Communique Conferencing vs. BeLIVE

The platform is well suited for delivering a unique and elevated experience for guests. Also, events with 200+ attendees. I would not recommend using Communique for simple and very small events. There are dozens of cheap options for these.

Using be.live for video on YouTube, LinkedIn and Facebook both my page and group. Embeding a live video on my webiste. Having guests join my live video and also share information by using my computer screen.

Usability is critical with virtual events both for our team to set up and administer as well as for our attendees. Communique Conferencing is easy for our team to administer. We survey our attendees during and after virtual events. The feedback regarding usability is very positive.

The Communique project team is

• Knowledgeable
• Responsive
• Willing to go above and beyond to make our events successful

We found out the hard way that there's a lot of smoke and mirrors in the virtual event space. We had no idea the level of proper vetting we should have done before hosting a client event with our reputation on the line.

• Support: The PM was located in our time zone and way more responsive.
• Platform: It's hard to assess platforms on one 60-minute demo. When it came down to hosting a virtual event there were a lot of limitations with the other platforms (e.g., no ability for booth reps to proactively chat with visitors, no ability to search for other attendees, no ability to send broadcast messages to communicate to attendees during live days, etc.). Communique Conferencing had all of these and was easy for attendees to use.
• Data security: We are a financial firm, so data security is huge. We did not realize the lack of basic attendee data security with some of the other platforms until our IT team performed and assessment. Communique Conferencing was one of the only platforms that passed.

• Higher attendance - Extend the geographic reach of our events
• Wow factor - Position our firm as leading edge
• Thought leadership - The webinar component helps deliver engaging presentations
• Analytics - Everything is tracked for amazing metrics

• Increased engagement with my audience
• Saves time for creating live videos on various platforms.
