Periscope is solving performance visability. With Periscope, not can you only monitor productivity but also holistic team metrics! It also helps with our CRM platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Periscope?

I am not sure how I found Periscope, but I loved the app after discovering it. I love the fact that you can watch thousands of people online streaming from a certain location in the world. I have made friends off periscope. It is very easy to use and fun.

I have streamed a few times and it is very easy to get viewers while streaming.

Interacting with your viewers is quite easy as well and you can use this as a way of growing your social media profiles or your brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Periscope?

I with there was a way to use your gopro to stream. For example: periscope app could ask if you want to use an external camera on android phones to broadcast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Periscope:

Great app to do video streaming to the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Very easy to share your live stream with the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Periscope?

What I love about Periscope is that it is an easy way to share what I am doing at the current moment. If there is a conference or speaker that I want others to hear I can stream. I can stream myself teaching or sharing too. It's an easy way to put myself out there as a salesman and to let others find what I have to offer. It also helps me find others I can learn from or want to connect with. Very helpful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Periscope?

I don't like how explicit it can be. You have to be careful what you search or come across as some content can be highly inappropriate. I believe the app is for 17+ so it makes sense why this content is allowed but oh well. I also don't like how few users there are, it isn't the most popular social media platform out there but it does have its uses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Periscope:

I recommend using it but not emphasizing it. It's uses are limited, at least for what I am doing but I thought I'd try it. It's been fun but hasn't been the most productive outreach method in any way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Periscope is helping me solve unique sales approaches that I've never used before. I stream myself or things I am doing and it allows me to share more broadly and openly what MWi is or what my role is and how we can help other companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Periscope?

I like how easy it is to navigate both to view and to go live. It is very very VERY user friendly. It provides us with such a create connection to the world around us, allowing us to grow and learn from a NUMBER of people. I think this platform could be very useful for life long learners like myself who want easy access to knowledge, especially from the peace of their own home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Periscope?

I dislike the loading time. I think this is just because of the mass amount of information available, but I have a hard time loading the software both on my home network and work network. Perhaps this is due to the interface when you first log in? I'm not sure - but this is a small (but inconvenient) issue I have had with Periscope. Luckily, it hasn't deterred me from the product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Periscope:

Take some time to really get to learn the software, it is truly amazing. I know celebrities, big businesses, individuals, AND up and coming businesses all utilize the platform and think it could truly make a difference in the future! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are staying linked in to the world around us! It is so cool to see what other businesses are doing and how they are utilizing a live software like this! We are constantly learning and growing and seeking ways to improve based on live feeds we have seen featured on Periscope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Periscope?

It is great to do live videos on Twitter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Periscope?

Some of the things that I dislike is that there is static when watching a live or video recorded. Another thing is that the video thumbs are extremely small. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Periscope:

I think something that should improve is the video quality and the static noise that sometimes comes on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is a great way to reach out to people who are outside of Houston. When we have events, other people can see and get inspired to host a similar event. I really enjoy watching other programs on periscope to get ideas of marketing and events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Periscope?

It is an easy set-up. The picture is clear and loads quickly. The channels have wide-ranging interests and varied content. They seem to match the description almost 100% of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Periscope?

Unfortunalely, it just doesn't have the reach of Facebook so its usually not the first option that people think of when they are live-streaming. It is a better product but just doesn't have the sheer numbers of subscribers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Periscope:

Use the channels. They are great, Also, it's a step up from Facebook once you get the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Quickly and effectively setting up a live stream on-the-go; It is easy to point people to exactly where to go. I think the picture quality and frame rate are superior to other streaming services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Periscope?

Periscope is an extremely useful tool, as it allows you to go live on Twitter and stream for your audience. It is a great way to instantly get access to your followers and engage with them. A useful tool is that it allows you to save your perisope so that people can view it later if they missed out when you were live. I like that you are able to connect w/ the audience through the live comments coming in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Periscope?

I wish that there was capability for more than one user to live stream to periscope at once. If you could combine periscopes it would be great for doing live interviews. There is also no way to pause the stream while you are live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Periscope:

Give it a try and play around before going live on your primary platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Periscope introduces a new component where followers are seeing/accessing you live. It is very engaging and works as a great promotional tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Periscope?

I like that Periscope was able to connect me with my students and others on campus for "reaching them where they are". I had a student use it to promote a recurring seminar he is starting for students on campus on leadership and the response was great for him. Periscope was easy to use and easy to sign up to Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Periscope?

I did not like that during his video I had some difficulty with seeing other viewers comments. When I initially began the live video I was able to see it but after I got off and back on it was not longer available to me. It was my first time using it so I'm sure I would have been more knowledgeable on to correct the issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Connecting with my students is easier and more fun for them to be engaged. I realize it allows me to meet them where they are at. I don't have to force a relationship with them, They are more interactive and more willing to view because it is a software they use in their personal lives.

The interface was a little confusing at first but not a real detriment. Would have preferred the ability to attach a camera other than the phone camera Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Periscope?

I like that it is very interactive. People are able to comment and like the live streams and people are able to interact with the viewers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Periscope?

I do not like that it is just another additional app. For example everyone has YouTube and youtube does streaming. Downloading periscope means getting another app just for one function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Periscope:

Just know it is an extra program to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Periscope helped my company for a short period, but later we realized it is just another program to add to our list of programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
