Highfive Reviews & Product Details - Page 9

Highfive is easy to setup and easy to use. It also support multiple platforms and is intelligent enough to support participants using varying connection speeds. The room cameras can be easily managed from a phone or laptop and the desktop sharing is great. I also like that this technology just works! Great support when you do have questions.

The only area I would like to see improved is the authorization of device. Because they do not use password authentication each device used requires you to authenticate via an email link upon first use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Highfive is very simple. I like that it looks easy to use, and that it is simple to connect. All you need is the URL unique to your company. From there, you can connect to various monitors, and add slugs to URLs to differentiate between calls. The quality of the video is also usually very good, but that is largely dependent on internet quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest issue with Highfive is the lag. Often I find that the screen I a sharing is at least 1 slide behind or several minutes behind. Sometimes it can disconnect altogether. This isn't such a concern if you're just doing a presentation, but for live sharing or videos, expect some lag to throw you off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup and hardware(TV video conference equipment) were very easy to login and setup. The mobile versions are great and allow guests to login with ease. This makes interviewing candidates and inviting external vendors to video conferencing very easily, even if they don't have a computer right at that moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The primary concern really is bandwidth consumption and bandwidth detection. Sometimes it will start out smoothly, but if one participant begins to lose available bandwidth, the video quality suffers immediately. The audio tends to continue to stream without issue, but the video can cut out. There is also no setting that allows you to lower the video quality manually to help improve performance.

Connection consistency is an issues pretty much all the time, no matter what device I'm on. Mobile, desktop, laptop, super-strong wifi or bad 3G connection - doesn't matter. Also expensive proprietary hardware is SILLY. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Highfive for our organization is that it allows us to communicate between our two offices and display our screen during meetings. Unlike certain programs, there's hardly any lag from actions on the computer and the display on the screen, and it's very easy to use. There aren't codes that need to be entered in or anything like that; you just share your screen to the room you want and voila, it's done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The audio functionality is lacking as of right now. Perhaps it's simply an issue of not being configured correctly in our office, but when sharing a screen to the TV, there's no way to have the audio play on the TV as well in our experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quality of call video and audio. Ability to participate through cell phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

App has to be upgraded every time I attempt to use Highfive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We got the dolby set-up and have a sister set-up in another state, and it makes meetings great. When someone is on the road, they patch in just like everyone else, and can even call in if data is an issue.

Creating the meetings is one of the best features! I type a name, launch it, and tell others to type the same name. Non-employees can join as well with a simple invite. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one difficulty is if I have thrown my meeting onto a nearby TV and closed my phone app, I have to pull the app back up, and take over the screen with a different meeting name and exit to exit the meeting. If I keep my phone on the whole time then it is no problem. There might be a better way that I am just not familiar with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
