I love how Gather solves the problem of feeling disconnected when working remotely, bringing back a sense of team interactions similar to a physical office. The customizable aspect is a big standout for me. I appreciate the ease of grabbing a side chat in a separate quiet space without setting up a formal meeting room. It's great that it tailors the experience to the interaction I'm trying to have, whether a casual chat or a more formal meeting with presentations. The setup was relatively straightforward, and the setup team was helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think sometimes it’s a bit difficult for new users to navigate and not the most intuitive layout. Although anybody who’s used it more than a couple of times seems to get up to speed. Also when we have a higher number of people in a meeting then it can become a bit laggy. I imagine that’s down to bandwidth but it can be distracting on a meeting when the video or sound are lagging.

I really like the playful interface of Gather, which allows us to decorate the virtual office according to the dates of the year, bringing a bit more personality and less rigidity to the work environment. This, to me, is very beautiful and brings a certain lightness, even though some people find it silly. However, I find this feature charming and valuable. Moreover, the new version of Gather has significantly improved the chat, making communication much easier, and I really value this ease of being able to hold video meetings simply and quickly. The AI note-taking tool is also extremely valuable for us. Before, we needed to leave Gather and use another platform like Google Meet to save our meeting notes, but now we can do everything directly in Gather, which was a crucial point for us to continue using it and even consider paying more to maintain the subscription, especially considering that we are a small team. These improvements make Gather very valuable and useful for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel that the new version of Gather has fewer options for seasonal decoration, which is something we found fun and useful for breaking the ice in meetings. The Christmas decorations, for example, were light ways to start conversations and create a more relaxed environment, and this seems less evident now. Another issue is the limited integration with other tools we use. We use Asana and it would be very advantageous for our team to have better integration of Gather with Asana, or even with ClickUp, as we are considering migrating to this platform as well. Additionally, when using the integration with Google Drive, I noticed that it was extremely slow, which ended up bothering me. Finally, the issue of AI is also not entirely clear to me, as I haven't tested it extensively, but I'm unsure about how efficient it really is in the available integrations.

I love the unique art style of Gather, which adds a distinct and enjoyable aesthetic to the virtual workspace. The feature where the camera pops up for a person you walk by significantly enhances the feeling of human connection, making interactions feel more personal and engaging. Additionally, the immersive maps contribute to a sense of being in an actual office, despite working remotely. Real-time interaction with avatars as they move and interact in the virtual space strengthens my sense of connectedness with colleagues, replicating an office environment remarkably well. I also appreciate the quick initial setup process, which allows me to start using Gather with minimal hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that using Gather requires a second monitor to maintain the immersion, which can be inconvenient for those who don't have an additional screen. It would be more efficient if a widget or desktop pop-up allowed me to stay connected to the virtual office in the background while working on other tasks. Additionally, the public maps feel a bit empty at the moment. Increasing the user base and having modded and verified servers would enhance the experience significantly.

I use Gather for virtual meetings and team collaboration in a fun and interactive workspace. I like the interactive workspace and how it makes meetings feel more natural and engaging. The interactive rooms improve team collaboration experience. Gather easily fits into our existing workflow and tools and it was easy to get started without much setup time.

Gather can feel distracting for new users, and performance may lag in larger or complex spaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the nudging feature and interactive maps in Gather. Virtual maps make it fun to use with notice boards, conference rooms, and solo tables, offering a completely different experience from Zoom or Google Meet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the network issues and load delays frustrating. It takes too much time to load sometimes, while Google Meet works for me on slow internet too. The noise reduction efficiency could also be better. Initially, it was quite confusing how tables, rooms, and characters worked, but it didn't take much time to get used to it.

I find Gather to be an amazing tool because it feels like a game but also serves as a platform for meetings. It works seamlessly across Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, and the web, making it highly accessible. I appreciate its cool interactive features, which make meetings enjoyable and fully engaging, effectively transforming dull client meetings into fun experiences. The integration with Google Calendar makes it incredibly easy to schedule new meetings, which is a huge plus for efficiency. Moreover, Gather is remarkably easy to set up and use, which means anyone in my team can adopt it without a learning curve. It truly represents a unique approach to interaction and collaboration that I've never seen before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that the price of Gather is a bit high for us. While I think it could be a worthwhile investment for a large company, for us, the cost is on the steeper side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's like a real office but in Pokemon-Style :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only nice add on features, like more actions to do with stuff, like in Pokemon or so xD

And define a sound or notifications if someone performce an interaction in the office, like rang the sales-bell.

Define a sound that everyone in a specific meeting-room can hear if a specific person enters the room is not possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve tried everything - Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, Discord - nothing felt like an actual office. Gather did.

It’s not just for meetings. It feels like walking into your office - you see people, move around, tap someone on the shoulder (virtually), say “got a minute?” and start jamming on ideas.

My favourite thing? The inbuilt whiteboard.

You don’t have to open Miro or any link - just walk to a whiteboard in the space and start drawing. Super natural.

And with 2.0 , the new version, a lot has levelled up

Messaging inside Gather is now proper, almost don’t need Slack there

Google Calendar + meeting setup is smooth

Audio zones, voice settings, shortcuts - all work better

Office spaces feel more custom, more alive Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I really want back - in the old days, Gather was free for teams under 10 members. That’s exactly how I started using it. Played around, loved it, then got on billing happily.

Would love if they keep it that way - let early teams, founders, small startups try it without worrying about paying on Day 1. That’s how fans are created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the ease that Gather provides in bringing the whole team together, even though we are spread across different states. It allows us to be close, as if we were in the same work environment. I love how Gather has helped improve our performance, as it has made our work agile and efficient. It was also very easy to set up, which is a big plus. All the microphone, video, and screen sharing parts are intuitive, and calling people for meetings is extremely smooth. Gather solves many of our problems quickly and allows us, when facing system difficulties, to call the developers for an instant meeting, share the screen, show the problem, and solve it on the spot. The chat, file sending, and meeting room functionalities are extremely useful and well implemented, which contributes to a practical and efficient user experience. I add to this the agility, practicality, efficiency, and transparency that Gather offers, factors that would definitely make me choose it again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
