HighFive Review

PROS: Highfive is simple and easy to use software. We can easily connect with other members. All we have to do is to send the URL to those who want to participate on the meeting. We are able to connect lot of monitors, to add slugs to the URLs so we can differentiate between calls. The quality of the video is great but it depends on the internet connection.

CONS: The biggest problem I have with Highfive is the lag. The screen that I share is at least 1 slide behind or even few minutes behind. It can even disconnect altogether. This can be really frustrating when live sharing or videos.

PROS: The whole TV video conference equipment was easy to login and set it up. The mobile versions is great and it allowed our users to login without any problems. We can easily interview candidates and invite external vendors to the video conference.

CONS: I’m concern of its signal, because sometimes we would start out smoothly but when one participant starts to lose the signal the video quality suffers. The audio continues great but we have problem with the video. There are no options to low the video quality manually so we can improve the performance.

PROS: I like Highfive’s integration with my calendar and I love how it shows me when a date of some meetings is near. We can easily share links. The quality of the video call is great. It allows me to customize my account profile within the app. I am able to share my screen and camera with other participants.

CONS: I like this application, therefore I don’t have dislikes, and I believe they work on its improvement.

PROS: Highfive works great, the voice quality is great and clear. It is easy to use and you can send URL link for joining the conference. The set up in each room is within minutes. Users are allowed to use their device in order to join and perform on the meeting. Video conferencing, wireless TV projection and remote screen sharing is all in and from one place. It doesn’t requites PIN codes nor attendees IDs and passwords.

CONS: I cannot move the “picture-in-picture” window and to switch the presentation view to other large camera view. It lacks recording functionality. There are no pin codes and meeting IDs and passwords and this means that someone can eavesdrop the whole meeting.

PROS: I have to say that HighFive is better than Skype, especially when it comes to group conference and screensharing. We don’t have any problems with video cameras, and we can easily run our Windows 10 along with this software. It allows us to see up to 3 participants at once and other on the call. We can easily screen share and it doesn’t slow down. We can easily invite others, they can join the conference by downloading the software or by following the URL. The good thing is that the camera captures the entire office.

CONS: We had minor microphone issues and its tech support team has resolved the issue. When I’m in a role of presenter and when screen sharing I cannot see other participants but participants can see both the screen and other video feed. This is quite important because I would like to see how the things are being received.

PROS: First of all, this software is extremely flexible, easy to use and collaborative. Before implementing this software we were limited to utilizing an out-of-date platform that didn’t provide some important features. This tool is easy to set up and it can be used by everyone, it doesn’t requires some tech skills. I can’t wait to see what’s next for new features and integrations.

CONS: It has lot of maintenance updates and upgrades. The Slack integrations doesn’t work as it should. They could implement some recording features as well.

PROS: Highfive allows anyone to spin of meeting in an easiest way. We don’t have to waste time when the license holder for other video conference software isn’t available. We don’t have to pay seat fees for the people who doesn’t need to host a meeting too often. We are more careful with login credentials especially because this software uses our Google account in order to authenticate the users.

CONS: Sometimes the software restarts itself and we don’t know when this software will restart. We have lost 5min during the meeting because the device goes via update cycle.

PROS: I love its simplicity and easy to use. We can easily start calls and using the app on our mobile device or computer. We don’t even have to use the device because we are allowed to mix and match the way we want. We are able to have calls without using the actual unit. This is great because everyone within the company gets free account.

CONS: It would be great if they could implement yearly subscription per unit, for example, $1200 yearly and we can set up an account for everyone, without some monthly costs.

PROS: HighFive is extremely easy to use, the installation is easy and it takes less than 10 minutes. You can operate it from Windows and Mac. Also, I love the screen sharing options, I am able to share what’s on my screen with my group. It’s very helpful because we can arrange meetings even with the team that are geographically far away.

CONS: This app needs much power in order to run smoothly, but many of our users have Core i5-powered MacBook Air and if the users has other app running in the background along with Highfive that they have to reboot their device or close the apps.

PROS: HighFive is an easy to use and intuitive tool, with great interface and it allows access from everywhere. It has great quality scaling set. Audio is great across the platforms. Video scaling is great in low to middle-res apps. Remote site sessions are smooth, and with great audio especially if you use headset. You can select colors and interface.

CONS: The proprietary camera for boardroom is large than other web cameras. But the camera has smarts for the local operations and once it is installed you can easily coast it. When I try to connect to a 4K system the video scaling doesn’t have good quality.

PROS: HighFive is easy to install and easy to setup the meeting. All our users are happy with this tool, especially because they don’t have to set up the process in order to start with the meeting. It is affordable and does the job.

CONS: It can be little difficult for some users to switch back and forth with those who are presenting and sharing. When you click on a meeting it take a little bit to start, and the user may be little anxious and they start clicking the link once again. They could rename “Video Call” with “Create a Video Meeting” because our users are confused when they want to create a video call, the share screen to Tv options can be also quite confusing.

PROS: This software is easy to use and easy to set up. It supports various platforms and it supports participants by using various connection speeds. We can easily manage the room cameras from our phone, laptop or desktop. The sharing of information is easy and great. It has great support team that are always there to help you and answer all your questions regarding the software.

CONS: It would be great if they could improve the authorization of the device. There is no passwords authentication and the joining is via email link.
