They were the best 15 years ago. Since that time competitors have carried the torch and Vidyo is no longer relevant.

What do you dislike about VidyoConnect?

They doubled down on their business model when Zoom and other cloud vendors were taking their lunch. Instead of competing they raised their prices and pushed their hardware solutions that nobody wanted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VidyoConnect?

I like the home page to have all the favorites of different "rooms" you often connect to. I do like having the self view as an option. The client is very low usage on compute resources so that's a plus for any computer. It can integrate and sync with AD so end users won't have to struggle with remembering another account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidyoConnect?

The units themselves. may be robust, but are nothing more than your average computer. Even the NUC size units are no spectacle. Understanding how Vidyo works with "rooms" takes some getting used to. Your conference room has a "room". You, yourself, has a "room". Knowing that you enter a conference room's "room", you also need to have others join that particular room. Sending Vidyo invites via Outlook, will send your guests to YOUR room, not the conference room. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VidyoConnect:

Understand how it works first before implementing it in the environment. Do test calls. Test the local content sharing on both wired and WiFI. I highly suggest to order an Inogeni Unit to pair with your Vidyo Units. Try to run every possible scenario that an End User would use Vidyo. If you fine tune it, Vidyo will work flawlessly. End Users need to stop comparing Vidyo to Web based software such as GoTo Meeting or Webex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Right now just the usual web conferencing aspects. We use it for recording training sessions at the moment. It helps with presenting.local content. It has some level of moderating meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VidyoConnect?

Sharing documents live and conference room independence. I like setting up conference rooms that users can easily use and keep secure with just a code. I like having the ability as an administrator I could lock rooms and keep out unwanted guest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidyoConnect?

That once you create a room, it’s yours and you can just give it away once you leave your organization/company. At least for the US Army. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VidyoConnect:

Conference room creators should be able to give ownership to someone else if this is not currently being done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having the ability to share any document no matter what format and all are able to see regardless if they have a camera or not. I realized that this would be a great tool to use especially now with the outbreak of COVID-19. It’s easy and simple for user to navigate and learn to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VidyoConnect?

Nothing. It just annoys me. Helps me determine that people are not technical in nature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidyoConnect?

This program is only good for looking at each other. Therefore, it is very bad at sharing screens, files, productive work by technical people. For people in suits with no technical function that want to look at each other, it does that. Do not confuse a video app with a work app. If you want to get work done, if you are smart, if you have a technical need, get something else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VidyoConnect:

If you want to get WORK done, use something else. If you like looking at each other while spending your company's money, this is it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Not being able to see each others faces. This problem is also very well solved by the functional products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about VidyoConnect?

It's very easy to setup a "room" and have people join it, even if they don't have vidyo installed (through a link). The UI of the client it's very easy and straightforward: it doesn't really take much effort to jump in a video conference. Moreover, having 10+ people in a "room" gets easily handled: the video feed of the person who is speaking gets the biggest chunk of the window, while the remaining users are represented as small video thumbnails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about VidyoConnect?

Vidyo avidly eats bandwidth and CPU: if either of them is lacking, the whole conferencing will become a painful experience. Vidyo won't just well behave, on Windows, in low-bandwidth conditions: the client constantly crashes or won't let you join a room. For comparison, on the same low-bandwidth channels, Skype works just fine. Moreover, one vital feature that was there in earlier version is now missing: sharing just one application instead of the whole screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering VidyoConnect:

Make sure Vidyo users have enough bandwidth and a reasonable CPU to handle the video conferencing. If you're using this software to interview people, make sure you have a fallback option in case the other party doesn't have enough bandwidth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Vidyo, as any video conferencing software, bridges people together in an easy way. Skipping the low-bandwidth scenario problems, it's a simple enough tool that let's you just concentrate on the business, without having to care too much on the "how can we have a video conference that is not limited to 4 people?".
