Gather Reviews & Product Details

I really love this platform for its presentation. Its really fun and efficient to use this platform. Meeting and video calls becomes much easier with this platform. Other than this we can keep track on other teams activity so that any new schedule doesn't hamper the task of others. We can also know even if the team member is present or away from the desk which is awesome. It provides a social feeling through this platform while being in office. I also love the user interface which is really user friendly and the login process was also smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love most part of this platform but sometimes when user fails to update its position, communication can be interrupted. I also wish that the price was fixed as the cost may escalate a lot for offices with large number of employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Gather is how easy it makes virtual collaboration feel. I use it in a business context for team meetings, onboarding sessions, and occasional training events. The customizable spaces create a more interactive environment compared to regular video calls. Moving around the virtual workspace helps keep people engaged, and the platform feels simple enough for anyone to join without technical issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is that performance can drop slightly if too many people join the same space, especially if their hardware isn't great. Also, some customization features require extra time to configure properly. Still, once everything is set up, the overall experience is smooth and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Gather extremely easy to pick up, and it's intuitive, which makes it easy for me to become good at it quite quickly. I also like how easy it is to build the space that I would like. It's good on a larger scale, and works well whether I'm using it with five people or 50. The initial setup of Gather was extremely easy for my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It'd be nice to get bigger spaces. It would be nicer to have spaces that could fit 15 rooms as opposed to 10 for those extra large events. Some of the room building could be made a little bit easier in terms of building walls and stuff like that and making total custom rooms. That could be a bit easier.

I really like Gather because it is useful and fun to use. The virtual 'office' environment it provides helps to avoid the frictions of asynchronous communication and gives a lot of 'life' to communication between remote teams. I especially appreciate being able to move between desks and designated areas for specific purposes, something that doesn't feel the same in other text or voice-only channels. Gather makes these rooms look more like 'physical' spaces, which I find particularly useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that being very similar to a video game, the roles that can 'create' and edit the map expect to have more cool functions to decorate or use interactive objects, etc.; the technical and communicative aspect is well covered for now, but in this factor that differentiates them, they can still add and improve many things.

I like that Gather is gamified instead of just being a serious corporate app. It keeps things casual in the office and helps the team actually feel like they're having fun while working. This gamified approach adds variety to the workplace, keeps the creative juices flowing while dealing with serious tasks, and helps employees feel more in-person and closer to their teammates, which is really valuable when working from home.

I think the chat system is not there yet. I think they're trying to reinvent the wheel. It'll be better if they could, bring external chat apps like Microsoft Teams chat and Outlook Calendar. Connect to Microsoft, for example. And bring Teams in together instead of creating their own version of chat. The same with the AI notes. I think if they allowed external AI notetakers to join the meetings, it'll actually be better than trying to innovate in the same space that is already overcrowded. And it'll be great if you could also hold webinars and not only, like, as small meetings or you could do, like, office hours with an open link and just have people walking into your office weekly.

The gamified 8-bit interface is fantastic. It makes meetings feel more engaging and less tiring overall. I also really enjoy being able to customize our office space with furniture and interactive objects, which adds a fun, personal touch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform can be pretty demanding on older laptops. If I have too many tabs open while using Gather, my computer’s fans start spinning loudly, and I sometimes notice lag in the video feed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the amount of customization Gather offered, not just for the office, but also for the characters. It was fun to be able to import different games and change characters to look more like myself, which added a personal touch. The games provided a fun way to take a break and have some fun. Additionally, I found the interactive aspect of Gather compelling enough that we switched from using Discord. The setup was quite easy, mostly because of the tutorials and resources available online.

I think a minor issue is keeping up with seasonal decorations. Like, if I check now, my Gather still has the same decorations from Halloween last year. It's something that could be good to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Gather for its usability and portability. It's slightly heavy for lighter systems, but it works well for me, especially on a MacBook. I really appreciate the customization options and the ability to pop up and reduce the size of the Gather application. The feature that allows checking on teammates is the best part for me. It's really valuable for collaborating within my team, allowing us to talk and share while sitting in our own rooms, even working remotely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now, Gather is live with availability for more than 100 people, but it would be beneficial for bigger companies if it could support even more users. Our company has around 300 plus users, and we're on Gather version one, which makes it difficult for us to move to version two if there will be increased user capacity.

I really like how Gather naturally recreates the casual, spontaneous collaboration of a physical office. It makes remote work feel much more connected and efficient. I appreciate the spatial layout that helps us stay focused while being available, which is crucial for building complex software. The platform's customizability and professionalism are excellent for our B2B work. We can create team floors, quiet zones, meeting rooms, and private areas for client demos, which keeps our workflow organized without feeling cluttered. The initial setup was straightforward and intuitive, letting us design a layout that matches our real office structure, making everyone feel familiar right away.

One area where Gather struggles a bit is performance during longer sessions with many people online. The interface can feel laggy, and spatial audio occasionally cuts out or distorts, which can disrupt pair‑programming or architecture discussions where clear, stable communication is critical. We’d also like to see deeper integration with our enterprise toolchain—things like Jira, GitHub, and our Slack alerts. Right now, we have to switch between apps to check tickets or pull requests, which breaks our flow. More native widgets or notifications inside Gather would keep us focused longer.

Gather provides an engaging and immersive virtual workspace experience that feels far more human than standard video conferencing tools. With features like spatial audio, customizable office spaces, and avatar-based interactions, collaborating becomes more natural and enjoyable, particularly for remote teams. It also enhances informal communication and strengthens team connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Gather stands out for its innovation, it can be somewhat demanding on older computers. Additionally, newcomers might require a brief adjustment period to become familiar with navigating and interacting within the virtual environment. When a large number of users are connected simultaneously, there may be a slight decrease in performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
