What do you like best about Highfive?

We love our Highfives! We have them in multiple conference rooms and office in our HQ and at several of our remote locations. It is very easy to setup as an admin and even easier for the team to use. This is how we screen share and video conference. No more wires in the conference room! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

I know the Highfive team is working to improve the performance of the screen sharing. Improve the performance and you'll get 11 stars! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

This isn't just a webconferencing software for desktops, laptops, and mobile devices, but also a dedicated hardware platform. Both its (mac) application and hardware control are seamless, and highly functional. The video and audio are more stable than most of the competitors that I've tried, and I've tried quite a few.

I use Highfive on a daily basis, and support is always responsive to any help I've needed. On top of that, Highfive solicits feedback after every session. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Minimal (one) keyboard shortcuts, audio and video can become desynchronized, hardware audio seems to be half duplex rather than full. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keeping remote teams close. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

It took a bit getting used to, but it's pretty simple, whether you're doing a screenshare, face-to-face remote meeting, or you want to do both. With great internet, it's really clear and stable.

You can host a bunch of different people via highfive, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

With poor to mediocre internet speed it's really choppy. I look forward to improvements here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Bringing together remote teammates and our multiple offices. My team tells me that this really helps them feel "together" which, as a manager, I LOVE to hera. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

Product works great for general meetings of geographically dispersed people as well as screen sharing within meetings. Mobile clients work well across platforms and Mac client feels especially polished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

We use the hardware on mounted TVs and can get some odd feedback situations with people connecting from home or other offices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The business problem we are solving is two-fold: supporting bi-coastal offices and allowing easy screen sharing within meetings. The benefits have been improved connectivity during meetings and easier sharing of information in-meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

The company i work for uses the High Five App with all of their Conference rooms, if i am unable to get to the meeting i can sit in by video Conference, it is very easy to use, just sign in and pick out which conference room is set up with the meeting that you are supposed to be in and your all set!

Also traveling you can talk to your family and see each other face to face instead of hearing a voice!

I feel that it is a lot easier to use than Skype and also a lot quicker.

All in all very good Program!!!! A++++++ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Being a newer program i understand that there are some little quirks that still have to get worked out.

i personally cant really think of anything that i don't really like other than the Rate Us App Store Deal Always popping up when starting or finishing a video conference, that drives me nuts but again i am so used to it with all other apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

GIVE IT A TRY!

A LOT BETTER THAN SKYPE WEATHER IT IS FOR COMPANY OR PERSONAL USE! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being able to utilize my time to the max potential regardless if i am sitting in the office watching the meeting or if i turn on the Microphone and get involved with the meeting, it makes it nice that i can turn the microphone on and off as need if i am still trying to work while listening to the meeting.

What do you like best about Highfive?

I like that we are able to see all of the room and no longer have to plug in our laptops with an HDMI chord. I love the customer service team. Everyone is so helpful and clear when giving directions! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

We cannot see all participants at the same time (I know this is changing soon!) The speakers can sound muffled sometimes. Not sure if this is our system or the Highfive device. There is no way to create a calendar invite using Microsoft outlook. I was told this was being changed as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We specifically got this device to have professional meetings with board members and employees that work remotely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup was dead simple. Plug and play. UI is simple and intuitive, perfect for not so techie folks. Also, the camera and mic are very good, works very well in a medium to large conference room.

What do you like best about Highfive?

Device industrial design, look beautiful. The mic is good and performs well.

Concept easy to understand.

Face-to-face Customer service is so nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Two-way talking definitely needs to be improved. When someone talk on one side, he/she will have difficulties hearing other talking in the other side. Either is on/off or sound too loud/low.

720P!!!! Need to go to 1080P.

Upload bandwidth requires, at least, 1.5Mbps. Maybe
