Ring Central Meetings Makes Meetings Easy!
- Screen sharing is wonderful in [RingCentral] Meetings. It makes presenting easy.
- Being able to mute and turn off cameras when necessary is a nice feature too.
- Switching from the computer to the cell phone when on the go is a nice benefit.
- [RingCentral Meetings] is always coming out with new updates. Sometimes updates are too frequent.
- Sometimes there is a lag when presenting especially when new updates just happened.

- Made meetings more efficient.
- Skype for Business (formerly Lync) and Microsoft Teams
Great meeting software at a fair price!
- Multi-device connectivity. Not all users have working microphones or video cameras installed on their device. RC Meetings allows users of all types to connect regardless what device they're using even if it's a standard old fashioned telephone line to dial into the meeting
- Host capabilities to mute other users and control screen annotation
- Invite function works great. It provides a quick easy way for users to join the meeting without much confusion
- Screen share functionality is rather limited in capability. Screen takeover functions seem limited to desktop devices (view-only for mobile device users)
- Interface feels a bit clunky. Workable for advanced technical users, but a bit confusing for older senior-level executives
- Integration with existing RingCentral software. Jumping between RingCentral meetings and telephone feels wrong, they should be integrated into one application for the business user with a standalone application for non-subscribers who wish to join the meeting

- Reduced time spent managing technical support issues (instead of customers describing problems, they can screen-share to help with the diagnosing process)
- Whiteboarding has been exceptionally helpful to sketch new concepts and save them for future reference
- Lack of capability to remote-control smart phones has limited it's screen sharing functionality for us, requiring the need for another software subscription to utilize that function.
Reliable and comprehensive solution, but not without its faults.
- Instant messaging features are pretty plentiful and user-friendly for the most part. It makes a quick question easier to do versus writing a long email, etc. It also adds a little fun to it with emojis and the different gif options if offers you.
- Remote collaboration, like virtual interviews, are easy as well. You just add a RingCentral meeting to the body of the email or invite and you click or dial in on it and you are in. The code is readily available and visible as well.
- The current concurrency for remote employees is only 100. After 100, no one else can log in and I think this is a downfall because if your company is large and has a large percentage of remote staff, we can't really leverage this tool fully so a patch update to respond to this would be ideal.
- Some smaller detail-oriented items can leave something to be desired i.e. updating your status within the chat window is cumbersome and not very straightforward. Also, sometimes window sizing and positioning can be annoying as well.

- It has had a positive impact. We replaced an archaic solution with a more modern, streamlined version or product. Like anything else, it has its downfalls and isn't perfect, but overall it's been a good product and has outshined its predecessors like Zoom and Skype.
- It also has an integrated office phone feature which has been great as our phones are essentially our laptops. It cut down on those costs and in general freed up space on our desks since we didn't have to have them anymore and everything is on our computer now.
- Zoom, Skype for Business (formerly Lync) and Adobe Connect
Solid solution but similar to others you might be able to bundle with other things you currently use
- Very reliable. It never breaks on any of our devices
- Call quality is always fine
- Installation is quick for guests joining the meeting
- It connects to Outlook and Google calendar so it's easy to add invites from within the applications.
- It's just like many other zoom-based meeting tools. They are all based on this single technology that is just rebranded
- Other zoom-based meeting tools might be cheaper or offer other things you might want
- Nothing negative about this meeting tool. I really do like it and there is no reason to not use it since we get it free with our RingCentral phone accounts.

- Since it came free with our phone service, it has saved us from purchasing anything else, so the ROI was certainly there
- It was easy to deploy with a group policy rule to all computers, so it took minimal IT time
- Since we already had VoIP accounts for all of our users, there was no other account to create.
- GoToMeeting and Skype for Business
- Recording training session
- Sharing screen with someone outside of the company
- Simply an audio conference
- When the VPN and RDP was broken, we started a meeting with the user's self so they could get into their computer. It's not great, but it worked in a pinch.
- To start a meeting right now and send the link to others is a cinch.
- Clicking a meeting link, installing the application, and get going.
- turn the audio or video on or off.
- Managing codes for multiple recurring meetings could be confusing at first
- Some advanced functions for large, public groups that I don't use might not be as obvious at first. I would certainly do a few demos of new features before doing a production event.
