What do you dislike about Highfive?

Limited integration - would like to see Mac Outlook support please. No support for share 2nd+ monitor, and thus no presentation. Toll-free number as opposed to local number will be a good addition. Annual fee. No text chat abilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Communication is no seamless with internal remote teams as well as our partners. Better sharing of screens for meetings and presentations - no more emailing slide decks or pdfs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

It's easy to install, easy to setup meeting and so far has worked pretty darn good. I know my 'dislike' list looks long but it is really just things they can work on or update. So far our users have been happy with this solution, especially since they do not have to go through long, drawn out setup processes to start a meeting. It is pretty inexpensive for a great, no frills solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

I think it can be a little confusing for a normal user on how to switch back and forth with who is presenting and sharing. After you click on a meeting it takes a little bit for it to pop up, which makes my users a little anxious and they start thinking they didn't click the link so they keep clicking but that to me doesn't break our opinion on it. I also think that the 'Video Call' should be called 'Create a Video Meeting' or something along those lines. I constantly get users getting confused when they want to create a video meeting and share their screen. The other option is 'Share screen to TV' which makes it confusing for them. With some TV's you need to buy external speakers and turn off the speakers on the TV because it causes annoying feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our executive committee wanted a video solution so they could hold meetings the other two locations we have. One is oversees. Although this solution does not offer all of the bells and whistles they originally wanted it is perfect for what they are doing with it NOW! In the future, if those bells and whistles come back into play we can review but for now it's perfect for their current needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

The simplicity and ease of use. Starting a call is as simple as using the app on your phone or computer and throwing it to the device if you have one around. Or, you can not even use the device and have calls between phones, computers, and tablets and you can mix and match as you like. The ability to have calls without having to use the actual unit is huge! That, coupled with the fact that everyone on the company domain gets a free account has been a major win. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Going to the yearly subscription per unit. I realize that it makes sense from a business standpoint, but it was much easier to sell when we could say "$1200 and everyone gets an account, no monthly costs." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Many of our clients have users who are spread out geographically. The ability to have them buy a single unit and then have everyone be able to use the service to talk and collaborate has been critical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Clayton Pritchard of Highfive

Glad to hear you felt like the setup was quick and easy. On the app side of things, be on the lookout for an update in the next few months that should make things easier especially for guests, first time users, and/or infrequent users.
