Shindig Reviews & Product Details

Shindig Overview

What is Shindig?

Shindig is a virtual event platform for online video chat events. Its unique technology offers the dynamics of an in-person event at Internet scale. Shindig enables hosts to deliver a video conference, lecture, seminar, interview or media event in front of an online audience of thousands. Hosts can share the stage for face-to-face interactions with audience members before the entire gathering, or sidebar with participants privately. Unlike other video conference or webinar meeting technologies,audience members themselves are also able to network, converse, and socialize with one another in their own self-initiated private video chats, just as naturally as they would at in person events.

What do you dislike about Shindig?

What problems is Shindig solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a bigger and more expandable video chatting network without the hassle. There is already a lot of anxiety to talking to a room full of people and when you add technology with it, where there are more factors added in for things to go wrong, it only hightens the anxiety. Shindig is easy to use and possesses features like backstage preparement and countdowns until you are on air to alleviate those concerns and anxieties that other platforms may cause.

What do you like best about Shindig?

The video quality and realness are associated with the video-conferencing application. It is available for both Android and iOS which is a good thing and you can organize a private even too using credentials. You can record everything too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shindig?

Nothing as of now. It is just not popular and widely used.

The application needs more marketing to be widely used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Shindig:

Use it for your conferences. A good tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shindig?

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shindig?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shindig solving and how is that benefiting you?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shindig?

One can add pretty backgrounds while conducting meetings- which adds to its attractiveness. Adding to this, I think it has got very decent customer help (which is rare-especially with newly developed platforms). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shindig?

It is very slow at times- I literally need to hop off from the call and connect again in order to fix this issue.

Not an easy-to-understand interface- leads to difficulty in comphending the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shindig solving and how is that benefiting you?

Not major problems are solved via this platform. It is just an alternative to other video conferencing applications that are available in the market.

I would urge to use this platform only if one is not able to find an alternative for conducting online meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shindig?

I really like the fact that when using shindig I can attend large scale meetings with lots of people, from all over the world. I find it more useful than features like Skype and zoom when it comes to extremely large meetings, but only extremely large meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shindig?

In contrast I really like to use zoom for meetings that are 50 people and under. Some of the features are easier to use in zoom when it comes to being able to work in breakout rooms. However shindig also does a really good job at mediating large scale groups. It is easier to screen share in shindig as well, as opposed to its competitors, But using that tool is more complicated to get to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Shindig:

Be patient when you 1st begin using the platform. It's always a journey when using new software in the work environment. The features are fairly easy to navigate with some practice. I would say overall shindig is fairly easy to use and ultimately ultimately user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shindig solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some of the problems I've been solving with shindig, are having the ability to meet in large groups with lots of different healthcare providers. Some in the homecare industry, some specializing in Jerry attrick, some specializing in assisted living and others who are in the hospital network. This platform makes it easy to meet with anyone on a global basis (assuming you assuming you get the time zone correct lol). I would recommend chendig to anyone looking for a similar experience with lots of people joining one meeting. Furthermore I also have not had any issues with the application crashing during a call. I have however had that issue with zoom and Skype in previous experiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shindig?

Sometimes times slow speed makes the work tough. Some focus on UI can make this software best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Shindig:

If you need a platform to share your screen with the client/team and meet through Video Conferencing, you can definitely go for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shindig solving and how is that benefiting you?

Many a times clients want to understand the product first. Shindig makes it possible to present my product through Video Conferencing. It also helps me to take virtual meeting with my team in this tough time of COVID Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
