Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Great remote work tools, much improved video and audio connection reliability. Fun for remote events and conferences, and unique retro art style. Even with the given pixel-art style UI, the platform art is completely customizable through their "mapmaker" tool, where video conferencing can happen on top of any image or drawn architecture.

Cons

  • Avatar sprites are not customizable, and new features are tested and rolled out so frequently that the UI may change often.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Compared to Skype, FaceTime, Zoom Webex, and the like, Vectera does convince with ease of use for all parties taking part in the online meeting. Granted, the video quality is not on the same level as Zoom or FaceTime, but Vectera is far more reliable and hasn't cut out on me once. The ability to sync with calendars and schedule appointments is easily setup. What I liked most, though, is the whiteboard functionality and document annotations. Vectera works without any annoying downloads or installations (Cisco, Zoom, Skype, anyone?) right out of the box.
  • Vectera is easy to use and clients comment on that and ask about it. The cobrowse is amazing for tech support work and training. White label url and appointment scheduler bumps professionalism. One of the best parts is the customer service. They are always making things better.
  • #1- Very simple and easy to navigates user interface. #2- Easy to establish a web conference. #3- Useful Screen mirroring and screencasting features. #4- Meeting scheduling and reminder.

Cons

  • There're a couple of improvements, though, and I've already highlighted them with the development team, which I found somewhat responsive and open to suggestions. One of the things I'm missing is, for example, the ability to conduct a meeting offline. Rather than online video, I'd like to provide the client with a phone number to call. Right there in the invite that's sent out once a meeting is scheduled as a phone call and not a video conference. This isn't possible with Vectera, and I can't wait for this small add-on to get implemented.
  • The only issue is the background blur in video is choppy because it takes a lot of resources. Once in a while a caller drops off, so you have to make sure that everyone is using Chrome for best experience. That can be an issue for mac users.
  • #1- We had an overall positive experience with it.
