Considered Both Products	RingCentral Events Samantha Rosen Event Manager Chose RingCentral Events The needs of the clients are of utmost importance to us, so we take their "must-haves" and "nice to haves" and most times they align with Hopins features. Incentivized Helpful? Fahmida Nisa Online Event Manager Chose RingCentral Events GoTo Meeting has its own merits but does lack on the functionality side of things as it can host a basic meeting and allow video/ screen sharing. Whereas on Hopin we can host multiple sessions at once in various 'rooms', allowing for networking, exhibition, and all … Incentivized Helpful? J Mendes Co-Organizer Chose RingCentral Events less reliable and professional-looking, but getting its features better really fast and for smaller events, I would prefer them to Hopin in the case of Meetyoo it has to do with its 3d capabilities that impress a lot compared with the boring although efficient Hopin look Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose RingCentral Events Hopin allows the creation of much more detailed and professional events vs zoom or Google Meet. It really allows you to build out each event fully with custom landing pages, info about guests, and more. Incentivized Helpful? MW Matt Wasowski New Business and Product Development, Events Chose RingCentral Events Hopin stacks up against the others with better studio and better analytics. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Executive Chose RingCentral Events More robust options than GoTo Webinar. Perceived to have better security features than Zoom. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose RingCentral Events Hopin aligns more closely with the community feel we were wanting. Incentivized Helpful? Carl Myers Chief Technology Officer Chose RingCentral Events Different use cases really - Hopin was more suited to what we wanted to do Incentivized Helpful? Melissa Emler Owner Chose RingCentral Events I actually have a bone to pick about this. I want Hopin to incorporate or copy Bevy's community feature. Bevy's conference feature SUCKS. And Bevy is really expensive for the value. BUT...I love the analytics, the built-in email service provider, and a few other things in Bevy's… Incentivized Helpful? Verified User C-Level Executive Chose RingCentral Events Hopin has more spaces to host concurrent sessions (vs creating multiple Zoom links) Incentivized Helpful? JR Jerry Roberts owner Chose RingCentral Events I checked into GoToWebinar, Webex, Webinar Jam, and others. I have used two of those in the past, with varying degrees of success. With my current products, I needed to upgrade into a more full-fledged conferencing platform, one where I wasn't on the tech support line every … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose RingCentral Events We did use events like Expo-IP and MEETYOO and some other not-listed options. We opted for Hopin because of its customer support and scalability, as well as its ease of use. Incentivized Helpful? John Fitzgerald Creative Director Chose RingCentral Events Hopin's single-stage and closed environment work well for our needs. Incentivized Helpful? Will Miller Chief Growth Officer Chose RingCentral Events Hopin has always topped our evaluations as the best platform providing the most complete range of desired features for the price they offer. For us, they lead the way in events platforms, and unless the group of people is small, we will use them as our first option for events … Incentivized Helpful? Nicholas Kouvatsos Marketing Director Chose RingCentral Events Airmeet was the most comparable to Hopin. It had a very similar interface. The networking feature was a little better in my opinion because it offered "round tables" where you could see the table and see how many were already seated at the table and join the table if you wish. A… Incentivized Helpful? John Lawson Founder Chose RingCentral Events Airmeet has many worthwhile features, but ultimately I go with Hopin because of its rapid expansion. As for all the webinar platforms I've used, like EverWebinar, they're not in the same league. Not even close to the quality and functionality. Incentivized Helpful? Tamra Simons Coach Chose RingCentral Events Hopin is zoom on steroids. Incentivized Helpful? NS Nathan Spencer Director Chose RingCentral Events We were with a company before Hopin - we explored elsewhere due to cost. Pros were design and custom look. We moved to Hopin, it was innovative at the time, although the design wasn't strong the features were. The majority now have the same features. So we did leave Hopin … Incentivized Helpful? Tracey Major Event Manager Chose RingCentral Events Hopin's feature list and integrations were far superior to Bizzibo. Hopin's support team also blew Bizzibo out of the water - and not just during the contracting and onboarding process but also a year later, we are still seeing the same levels of excellent customer service. Incentivized Helpful? Margaret Shaeffer Head of Field Marketing & Events Chose RingCentral Events Hopin has the easiest user interface for both customers and internally, replicates the in-person environment for engagement as close as possible, and sets up very easily. It doesn't take a huge team or months to implement. You can get up and running quickly, and the platform … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose RingCentral Events Definitely better suited than the others for conference-type events. We prefer to use zoom for others because of the breakout feature. And AnyMeeting works well for us for webinars. Incentivized Helpful? Crystal Segura Senior Advertising Manager, Diversity Campaigns Chose RingCentral Events I've used Bizzabo for larger-scale events compared to Hopin, but they both are competitive and comparable. Incentivized Helpful? Nathan Linkon Senior Software Engineer Chose RingCentral Events It has a very responsive customer service unlike many other famous and popular platforms so it is a great sigh of relief because as a user I am confident that whenever I come across any hurdles and discrepancies in the software the team will be there to sort it out. Moreover, … Incentivized Helpful? CO Clinton O'Brien COO (Chief Operating Officer) Chose RingCentral Events We selected Hopin after shopping around for similar tools (it seemed like a fairly short list at the time). Hopin seemed to have the best reviews from people who had used the platform. Helpful? Ashley Jenkins Event Coordinator Chose RingCentral Events Hopin is an all in one platform, that requires little integration. They are building and updating the product more and more each day so that it's the platform has all the features that you need. From registration to hosting the event, to post-event reporting, Hopin has it all. … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	RingCentral Events
Likelihood to Recommend	RingCentral Hopin is very suitable for large events involving 100+ people where there are only a couple of people speaking. You can have a bunch of features such as networking and all in all, is quite a professional experience to use. For smaller groups, It takes too much effort to set up and isn't worth using over Google Meet or Zoom. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	RingCentral Awesome for managing several sets of panelists Very easy to manage event attendees Love the chat functionality during the events, enabling the audience to connect with each other Hugely simple for anyone with little tech knowledge to design and run an event Cost effective for the volume of events we run, where we need scale and quality Live streaming an event is also very well catered for Branding across the platform is simple to implement Incentivized Will Miller Chief Growth Officer Read full review
Cons	RingCentral The biggest hangup we've encountered is from guest speakers who need to join us on either tablets or smartphones. Hopin doesn't play well with mobile devices for onscreen guests. I'd like to see the broadcasts in vendor booths be recordable in the way broadcasts in the sessions or on the stage are. Incentivized John Lawson Founder Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	RingCentral We most likely will, but with such a high annual renewal rate, we are forced to look at alternative solutions yearly when that license fee comes due Incentivized Nicholas Kouvatsos Marketing Director Read full review
Usability	RingCentral I'm a pretty tech-savvy person but I still feel that Hopin was pretty user-friendly even for those of you who are less tech-savvy. Great thing is, you can play around and test the platform with the free version which allows you to get familiar with it before committing to the paid. I learned most of it on the free version which then made me more confident when deciding to use the paid version. Not only did it help me on the setup side, but it also proved to me that this was what we needed to do what we needed to do. Incentivized Brian Burge Creative Media and Ideation Read full review
Support Rating	RingCentral For the most part you're able to get a response from a support person within a few minutes, but there was a stretch when Hopin was reshuffling its staff that it sometimes took 24-48 hours, which is too long. However, as long as the staff remains stable - which seems likely - then its Support team is usually quite responsive.

Alternatives Considered	RingCentral We were with a company before Hopin - we explored elsewhere due to cost. Pros were design and custom look. We moved to Hopin, it was innovative at the time, although the design wasn't strong the features were. The majority now have the same features. So we did leave Hopin for another platform again because we wanted a custom look, and we were preparing for hybrid. Hopin wasn't ready. We soon realised other platforms we came across are complex, difficult to use. We left and came back to Hopin. Incentivized NS Nathan Spencer Director Read full review
Return on Investment	RingCentral Without Hopin, it would have been impossible to host an event at the scale and user interface that we did, with the staff limitations we have. Hopin enabled us to execute a very high standard with limited resources. For example, before Hopin, we could only attract about 100-200 attendees. With Hopin, we 3x our registrations and attendees. The data collected from their system on attendees allows us to more accurately speak to our target market based on their tracked habits during the event.
