Considered Both Products	movingimage Virtual Events No answer on this topic	RingCentral Events 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 Anonymous 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? Verified User Anonymous Chose RingCentral Events More robust options than GoTo Webinar. Perceived to have better security features than Zoom. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose RingCentral Events Hopin has more spaces to host concurrent sessions (vs creating multiple Zoom links) 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? 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 Anonymous 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? 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? 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? 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 Anonymous 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? 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. … 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. Incentivized 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
	movingimage Virtual Events	RingCentral Events
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	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	No answers on this topic	Hopin constantly is iterating to create a really user-friendly back-end system. As a company, it recognizes that event managers are being faced with the challenge of becoming virtual production technicians and mak[ing] that change easier to manage. Hopin's back-end studio broadcast system makes it easy to create a seamless stream between pre-recorded and live presentations, with additional branding assets to make the overall stream look more professional and put together. Hopin's networking and polling functionalities create great engagement within the platform that is measurable. Hopin's ability to integrate with Salesforce and Marketo makes the lead flow process automatic and saves Event Managers from having to transfer that data manually. Incentivized Tracey Major Event Manager Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	The customizing capability of their landing pages and event is extensive but difficult to do without a background in design. Although designed to be user-friendly, it still takes a large investment of time and learning to do well. The registrant join flow for their embedded registration form is lengthy and clunky. Thankfully if you utilize one of their many automation integrations, this isn't a necessary function. Incentivized Margaret Shaeffer Head of Field Marketing & Events Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	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	No answers on this topic	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	No answers on this topic	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	No answers on this topic	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 at scale. Incentivized Will Miller Chief Growth Officer Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Hopin has allowed us to extend our reach and become a go-to option for event organizers in the genre fiction space. We are able to host multiple events per month, some of which would require a mix of paid staff and volunteers with 10 times (or more! I've been on those teams in the past!) the number of people we need using the tools and automation in Hopin. The immersive experience converts 87% of attendees--either future event registrations or other products and services from us/our event partners. Incentivized John Lawson Founder Read full review
