Echo360 offers good benefits for class recording
What do you like best about the product?
I like the automatic nature of the platform in that it's tethered to the start and end time of a class. Nothing needed for turning on or off.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's very hard to edit the material carefully once the recording has been generated, without removing large portions of it-- in a fast / easy manner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For students who miss class due to job interviews this is a great way for them to not only hear the lecture but also see the content, all in real time.

Overly onerous on the presenter
What do you like best about the product?
It has nice integration with Powerpoint, it can seem native given the way the toolbar works.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way the user is required to have a Turning account can be very onerous, licence management within an institution is a nightmare as the user is required to work through the company. I find some of the features to be pretty unstable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When it works it can aid audience engagement.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Depending on your need, more reliable, cheaper and easy to use alternatives exist for the online version of Turningpoint. If you are using Turingpoint with hardware, no other clicker options in the market charge an annual fee for using the software so you might want to consider alternatives first.
SUPER HELPFUL!
What do you like best about the product?
This app is super helpful to use when my colleagues and I are deciding on something and we need to poll.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how there are lots of bugs here and there, probably because it is lesser known.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My colleagues and I are solving the problems of interactive polling together. I have realized that this is such a helpful tool that reduces effort and time by at least 50%.
I use this software to answer questions from my teachers in class.
What do you like best about the product?
Teachers use it to administer tests and quizzes. It helps prevent us students from cheating or cheating and makes data collection and analysis much smoother.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think that the only problem I have found in the use of the software is the price. Many of us students have to pay the monthly paid version, but there are others who cannot afford it and that is a limitation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This software is excellent and very intuitive in classrooms as it is very functional for both teachers and us students, as it not only supports active learning with live surveys and interactive homework capabilities, but it also allows you Allows unlimited surveys to obtain information on student perceptions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I appreciate the ability of this software to communicate in large classes with students. My instructor is willing to lecture and also pose concerns for the comprehension of students. He or she can modify the education according to the responses of the student.
Interactive uses - Encriching the learning experience
What do you like best about the product?
Improves the engagement with the students or others, and helps provide instant feedback as to the instructor.
What do you dislike about the product?
No live reporting on the current usage, and overall reporting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Group interaction, instant feedback.
Excellent lecture capture and video management
What do you like best about the product?
Well-thought out SaaS platform for higher ed. Designed for higher ed. Use of sprints with updates, and very receptive to product features. Excellent support services. Very stable platform. Recording appliances are very stable. Administered at the institution level, but flexible with sub-admins for colleges, departments, or units. Good student app as well as integration with major LMSs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Somewhat expensive, but given how we were managing servers with the on-premise solution, the SaaS is definitely better. They expanded into audience response which was OK, but we use a different solution for Echo360 for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlining lecture capture for whole Veterinary curriculum was important and this checked all the boxes. Besides recording all of the courses, we use it to record training, faculty seminars used for interviews, special meetings that require live streaming for overflow attendees or attendees not at our institution. Solved some accommodation students that need extended access to courses, or need to attend remotely because of health issues.
Amazing product.
What do you like best about the product?
I liked that it picked up sound clearly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, everything seemed to work very well on my end.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to easily record lectures for my students and quickly send them.
Excellent hardware and software, continuously being developed
What do you like best about the product?
I’ve been a user of Echo360 since 2011, using the ESS version before moving across to the SaaS solution. The hardware & software is expensive compared to other lecture capture systems, such as Kaltura & Panopto, but it is robust and continually being developed. Echo360 are moving across to providing an LMS set up for students to interact with & to submit video assignments via VLEs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The old ESS was allowed to get v buggy before the SaaS solution was released & the software’s accessibility features are unnecessarily expensive, so automated captions which are 80% accurate would cost my institution £30k alone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working with Echo360 is 70% of my job. Problems we are trying to solve by using Echo360 are: student engagement, student retention & comprehension of lecture content. It also serves as a great carrot to draw students, as lecture capture is being requested more and more.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Figure out whether Echo360 pods do what you need, rather than PRO appliances or classroom capture. Much cheaper solution, although not as robust.
Great online learning platform for integrated learning
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to access online content. Being able to adjust the playback speed is great as not all presenters are deliver content at the same speeds, and it can enhance productivity. Allowing dual screens enhances the ability to see the presented material as well as one screen can be focused on the presenter and another on the slides.
What do you dislike about the product?
The quality of the online content can depend on the IT setup that is installed and managed, but the software platform itself is fantastic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accessing online multimedia content. Very useful for when audience members are unable to attend. Learners are also able to review lectures online repeatedly to help them process the information at their own pace.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Would highly recommend ECHO360 as a online learning tool for integrated learning if your organization has a good IT department to record lectures and manage online content.
TurningPoint - Great Idea, Poor Execution
What do you like best about the product?
Free for participants - only cost is the facilitators use of software.
Quick and relatively easy way to set up instantaneous polling for participants.
Also, as many other programs utilize the Clicker hardware, this software can accommodate that use for question submission.

What do you dislike about the product?
The app often doesn’t stay logged in to the session if closed out and doesn’t remember user ID.
App can crash, freeze, or otherwise have extremely slow update speeds for new questions.
Sometimes the questions don’t appear on the user platform, which can make it difficult depending on setting of use.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Useful for quickly polling students and collecting data for analysis.
Students can use personal devices as the recorder, just have to download the app.
