Agora SDKs are always my go-to because the documentation makes them easier to integrate and customise in my Unity applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Agora?

They launch updates fast, of course, to make functionalities better, but at the same time as developers, we might have an overhead to update the SDK at the same pace to avoid furthur issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Agora solving and how is that benefiting you?

In my Unity applications, I had to add audio, video and real-time messaging features. Thankfully I was able to find SDKs for everything from Agora, and to my surprise, agora also had spatial audio, which made my user experience much better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Agora?

- The service quality is higher compared to alternatives due to Agora using its own prioritized networking.

- Includes additional features like cloud recording and live streaming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Agora?

- Documentation is difficult to grasp quickly. Often you need to re-read several times to understand the full context. Some related info is spread across different pages.

- Actual code sometimes works a bit differently than the documentation suggests. Need to do a lot of black-box testing to cover edge cases.

- The SDKs are very low level. Need to do a lot of manual plumbing or copy-pasting to get a basic example working.

- Poor Slack support from the Agora team, usually takes days to respond.

- Higher-resolution streams get much more expensive.

- To add chat or any sort of message passing you need to combine two separate products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Agora?

The video and audio quality are great, and they have a lot of features already implemented. There's no need to go looking for another video platform since they have everything you need in the same place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Agora?

Firewall restrictions are super hard to deal with and we had to stop using Agora.io completely because of that. We could never make it work for everyone in the same session at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Agora:

If you don't have Firewall restrictions for the Enterprise, it might work well for you.

PS: their pricing structure is the worst I've ever seen everywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Agora?

The thing that we liked the most was its performance and pricing model, for the value it brings. especially if you want to try it out it at a small scale first without spending more, it gives 10000 minutes free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Agora?

Well, things that have more importance like performance, and pricing are good.

But other stuff like developer experience, and documentation could have, and the management dashboard that they provide could have been better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have built a video interview tool using Agora
