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.

I don’t like both of these tools. In both of these softwares, it was quite hard to generate a link for video meetings even in Zoom that was more tricky. Plus the price of both of these tools was much high than that of Hoot and that was another demerit. So, all these things …
Chose West Collaboration (discontinued)
I was not satisfied with the quality of video Zoom used to provide us. Furthermore, my team didn’t find the Zoom link easy to join and above all creating link for the meeting was very hard and tricky in Zoom which is easy in Hoot and Hoot works well even with a large number of …

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.

It is a very amazing tool for everyone who wants to experience the essence of real-time meetings in a virtual meeting. It has the capacity to withhold a large number of participants without creating any kind of trouble. Its integration and quality of video and audio are far beyond perfection. But [I feel] its customer service is quite pathetic.

  • Its integration with [Microsoft] Outlook is very helpful for us.
  • It provides the best quality of video and audio.

  • Its mobile application works quite smoothly.

Cons
  • 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.

  • It requires a profoundly strong internet connection or else it stops working.
  • It is buggy.
  • There should be an update on it.

Usability
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
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.
