    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.

    UserVoice
    UserVoice can be an affordable and powerful tool to start engaging customers and employees. It can help manage the entire feedback loop process. But your product management and development teams still need to do their jobs. Remember to have a response SLA in place and ownership for prioritizing and responding to the feedback.

    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

    UserVoice
    • User interface is very simple. Learning the product and teaching the team how to use the product took hardly any time at all.
    • Gives visibility into what others are logging. We are able to append 'votes' to certain ideas, rather than having to create an existing idea from scratch.
    • Reporting. Tags allow to easily filter through ideas for roadmap planning.

    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.

    • Doesn't always catch obvious spam/we have to do a fair amount of blacklisting
    • Doesn't have multiple language options
    • No online/email tech support available. You have to call if you have an issue.

    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

    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.

    The day-to-day usability is good. More technical settings require a bit more effort.

    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.

    Always very responsible and helpful when an issue happened. They eat their own cooking when it comes to using their products.

    Have clear goals and owners established before you start using any tool like this. Very important to get accounts and rights setup so that there's no lag time in customer response once things go live. Make sure IT is involved if you plan to use the Single-Sign On (SSO) or any of the access control tools.

    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.

    I like the ease of integration into web and mobile apps for UserVoice. It's also a comprehensive bug reporting, user feedback, and knowledge base tool.

    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.

    • Transparency: Now we can handle better communication of requests with customers and internal stakeholders.
    • We can track better how many ideas are accepted and released vs rejected ones.
