Highfive Reviews & Product Details - Page 15

I like that it integrates with your calendar and you can create a video conference for any event. When you open the APP it already has options available for what events on your calendar that you may want to start a call for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Myself and my coworkers do not like the sound quality on highfive, it is oftentimes very difficult to hear the person on the other end of the video call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reliable connection and clear image/sound Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Needing a bunch of chrome extensions for the app and then Google Calendar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very stable environment, very clear audio. Works well with most mobile devices. Anybody can use it with minimum training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No windows phone application and must have a later version ipad to work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest thing is the simplicity of using it. Physical installation is easy and takes less than 10 minutes (5 if basic things like available power and network outlets are close to the installation point). The software is also easy to install and operate for both Windows and Mac users.

The other feature that is well liked is the screen sharing ability. Being able to share what is on your laptop screen with a local and remote group of personnel is a huge plus. It comes in very handy when we have meetings with the team at our East Coast facility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest gripe I hear is how much computing power the Highfive app needs in order to run properly. The majority of our users are equipped with the bare bones Core i5-powered MacBook Air and if said user is running multiple applications and HighFive at the same time, the laptop slows to a crawl until they either close applications or reboot their laptop.

I really enjoy the ease of signing on to a meeting for employees. The feature to throw ones screen onto a TV also makes meetings more productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a chat box as well as more global call in numbers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best feature of Highfive is the ease with which you can start a meeting. Being able to have an impromptu teleconference with no more effort than pressing the button on my mobile device and walking into the conference room has dramatically shortened the distance between our satellite offices. Screen sharing is rapid and smooth as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only wish is for stronger Slack integration and audio from sources other than the microphone to make it a better remote and local presentation tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's incredibly easy to set up a new conference, even easier than with Hangouts. The call quality is great and the device's microphones do an amazing job at picking up low voices at the back of a room. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The list of participants in a conference needs a little work. On some platforms, it auto-hides which makes it difficult to see at a glance who's available to be addressed. We also use the Highfive for a daily standup meeting where we take turns speaking, so it's important to know who else is in the conference so you know you speak after. The list isn't always in a dependable order across devices either, which compounds that small annoyance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think my favorite aspect of High Five is the simple, intuitive interface. After having spent the last eight years using quite a few different platforms, only High Five that's been able consistently deliver a high-quality video and audio experience.

We routinely use High Five in our interview process with individuals not accustomed to the platform. Without fail, they're able to utilize the platform without issue. I think that's a testament to it's simplicity of design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only element that I would like to see improved upon is the shifting video. The platform is designed to show the individual's face who is talking. The idea is that in a three-way conversation, the video would show who is speaking, thus giving the illusion of being in a in-face conversation. What happens when you get in a larger group format (with several folks dialed in) is that the video tends to pick up on any little sound and show your visage. Clear your throat? Yup...the video just picked you up and showed your face...even if you weren't talking. It's a big awkward in those larger meetings. Muting your microphone doesn't always keep it from doing this.

It's super easy and quick to share your screen and pretty easy to set up a video conference and share w/your remote users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have the app on my iPhone and iPad... I was hoping I could share that screen directly to a TV in the conference room like I would be able to do w/Apple TV, but it only lets me do video conferencing from those devices. I have a work-around for it, but it's an extra step I was hoping to avoid.

There's also a slight lag w/the mouse or scrolling when sharing your screen which is a little annoying, but not the end of the world. It works really well for sharing presentations where the screen doesn't move as quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the ease of use. The fact that everything works with the click of one button helps a ton. Generally-speaking, the product is easy to understand and doesn't require much training. That said, we had a team from HighFive come train some of the folks who were a bit behind. All-in-all the platform is solid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've had some issues with connectivity and some issues with feedback. Since the cameras are set up on the televisions and the microphones are attached to the cameras, it seems like it's just asking for feedback. If we could separate the microphone and put it on, say, a conference table, it seems like it would eliminate a lot of the feedback. We underwent calibration on both sides to help alleviate the feedback too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
