I've Got My Eyeson This Product

Let me preface by saying that I have a lot of experience with tools such as Skype, Teams, Zoom, GoToMeeting, Vectera, and on and on.

Eyeson is a ground-breaking piece of software in this market. It is focused on providing wonderful looking video calls and 'phone' calls for team and client meetings. The cherry on top? It does webinars as well! The icing on top of the cherry? It even handles live streaming.

PROS

- Rooms - a nice looking way to keep things organized and nice customization features to give it a little extra pizzazz. What's even better is that when you click on a room you are brought to a waiting area where you can add people to the call, but also participate in a chat room (I feel as though users will have mixed feelings on this feature - will elaborate later).

- The calls themselves - are super clean and modern, they're exactly what you expect of a product in 2020. The ability to add GIFs, chat, take snapshots, react, moderate participants, and send quick join links all from inside the call, but not in an intrusive manner is a testament to the marriage of the UI and UX of Eyeson. I especially love that you have customization over the layout of the call and can drag and drop participants manually as well so you can keep things static and uniform and create a hierarchy even.

- Features features features - there are just so many and the integrations, while are few at the moment, I anticipate will ramp up and accommodate past deals on AppSumo.

- API key - the fact that you can build on top of your Eyeson account via an API key and connect your own product natively is awesome! You have the freedom to do what you want with Eyeson. It's truly meant to be your solution to just about anything and everything.

CONS
(honestly not many)

- This is maybe a bit of a nuance, but I would like a way to possibly go back to my Eyeson dashboard reliably; right now there's just the back button (maybe link it to the Eyeson logo in the top left?)

- On the App there is a Feed tab that doesn't make sense to me, it's just blog posts that I have no interest in whatsoever (no offense). Additionally, Webinars and Rooms are combined so it can be a bit difficult at times if you want to use a uniform name across both via the desktop experience, but it doesn't translate well to the mobile experience and creates clutter rather than organization.

I see people complaining about the limits in the Questions and they're largely unjustified. The pricing on Eyeson's site, for their Enterprise plan, includes 100 participants. That's just a technical infrastructure limitation and considering Microsoft Teams provides 250, I would say 100 for a startup is impressive, especially at this price for us! I am sure they'll look to open those tunnels in the future to allow more participants.

This deal is awesome. Grab it now!
