Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a fully remote team. We use Whereby for daily stand-ups and one-on-one meetings across the organization. As a distributed team, Whereby lets us have ad hoc and scheduled face-to-face meetings and working sessions with employees who are spread across two continents and three countries.

Pros and Cons

Drag-and-drop windows help keep track of who has given their update in stand-ups
Ability to collaborate on Google Docs and Spreadsheets within one video conferencing window

Arrangement of user windows doesn't always make the best use of the available screen area.
More integrations for live collaboration in shared-screen mode.

Return on Investment

Ability to collaborate efficiently as a remote team
Ability to recruit talent globally with confidence

Likelihood to Recommend

Whereby is great for small teams of a dozen or fewer employees, especially remote teams. In a larger corporate environment, it's probably less useful. However, even for enterprise users, it might be very helpful for departments where employees are spread out over multiple locations or that utilize a lot of freelancers or remote workers.

Great video conferencing and live collaboration tool for small remote teams.
