Hopin Avis 

We were not given all of the information around the limitations of the Hopin platform. Here are some:
1.) limited guests can be on screen at one time
2.) the main stage is awkward for speaker and admin
3.) there are no breakout rooms available
4.) Screen share is clunky and unintuitive

While we had high hopes for Hopin, we decided after a couple of events that it did not meet our needs. We received great tech and event support from our Hopin rep, but the sales team is awful. Hopin used pushy and deceptive sales practices to lock us into an expensive contract while providing us with a dishonest timeline about when new features would be rolled out. The platform does include many behind the scenes customization options, and could be well-suited to certain large events, but also lacks basic functionality (breakout rooms, >20 people on camera) that can be found even in the free version of Zoom.

Love the ease of the site!

Terrible experience, entire event collapsed within first hour. No acceptance of responsibility from Hopin and refusal to refund even their own subscription cost for hosting an event that wouldn't work. Forced to fall back on an alternative platform (MSTeams Live) - certainly won't use hopin ever again and recommend no-one else does!

I've just participated in presenting at a conference on Hopin and I found it frustrating as did several other speakers I talked to. Issues:
1) Sharing a YouTube video in the practice demo sessions worked, but it didn't work live so I had to scramble to share the video via Chrome browser, which showed up choppy to the audience.
2) I've successfully chatted with a few participants one-on-one, but when chatting with one participant, the message sent, but never displayed after 2 attempts.
3) The platform is not intuitive and I (as a speaker) have had to coach a few other speakers through sharing their content
4) Several presenters at the conference today had issues where their audio would not work properly.

This is not a platform I want to use again as a presenter.

It's amazing how Hopin really gave me a close experience of being in an actual conference. Meeting people there was nice!

I wonder though if there was a way to lengthen the talk, even for just maybe 15-30secs. Many times got cut out at the last few seconds. Haha

My review is the same as the one below. Never again. Wasted loads of my time. caused me stress and frustration and now I need to do a video interview for an event which I could not access as a speaker. I tried three diffferent devices whilst the event was live! (I have no connection with any competitor).

Hands down the best virtual conference platform I've seen!

The chat, the ability to go to the stage and to do speed networking is amazing! I've used this platform a few times and have had good experiences every time. The only difficulty I've seen is the human element - people's knowledge base and willingness to explore the features provided.

Well done on a great product!

I participated in 4 events via Hopin. I like it.

Frustrating. A good experience for users who a - have a good connection and b - aren't technophobes, but really poor for those with weaker internet.

We deal with people in many Global South settings and very many of them simply could not get the stream to work. They entered sessions successfully but received either no or very intermittent sound and same with video.

For those with good connection, the only issue is getting speakers familiar and comfortable with the different sharing methods, etc. but considering the extra functionality offered by Hopin is not excessive and the connection issues, we'll be sticking with other platforms.

After trialing many different online platforms, Hopin has felt fully the most like a full conference experience, not just watching talks online. The continual updates to the platform, as well as the constant addition of new features, keeps it ahead of the rest.

We began using this platform at the beginning of the pandemic, and have been impressed by how it continues to grow and develop into a platform that's easy to use, and yet dynamic in its offerings. With pricing plans for all budgets, I would highly recommend.

Everything at once.. Great

Great experience.Second to none.

It's covinient, user interface is easy to use

Great experience for attending a virtual conference. Really liked how I could hop in and out of vendor rooms, presentations, and how easy it was to have 1:1 interactions. Also cool how it was easy to visit different "booths" and earn swag and connect with participants and vendors. Much better experience than other platforms I've used for virtual conferences in terms of making me feel like I'm "there".
