What do you like best about Whereby?

I like the fact you can use appear.in as a 'virtual office' were you can sit with your team members no matter where they are located. Our team use this office daily and its helped us stay connected and most importantly create efficiencies by enabling those coffee machine conversations online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whereby?

Sometimes the connection can slow your computer down, especially if you use two rooms simultaneously (if you want to join different groups). If you don't have the appear.in window at full size on your screen, the little help button at the bottom is in the way when you starting typing in the chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Whereby:

hurry up and give it a go! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Real time answers to questions from team members located in different countries. Collaboration on projects which wouldn't have happened otherwise and most importantly, staying connected to your team especially if you work on your own or remotely from home. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whereby?

that it works in a browser with no requirement to down load software. It has a very easy entry (just send out the link and join) and has the basic functions needed - screen sharing, video and audio with a simple chat window. So many other apps are bloated with features that most people never need or use which makes them difficult to start up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whereby?

Settings in the main PRO account for multiple rooms can be a bit confusing

Sometimes it can be easy to get a ghost session up on a single computer.

There is no screen share on the mobile application (ie. cant share a presentation on the ipad with others) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Whereby:

If you are looking for a simple, fast, inexpensive and easy to use video conferencing and screensharing appear.in is a great service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

video conferencing for clients and for team. Travel benefits. Much richer interactions on video and more secure sharing screens not files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whereby?

appear.in is great because clients don't have to download any special software, they just need to click the branded link that I send them and we are ready to connect - this is especially important as some of my clients are not tech savvy.

It is also great to be able to screenshare and connect with more than one person at a time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whereby?

There is very little to dislike as I find it more reliable than Skype or other services but like any video chat platform if your internet connection is not great then that can affect call quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Whereby:

If you need to do video meetings or consultations with one or more people this is a great option Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am happy to pay for the paid version, I probably only need the free version but it is a great product. I love having my own Planet Naturopath "room' and to be able to customize it with my own branding which makes everything look professional Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whereby?

Easy of use, web-based on desktops (so no downloads), no need for complicated links to connect, just type the URL and that's it. Once again, the best part is that your clients do not need to go through a complicated download and installation process, so it is very straight forward with little/no need of system/computer knowledge to make it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whereby?

Recording capability is a little clunky, doesn't feel like straight forward. It is easy of use but it is not well thought in terms of user experience or logic sequence with the need of starting over and over everytime you switch the screen shared. The only time I requested support, it took a while to get an answer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Whereby:

Is the easiest videoconferencing tool out there. Recommended for companies who need to connect with different clients/customers without making them pass through difficult/complicated processes of download or installation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Easy connection with clients, really easy... (compared to the other options out there) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whereby?

We started using Appear.in early on: it is browser based and very fast! Performance is probably the biggest reason we use it, performance == convenience to us. To join a conference one needs to simply click a link, which opens as a browser tab and you can immediately see your teammates, share your screen and talk - no need to install any additional software.

Oh and it also works on mobile! I had no issues doing a video conference with 3 of my teammates, over flaky 4g network. Very impressive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whereby?

The need to switch the room type when number of participants exceeds 4. I would think this would be automatic. I'm sure there is a technical reason to it, but still.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Whereby:

Give it a try - you will likely stay. It is that great! Appear.in doesn't require administration or training. Your users will thank you for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

When working with the remote team a good video conferencing solution is a must. Appear.in happens to be one of the best. We do have Zoom, which works great, but it is not as fast. People just naturally prefer Appear.in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whereby?

The ease of use. Jumping into a video chat is as easy as handing someone a URL. We treat our Appear.in "rooms" as common rooms for all our remote workers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whereby?

The initial setup pains of "Can you hear me now?". This is much less to do with Appear.in and much more to do with end users computer or phone configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our entire dev team is remote. Appear.in allows us to quickly and easily chat with each other as if we're in the same room. In fact if you saw our Slack channel you'd think we all worked in the same office and met up several times a day in the "appear.in room". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whereby?

Easy room creation, I've used both free and paid option and whenever I can avoid other video conferencing tools I recommend clients to use this. Best share screen option (share a tab, window, whole screen). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whereby?

free option seems to be really limited now (we started using appearin years ago and have transferred since to paid version but some of the people I have recommended this say their rooms have been deleted). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

a lot of people prefer old school webex but mac users on chrome have issues with always installing the plugin, while with appearin most of the stuff is intuitive and pre-set so they do not need to adjust or instal anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whereby?

I love that I only need to send a client or meeting recipient a link to meet with me. No application install is required. Makes it so quick and easy to meet with anyone, on any device anywhere in the World. For a small business where most of us work from home in a variety of cities it has become an indispensible tool to enable us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whereby?

There is nothing don't like about my experience so far Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Whereby:

I highly recommend Appear.in and have in fact recommended it to all of my clients who see us using it and see the value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Meetings with clients hroughout the world can be set up quickly and easily.

We can brainstorm remotely as a team without having to have a meeting room booked to do so. Saves money on venues.

We are able to assist clients via screensharing and coach them remotely from anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Whereby?

appear.in is simply to use - it just runs in a standard Web browser (assuming that standard Web browser is Chrome or Firefox). No software to download or install, it just works. It's also free for basic use, so if you need to invite anyone to talk to you it's as simple as sending them a URL to click on. That's all there is to it.

What do you dislike about Whereby?

Business pricing has recently been hiked up to what I consider too high a price for many small companies. Apart from that, it's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

For business use it's amazing - my company use it every day to keep our various offices in touch with each other and in touch with third-party partners. The Share Screen function, and especially the Share Chrome Tab function is invaluable here. Our support department use it to help troubleshoot customer issues.
