Game Changer
What do you like best about the product?
The tool has improved significantly over the past year, and it is constantly being updated to improve it. A solid staff committed to continuous improvement, which is not usually the case with SaaS businesses. To me, this is a huge thing!
What do you dislike about the product?
One of my only gripes was that it was rather pricey at first since I have been using it. I can only use it with chrome right now. Another tiny gripe is at the fps limit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an entrepreneur, I'm well aware that managing mistakes frequently defines us. Riverside.fm has provided excellent customer service. So far, all of the errors have been mine. Despite this, they've been patient, helpful, and prompt in resolving any issues I've encountered.
Great app for podcast enthusiast
What do you like best about the product?
I like the possibility of marrying podcast audio with podcast video on the same site. This makes it a great alternative to podcast enthusiasts and beginners who look for a creative start.
What do you dislike about the product?
I´m a little thrown back because of pricing; it is a little bit expensive for a complete beginner who looks forward to building an online presence on different platforms
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was a little bit slow on my content creation workflow because I was the only person involved with the process, so it took me much time to perform all duties due to my project, Riverside solved my problem with time, everything was much easier
Record high quality live streams with multiple people for your podcast
What do you like best about the product?
What sold me was that it was one of the first solutions for recording separate native audio tracks for podcast guests. Riverside has since improved its platform, adding some quick video editing tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are issues with remote guests getting their complete audio track synced and uploaded, but it was solved by reminding guests that they must leave their browser open until it's done.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am producing higher-quality audio for my remote podcasts. Other video conferencing tools like Skype and Hangouts produce "watery" sound for guests over the internet.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There is also a mobile app for guests who cannot gain access to a computer for your stream/recording/show.
Excellent Product, Unparalleled Customer Service
What do you like best about the product?
Riverside's wav quality files and sleek user interface make my client-facing job easy. I provide them with quality mics and headphones, they provide the content.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that the price point was lower, but I appreciate the tiered options. I also wish they could figure out a way around wonky internet connections, but that's on the ISP end of things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am a podcast producer. The separate wav files for each speaker allows for a seamless sound and easy editing. I can manage multiple projects and clients in a single platform.
Stay away from this buggy product
What do you like best about the product?
Getting started was simple, the interface was ok
What do you dislike about the product?
Buggy!! I recorded my first episode:
* Delays during session recording - I was asking a question, and I saw how my guest kept talking for five more seconds until reacting to my inquiry.
* No mic-bleed detection - apparently, first comers, be it the speaker or guest, can have equipment issues. The platform should have detected this mic-bleed issue which manifests itself as an echo of the guest in your soundtrack (or vice versa), you left recording a full hour before finding out! You would expect their getting started guide to recommend a test drive before any guest recording - nope.
* Internet backup recordings - they are a mess: jumbled, missing parts, speedy parts - a big unusable mess.

Wanted to record my pod-cast hassle-free
Best option out there to record virtual interviews/podcasts
What do you like best about the product?
All the guest needs to do is click on a link, join the call and the producer/host can do all the rest. The recordings are made natively, meaning that there will be no internet distortion on your recording. another plus, you get to click on the magic editor and you have a finished video file within minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's only available/compatible to be used on Google Chrome. This is a major drawback for me since some of my guests are not very tech-savvy and/or won't have the time to go download google chrome just to join my interview. Another issue I've found is that once you're in the call, you're not allowed to change the roles of the people in that call. can't change the producer role to a guest so that I can allow them to be in the recording.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We interview people from all over the country using riverside.fm for our podcast. Helps us save time and allows us to connect with more people and bring more content to our platform. Despite the need of having to use google chrome, is still the best option available out there to perform this task
Easy Tool for Beginner
What do you like best about the product?
Riverside.fm made producing our podcast and managing our guests very easy. It is a super easy tool to use if you are looking to start a podcast. Although I have never used the feature, there is the ability to produce the audio/video using their magic editor (rather than pulling it into an audio/video production software). Also, they have built-in noise/echo canceling, which is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
No matter how strong the internet connection is, there always seems to be some form of latency during the recording session. It does not affect the audio or video that's recorded, but it does undoubtedly throw off the cadence of the session.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a one-stop shop for recording a Podcast. It eliminates us having to use multiple tools to handle various aspects of our recording session.
Best Platform of Its Type
What do you like best about the product?
We moved off Zencastr to Riverside because of its stability and its better features. I love the accessibility of tech support at all times within the chat during the recording sessions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Make sure that if you upload a custom background to your "magic video" that the aspect ratio is exactly what it needs to be in the final render. I learned the hard way that the background image file controls the aspect ratio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Riverside enables us to podcast with two hosts on opposite coasts and add guests easily into the mix. We're also beginning to use its new "clips" feature to pull highlights for social.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test before using. You'll like it.
Best online recording studio for podcasts and recorded webinars!
What do you like best about the product?
Riversidefm offers the ability to record full HD tracks for each of the meeting members and separately for the shared screen. The video quality is excellent for pre-recorded webinars. The fact that each video comes synced with its own audio track (yes, you also get individual audio tracks!) is a great benefit as it allows us editors to clean the background audio while a guest isn't speaking. We also love the background noise reduction feature as some guests on our show won't have external microphones.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much to dislike. The one little thing that bugged us, in the beginning, was the guest URL but once we had that figured out, our studio is super easy to use.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're saving so much time in post-production since we get individual audio tracks for each speaker which allows us to early master the audio tracks. The quality of our pre-recorded lessons has increased dramatically with the support of 1080p recording.
Great platform, but free plan is lacking compared to Zencastr
What do you like best about the product?
I was looking for a podcast recording platform that is easy to use for me and my guests and found Riverside.fm very easily. It does look very promising and has great reviews.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first I thought it was good and it sure is very functional, but I found the user experience to be a bit confusing after a while and some of my guests found it to be so as well. It also limits you to 60 minutes of recording, and we found that we could test for much longer on Zencastr, which has a more intuitive interface. That's why we switched.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
