    Hopin is very suitable for large events involving 100+ people where there are only a couple of people speaking. You can have a bunch of features such as networking and all in all, is quite a professional experience to use. For smaller groups, It takes too much effort to set up and isn't worth using over Google Meet or Zoom.

    It is one of the best platforms for attending webinars related to the distribution of knowledge related to different technologies and software and live events related to software releases and other product-related releases. The video streaming and software quality of the platform itself can be massively improved, in my opinion.

    Cons
    RingCentral
    • The biggest hangup we've encountered is from guest speakers who need to join us on either tablets or smartphones. Hopin doesn't play well with mobile devices for onscreen guests.
    • I'd like to see the broadcasts in vendor booths be recordable in the way broadcasts in the sessions or on the stage are.

    • The webinars could be shorter and to the point.
    • The platform has some bugs and streaming issues.
    • The video quality sometimes drops in between the webinar.

    We most likely will, but with such a high annual renewal rate, we are forced to look at alternative solutions yearly when that license fee comes due

    Usability
    RingCentral
    I'm a pretty tech-savvy person but I still feel that Hopin was pretty user-friendly even for those of you who are less tech-savvy. Great thing is, you can play around and test the platform with the free version which allows you to get familiar with it before committing to the paid. I learned most of it on the free version which then made me more confident when deciding to use the paid version. Not only did it help me on the setup side, but it also proved to me that this was what we needed to do what we needed to do.

    Mostly because of the cost-cutting and being able to access a decent feature set in the cost provided. There are other products in the line that are better performing and have better feature sets, but the price that stream charges and the feature set and usability it provides are decent and worth the price.

    Support Rating
    RingCentral
    For the most part you're able to get a response from a support person within a few minutes, but there was a stretch when Hopin was reshuffling its staff that it sometimes took 24-48 hours, which is too long. However, as long as the staff remains stable - which seems likely - then its Support team is usually quite responsive.

    I have not really contacted the support but have had friends who have and this is one of the other reasons why I switched to streamGo. Initially, I was skeptical regarding the support, but when a few of my ex-colleagues and friends told me that it is awesome, I took the decision to switch to streamGo.

    We were with a company before Hopin - we explored elsewhere due to cost. Pros were design and custom look. We moved to Hopin, it was innovative at the time, although the design wasn't strong the features were. The majority now have the same features. So we did leave Hopin for another platform again because we wanted a custom look, and we were preparing for hybrid. Hopin wasn't ready. We soon realised other platforms we came across are complex, difficult to use. We left and came back to Hopin.

    The reason for switching was major because of the cost-cutting. If I were to compare them to the products mentioned above, I'd say all three of them have their own pros and cons but are mostly superior and better than a stream. If it hadn't been for the cost-cutting I wouldn't have jumped to stream.

    Return on Investment
    RingCentral
    • Without Hopin, it would have been impossible to host an event at the scale and user interface that we did, with the staff limitations we have. Hopin enabled us to execute a very high standard with limited resources. For example, before Hopin, we could only attract about 100-200 attendees. With Hopin, we 3x our registrations and attendees.
    • The data collected from their system on attendees allows us to more accurately speak to our target market based on their tracked habits during the event.

    • The platform is buggy and can be improved.
    • Random quality drops in the middle of the video.
