Echo360 Reviews & Product Details

I like that students can get practice in a low stakes way. It builds their confidence for evaluated observations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I echo my original comments. I still find it hard to find my old courses and assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Echo360's ability to bring multiple essential functions, like lecture capture, captioning, accessibility features, content delivery, student engagement, and basic assessment, into a single platform. This all-in-one approach simplifies the experience for both instructors and students, reducing the need to juggle multiple tools. Echo360's integration of lecture capture, captioning, and student engagement tools into a single platform is especially valuable from both a support and instructional standpoint. For instructors, it lowers the barrier of entry because once they learn the system, they can access multiple features without needing to adopt and manage separate tools. This streamlines course design and delivery. From my perspective as an administrator, this integration also simplifies training and support, allowing me to focus on helping instructors maximize one platform. Additionally, Echo360's outstanding support during the initial setup and rollout, including on-campus training and ongoing workshops, has been invaluable. Their support has consistently helped me solve any issues I couldn't figure out on my own. I also appreciate the gradebook integration between Echo360 and Brightspace D2L, which is a very nice feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Echo360 offers a strong set of features, there are areas that could be improved, particularly from an administrative and reporting viewpoint. One of the main challenges is the lack of a comprehensive dashboard that allows administrators to easily monitor contract usage. Maybe even introduce a new 'Super Administrator' role to the platform so only designated administrators have access to contract usage and reporting numbers. Having this information more clearly visible would enable us to make more informed decisions and use our resources more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Echo360 offers us unlimited video storage, which means I don't have to worry about running out of space, and we can keep over a decade's worth of videos available if needed. I appreciate the features that support accessibility requirements and how the hardware helps create a consistent experience for our in-classroom technology package. Another thing I enjoy is the viewing analytics feature, which is valued by instructors. The .csv imports are also quite beneficial as they allow us to get information into the system quickly without needing to know how to use the APIs, and they let me complete tasks in bulk, saving me time from doing them manually.

The Echo360 landscape is confusing to users, especially with multiple different ways to organize and share videos, and the confusing language in the platform. The video player itself is outdated and aggravating, and some basic features like editing playlists just don't exist. The mobile apps desperately need improvements. Sometimes I think Echo360 had really good ideas, but they weren't implemented completely, and then were forgotten for later-promised improvements. From an administrative perspective, there are some frustrating quirks in the UI that are frustrating to work with, such as slow or inaccurate search results and the inability to open captures in their own tab. Overall, the administrative experience is slow and laggy, and many of the interface choices are frustrating to navigate. There's also a lack of permissions customization for user roles.

No real changes to features, still useful and will continue to use until better solution comes along. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of Use Implementation: Streamlined Implementation for a User-Friendly Experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fewer features and tough to integrate. It offers only a limited number of features, and incorporating it into existing systems is quite challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Echo360 makes it extremely easy to create videos with and without the installable application. With the introduction of their Browser Based Capture, end users can easily use the same functionality of the downloaded application without needing to download anything. The best part of these recordings is that you have a super clear side by side recording. One full window of your screen share, and one full window of your camera capture. This is very useful for faculty and students who are sharing presentations. Echo360 also includes a very basic editor that is great for quick editing functions.

There is not much I have found to dislike with Echo360. My main issue would most likely be the licensing structure. Four our industry, it goes by number of active users, which includes users who have only logged in one time the entire year. It is a cumulative number that grows the first time each user logs in.

I'm using Echo 360 in almost all training sessions. It allows me to keep the audience engaged, check their emotional response, verify the acquisition of knowledge and stimulate their problem-solving skills. It is easy to use (especially with the AI question-generator), completely and smoothly integrated into the presentation, very intuitive to use and apply. Ask the audience to scan a QR code on the screen or monitor and you're in business, live or online. Other features allow me to create groups for competitions, contests, etc. Reporting is simple, detailed and easy to analyze. Perfect for synchronous and asynchronous training.

Nothing essential, but I'd like to keep animations created on PPT. I must say that the ECHO 360 team has been very attentive and responsive to my suggestions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is integrated into PowerPoint for seamless polling through a software application I'm using everyday anyway. Once students have done their part, the usage is very stable. I also like that I can upload quizzes right after class in about 2 minutes. One unexpected advantage of daily quizzes has been the ability to see who is struggling and have a pattern of performance (attendance, scores, etc.) when engaging in correction or intervention. I use a few of the advanced features at times, but even just sticking with the basics has become a strength of the class. The energy rises when the bar graph shows 50/50 on a true/false. Sometimes I reveal a winner, sometimes I will quickly repoll and say "convince someone you're right!" and more often than not the correct answer comes in at a higher percentage. Customer support has generally been strong over my time using the program. New student videos for how to register have come in a timely manner. In addition, I've literally sent problem session files and had experts help me out. I've used it for many years and have never felt like I've been left without a solution.

I'm sure everyone has their wish list of additional features. My current top three are to be able to set a session value instead of just a question value so I could consistently say that each daily quiz is 15 points. Currently, it depends on how many questions I ask or I need to manually adjust each question. Secondly, I wish it could scatterplot but that may be a PowerPoint limitation. Finally, I wish it would tell me who is answering in the room vs. remote. I do want sick students to stay home, but I'd like to be able to see any patterns of concern.
