What do you like best about Highfive?

We can schedule meetings and add the Highfive link to the meeting invite. We like the features like we can share the screen, see the video of each other, share the document, chat during the meeting, and many more features of this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Sometimes Highfive gets disconnected after 40 minutes of the meeting, and we have to restart the session, which is inefficient. It is nice to have continuous meetings. This may have been fixed already, and I am not aware of it yet, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Highfive is very useful for video conferencing, audio conferencing and web conferencing. I also liked it as a collaboration tool while everyone is being remote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

I love that it offers the possibility of having the videoconferences recorded and stored in the cloud, so it does not occupy expansion on the PC, achieving a more efficient and practical administration, it is a very effective tool to conduct videoconferences in a fast and dynamic way, with high definition and excellent audio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

It has a group limit, that is, when more than 90 people connect, it becomes extremely slow, it tends to pause or stick the audio or video, sometimes it has lost, it has lost the video conference if there are many participants, that is something that greatly affects its use and effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is a basic and effective video conferencing tool, what makes it different is its way of storing the recordings since it is done in the cloud, thus making it more useful and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

Highfive provide the online audio and video conference meetings, chatting and proper conference meetings scheduling with all of our coworkers. It allow us to create multiple collaboration groups to share the projects ideas. By sharing files and documents on video conference is the good way to organize our work. It's pretty easy to deploy and store & share any kind of file document in the video conference teams. We can easily set up the video conference channels for all of our different communication tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

With Highfive software, when I'm connecting myself with multiple people in a group conference calls then at any time it became absurdly slow and shows errors while joining the conferences through links. Hence, messages are also not quickly send over and our video became completely blur. So, it is not quite useful in real-time collaboration and communication with team members based on huge participants and even for groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Highfive is my best cloud-based video conference software for group communication, which helps our teams in chatting for group discussion on important projects tasks. The audio and video collaboration is excellent. I can communicate frequently across the conferences with my teams. For me, it is unified communication platform for proper workplace chatting and for online audio and video meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

Highfive's ease of use and intuitive interface deserve special mention. Some videoconferencing tools end up getting lost in the midst of so many features, but Highfive doesn't do that, it's simple and tasks like sending invitations, muting participants, broadcasting options etc are well labeled and easily accessible, thus facilitating the work of moderators and video call participants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Unfortunately Highfive does not work very well with weaker or unstable internet connections which sometimes results in lags, especially when the user uses mobile internet provided by some telephone company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

If you or your company value ease-of-use then Highfive is a great option, even people without much knowledge of video conferencing tools have quickly adapted to Highfive thanks mainly to its intuitiveness and clarity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Highfive was implemented in our company with the goal of being our videoconferencing solution and it accomplished that very well. As a network that has branches and offices spread across different cities and regions we needed a good videoconferencing tool for various situations like meetings between Team leaders, lectures, campaign campaigns and training of employees from a distance, after some research Highfive was chosen, mainly for its ease of use and intuitiveness.

What do you like best about Highfive?

Highfive is wonderful for your colleagues in other spaces when you need to have a meeting with them. If both teams can not be physically together in the same place, they can even use HighFive and establish communication. It has a very friendly interface for videoconferencing, recording and linking members worldwide for cooperation. It provides a great quality of audio and video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Sometimes, the voice in the calls sounds repetitive when I use it for mobile communication. This is very frustrating and I would like it to be solved, as I think every HighFive platform in my company has these problems. Also, it does not have Linux version. I frequently use it only on MacOS to take HighFive contacts and I consider it to be very annoying because I am obligated to reboot MacOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

Highfive is excellent to host internal gatherings or invite an external party from a distant location to your team. It is suitable for electronic communications of general businesses. In contrast to standard cameras or any other devices, the only disadvantage is that proprietary equipment has to be used in a dedicated meeting room. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For conferences in remote offices and staff, we use Highfive all across our business. Our division is split into one office on each side and Highfive makes us always feel connected. This is beneficial for most departments in my company, especially IT, Marketing, Sales, Finances and HR departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

Highfive is well marked and easy to understand, without having to read or engage in extensive training courses online. You also have the option to record the meeting if you want to. The Highfive quality in audio and video is quite good, although minimum hardware needed to run it. Also, there is a Chrome HighFive plugin available, which allows me to use the app from the browser, and it's just great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Due to the location of our company, the internet connection isn't that strong and Highfive does not offer options for slow connections. However, we understand this problem is more related to us than to Highfive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

HighFive is a very good option for online conferences. It is ideal for multi-office businesses and workers in the sector. However, it is not the greatest option to hold long webinars with a lot of people involved. It's not suitable for you if you have customers that don't feel comfortable doing online calls, I know it's just a minority but some of our most classic clients prefer to maintain communication via email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Highfive have been installed within our company to enable internal and external video conferences. It is used across the whole company for easy communication with our groups. It is very useful for interviews, for a collaborative group meetings or for a deck gathering of all the stakeholders. Highfive has allowed the team to remain close to one another, even though some of our offices are physically far away.  Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

Highfive is excellent to communicate with distant peers and provide the opportunity to share views and displays. The reliability of audio and video is great, as long as you have a good internet connection. It has an intuitive and versatile design, that is visually appealing and has strong display indications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

We have seldom had problems with connectivity, as Highfive consumes a lot of broadband. Occasionally, Highfive can delay or slow down if the Web is sluggish for you or one of the participants. I would like it to be more convenient when I needed to make a telephone call. When it comes to pricing, monthly prices are high and plans change regularly, from the visitor point of view. In order to make it more accesible for most companies, these prices need to decrease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

Highfive is an excellent tool to use internally or externally for communication with other businesses. It can represent an outstanding communication tool if most of your consumers accept to use it regularly. I sincerely consider it's far superior to other video conferencing platforms, such as Skype and Zoom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For each session in which nobody is placed in the same space as each other, we use Highfive. It was mostly used for internal conferences in our meeting rooms, as Highfive supplied specialized hardware and a codec-and audio-integrated system in the type of equipment. It has encouraged us to meet jointly between our two headquarters in our various meeting rooms easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
