Overall Satisfaction with Whereby
It is being used in different departments on its own. The good thing about Whereby is the straightforward URL reservation, so you can have YOURCOMPANY-DEPARTMENT name reserved and everyone knows where to join when needed to have a talk with that certain department or person.
Pros
- Nice browser based UI
- URL reservation
- Easy to get started for non-techies
Cons
- Rather more room for free users. Four people is limiting considering the competition.
- Better marketing. People know Zoom but not Whereby.
- Have native client apps.
- In general, any sort of online collaborations saves a lot on your budget. The meetings are rather more on time and can be efficient and short.
- Easy to drop-by and have a small talk with clients/teammates within COVID era.
- The URL makes you look fancy instead of a random hash.
For me it was Zoom, Google Meet vs. Whereby. For me, the main idea was to make it easier for the clients (non-technical people) to join and starting to have a talk. For Zoom, it was too much, even for myself, and Google Meet always needs a calendar integration, but with Whereby you can just share the URL whenever and people would remember your URL which is nice.
