Considered Both Products	VideoMost ES Ellen Sokk Internet Marketing Manager Chose VideoMost As I know our company has chosen VideoMost because it has a good trial period. During this period our department manager was able to check whether or not it was an appropriate format for us. And it turned out to be a good quality product that we have been using almost for 2 … Incentivized Helpful? Natalia Ruznyaeva Assistant Brand Manager Marketing Chose VideoMost Skype is complicated to use for work. Microsoft Teams is more expensive and has a lot of tools that are not necessary for us. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose VideoMost We had been selecting the best option for us using such characteristics as price, easy use, necessary tools (whiteboard, screen sharing and etc.) If I need to compare VideoMost with its rivals I can say 1. it is cheaper than Zoom 2. more easy and more convenient to use than … Incentivized Helpful?	Whereby RW russ winterbotham Founder Chose Whereby I find Zoom more complicated to use and harder to use because a lot of people do not like having to download things to their computers or devices and Whereby is so easy to get connected with . I like that Zoom offers larger rooms, but at this point the cost is not worth the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Whereby For me it was Zoom, Google Meet vs. Whereby. For me, the main idea was to make it easier for the clients (non-technical people) to join and starting to have a talk. For Zoom, it was too much, even for myself, and Google Meet always needs a calendar integration, but with Whereby … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Whereby I did not evaluate other applications against Whereby, because we had a very specific need, which was the partner that we would use the solution, only accepted to use Whereby, so, we accepted to use the solution. As it was for a specific period, there was no problem. And in the … Incentivized Helpful? Sara Marie Ambjørndalen Chief Operating Officer Chose Whereby Nicer layout than any other competitor by far, reactions for emojis pop up on your video (have not seen this anywhere else), easier to access (no downloads). Also, useful internally to always use the same URL, so if you have an ad hoc meeting everyone knows where to go. This … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Whereby Whereby offers better features and is easier to use than both Zoom and Google Hangouts. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Whereby We looked at BlueJeans, Zoom, and Google Hangouts. We selected Whereby because you can see multiple people (up to 12) in one screen. We also liked the interface. Incentivized Helpful? John Flett CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose Whereby Zoom I find clunky and not user-friendly as it's always asking you to do updates, attend their seminar trainings, and different codes. It's also expensive. GoToMeeting is much the same as Zoom. Incentivized Helpful? Alvin Landicho Cloud Integration Consultant Chose Whereby When compared to the other VC platforms, we found Whereby the easiest to use for users and invitees. The only install from a recipient's point-of-view is a Chrome extension. Zoom requires a download and an account to sign into. Microsoft Teams is only for other members on the … Incentivized Helpful? Michelle Sexton Recruiting Manager Chose Whereby You're able to create unique links for people to join and use words and phrases in the link for the invite. I think that helps you with branding yourself as a company. On Google Hangouts we're not able to do something like this, which is why I appreciate Whereby and being able … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Whereby Whereby allows you to see everyone instead of just the last few people to talk. It also has no software to download and install. It works on any device that can access a website. Incentivized Helpful? Michael Ball-Marian Senior Product Manager Chose Whereby I don't know that it is an apples-to-apples comparison because in most other cases I used these platforms alongside Whereby. The best direct comparison would be Google Hangouts. With Whereby, I think the video and audio are superior, the UX is superior, and it's just a better … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Whereby Whereby is a great tool for individual meetings or among small groups. It's super simple to use and very convenient. But if you need to have meetings with more than 10 people, a tool like Zoom is probably necessary. You'll have more options to control who can share and who can … Incentivized Helpful? Leonardo Barbosa Corrêa Sócio / Designer Gráfico Chose Whereby It is a very simple tool. It can be accessed by all very fast. Sometimes we do more than one videoconference simultaneously and Whereby helps a lot as a second option, especially with few participants. Incentivized Helpful? Hernán Silva Senior Front-end developer Chose Whereby appear.in was the least expensive alternative at the time my company used it. It included the right set of features for what we needed.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	We use it in the retail sphere. It is convenient to use screen sharing cause we work with lots of chats. I believe it is suitable for all types of companies due to VM's tools. It's difficult to say that it can be inappropriate for somebody because it is a thing that we use almost every day. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Whereby is well suited for making connections with clients and people who are not technologically savvy. It is very easy to use for the most part. It does not work very well when I am trying to screenshare and show demonstrations of excel spreadsheets, but not a lot of products do Incentivized RW russ winterbotham Founder Read full review
Pros	Wide range of tools Mid-tier price Good video quality Natalia Ruznyaeva Assistant Brand Manager Marketing Read full review	Easy to use: The app is very, very easy to use. Literally just create a chat room (input a name) and access it to chat. Call/video quality: I've experienced better call quality on appear.in than in almost all other chat and video conferencing services out there. Incentivized Hernán Silva Senior Front-end developer Read full review
Cons	Do updated not so often Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The paid version may have dial-in. But I have always used the free version. Dial-in is typically required for an "official" multi-purpose teleconference platform. I did have some trouble with larger groups (5+) when it was Appear.in but almost always use it for small 1-on-1 or 3 person meetings. Incentivized Michael Ball-Marian Senior Product Manager Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	We are using a larger tool suite that already includes video conferencing instead of our older approach of using different apps from different vendors. appear.in has a simple but great set of features but its pricing scheme is not as scalable as we really need in a 500+ employee company. Incentivized Hernán Silva Senior Front-end developer Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	Very easy to use, technical and non-technical colleagues have used it with no instructions needed. That says all about the app and services. Incentivized Hernán Silva Senior Front-end developer Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Never had to contact support, so we cannot give a rating for their overall support. When we noticed the audio was not always great quality, we simply educated our users to mute the mic and use the in-room conference phone which is connected via a dedicated VOIP link and had much better voice quality. The video performance varied by locations network speed and found it got much worse when the room size increased to over 4 connections. Incentivized Alvin Landicho Cloud Integration Consultant Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	After a recommendation from a partner, as the system is very easy to use, we simply start. Incentivized Leonardo Barbosa Corrêa Sócio / Designer Gráfico Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Skype is complicated to use for work. Microsoft Teams is more expensive and has a lot of tools that are not necessary for us. Natalia Ruznyaeva Assistant Brand Manager Marketing Read full review	I did not evaluate other applications against Whereby, because we had a very specific need, which was the partner that we would use the solution, only accepted to use Whereby, so, we accepted to use the solution. As it was for a specific period, there was no problem. And in the end, it proved to be a very stable, very fast solution, with no need for crazy plugins or anything. Basically, it was access[ed] and use. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	All employees keep in touch easily. ES Ellen Sokk Internet Marketing Manager Read full review	In general, any sort of online collaborations saves a lot on your budget. The meetings are rather more on time and can be efficient and short. Easy to drop-by and have a small talk with clients/teammates within COVID era. The URL makes you look fancy instead of a random hash. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
