GoBrunch vs Zoho Meeting: Which is a better fit?

Frank P.: Hey, I'm Frank and I'm a lead pastor and I give GoBrunch a five star review. And for more information on that, just click below. Well, before I started using GoBrunch, I experimented with a number of different softwares. I used the easiest at the time, was Facebook live. We were doing live broadcasting, but I did find that it wasn't really adequate for what I wanted. The first thing that attracted me to GoBrunch were positive reviews, online reviews, and the price, which was free. And the second thing that attracted me to GoBrunch was that I would be able to harvest emails as I set up webinars and people needed to register. This was what was lacking in some of the other programs that I had used. Getting started with GoBrunch was really, really simple. And within a matter of minutes, I had a webinar set up and we went into these webinars immediately. And this was back when the pandemic first hit and we moved all of our activities totally online, so we had no in-person activities. And we did not miss a day, we did not miss a week, we just immediately went online. I would highly recommend that people try the GoBrunch webinar format. One of the main things about it also is that at there's a community. I had no idea about that when I first started with GoBrunch. But there's a worldwide community, there are people that I know in many, many countries because of GoBrunch. And during the pandemic, we were meeting once every two weeks online for live seminars or webinars, trying to help one another to present even better webinars, better formatting. And anytime new features were introduced, they would be introduced in these webinars. And the GoBrunch platform continues to introduce new features. There's some that are just getting ready to come out that I'm really looking forward to having, it's going to really help. I don't see any time in the future that we're not going to be using GoBrunch.

Susan: Hi, my name is Susan. I'm a Tech Ninja. I give Zoho Meeting a five out of five rating. For more reviews like this, click link below. Probably, most everybody else was Zoom. I switched primarily because I was using Zoho One and it was integrated with that. So one of the reasons I chose Zoho meeting is because it's integrated with Zoho CRM, so everything's in one place. But actually, I found a lot of features within Zoho Meeting that I like better than Zoom. One of the features was that when I was using Zoom, if I wanted to share a video with someone, I would have to download it and then email them because my storage on Zoom was getting filled up. With Zoho Meeting, once I record a video, it sends me an email with the link embedded, and all I'll have to do is forward that email link to my customer and they can just click on it. So, it was a lot less steps for me to do a meeting share like that. The other thing I like is there's actually a lot of features within Zoho. They had a chat area where I can take notes, besides the chat, and share that with people on the call. So there were just some features that Zoom may have integrated since I switched about a year ago, but there's some things in Zoom that I had never seen in Zoom... Or Zoho that I had never seen in Zoom before. So, that was really good. As far as integrating Zoho Meeting, it was pretty easy for me because I have been in tech for a while. It was a little disconcerting for my customers, because they were so used to Zoom that there was a little bit of a learning curve, but not much. Once they realized this was very similar to Zoom, it worked really well for them as well. So if you're looking for something else besides Zoom, I recommend Zoho Meeting as an alternative. One of the reasons I really made the switch is because I'm using Zoho One, I'm paying a fee of $37 per month for all the tools within Zoho One. And there are a lot. Zoho Meeting is just one of them. But one of the other things was just by integrating my invoicing and my meetings into Zoho, I was paying initially with Zoom and FreshBooks, $40 a month, and I'm only paying $37 a month with Zoho Meeting. So if you're looking to consolidate not only your tools as well as your cost into something, I recommend Zoho One as an alternative. But test it out.
