loom might have a slight edge with screen share recording.
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
UberConference is comparable to the other platforms for conference calls. We use Zoom internally but vendors use it to schedule our demo calls for their products and services.
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
N/A - We have not worked to find other alternatives.
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
They all have a free version. They all have clear audio and video. Skype has unlimited amount of time allowed where Zoom and now UberConference limit your calls to 45 minutes and then they just cut out.
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
UberConference is so much more intuitive, easy to use, and easy to manage compared to FreeConfereceCall.com. The controls over user access and communication is unmatched, too. There's really no reason to ever use FreeConferenceCall.com once you experience UberConference.
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
UberConference is a much cleaner tool than the other options out there. I prefer to host all conference meetings so we can use UberConference and avoid the other choices. Any time I'm invited to a meeting and a PIN is required, it's become a chore and annoyance.
Chose Highfive (discontinued)
We selected UberConference due to its overall value: robust features and a competitive price.

The free version I would absolutely recommend, we've had some great use out of it for the past few years. Presenting, sharing screen, the conference line and some other features are all free. If we did need more analytics and more features, perhaps making it easier for the potential customer to share screen, we might re-start the search and we'd potentially rate UberConference lower, but for the free version it's been great for us.

Pros
Discontinued Products
  • I appreciate being able to select a local phone number: it adds credibility and convenience for in-market clients/prospects.
  • I like being able to customize the hold music. One of our employees wrote and produced custom hold music for Anvil, which generates discussion and engagement as an ice-breaker.
  • The screen sharing is easy-to-use and is far more reliable than in the past. Prospects and clients do not have to download any app to make it work properly.

Cons
Discontinued Products
  • Can be very laggy - I have been part of screen share conferences where the connection keeps dropping.
  • Call quality is not always the best.
  • Limited functionality - this cannot be your all-in-one go-to conferencing solution because there are no video call capabilities.

UberConference is more expensive than some of its competitors and we have not found a real advantage to using UberConference over certain less-expensive applications. UberConference charges per month per organizer and those costs add up quickly, so we will be moving forward with a more budget-friendly option in the coming months.

Usability
Discontinued Products
The interface is intuitive and stupidly simple, no complicated sub-menus or configuration settings. Easy to create a meeting space and then have others join with a link or dial-in PIN on the free tier. On the paid tier it's even easier with PIN-less joining and automatic reminder calls to get participants to join.

I haven't needed support for the most part, which is a positive for Highfive. It's intuitive and most features are straightforward to use. In the one instance that I did contact them, it took them longer then expected to respond, but they were able to answer my question once they did.

Uberconference is by far more reliable and has a better quality of service than the other providers in this space. I have never had a dropped call with Uberconference (unlike Skype and Hangouts). I do think they need to do more marketing because fewer people know about them than others and sometimes people decline to use the service so we have to use one of the other platforms to connect.

  • Our teams use this every day. It makes it easy to meet with clients and share a screen and display analytics.
  • Some of my clients thought that they need to register first to be able to contact me. It's bad that they are not notified in any way that it's enough just to enter its names and that's it.
