CONSI wish we could have more functionalities that will help to bring the team togheter.
Reason for choosing Remo

A Game changer for networking online
Networking for large groups of people is a major problem that is being solved. Zoom simply does not provide a solution for this problem. - breakout sessions are awkward and require an admin to be present all the time to move people between rooms. Remo enables us to organise an event "hands off" as people can firstly see where everyone is in the different tables and they can move independently between these rooms. It's a fantastic innovation. Most, if not all of our events involve 50+ people getting together and connecting informally. Remo heklpy us to continue to provide this kind of value in an online format. I don't think we could have offered the same value to our attendees if we used multiple zoom chats or breakout sessions.
PROSRemo provides a fantastic platform for making networking easy online. The ability to have multiple tables in one view, with the ability to see who is chatting with who is a complete gamechanger for networking online. As an admin organizing large networking events there is simply no other tool that provides this kind of value.
CONSBarrier free entry would be the best new feature for new people joining a remo event for the first time. There are often issues with people accidently selecting "join as speaker" when they are only an attendee. This blocks them from entering and causes a lot of confusion. I would also like to see an easiersystem for entering the timing of the event (during the pre-event setup). The current method of using the clock is not easy to use and after entering the starting time it almost always give me an error that my finishing time is before the starting time. This happens when I clone an event and change the time and date of the start first.
Reason for choosing Remo
The overall interface was a bit confusing and not as intutitve as Remo. Also in remo you could easily see the entire space on your sceen so everyone was visible. The other solution was free but we expected the price to be introduced soon so instead we wanted to pay for a known good product and price instead of using Airmeet for free for a while then having to pay an unknown fee.
Reasons for switching to Remo
Zoom simply does not have this functionality and our interim solution for networking online was to create multiple rooms. This requires sharing an excel sheet with a list of who is in what room and then switching to a different zoom link. Flow and consistency is lost and people become disjointed. With remo people can easily seize an opportunity to pop over to another table and connect with someone important to them.

Great concept, needs tech/security improvement
Great for networking and getting people to talk to each other. Bought the premium subscription to potentially use for a training program, but cancelled after one month due to tech issues with audio and insufficient security for our purposes. Have since been using Zoom breakout rooms and meetings.
PROSExcellent graphic interface, concept of tables makes participants feel more connected, good for networking events. Good communication from company about updates and new features, basic user guides are shared for distribution. Company seems honest, will prorate the cost of a subscription if you cancel early. Like that the license is only attributed to the administrator - otherwise, many people can use the service without a designated license, as long as it doesn't exceed the limit set by your plan.
CONSCommon unresolvable tech problems for some users - could only hear one other person, or couldn't be heard, for example. Limits group to 6 - sometimes wanted bigger option. Never figured out advance set-up for events or the concept of event managers - a colleague who reached out to tech support did not receive a clear answer. Security is not as high as it should be to meet our organizational needs.

Remo allows for autonomy in virtual events
I've really enjoyed working with the Remo team and they have been very helpful in troubleshooting bugs. As a newer platform, they are working to correct issues as quickly as they can. But it still has a bit of lag compared to more established video platforms. But even with that, I love Remo and it's one of my favorite tools!
PROSThe main reason I use Remo for most of my virtual facilitation is because it allows participants to have autonomy moving around a virtual room and join the small group conversations that matter to them. Most people are 'stuck' in breakout rooms with zoom and other platforms - but Remo allows you flip that dynamic for your participants! I also LOVE being able to upload custom floorplans - many of my clients love that we can match their brand with the event.
CONSAs a new platform for lots of users, there's a learning curve to figure out how to manage the event. Once someone has had familiarity in the platform, I find they love it and want to host a second event - but sometimes that first experience can involve a lot of 'learning the ropes' rather than focused on the specific intent of your event. It can also be challenging not being able to see everyone's video in the main presentation area. I often find myself wanting to have conversations with more people than are allowed in the small groups, but there's no option for that so I sometimes have to refer back to zoom with my group.
Reason for choosing Remo
Ultimately I choose Remo because it allowed me to upload custom floorplans and let everyone have choice over which small groups they wanted to join. Those two variables make Remo stand out compared to all of the others!

Best software for recreating coffee break/reception interactions
Events are a huge part of our business, so when COVID-19 ended our ability to host them in person, we quickly had to pivot to virtual events. Remo recreated the in-person experience better than any other platform we reviewed and are really happy with it thus far.
PROSWe loved the ease of use, the simple yet engaging layout, and the fact that it recreates the natural interactions of conference participants in the most natural way. We also like that the either/or function of presentation and conversation mode. It helps overcome the issues we have with in person events where sessions will not be well attended but the break room is full. The ability to track interaction with sponsors ads is also a great plus.
CONSThere are some features that are missing: ability to assign seats, customization of automated emails, better Zapier app to integrate with Salesforce, custom fields on registration, ability to spotlight one screen/speaker in presentation mode.
Reason for choosing Remo
Ease of use, cost, and implementation requirements.

Why I Jumped In with Both Feet
It has been great. I invested in the Studio Licence so I could launch a virtual event venue on the platform. I immediately saw the potential for supporting the events industry with a virtual space that would be managed by an event professional with my experience and understanding of how best to maximize the platform for a successful event experience.
PROSI was looking to help a client transition an event from live to virtual. This platform felt the closest to live and checked the most boxes on our needs list. The ability to network at the tables and the ability to customize the look and feel of the virtual space were big for me.
CONSThe inability to use RTMP link for streaming onto the stage and the on-boarding/registration page.
Reason for choosing Remo
REMO checked the most important boxes for my client and once we built and experienced the event we were sold. The look, feel and adaptability of REMO just spoke to me and seemed to be a platform I could embrace and build a business around.

Remo Conference Review
It has been pretty good overall, in that for our needs (switching or moving away from hosting large scale, in-person events for obvious reasons) the form of the platform itself has worked well generally, i.e. a serviceable virtual event platform.
PROSProbably the way that the event platform itself can be modified or "tailored" to meet the needs of the hosts, especially regarding specific and different looks of events (per event). That is what the best takeaway for me is.
CONSThe functionality or UX of the software seems rigid or limited in scope, and that more attention perhaps goes into the interface than anything else, seemingly.
Reason for choosing Remo
Primarily, for the fact that the platform interface itself can be customized based on look and design, and can essentially fit the form of whatever is wanted (i.e. digital model of actual, physical location, etc.)
Reasons for switching to Remo
More options for interface/platform design or "look"

Great experience!
Gives the facilitator and participants a fun experience and with much more natural flow than other platforms. The biggest challenge is getting past the set-up issues for participants.
PROSRemo creates the freedom for participant in an event to move around and network as they please. Its relatively well tolerated by IT departments who may ban Zoom and it creates a far superior experience than the usual video conferencing platforms.
CONSParticipant take on is the biggest barrier - getting folks in the room with microphone and camera working is a challenge. The Deskle whiteboard is not as sophisticated and user friendly as Miro or Mural. My advice would be to reach out to an affiliate like myself and get help for your first few sessions. Pricing has also increased quite a bit recently.
Reason for choosing Remo
No need for end user equipment and easy to navigate

Teams is a terrible large group platform and Zoom does not allow for freedom and creativity in collaboration

Great product - Recommend for multiple uses!
The customer service team is top-notch. I know they are invested in making sure we have a successful event. We have a few events under our belt through Remo, and more and more people are asking about the platform!
PROSRemo is the closest thing to an in-person event that we have experienced, while being remote. It effectively allows our team to cultivate and steward event attendees in a fun and meaningful way. We like that users are able to move themselves from table to table, as you would at a typical convention or cocktail reception. The functionality of the white board, presentation and announcements makes it easy to host an event.
CONSThe Remo team has been working on additional room layouts and I am excited to use those. For a new software, there is very little that I would change and I know the team is always taking our ideas into consideration.
Reasons for switching to Remo

Long on Remo
Super long on the platform because of call quality -- feel like their UI/UX team needs to directly connect more end users of software. Needs more features like icebreaker has.
PROSRemo provides the best audio and video quality of any platform we've used -- better than Zoom. The ability to switch rooms is also relatively seamless.
CONS* screen share sometimes locks up * no waiting room capability to let someone next meeting is waiting * switching between buildings and some other things don't feel seamless
Reason for choosing Remo
The call quality is consistently awesome.

Excellent software!
Thanks Remo, you saved our annual hackathon. Usually we would hold this event in the office but due to COVID restrictions, we were unable to do that this year. Remo helped to better connect us all and allowed us to successfully run the two-day event remotely.
PROS- The customisable layouts. - Extensive whiteboard/screen sharing functions. - Presentation/broadcast function with chat/Q&A window, YouTube etc. - Easy to use and set up.
CONS- The lack of polling/voting systems. - The fact that Remo automatically puts you on a random table when you enter the event/a new floor. - The fact that chat messages disappear and don't save for very long. - The audio didn't always work very well when using headphones

Remo is an indispensable partner for our "Online Job Fairs".
Our "Online Job Fairs" focus on dialogue between companies and participants. The great thing about "Remo" is that it allows participants to interact with each other online while understanding each other's location. This is not possible with "Zoom" or "Google Meet". The commitment to our Online Job Fairs cannot be achieved without Remo.
PROSParticipants should be able to interact with each other individually with an understanding of each other's positions.
CONS*Participants have no control over where they jump in. *Can't use the participation URLs around. *Can't delete the participant history on the chat screen. *Can't place an owner at each table.

Fantastic Solution for Modern Problems
The ease of use is so important when setting up new media. Having people feel comfortable in a brand new space during difficult times is the only way to move forward. And the online environment is great to look at and fun to use!
CONSI had to get a new computer and faster internet access in order to facilitate. That gets to be difficult for the casual user or a first time user who isn’t as tech dependent or savvy.
