What do you like best about Highfive?

No having to use Skype or Hangouts anymore! Only a handful of dropped calls since we switched to Highfive, and those were largely due to network issues on my end. The quality of the video sets the bar much higher for the rest of the web conferencing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Nothing in particular. Sometimes the peripherals do not pick up on sound as well as could be expected for a paid service, but is still setting a high bar of quality in an area of tech that lacks it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

Start at the source - no video conferencing tools will work well without a solid office network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I work a few states away from my company headquarters so communication itself is a challenge. Using Highfive in conjunction with Slack gives me the opportunity to have a level of constant communication that rivals in-office convenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

I like the clean simple layout, it is a very streamlined video conference solution. If you know your unique meeting name, then you will be instantly brought into the meeting without any real menu system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

The screen sharing features seem to still be getting ironed out, had a couple stutters and drops during my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It fills a need that has been filled many times previously. Rabb.it is another service that is perfecting this tech. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

The sound quality is great, when we have our daily scrum meetings we can usually have conversations without stepping over each other because of delay or not being able to hear others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

The video can be lacking at times. Although to compensate HighFive seems to gray scale the video which does help a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have several people who work remotely and we have two offices in two different states. So having a product like HighFive helps communication and teamwork be realized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is very simple to use, very intuitive, for the basic functions which is all I want to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Some of our conference rooms are not equipped with Highfive yet! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If they can continue to keep it simple then great - if they add functions without giving the user the opportunity to hide them or turn them off then... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is very quick to spontaneously share slides and have meetings. Less convoluted than other solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

The ease of use both from internal network access, but also from folks in multiple remote locations. Work with teams in three internal locations, but also with consultants and folks working from home on varying intervals. Big win.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

It would be nice to be able to present audio on a Highfive equipped monitor/screen. Local recordings (such as from a pre-recorded video) can be presented via Highfive, but the audio comes from the source laptop, and not the TV screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

Just try it. Having a high def wide angle camera in the room lets all of the teams participate. Regular applications sometimes leave the far corners of a conference room out of the discussion. Great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Collaboration, and how quickly teams can form up and instantly be together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

Highfive is easy to use and provides good quality video and audio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

I can't say that I dislike anything. However, we initially had difficulty with sound due to being in an old building with a loud A/C unit. Highfive provided a tabletop audio addition that makes it much better. Also, I would like the ability to zoom in, because one of the conference rooms used in another city within our company is a large room, which makes it difficult to see the faces of the folks in the meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Face-to-face discussions are always better than traditional conference calls. This makes communication better across the board. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

The user interface. Clean and clear experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

This might not be related to Highfive, but I notice a lot of connectivity issues. The mic's quality doesn't seem optimal either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Highfive makes it quick and simple to engage with colleagues in other offices. If this were a clunky user un-friendly experience, it would not emulate an in-person conversation. The seamlessness of this experience makes a company feel more connected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Clayton Pritchard of Highfive

Hi Hana, we'd love to dig into any connectivity issues you're experiencing to see what might be causing them. If you experience the issue again, please reach out to our support team by emailing help@highfive.com or by clicking "Get Help" in the Highfive app. In terms of the mic quality, our team would be happy to learn more about the issues you're having there as well, so please let us know if you experience anything in the future. Also as a heads up, it looks like Oscar has a few rooms set up with our Professional bundle which includes the Highfive device and the Dolby audio device. If you haven't already, I'd strongly suggest you take a meeting from one of the rooms set up with the Dolby device. I think you'll be blown away by the audio quality from Highfive with Dolby Voice experience.

What do you like best about Highfive?

The video is clear and the audio tracks well with it. It's very easy to launch and share my screen to any of the televisions in the conference room, and the proximity detection works very well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

I don't want to leave feedback after every call. How many times do I have to say no to leaving feedback before you'll stop asking? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

Definitely try it out. If you're looking for a better solution to video conferencing, this is it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

General office teleconferencing. A large proportion of our employees regularly work from home, so having a properly functioning video conferencing solution is paramount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

Simplicity of connectivity and use when operating Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

audio hub &/or display device configuration not always recognized as needed (~30% of the time). Requires restart (~60 sec). Native resolution issues for some Mac Books. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have 3 different locations as well as vendors needing to regularly collaborate. Ease of use across platforms as well as a flat learning curve are very beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

Highfive has a great user interface. I figured it out the very first time I used it in about three seconds. I have used it for external client meetings that they also have had very little trouble figuring out the software. It performs well during the meeting. Another thing I like is how easy it is to setup a conference, all you do is type in the name of the conference and it has started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

It is almost too easy to setup a room. I setup a standup meeting with our scrum team once and forgot to type the difference between "standup" and "stand-up." Half of our team went one place and half of the team wen the other place. It is mostly user error in that instance, and the solution is easy (the application allows you to copy a link to the meeting with the push of a button), but it is something that I missed when I was using the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

Nothing really, it is a great product. Use it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have multiple team members who work remotely and we have customers all over the nation. This software allows our teams to easily collaborate with each other and also allows us to easily "meet" face to face with our customers, some of whom are not very technical. Even the non-technical customers figure the software out very easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
