Great Interview Tool!!
Amazon has a very good audio and video quality. Chime's video conferencing feature works as expected there is no lag in the audio. If the internet speed is about 50 mpbs + then it works as a charm! At times the desktop can get slow but the mobile application is pretty fast as it uses fewer data.
Though mobile app navigation is easy it lacks some of the features. Screen sharing is easy and new person can join without any lag.
Microsoft Teams, hangout meets and Zoom, all are good with their own standpoint. All have pros and cons if compared to each other. Amazon is good for amazon and Microsoft is good with Microsoft. Google hangout is universally good and zoom is all-rounder but expensive.

Amazon Chime Review
- Zoom
Chime is less expensive in comparison to zoom.
- Zoom and Cisco Webex Meetings
Our reason for the selection of Amazon Chime was a client recommendation. In a comparison of other competitor's products, Amazon Chime provides similar functionality and features. From a pricing perspective, you may opt for pay-per-use pricing which could be confusing for some users. There are also basic and Pro subscription plans depending upon what you need. We did a free trial for 30 days and then procured a few accounts for internal and external use.
Users have a level of familarity with other market leading collaboration products.
However we selected this for the single dashboard for chat, calling, meeting and messaging specifically on phone app. There is a very simple interface with a minimum of clicks to launch the sub-app.

Amazon Chime - Perfect, except by update process
I have not tested Amazon Chime, against other market alternatives, as it is being used to meet a specific demand, which is communication with certain companies, as it is the preferred means of communication. But, it is a good tool and does not lose anything to the other tools on the market, except for the update process.

Clunky User Design, Screen Sharing Options Can Be Better
It's slower and the user experience is much clunkier. It seems like it was developed by and for other developers, not the normal public.

Great application for collaborating
- Skype for Business (formerly Lync)
Better than Skype for Business in terms of loading the application onto your device. Skype had crashing issues always and those are comparatively low when using Amazon Chime. Amazon chime is fast and easy to work with while collaborating and setting up meetings. The audio and video quality are better than Skype for Business.

Amazon Chime Review
All the mentioned above products are better if not rated much higher with the features they have compared to Amazon Chime. Amazon Chime does not support well with google calendar and other negative features I mentioned compared to other products. Amazon Chime lacks features such as blurring background images in video conferencing calls. Amazon Chime UI is a little out of date compared to other products, it needs an upgrade, nevertheless, Amazon Chime is used by any user to navigate around to create meetings, record meetings, chatting within the app, and etc.

Great product features and reliability
- Google Hangouts Meet, UberConference and by Dialpad
We chose Amazon Chime due to better pricing, ease of implementation, and great customer support from their team. Better product overall in terms of reliability.

Amazon Chime'd my interest
Amazon Chime stacks up cleaner and much more intuitive to Google Hangouts Chat. In comparison to Slack, Amazon Chime is much better because Slack is not conducive to having a face-to-face conversation, much less, screen sharing. Microsoft Teams was hard to use when some of our users had Mac computers.

Reinvent Conference Calling with Chime
Amazon's Chime is lightweight and has easy integrations with Slack. Cloud Trail has good call reports, doesn't take time to load compared to other products that I have tried. Its APIs exposed by Amazon are really helpful to customize. The shift from one user to another for screen sharing, remote control work with no hindrances.

Great Alternative to Other Conferencing Software
- Skype for Business (formerly Lync), Zoom and GoToMeeting
Amazon Chime product stacks up pretty much equal to the other pieces of software that we have used in the past. What drives the use of the software over the others is purely preference. My team has adapted to using this software, and now it has become what they would rather use. The features in the software are all pretty much the same.

A web conferencing tool that is easy to use
We used to use Go To Meeting/Go To Webinar for our web conferencing and AT&T Teleconferencing numbers, either separately or in conjunction with the Go To Meeting/Go To Webinar. I liked that Go To Webinar allowed people to pre-register, which gave us the opportunity to prepare. To date, we haven't been able to use Amazon Chime in that manner. However, Amazon Chime is easy to use, and integrates very easily with the Outlook calendaring feature, which is an enhancement over what we had before.

Amazon Chime is great!
Chime was a lot less expensive that WebEx. It was also easier to use and maintain.

A Easy Way to Chat
I would say Chime is step below Teams, but manages to get the job done. Chime is more straight forward and simplistic and meets all our basic needs for internal chat.

Let me Chime in!
They are all good products, but here is why we switched:
1. UberConf. This was the first conference software we used. It used to be great, it actually had a free version that worked perfectly. Then the service started to falter, mostly lag time between user and presenter. And then, the final straw, during someone in my offices' call, you heard the words "You must upgrade to continue to use the service" and it kept going in a loop. Ridiculous.
Skype and GoTo I use when my clients want to use it. I just do not like them because you have to download software on both sides. Very annoying and can make people late for a meeting.

Amazon Chime. Industry Leading Name.. Product Potential!
Amazon Chime WILL become an industry leader. Amazon is still behind WebEx and is gaining ground on Microsoft. The advantage Microsoft will have is the ability to embed in organizations through Office, and have that advantage over WebEx as well. We selected Amazon Chime as another platform because it aided in our support from the AWS Web Services Support Team.

Chime-ing in on Chime
- Skype for Business (formerly Lync)
I believe Amazon Chime is better, easier to use, and had better quality video/audio

AWS Chime has the right sound
AWS Chime is very comparable to Zoom meeting. Monthly costs are usually cheaper but are variable and can fluctuate. Reporting on AWS Chime is great but needs some additional back-end set-up that could be cumbersome. Overall... ease, quality, look and set-up is very easy. Equipment required, quality and cost is what makes this a great product.

Amazon Chime Is Not User Friendly And I Don't Recommend It
I have used GoToMeeting, which is a major competitor to Amazon Chime, and I can confidently say that GoToMeeting is literally ten times better. We rarely have any of the issues with GoToMeeting that we do with Amazon Chime. I highly recommend GoToMeeting over Amazon Chime because your meetings and demos will go much smoother and the user interface is much cleaner.

Go Chime!!
High quality of audio and video, and great meeting experiences.
- Zoom, UberConference and Join.me
Amazon Chime is great for call and video quality. It's pretty comparable to Zoom both in cost and capabilities. It's definitely superior to UberConference and Join.me, both of which are not particularly reliable. I have had call quality and the screen shares freeze up. Also, neither UberConference or Join.me have a video conferencing ability.
