    Chose Whereby
    I find Zoom more complicated to use and harder to use because a lot of people do not like having to download things to their computers or devices and Whereby is so easy to get connected with . I like that Zoom offers larger rooms, but at this point the cost is not worth the …

    Chose Whereby
    For me it was Zoom, Google Meet vs. Whereby. For me, the main idea was to make it easier for the clients (non-technical people) to join and starting to have a talk. For Zoom, it was too much, even for myself, and Google Meet always needs a calendar integration, but with Whereby …

    Chose Whereby
    I did not evaluate other applications against Whereby, because we had a very specific need, which was the partner that we would use the solution, only accepted to use Whereby, so, we accepted to use the solution. As it was for a specific period, there was no problem. And in the …

    Chose Whereby
    Nicer layout than any other competitor by far, reactions for emojis pop up on your video (have not seen this anywhere else), easier to access (no downloads). Also, useful internally to always use the same URL, so if you have an ad hoc meeting everyone knows where to go. This …

    Chose Whereby
    Whereby offers better features and is easier to use than both Zoom and Google Hangouts.

    Chose Whereby
    We looked at BlueJeans, Zoom, and Google Hangouts. We selected Whereby because you can see multiple people (up to 12) in one screen. We also liked the interface.

    Chose Whereby
    Zoom I find clunky and not user-friendly as it's always asking you to do updates, attend their seminar trainings, and different codes. It's also expensive. GoToMeeting is much the same as Zoom.

    Chose Whereby
    When compared to the other VC platforms, we found Whereby the easiest to use for users and invitees. The only install from a recipient's point-of-view is a Chrome extension. Zoom requires a download and an account to sign into. Microsoft Teams is only for other members on the …

    Chose Whereby
    You're able to create unique links for people to join and use words and phrases in the link for the invite. I think that helps you with branding yourself as a company. On Google Hangouts we're not able to do something like this, which is why I appreciate Whereby and being able …

    Chose Whereby
    Whereby allows you to see everyone instead of just the last few people to talk. It also has no software to download and install. It works on any device that can access a website.

    Chose Whereby
    I don't know that it is an apples-to-apples comparison because in most other cases I used these platforms alongside Whereby. The best direct comparison would be Google Hangouts. With Whereby, I think the video and audio are superior, the UX is superior, and it's just a better …

    Chose Whereby
    Whereby is a great tool for individual meetings or among small groups. It's super simple to use and very convenient. But if you need to have meetings with more than 10 people, a tool like Zoom is probably necessary. You'll have more options to control who can share and who can …

    Chose Whereby
    It is a very simple tool. It can be accessed by all very fast. Sometimes we do more than one videoconference simultaneously and Whereby helps a lot as a second option, especially with few participants.

    Chose Whereby
    appear.in was the least expensive alternative at the time my company used it. It included the right set of features for what we needed.
