- Chime is a practical solution for an organization that mainly works virtually.
Amazon Chime Review
- Positive ROI
- Cost effective due to pay per use pricing model
- Safe meeting due to comprehensive security
- Being Amazon Product, app downtime is very low
- Chat collaboration and chat bot support in chat rooms for improved productivity
- Positive impact with increased efficiency of collaboration for staff
- If your organization integrates with Amazon or AWS it is quick to deploy
Not so user friendly but Cost effective solution
- Cost effective in comparison to other solutions
- Reduced efficiency because of less user friendly
Amazon Chime - Perfect, except by update process
- It's not cheap
- Very simple UI (great!)
- Quick setup
Clunky User Design, Screen Sharing Options Can Be Better
- Negative: we have to have multiple video conferencing tools, and Chime in particular if we want to have a video call with Amazon.
Great application for collaborating
- great tool for integration
- cost effective
- collaborating has never been easier
Amazon Chime Review
- Positive impact- ability to initiate meetings and recording meetings with [a] couple of clicks.
- Negative impact- Syncing with google calendar.
- Positive impact- solve business needs using Amazon Chime by collaborating with other departments.
Great product; but, low adoption rate.
- User based pricing so you don't have to buy licenses
- Low long distance price
- It's hard to get other companies to use as they use Zoom or Teams
Great product features and reliability
- The positive ROI is Amazon Chime helps make our sales reps more professional in their calls leading to an increase in closed/won deals.
- Amazon Chime has increased overall morale across our sales team because it has greatly improved our call processes when compared to other tools we've used in the past.
Amazon Chime'd my interest
- Inclusiveness of all employees across states.
- Things gets communicated better.
- It's a necessary technology to have now.
Reinvent Conference Calling with Chime
- Unlimited number of attendees in calls.
- Remote screen sharing helped with white boarding.
- Integration with Slack helped in file sharing and communication.
- Single sign on enabled easy integrations.
Teleconferencing Made easy
- Currently, there has been no ascertainable impact on our overall business objective. It has simplified teleconferencing to a large degree. As we learn to use all of Amazon Chime's features, we will probably realize more a greater ROI.
Great Alternative to Other Conferencing Software
- We have not seen a monetary ROI since implementing Amazon Chime, but we have seen many more people willing to do video conferencing than we did before.
A web conferencing tool that is easy to use
- Chime allowed us to gain efficiencies in our technology.
- The ease of use has lead to more web conferencing, which supports telecommuting.
Amazon Chime is great!
- Chime was a lot less expensive than our previous meeting/chat software.
- Users have quickly adopted Chime and seem to like using it.
A Easy Way to Chat
- It's been incredibly beneficial for communication throughout the company making it easier for all employees to connect.
Let me Chime in!
- Anytime that my teams do not have to have that frustrating first 5 minutes of a call asked if everyone can hear and are you on, makes life so much better and starts the meeting off on a positive note.
- Knowing that Chime is very reliable, domestic and international, gives me some peace of mind that my teams and I are in good hands. Communication is vital for our business and I feel confident in Chime.
- I would like our company as a whole using the same vendor for online conferences. We constantly try to streamline our vendor list, but I do understand the interface criticism. Amazon has never been known for its design aesthetic and user experience.
Amazon Chime. Industry Leading Name.. Product Potential!
- Amazon Chime has a positive impact on our organization with respect to reaching out and getting supported by AWS staff and Web services technical personnel.
- Amazon Chime currently does not cost us anything as our organization is a recipient of meeting requests more so then initiators. Given this, it is nice to be able to have access to a product as no cost.
- One negative aspect to Amazon Chime, but it is not Amazon's fault is that our organization has so many options to conference as it is. Amazon Chime just dilutes the pool. Our organization is a believer in centralized IT and centralized solutions. Having another conferencing solution makes it difficult.
Chime-ing in on Chime
- We use the free version, and we benefit from better access to discussions with prospective hires which can lead to increase win percentage.
AWS Chime has the right sound
- Cost is very comparable to Zoom meeting, can even be cheaper per month depending on use
- Most cost-effective product on the market
Amazon Chime Is Not User Friendly And I Don't Recommend It
- Amazon Chime has negatively impacted our ability to perform demos and calls. Some prospects are late to calls because Chime isn't working, or they give up and don't join the call at all.
- Amazon Chime also makes us look unprofessional when we have to ask them to download a conferencing software for screenshare meeting, when many other alternatives are web-based.
Go Chime!!
- Amazon Chime helps teams to be more efficient, productive and collaborative across the entire company.
