What do you like best about Highfive?

The product works perfectly and consistently. It takes a little bit for the whole team to figure out how it works but once they do its the ideal solution for our team working across different continents. Also, the customer service has been superb in immediately and patiently working with us with the initial setup process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

I wish it was a little easier to invite guests into calls. If so we would almost completely get rid of the need for expensive international conference calls or Skype meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

Try it out! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Working with a team spread out across four countries. We have been able to hold live meetings that almost feel like we're all in the same room. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

Minimal initial config needed (nearly plug-and-play).

Audio and video quality is good (as long as the internet connection is good).

Desktop App is easy to use (with some caveats). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Bandwidth hog - need a lot of bandwidth to avoid choppiness! This has been somewhat of a problem with our Atlanta office, where they have a cable internet connection (85M x 15M, I believe).

There's no option for lower resolution on slower connections.

Moving calls to TV from laptop and vice versa can sometimes be confusing.

No Linux app :(

Somewhat pricey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

Make sure you have the necessary bandwidth to really utilize it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Rather than try to hack Skype to work with cameras mounted above our conference room screens, we have one device we can plug in, mount above the TV, and have awesome video conferencing functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

I like that highfive is evolving to always improve its user experience and is fairly reliable. It is easy to use and interface with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Frequency in requesting feedback feels a bit needy. Sometimes connections are not great and there is a lot of feedback if other parties are not on mute.

When I pull up highfive, I have to constantly decrease the screen size. This is probably an operator error but haven't figured it out yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is great to get face time with leadership that are not within your 4 walls. Very beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

Very friendly sales & support team; entire company focused on UX Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

The quality of calls, audio & video, has been poor. Support has sent us tons of troubleshooting options, but we eventually gave up as the value prop was meant to save time not use more of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

None currently. If it worked well, we'd have more of a 'in the same room' feeling for our meetings when one or two people are out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

The technology is very easy to use, great quality and service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

There is an app that you must download to use the tool, so you have to allow for a few extra minutes for folks to download before you can start a meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

The HighFive device is great, but if you ever need anything from their service team, you are in for a pleasant surprise. I have had nothing but great experiences with their entire team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our CEO is remote and we are a highly collaborative culture, so a reliable video conferencing system with a wide angle camera was critical. we did a lot of research and Highfive was the best option on the market, and it has not disappointed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Clayton Pritchard of Highfive

Hi!

Not sure when you last tried Highfive, but we announced a partnership with Dolby Voice in May that allows us to bring industry leading to all your meetings. Also, we now offer the Dolby device as a part of our "Professional" package which allows for stunningly clear audio, even in your most audio challenging rooms. We'd love to let you hear the difference for yourself! Please reach out to our team at sales@highfive.com for a demo of everything we've launched recently, especially the new audio experience.

Thanks!

What do you like best about Highfive?

I love the simplicity to start a meeting and allow others to join. The quality of the video hardware is good. Easy to setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

We've had a few issues with users downloading the software and having issues installing. It would be great if we could record meetings. Hard wire required. No wi-fi ( I understand for quality reasons). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We need a way to quickly start a meeting in our conference rooms and allow users from around the country to join and participate without the technology getting in the way. The benefits to a remote team are ease of use and ability to communicate easily with each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

I like that it is easy to use, easy to create new "sessions" and that the transition from share screen to share on TV is really fast. The picture quality and sound is good, and the mic picks up my voice well enough where I don't have to yell across the room during a session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Sometimes the connection isn't great, but once I reboot that typically solves the problem. Not sure if that issue is with Highfive or my internet connection though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

Make the learning curve to use even easier. Highfive is doing a great job, but it still took me 30 - 60 minutes to learn how to use it and watch all of the videos. There might be the opportunity to trim this time down which would make adopting this solution even easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Highfive to solve the problem of connecting with team members working remotely and at our satellite offices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

The audio quality is very high. It's a big improvement from including remote colleagues via conference phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

It can be a little tricky to set up if you're doing a complicated configurations such as having a video call with a colleague, while presenting on a screen and maintaining access to speaker notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

Buy a unit and try it out in one conference room. It's very easy to evaluate whether or not it's right for your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We often have team members working remote. Highfive lets them participate in meetings without feeling left out. It also works well for reviewing work and having warmer discussions via the 1-on-1 video chats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

Super slick interface, very easy for me to use and run for our tech company. I love that I can just click a button and share my screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Connection issues every once in a while. I am trying to connect with my team on the other side of the US, and 1/10 I need to restart and try again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I can see my team members that are thousands of miles away face to face. You can't put a price on that. We often do product demos for customers, and we can practice those very easily with Highfive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
