Designated, supported lecture capture for my institution
What do you like best about the product?
Echo360 is our chosen solution for lecture capture at our institution. It offers active learning features and analytics that the faculty find extremely helpful for delivery of asynchronous content, and synchronous classes equally use it for polling and review options. From an institutional perspective, Echo offers us an affordable cloud-based solution for video storage, which would otherwise not be feasible in our LMS. Additionally, we have had an excellent experience with support needs, as their support team has consistently addressed needs quickly, including feature requests.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it is beneficial to have more than one integration option for Echo360, some of them can be technically clunky, requiring multiple clicks and back end work, particularly when trying to use video across multiple semesters and having to clone sections. It can prove to be a steep learning curve for many faculty. The B2 to LTI needs have been somewhat slow, also.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Video files tend to be large and are not feasible for direct embed in our LMS. Echo solves this problem with unlimited cloud hosting and direct integration options. It also user authenticates, allowing faculty to collect data on user views and other analytics, particularly when faculty take advantage of the additional features such as polling, confusion flags, and note taking. Echo also offers a solid video production platform to help faculty easily create videos and manage them in the Echo library.

Tool for multiple utility
What do you like best about the product?
Recording and storing the videos. Also, the editing with various features is one of the cool things. Sharing and integrating ability makes this software more usable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I like most of the features but still, I feel I do not know how to use a few features. I would like to see more friendly navigation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ECHO 360 as my biggest live saver during the pandemic for my job. It helps in recording my lecture videos and share with my class. Creating the link and embedded in various platfoms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Love to use and happy to recommend
Focused is on higher education. Limited Corporate/HR training usage.
What do you like best about the product?
The product works great for audience response and student engagement. Anyone can use the ppt. plugin to create questions ahead of time without a license. Their customer service has been great.
What do you dislike about the product?
The off-line login is cumbersome. There is a feature to remember your credentials for off-line logging in but it does not work. This is problematic when there is not access to WiFi to validate license credentials. The focus of the product offerings are on with higher education customers where some of cost is differed to the student and they can take advantage of on-line features and app. The only way to take advantage of most features is to require attendees or participants to download an app which works for internal employees and students but not so much with corporate customers, adult education, conferences, and tradeshow applications. We use the response cards which limits the features and options available. Not a fan of using G2 to solicit feedback. There are other, less invasive feedback tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use the response cards to add engagement in corporate learning, conferences, conventions and adult education training courses. The realized benefit is the increased student engagement.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for an audience engagement tool it will do that just fine. It is a very pricy option for just engagement, especially if you are only going to be an occasional user. All of the features beyond simple response require audiences or students to download the app. Requires internet access for use which can be cost prohibitive at a convention, trade show or conference. You also have to take into consideration time for new uses downloading and learning the app.
Staying Connected in a Remote World
What do you like best about the product?
Turning allows you to stay connected to participants and colleagues even in a virtual environment. Turning allows you to strategically place live surveys, word clouds, and other content to obtain real-time feedback from your meeting attendees. This type of content is a key factor in keeping your audience focused and engaged, and I highly suggest incorporating this software into all of your meetings!
What do you dislike about the product?
There have been times where the software didn't properly save feedback.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Participant engagement and helping the attendees feel apart of the conversation. This software gives the meeting attendees a bigger voice.

Voting Made Easy
What do you like best about the product?
This easily tied into Powerpoint and offers multiple ways for the voters to provide their vote.
What do you dislike about the product?
We couldn't find an easy way to tie it into a totally virtual vote that met the parameters of our population. This was really more our issue because our parameters are very complex. It meets them for a live vote, just not the virtual vote.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have automated the counting of votes and documenting those votes to coincide with the bylaws of our organization.
Executive Assistant
What do you like best about the product?
We like that we can use one program for all of the current programs. We like the versatility and the easy usage. We liked the technical team and the customer service that we are able to use all of the time. We love having feed back and input on future development.
What do you dislike about the product?
We did not like not having the ability to see as many screens of attendees, nor waiting for turning point and exam view integration but are promised that it is coming
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving our issue of using too many programs and frustration. Benefits are beyond comprehension. This will allow us to use the teachers time more effectively and make learning easier.

Ease of use for all ages. flexibility to participate by computer or phone. Flexibility in build options.

Echo360 Review
What do you like best about the product?
It allows for professors to record lectures for students to watch later
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't cancel out background noise, so you can hear students rustling around
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can prerecord lectures for students to watch later. I can also password protect the lectures so only my students have access
