Considered Both Products
Amazon Chime
Chose Amazon Chime
We like the Amazon Chime versus Teams - more features and easy to use. We are able to use instant messages - create rooms and do instant training with screen sharing immediately when needed. All of our users have picked it up quickly and really like it. We quit using teams …
Chose Amazon Chime
Amazon has a very good audio and video quality. Chime's video conferencing feature works as expected there is no lag in the audio. If the internet speed is about 50 mpbs + then it works as a charm! At times the desktop can get slow but the mobile application is pretty fast as …
Chose Amazon Chime
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 …
Chose Amazon Chime
Users have a level of familarity with other market leading collaboration products.

However we selected this for the single dashboard for chat, calling, meeting and messaging specifically on phone app. There is a very simple interface with a minimum of clicks to launch the …
Chose Amazon Chime
It's slower and the user experience is much clunkier. It seems like it was developed by and for other developers, not the normal public.
Chose Amazon Chime
Better than skype for business in terms of loading the application onto your device. Skype had crashing issues always and those are comparatively low when using Amazon Chime. Amazon chime is fast and easy to work with while collaborating and setting up meetings. The audio and …
Chose Amazon Chime
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 …
Chose Amazon Chime
All the mentioned above products are better if not rated much higher with the features they have compared to Amazon Chime. Amazon Chime does not support well with google calendar and other negative features I mentioned compared to other products. Amazon Chime lacks features …
Chose Amazon Chime
We chose Amazon Chime due to better pricing, ease of implementation, and great customer support from their team. Better product overall in terms of reliability.
Chose Amazon Chime
Amazon Chime stacks up cleaner and much more intuitive to Google Hangouts Chat. In comparison to Slack, Amazon Chime is much better because Slack is not conducive to having a face-to-face conversation, much less, screen sharing. Microsoft Teams was hard to use when some of our …
Chose Amazon Chime
Amazon's Chime is lightweight and has easy integrations with Slack. Cloud Trail has good call reports, doesn't take time to load compared to other products that I have tried. Its APIs exposed by Amazon are really helpful to customize. The shift from one user to another for …
Chose Amazon Chime
I believe the two products (Slack and Skype) are better suited for the situations where it is a smaller crowd. This is due to those systems being easier to chat within and collaborate in the smaller environment.
Chose Amazon Chime
Amazon Chime product stacks up pretty much equal to the other pieces of software that we have used in the past. What drives the use of the software over the others is purely preference. My team has adapted to using this software, and now it has become what they would rather …
Chose Amazon Chime
We used to use Go To Meeting/Go To Webinar for our web conferencing and AT&T Teleconferencing numbers, either separately or in conjunction with the Go To Meeting/Go To Webinar. I liked that Go To Webinar allowed people to pre-register, which gave us the opportunity to prepare. …
Chose Amazon Chime
Chime was a lot less expensive that WebEx. It was also easier to use and maintain.
Chose Amazon Chime
I would say Chime is step below Teams, but manages to get the job done. Chime is more straight forward and simplistic and meets all our basic needs for internal chat.
Chose Amazon Chime
They are all good products, but here is why we switched:

1. UberConf. This was the first conference software we used. It used to be great, it actually had a free version that worked perfectly. Then the service started to falter, mostly lag time between user and presenter. And …
Chose Amazon Chime
Amazon Chime WILL become an industry leader. Amazon is still behind WebEx and is gaining ground on Microsoft. The advantage Microsoft will have is the ability to embed in organizations through Office, and have that advantage over WebEx as well. We selected Amazon Chime as …
Chose Amazon Chime
I believe Amazon Chime is better, easier to use, and had better quality video/audio
Chose Amazon Chime
AWS Chime is very comparable to Zoom meeting. Monthly costs are usually cheaper but are variable and can fluctuate. Reporting on AWS Chime is great but needs some additional back-end set-up that could be cumbersome. Overall... ease, quality, look and set-up is very easy. …
Chose Amazon Chime
I have used GoToMeeting, which is a major competitor to Amazon Chime, and I can confidently say that GoToMeeting is literally ten times better. We rarely have any of the issues with GoToMeeting that we do with Amazon Chime. I highly recommend GoToMeeting over Amazon Chime …
Chose Amazon Chime
High quality of audio and video, and great meeting experiences.

Chose Amazon Chime
Amazon Chime is great for call and video quality. It's pretty comparable to Zoom both in cost and capabilities. It's definitely superior to UberConference and Join.Me, both of which are not particularly reliable. I have had call quality and the screen shares freeze up. …
Chose Amazon Chime
Chime and Biba are interchangeable to me, both accomplish the same task. We have transitioned to Chime as it was created by Amazon and we support Amazon, so it was an easy decision for us. I do enjoy Chime more as it just seems to work effortlessly. I would recommend it to all.
Intermedia AnyMeeting Pro
Chose Intermedia AnyMeeting Pro
They are very much alike.
Chose Intermedia AnyMeeting Pro
Pricing and usability is a big reason I chose AnyMeeting for my current needs.
Chose Intermedia AnyMeeting Pro
AnyMeeting's free version beats Zoom's free version because of the time limit Zoom imposes on free meetings. However, when going for a paid version, Zoom outperforms AnyMeeting's paid version. The video quality seems to be higher in Zoom. There is also more features available …
Chose Intermedia AnyMeeting Pro
Easy to use interface. Easy to share the screen, give someone else the ability to share their screen.
Chose Intermedia AnyMeeting Pro
Besides different user interfaces, for the most, all of these and AnyMeeting do the same things. The prices vary, but not by much.
Chose Intermedia AnyMeeting Pro
We selected AnyMeeting due to its ease of use for presenters and also the ability to share presentations without screen-sharing.
Chose Intermedia AnyMeeting Pro
Skype for Business is easier for our internal users since everyone is already configured to use it.
Chose Intermedia AnyMeeting Pro
AnyMeeting focuses on providing the best experience in a webcam + slides environment where you need to show the person who is going through the slide presentation.

Great tool which can be used for collaborating and sharing screens. It helps in integrating with calendar effortlessly and send invitations for the meeting. Sometimes it takes time to load the application on your device and is not compatible with all browsers. It has different options of muting and sharing screen during presenting.

AnyMeeting Pro is an easy-to-use tool and it is very resourceful as it comes with most features you would need for video conferencing and basic interactions. AnyMeeting conferencing eases most video conferencing issues. Most users can perform a video conferencing session at any time for strategy meetings or large groups. One of the features we enjoyed was seeing so many coworker's faces during the pandemic. It kept us connected with everyone.

Cons
  • I'd like to see more sentiment analysis around the conversation between the salesperson and the prospect. This would make great for coaching opportunities after the call to make our sales reps better.
  • In a few instances, members of our sales team had issues with sharing call recording links with their prospects. Our product team came to the conclusion it was coming from the Amazon Chime end.

  • It's great that webinar attendees can choose to attend online or dial in by phone, but it is not helpful at all that Anymeeting announces the number of people dialing in by phone. If there are 25 people attending a webinar online while 1 person calls in on the phone, that person will hear an automatic announcement that currently there are no other attendees online.
  • It is great that the default webinar setting is for it to be recorded, but I wish there was no lag between the act of going live and the recording starting.

Usability
No answers on this topic
I give it a nine due to no fault really of the software. It mostly has to deal with buffering and bandwidth issues that could cause the program to not perform as promised. However, this is an area where most also fail. Our current software is horrible in comparison. Not being a decision-maker keeps us from enjoying AnyMeeting Pro on a more common basis. I would rather use this than Teams.

Support Rating
They were very supportive in answering all of our questions when we had problems. Their in-person calls but their support site also had a full set of information that can answer a good portion of your questions before you have to pick up the phone. But when you, you will get good service.
Read full review
Never had to deal with customer support myself. I was told by our tech team that they were pretty responsive and again most issues could not be resolved due to the bandwidth of those attending meetings. The higher the bandwidth the more amazing the performance and the overall meeting flow and results.

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.

Return on Investment
  • Amazon Chime has been an incredibly cost effective way to add video and conference line services (with screen sharing) to our day to day operations because we have an account for free for being Vonage customers.
  • A pro account only costs $15 a month, and you only need one pro account for a small office. If others in your organization need to join, all you need is a basic account to join. You need a pro account in order to launch and administer meetings.

  • It has made it very easy to hold strategy calls with clients who want a recorded call to reference in the future.
