Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Chime

We use it to connect basically to AWS Team and AWS Partners. It's solving a communication preference of use Amazon Chime as [a] primary communication option with these companies, but it's not exactly a business problem, it's just the fastest option. It's being used by some departments, like IT and others.
  • Audio/video settings
  • Mute other people
  • Schedule management
  • Constantly being updated
  • Need to be opened to start/complete the update process
  • It opens the main window over others, to update
  • Communicate with AWS Team
  • Audio/video options
  • Easy to use
  • It's not cheap
  • Very simple UI (great!)
  • Quick setup
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.

Yes

Yes

Would you buy Amazon Chime again?

Yes

If you live in AWS World, Amazon Chime is a great option. It's complete, and the audio/video settings are great. Even manage your schedule directly from the tool. But, its update process, is weird and [bothers] me every time that it begins, cause it opens the update window over other windows, without asking.
