LoopUp vs. Proficonf (discontinued)

It's fantastic for folks who have conference calls with folks outside your organization throughout the day. It does not have a video option though, so if you need that, look elsewhere. After each call, I get an email "receipt" which shows the length of the call and all participants.

Whenever you need to speak with someone who is not an experienced internet-user, Proficonf is the best. I mean there's a big green button you need to press. Sometimes you need to put your name. That's it. Even the old folks can handle it well. Also, we find Proficonf surprisingly good working with a non-stable internet connection. I mean, of course, quality is decreasing (they say it's adaptive), but the video remains smooth. Even in those cases, Proficonf has probably the smoothest video among all video conferencing services.

• Easily connect and identify users
• Allows for Screen Sharing
• Moderator can manage those in the call

Incentivized

• Super-easy to start a meeting
• Available from mobile phones
• Bunch of presenting tools

• The cost may be higher than a traditional conference line.

Incentivized

• They need to fix their iOS.
• Maybe more features would be good.
• Separate service for webinars.

Loopup is a cheaper alternative than GoToMeeting. You do sacrifice some of the features, but for most staff requiring a dial in and screen sharing it does the job. If cost reduction is at the forefront, you may want to look more seriously at LoopUp as a screen sharing tool.

Proficonf proved to be a bit better than appear.in in terms of video quality and features. Zoom and Skype weren't any good for us. Proficonf is completely web-based, so it doesn't require a download like Skype or Zoom. Proficonf has much better video quality, there's no competition on that subject. And it's so much easier to use. However Skype is also a messenger, so we are still sometimes using it.

• Everyone loves it and raves about the easy of use.
• Reliability, more than previous product.

Incentivized

• Increased quality of sessions
• Increased outreach to clients
• Save time
