    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
    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
    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
    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
    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
    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 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.
