Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Chime
In our organization, we use Amazon Chime for conducting online audio and video conferences. Basis on a client recommendation, we started using Amazon Chime in only one department, and other departments use other conferencing apps. With [Amazon] Chime, business communication including client calls, internal meetings has become easy, more secure, and cost effective. It gives you an option to do IM, personalize a meeting link, instantly start a meeting or scheduling a meeting at a later time within your organization and outside the organization users via desktop app, web app, and mobile app. Amazon voice focus (noise suppression) features, screen sharing, Background blur, audio, and video quality works fine and up to expectation.

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.
