"perfect for remote work"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Gather?

The most useful feature remains the use of virtual offices & rooms, which allows remote teams to connect as if they were in the office. Everything is designed for remote communication: virtual rooms, screen sharing, audio & video, annotations on the shared screen, or even calendar integration. We love the ease of use and the additional features that add a fun touch: the retro design, applause, karting... I've been using it for several years, and trying it is adopting it.

"Centralized Event Management with Robust Conflict Detection"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Gather?

I love the clean interface and simple navigation of Gather, which keeps everything organized from inquiries to invoices in one place. The setup process was straightforward without a need for extensive coding, making it manageable and a worthy investment of time. I greatly value Gather's structured workflows, which play a central role in our resource management, allowing us to link staffing with venues effectively to avoid double bookings. The centralized resource and space booking feature with conflict detection is instrumental in ensuring that we don’t overcommit our resources for partner events, enhancing our operational efficiency. I find the integration with Realm particularly useful as it allows automatic syncing of events, which ensures enhanced coordination and data consistency. The approval workflows and conflict prevention features are remarkable because bookings can only proceed if spaces are available, providing detailed resource tracking and clear visibility of asset usage. These elements combined make Gather an invaluable tool for streamlining operations and optimizing resource utilization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gather?

I would like to see CRM integration in Gather, as it would help reduce manual data entry. Additionally, I believe that improved customization for reporting would be beneficial. This would allow us to generate more detailed insights into resource utilization, financial metrics, and event attendance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Meetings with Gather's Engaging Interface"
5/5
What do you like best about Gather?

I really like the animation style, especially the pixel art, as it kind of gamifies asking for help and makes it easier to do so. I also find Gather more intuitive compared to other tools like Zoom. It's quite easy to switch from having a group meeting to one-on-one sessions because of the segmentation and visualization of the rooms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gather?

From memory it wasn't very easy to record video, and share later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Natural, Human Online Interactions That Make Meetings Truly Engaging"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Gather?

The best thing about Gather, is how it makes online interactions feel natural and human—more like moving through a real space, drifting into conversations, and connecting spontaneously, rather than being stuck in rigid video grids. It strikes a great balance between productivity and creativity, turning meetings into experiences that feel genuinely engaging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gather?

Gather can feel confusing for new users. It can also be laggy at times, and if the space isn’t designed well it can end up looking overly busy, which makes the experience feel less smooth than a simple video call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Convenient for Meetings but Lacks Privacy Features"
5/5
What do you like best about Gather?

I like Gather because it makes it easy to meet up with my friends and colleagues. I appreciate its features that allow me to mute someone if I don't want to talk to them and exit from meetings when I'm not in the mood to engage. These features help me manage my interactions according to how I feel at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Gather?

I don't like that when someone sends me a Gather link, I can just click it and join without any privacy options. Also, there are some user experience difficulties. And, I find entering OTPs challenging because sometimes they come up as not valid which makes setup quite difficult for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
