Shindig Reviews
"A Fun and Interactive Virtual Event Platform!"
Pros: I recently hosted an event on the Shindig platform and it was a huge success! The interface was incredibly user-friendly and provided all of the tools I needed to host a successful virtual event. From interactive polls to breakout rooms, Shindig had it all! It's definitely my go-to platform for hosting any future virtual events.
Cons: No Shortcomings Discovered Yet in Shindig
"Shindig instead of in-person"
Overall: We use Shindig for our yearly legal tech conference where we invite vendors and C-level executives to a rapid fire showcase on legal tech and workflows. Shindig works well for us because our guests like to connect with people of their choosing (not be pushed) and that breakout rooms could happen while someone was presenting on stage.
Pros: Love that it's easy to network and connect with people and that it's user friendly. I also really enjoy the live profile pics and the stage, LOVE the stage....really cool way to make you feel like you are really "there" live.
Cons: tech issues (i.e. what browser you are using, on VPN, etc)- although in fairness the tech issues are 95% user based but it does complicate things if you have to hand hold your audience.
"Very Useful platform for Vitual Interaction"
Overall: I love this platform and it was my my first time attending a virtual event of metaverse. I was really surprised at the capacity of interaction available using this platform. The sessions scheduled on the dashboard contains very informative sessions for me which i am planning to join. I am glad that i am introduced to this platform.
Pros: Shindig is a powerful platform with wide range of informative sessions available to learn and grow. It provides a virtual platform to attend events. I love the metaverse interactions and library. It makes me partly feel like i am going to attend an event in reality.
Cons: I wish that there were more people using this platform. This platform would have been huge and very helpful if it attracts more crowds.
"Perfect Solution For Virtual Events Management"
Overall: Shindig is Perfect Platform to host virtual events, meetings and workshops with your teams or anyone you want. We are using this software to host online meetings with teams and clients to provides better solutions.
Pros: It's a great software that provides all the features like Online Registration, Live Streaming, Attendee Management, Real-Time Chat, etc. to host any virtual events. The Software is very easy to use and flexible to update anything between the events.
Cons: It's little bit tricky for user who used this first time but after that it will works fantastic.
"ShinDig is uniquely dynamic among other event platforms"
Overall: We're producing panels, workshops, and award shows that allow people to see each other in the room, the way they would at an in-person event. Interaction between attendees can be real live video chatting, not just text chatting. The rotating CTA widget is also great, because it allows us to provide our sponsors some additional real estate / web traffic.
Pros: Shindig has great customer service, and a responsive development team. Interaction between event attendees is more dynamic and flexible than other platforms. Customization and uploading backgrounds in the event rooms gives you the opportunity for fabulous aesthetics, and makes people really feel like they're "in the room," plus provides you plenty of branding opportunities. Being able to upload heavy video files and play them flawlessly is a great feature. And capturing recordings in full screen makes it like zoom, but way better. 6 podiums on the stage covers our needs. Shindig helps our events shine!
Cons: The wysiwyg editor for the event landing page is a little clunky and out of date, but you can work around it. We have used eventbrite for our ticketing, because shindig doesn't yet have complex registration options built in, such as multiple custom discount codes.
