MediaPlatform vs. Whereby

MediaPlatform is not a tool to be used as a one-to-one client tool. Its best suited for corporate events or large events such as webinars, conventions, trade shows, or similar events. They have different products which are suited to the client's need and type of event. Based on your needs and their analysis they will advise you to choose the best solution offered by them

Whereby is well suited for making connections with clients and people who are not technologically savvy. It is very easy to use for the most part. It does not work very well when I am trying to screenshare and show demonstrations of excel spreadsheets, but not a lot of products do

• They consult with the client when developing and offering their service to understand the needs and objectives of the clients, the network demand, etc .
• Other communication tools integration with their platform
• In built analytics or the traffic and viewer actions

Incentivized

• Easy to use: The app is very, very easy to use. Literally just create a chat room (input a name) and access it to chat.
• Call/video quality: I've experienced better call quality on appear.in than in almost all other chat and video conferencing services out there.

Incentivized

• At this time I do not see any additional needs

Incentivized

• The paid version may have dial-in. But I have always used the free version. Dial-in is typically required for an "official" multi-purpose teleconference platform.
• I did have some trouble with larger groups (5+) when it was Appear.in but almost always use it for small 1-on-1 or 3 person meetings.

We are using a larger tool suite that already includes video conferencing instead of our older approach of using different apps from different vendors. appear.in has a simple but great set of features but its pricing scheme is not as scalable as we really need in a 500+ employee company.

Incentivized

Very easy to use, technical and non-technical colleagues have used it with no instructions needed. That says all about the app and services.

Never had to contact support, so we cannot give a rating for their overall support. When we noticed the audio was not always great quality, we simply educated our users to mute the mic and use the in-room conference phone which is connected via a dedicated VOIP link and had much better voice quality. The video performance varied by locations network speed and found it got much worse when the room size increased to over 4 connections.

Incentivized

After a recommendation from a partner, as the system is very easy to use, we simply start.

MediaPlatform is in a league by itself and is in no way comparable with any of the current media collaboration or presentation platforms with the product they offer and their quality of service. i would say they are far above the rest

I did not evaluate other applications against Whereby, because we had a very specific need, which was the partner that we would use the solution, only accepted to use Whereby, so, we accepted to use the solution. As it was for a specific period, there was no problem. And in the end, it proved to be a very stable, very fast solution, with no need for crazy plugins or anything. Basically, it was access[ed] and use.

Incentivized

• They makes presentation and integration easier
• They take the stress out of event and media presentation online or across the network

Incentivized

• In general, any sort of online collaborations saves a lot on your budget. The meetings are rather more on time and can be efficient and short.
• Easy to drop-by and have a small talk with clients/teammates within COVID era.
• The URL makes you look fancy instead of a random hash.
