Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Highfive to run my team meetings. We follow an Agile approach to production and have a team of 10 people across three time zones. [We have] daily stand-up meetings, with and at least one other hour-long team meeting each day.

Most of my organization uses highfive in similar manners.

Pros and Cons

Face to face conversations mean so much more than a traditional conference call.
Camera quality is great, wide angle shows an entire room.
Easily integrates with people outside the organization. In just a few clicks, they can join in and collaborate.
Works great with a laptop and a good headset.

It constantly asks for feedback after every call. I think because I use it so much, it gets annoying. It's just an extra click that I don't want to have to do.
It would be nice to be able to toggle through the participants when there are more than 3 people on a call.
It would be nice to be able to change the size of the the video of the physical room you are in. Or move that to another window?

Return on Investment

Quick issue clarificaiton
Team building
Active participants, great collaboration

Alternatives Considered

Google Hangouts

HighFive just worked out of the box. Hangouts was problematic, with dropped calls and weird sound effects. The integrated cameras with HighFive are reliable and provide a quality conferencing option.

Other Software Used

PeopleSoft Financials

Likelihood to Recommend

It works well in a collaborate office. Company meetings can be broadcast to satellite offices. Even large meetings in one location, we sometimes broadcast to other conference rooms so people can be spread out. Not ideal in the car on the mobile app. It can be a little distracting when driving.

Highfive--collaboration has never been easier.
