Schedule razor-sharp meets with ActiveMeetings
Rating: 7 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We tried ActiveMeetings as an alternative to Zoom as the pandemic hit to figure out what use cases can it solve for us. We were fairly impressed with the agenda-driven meetings it was possible to host via ActiveMeetings. It also has other useful features like in-app messaging, offline document access, and seamless multi-platform support for both desktop and mobile.
Pros
- Setting agenda for the meets
- Getting real-time inputs from meeting participants
- Seamless collaboration during meets
Cons
- The UI interface could be much cleaner
- The cost of the software is high considering the value many free softwares provide
- Not everyone has ActiveMeetings so cross-organization collaboration has some friction
Likelihood to Recommend
ActiveMeetings works well when you want to conduct pre-scheduled meets with a clear agenda and want to get inputs from stakeholders to close things quickly. It's not really so useful for general chit-chat or catchups with teammates as the extra features aren't useful in the scenario. It also has some friction when doing cross-org collaboration.
