Absolutely exceeds the needs of this freelance writer

I use this for client meetings, and I use it to collaborate with other consultants on big projects. It's always streamlined the process of being able to reliably communicate on a high quality and "in-house" platform. It's allowed me to maintain a much more professional image when working online.

PROS

The best thing about Samba Live is its customizability. Giving me a video streaming platform that I can make my own-- and brand as my own-- is key to landing clients

CONS

There's not a ton of information online about Digital Samba outside of their website.

Reason for choosing Digital Samba

The ability to white-label the product, its GDPR compliance, and the feature set.

Reasons for switching to Digital Samba

Samba Live covers the functionality of every one of these reliably, without having to ask a client to install anything.

Feature-rich and easy to use

PROS

Samba Live is the perfect alternative to any video conferencing software which needs downloads to work properly. It allows you to start meetings right from the browser, which makes it easy for participants to join your webinar or online meeting. You don't have to think anymore of if participants will be able to install the video conferencing software or configuring it the right way. They just click on a link and can join the meeting. I also enjoy the rich set of features for interactive webinars/meetings like the whiteboards, Q&A and screen sharing (all works directly from the browser). It's also super easy to plan everything in advance.

CONS

The UX of the dashboard (backend) could be as great as the meeting platform itself. At the moment, it looks a bit old-fashioned although everything works seamlessly.

Reasons for switching to Digital Samba

There are several factors: - Better, more transparent pricing - Easy access via the browser - No downloads necessary - Security

Vendor Response

Thank you for the great review!

Easy to use with all the features I need

PROS

I like how easy to use the Samba Live platform is. The UI is simple and intuitive. Anyone could learn how to use it in minutes. I also love how easy it is to set up and join meetings. If I have a meeting with a potential client, I can organise it and send out invites in minutes. You get access to all the features you would ever need within a video meeting. The features I use the most are screen-sharing, file-sharing, video recording, and the shared whiteboard. Being browser-based means clients don't have to download any new software to join my meetings. Samba Live allows me to maintain a professional image in my online meetings easily. The pricing policy is fair. You pay just a little bit more than the cheaper platforms, but in my opinion, you get a much better product. I always recommend Samba Live to friends and colleagues. Many clients are so impressed by the platform that they ask me for a download link!

CONS

There are no major cons to this platform. I have emailed them in the past about minor issues, and they always responded quickly and answered my questions.

Reasons for switching to Digital Samba

Samba Live makes it easier to maintain a professional image. It also has lots more features.

Hooked on Samba

I have been using Samba for years - from meetings to virtual classrooms. It never failed me. And if it did, it was the internet connection fault.

PROS

I love using Samba because it's super easy to use - to create meetings, invite people and most of all, I love that it is browser based - no need to install anything.

CONS

Nothing really. It fulfils all my needs and requirements.

Reasons for switching to Digital Samba

Because I like to use European company software.
