Demio vs. Intermedia AnyMeeting Pro

The Demio works well as a webinar platform. It pretends to be both, a webinar and a meeting platform. It doesn't work very well as a meeting platform. Also, some of the options that are critical, like recording available on-demand, are not available to lower participant number plans. You have to have large audience plans to be able to use them.

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.

• Creating an automated webinar series option
• Ability to combine live and automated webinars within a series

• 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.

Overall it is a good webinar platform. Others may have more options but they are way more expensive.

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.

I love the chat support team at Demio. They're timely. They're thorough. They're polite. They even send funny gifs and emojis. For more serious or complicated questions/issues, I have been invited into a personal Demio webinar with a technical specialist who walked me through exactly how to achieve what I was looking to do and explained everything clearly. Demio's support team is fantastic.

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.

Zoom is a powerful tool for video communications. With the explosion of video meetings since March of 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic, webinars that take place on Zoom have an almost Pavlovian response as many folks have a subconscious response or feeling towards the Zoom interface, as they feel like they're in a meeting rather than at a webinar or digital event. Demio is also a true webinar solution, rather than a video communication platform that has been 'converted' into a webinar solution. Demio has features and capabilities that other platforms lack, and the interface is a fresh experience with no preconceived notions.

We selected AnyMeeting due to its ease of use for presenters and also the ability to share presentations without screen-sharing

• Demio made it much easier to pivot to digital events when in-person events weren't possible due to COVID-19. There was a huge positive impact of being able to remain in front of our customers despite that reality.
• 30,000+ people have registered for the approximately 30 webinars that we have run since April of 2020.
• Thousands of new customers have completed our free onboarding webinar series since implementing it in the summer of 2020, leading to higher customer retention, lower churn rates, and expedited time-to-value for our customers.

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