What do you like best about Highfive?

The best thing about Highfive is the sound quality that comes with using the product's hardware. Their speaker has exceptional sound compared to any conference phone I've ever used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

My only complaint is there is no way to get a dedicated phone dial-in for recurring meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

This product is an amazing tool for teams spread out across multiple office locations. Also, imagine never having to enter a dreaded dial-in and conference pin # again! Simply come up with an easy to remember meeting name and invite people to join via a dedicated URL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With offices in three different locations and many remote team members, having everyone equipped with Highfive software and hardware has turned out to be a huge way to increase efficiency in scheduling, hosting and joining meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

The sound quality is the best feature of HighFive. The hardware that they provided us makes it so much easier for us to hear and be heard by our remote employees. Prior to using HighFive, our old conference phones made it difficult for everyone in the room to be heard. With HighFive, we no longer have that issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

Calls are frequently dropped during long meetings. We haven't been able to figure out exactly why this is happening, but there are times when it happens so frequently that we temporarily abandon using HighFive and switch to some other backup product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

Once they resolve the frequent crashing, I will have no complaints about this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

HighFive has made it much easier to communicate with remote employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have a headquarters in a differebt city, so highfive allows us to have meetibgs together and share updates while in different locations in the state. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

I like the ease of connecting with high five and the URL & phone number methods to join a room. The sounds quality is great on each end even if it's a room full of people connecting with someone in their car. I also enjoy how when multiple people are connected and looking at a shared screen, the software will automatically switch video feeds of whichever person is speaking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

We rely heavily on high five at my company with remote workers and many meetings. This make communication through the device critical and it always seems to crash when we're in the middle of a discussion and the point has been lost. We have been working with technical support on this, but the issue has yet to be resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are solving the issues of working on scrum teams with remote employees. The benefit of leaving a certain developer on a tv all day long is great when it comes to collaboration and team bonding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Highfive?

It just works! I like the ease of the minimal hardware in the conference room. Also the Dolby voice quality is very clear. Easy to use with a simple URL to join. Set up every room in minutes, not hours. Users use their personal devices and the cloud does the rest. Video conferencing, wireless TV projection, and remote screen sharing all in one solution! Eliminates PIN codes, meeting IDs and passwords. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Highfive?

I dislike that you cannot move the PIP (picture-in-picture) window nor toggle the presentation view to a larger camera view to see the far side audience better. Lack of any recording functionality. Also no 'Brady bunch' grid view of multiple video sessions. Eliminate PIN codes, meeting IDs and passwords (need to secure meeting access) if prior URL knowledge, someone can eavesdrop. Pricing per user isn't always the better option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Highfive:

Doesn't hurt to evaluate and compare with other video conferencing tools out there. It just works!

“Instead of having to create a meeting, dial in and fumble with cords, anybody who wants to can join a call right away in a few clicks… it’s just a better way of doing meetings.” Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Easy collaboration for teams to share presentations; training, etc...

Cost savings is a main benefit; especially for remote users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Clayton Pritchard of Highfive

Glad to hear you're a Highfive fan, Manes! Thanks for sharing what you love about Highfive as well as what you'd like to see us improve. The good news is that recording meetings and the "Brady Bunch" grid are both high up on the list of features our product team wants to add.

Also, I'm not sure if it was a mistake, but I saw you mentioned "Pricing per user isn't always the better option" in the section on what you dislike about Highfive. However, we actually do not price per user. Instead we price per room that you set up with Highfive hardware and allow for unlimited users and meetings. If I'm misunderstanding your feedback, please feel free to reach out to me at clayton@highfive.com.
