CEO Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Efficiency at it's finest" June 11, 2024 5.0 Incredible. It is easy to use, and those on my team who are not as tech savvy have found it incredibly easy to implement. Pros We run a lot of projects and the notes that it creates from the portfolio kick-off summary is incredible. Clicking that summary at the end of my meeting saves me an hour of time. I can always use an extra hour back in my day. Cons We have not experience something we don't like yet. Reason for choosing Fathom The amount of features they offered appeared to be the most robust. It's integration with Salesforce is paramount. Lastly, it's transcriptions and summaries are astonishingly accurate. Review Source CM Cullin M. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best recording software I've used" May 29, 2024 5.0 It's a great tool that works exactly as described, and the support has been great. Pros The tool just works exactly as described. It records and transcribes my calls effortlessly, and I love the automated recaps. I also love that I can effortlessly share recordings with clients - they appreciate that I "keep my word" because everything is documented with action items. Cons I strongly dislike that there is no multiple account feature. I have to toggle between my personal, my client account, and my agency account all day. Switched from [Otter.ai](https://www.capterra.com/p/202799/Otter/) That bot just does not work as well as Fathom, and I always found it super intrusive. It would send weird messages in the chat which would freak out clients. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Product Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Invaluable Zoom recording solution for everyone on the team" December 21, 2023 5.0 Pros Fathom quickly became our go to solution for sharing meeting recordings. It's simple to use, and the product-centric UI makes it easy to bookmark highlights from the meeting. Cons Sometimes I have trouble starting the recording after the meeting begins. Review Source Lauren D. Chief Academic and Career Coach Higher Education Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "An amazing tool" July 16, 2024 5.0 Pros I can't believe how well it divides up different pieces of content from a single meeting into meaningful headings. It catches small numbers I may miss or miss-remember with ease, and I never have to worry about not catching something small someone says anymore! Cons The only thing I dislike so far is the inability to easily edit the output text. Sometimes concepts are grouped together incorrectly and I can't just edit and forward to the client. I have to export to edit. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Customer Success Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A useful, time saving tool" December 18, 2023 5.0 Pros Fathom provides me with peace of mind when I meet with external parties. The ability to have an automated note taker, that not only records and transcribes the meeting, but also provides a detailed meeting summary, including next steps, saves me so much time. These small admin tasks take up a lot of time when taking into account the multiple external touchpoints I have as a CSM everyday. I also find the coutdown feature that I get in my mac top bar that gives me at a quick glance how much time I have until my next meeting. The installation process was simple and easy to follow, and once I got used tot he pop up that happens every time I have a meeting, using the system was a breeze. I also really appreciated that the account manager assigned to me sent me a few emails about some features that would be helpful to me in examining my use of the platform. Cons One thing they can improve on is the installation process. I am comfortable downloading an application and installing it as I work for a software company, but I can definitely see that it may be challeging to others. Review Source GS Geran S. Director, Customer Advocacy Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fathom Notetaking" December 18, 2023 5.0 Fathom has been simple to implement on our side and well-accepted both internally and externally. Whenever I have questions or concerns, the support team at Fathom is quick to reply and provide meaningful responses. The ability to generate highlights and clips of important sections on the fly has made taking action after a meeting significantly easier. Pros The main draw for myself and my team was having a quick and easy way to generate transcriptions of meetings as a part of regular call reporting. All of the additional features are just bonuses for us. The generation of meeting notes that get sent to participants is incredibly helpful. We've had customers come back and tell us how much they like having those sent to them. The transcriptions are clean and the AI summary is very accurate. Cons There are a few new features I'd like to have, mainly integrating with other tools that we use internally, so I'd hardly count that as a knock against Fathom. Review Source ES Evan S. Senior Manager Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best app to take & organise meeting notes" December 19, 2023 5.0 It is like an AI assistant, it takes perfect notes, summarises them, and creates action points, call recordings are broken down into various key segments and it is very easy to re-listen to specific parts of the call. Pros \* Easy to take & summarise notes. \* Saves a lot of time and effort. \* Ability to highlight important action points in the meeting. \* Now I do not need to get my assistant to attend the meeting to take notes. \* Starts automatically when the meeting starts, no need to restart at each meeting. \* Recording starts automatically when the attendees have joined. \* Good customer support team and quick response time. Cons It has improved a lot, and notes formatting and highlights are getting better. Nothing bad right now. Review Source EB Ernesto B. Account Manager Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Glad I got Introduced to this software " December 18, 2023 5.0 So far so good. Others on the team have adopted it as well. I came from Gong and I can say that this is a step in the right direction and way more bang for your buck. Pros I love the integration and AI notetaker. The fact that everything loads in my CRM makes it easy for me and my team to locate and execute at a higher level. Makes it easy when training as well. Just sending them a google doc or a hubspot link. Cons Just when creating tasks. The date populates to the same day, not a dealbreaker by any means though. Switched from [Gong.io](https://www.capterra.com/p/157969/Gong-io/) New job didnt have any software to record calls and in sales this is necessary in my opinion. We are a newer start up so price is a big deal and Fathom is going to be the right choice. Review Source SM Steve M. Director Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best one I have used, love it" June 17, 2024 5.0 Pros It gets the meaning, and summarises it so well. I can now focus on meetings and interviews, certain that the summary is accurate and the transcript and highlights make my life easier. And it integrates with my other stuff, so that is easy, easy to share. If I have a question they answer it quickly, that helps. I am really a fan, and would not go back now I am used to it. Cons It can turn up when you didn't mean it to...just about settings i guess. Alternatives considered [Otter.ai](https://www.capterra.com/p/202799/Otter/) Reason for choosing Fathom Summary creation formats, my need for insights generated from a collection of those, so the AI and the accuracy Switched from [Zoom Workplace](https://www.capterra.com/p/144037/Zoom-Video-Conferencing/) Increased accuracy and superb summary templates Review Source Michelle F. Implementation Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "A very helpful tool for those scattered meetings" May 2, 2024 5.0 Fathom is solving the problem of how human conversation is not always linear. I've been in meetings where people talk all over the place about what they think they want without ever actually deciding what they want. Also sometimes meetings end with no action items or next steps ever nailed down. Fathom helps capture those items for me. Pros I love the way that Fathom cuts straight to the point of the meeting. Determining key takaways, action items, next steps etc. I have been blow away with how well it can decifer someone talking in circles and get to the point of what they actually need. I love having the recap immediatly after the meeting that I can skim through to make sure that I didn't miss anything that needs to get added to my project board. I also love how easy the desktop tool was to install and use. I can start my Teams meetings directly from the Fathom app and the AI notetaker joins my meetings automatically. I have used it for every meeting I've had since signing up! Cons The AI is great but not perfect, it sometimes gets words or point incorrect.

Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Can't fathom life without fathom." April 22, 2024 5.0 Pros It's insanely fast (relative to zoom native features). It's very accurate. It's just a pleasure to use and it simply works! (everywhere, I have tried it). Cons Nothing so far. Works as it needs to and is a pleasure to use. Review Source Alissa B. Sr. Consultant Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Helps me be a better conversationalist" July 16, 2024 5.0 Pros The real-time analytics is % speaking time help me to be a better conversationalist. Cons Haven't found anything yet, however I also am not yet paying for Fathom. Switched from [Sybill](https://www.capterra.com/p/251401/Sybill/) Wanted to try something new - Fathom is easier to use. Review Source JG Jose G. Associate Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic note-taker! The best in the free market" December 19, 2023 5.0 It has been fantastic! It is a high value product with excellent output for everyday meeting and organization Pros It provides detailed summaries of every conversation and key points to take back and note as actions for next steps. Cons The bot can not enter the call without me being there Review Source SL Sheen L. Sales Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My Experience with Fathom as a Recruiter" July 19, 2024 5.0 Great! It is very useful and helpful for me as a recruiter because I can just check the recording whenever I want. I love the summary part, how they summarize everything after the call - sounds very professional. Pros As a recruiter, I like that it provides a summary of a meeting or interviews. When I want to review what the candidate said I don't have to forward the video and guess the time-stamp because the summary already has it. It also provides suggestions/actions plan after the interview. Cons We use a Google Meet during interview and I have to manually "Admit" Fathom instead of entering the meeting room automatically. Even after clicking "Start meeting with Fathom" I still have to click admit. Review Source LW Luci W. Channel, Guide Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Brilliant Video Recording and Transcription" March 29, 2024 5.0 Ease. Flow. Happiness. Efficiency. Flowing with the documentation of progress and calls with my clients. It is seamless. Customer service is setting a new standard. Absolutely amazing. Pros I love how at the end of a meeting I can instantaneously share the recording with participants. WONDERFUL TIME SAVER! Also I love the transcription. It is so helpful to be able to scroll through the content to find the spot I'm looking for. And the video is pretty amazing too. Cons I don't prefer how it takes up a window of its own on zoom calls. Simply because it can end up in a breakout room, which is not effective. But it's really not that big of a deal. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Administrative Assistant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "NO MORE Handwritten Note Taking!!!!!!!" September 4, 2024 5.0 I LOVE this AI tool. I have neuropathy so typing fast and accurately is sometimes hard. Fathom enables me to catch anything I may have missed during a meeting and allows me to copy and paste and playback the video to see who made the motion or statement. Pros VERY EASY to use! Automatically records and sends the transcript to your email so you can copy and paste into a report. The email includes the video recording, transcript, and summary. Cons NOTHING! It is 98% accurate with the transcript. Switched from [Otter.ai](https://www.capterra.com/p/202799/Otter/) Fathom records both video and transcript whereas Otter only records transcript and Fathom records the whole meeting not just 30 minutes like Otter.

Operations and Customer Support Leader Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Meeting Game Changer" December 18, 2023 5.0 Excellent platform and 10/10 will be upgrading to more features. Pros My biggest loves for this platform - Pulls questions and lists them - Action items and highlight button - don't have a pen, no worries - The meeting summary transcription - so good. Cons I haven't found what I don't like about it yet - its really been a great platform. Review Source KŠ Kaja Š. People Expert Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "People Expert" July 9, 2024 5.0 Pros High level of good text transcription, easieness of adding it to zoom meetings add hoc - it can enter as another attende. The feature on my top bar that shows me how much time till next meeting. Easiness of sharing the links with others in my company. I use it on a daily basis. It is very easy to implement into daily practices and connect with other tools. Cons It has a predetermined way of summarizing notes, which works great for general meetings, but when making recruitment notes I need to download the whole transcript and prompt ChatGPT it to do a more detailed summary. Review Source MO Mindy O. Senior Venture Scout Fund-Raising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Valuable Piece to your Sales Puzzle!" December 19, 2023 4.0 My success is a direct reflection of Fathom's ability to make me feel confident going into every call. Pros Fathom allows me to feel confident going into any meeting. Most days my kids are home with me, so my head my not always be 100% in my calls. Fathom gives me the ease of knowing I can revisit, tasks are highlighted, reminders set, simply never miss a beat. Cons Sometimes it can be slow to start when hoping on a call, but this is extremely rare. Review Source AS Abdul S. CX Technical Writer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "My Ultimate Notetaker for Effortless Call Management" August 6, 2024 5.0 With Fathom handling note-taking and task identification, I can focus more on the substance of meetings and less on administrative tasks.The AI's ability to capture and summarize key points accurately means I have reliable records of all my calls, enhancing my ability to recall and act on important information. By removing the distraction of note-taking, I can participate more fully in discussions, leading to more productive and meaningful conversations. Pros Fathom seamlessly joins all my calls, records them, and provides concise summaries along with actionable next steps. It saves me a tremendous amount of time and ensures I never miss important details. The AI's ability to capture key points and organize them effectively is a game-changer for staying on top of my tasks and follow-ups. Cons While Fathom is incredibly useful, there might be occasional inaccuracies in transcription or context interpretation. Additionally, relying heavily on AI-generated notes may sometimes overlook the nuances of a conversation that only a human touch can capture. Review Source GV Geoff V. Enterprise Customer Success Manager Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Fathom AI "A Must Have For Customer Success Managers!!!!!"" April 12, 2024 5.0 It's been an amazing tool for me to better support my clients, and allows me to focus on the client and not so much trying to write down notes during my meetings. Pros As an Enterprise CSM, I have many conversations with big clients. Sometimes having many on my Zoom calls all at once. Fathom AI allows me to focus on my clients, actively listen better to them, and bring as much value to the meetings as possible. Fathom stays behind the scenes gathering all the Action Items, key take aways, and notes that I can gather and send a recap to the customer, and also log that recap in our other CRMs that we use. It's a game-changer in the CS world for sure! Cons I honestly don't think I have anything I dislike about it. So far, it has been amazing, and hasn't let me down. Review Source ZA Zach A. Sr. Customer Success Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Tremendous help" June 11, 2024 5.0 Extremely useful tool. I don't know why I delayed in trying this out, it's super helpful. Pros Great resource for ensuring no detail is overlooked. The post-call summaries are clutch and a great resource to prep for upcoming calls. Cons Honestly, nothing. It meets or exceeds all expectations I have for helping me manage my meetings. Switched from [Fireflies](https://www.capterra.com/p/197037/Fireflies/) Fathom is superior than the other product I was using, especially in summarizing post-call action items and topics. Review Source YP Yannick P. Mindset and Confidence Coach Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Effective and best in class AI summary and Zoom recording" December 20, 2023 5.0 Fathom helps me leave my laptop home and take calls using my iPad knowing that the recording will be available to me/clients (no need to carry a notebook when traveling). It also helps me focus on my client and not worry about note taking. Highlighting sections of the conversation is handy when needing to remember something that was said and the upgraded AI Summary is excellent! Pros The cloud recording is just awesome, this is a handy feature and that's not even speaking of the AI features such as rich summary and transcript function! Cons The odd time, Live Stream cloud recording (still in beta) seems to fail without rime or reason and manually restarting it is hit/miss. Reason for choosing Fathom I felt Fathom offered a better solution to try it out as there were relatively few restrictions. Review Source Declan S. Director of Operations Management Consulting Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Life changing " December 20, 2023 5.0 Love it. Saves me hours and also allows me to relax and just listen to my clients Pros I work as a leadership consultand and also have a lot of one on one coaching with many of the leaders on the team..Fathom has saved me so much time after calls when I would have to go through pages of notes from the call. It also allows me to be much more present and listening on the call. I am now using it every day on every call internally and externally. Love it It was also so easy to install on zoom and then on teams . It even pops up and reminds me about calls that are coming up. I was also impressed by the personal follow up to make sure everything was working smoothly Cons It sometimes makes the other party uncomfortable to know that theu are been recorded but that passes quickly when i explain the reaosn..I trust and expect everything recorded is private and not ever made public or used Review Source Similar Products Featured
