You feel like you are playing Polly Pockets with your colleges **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Fernando M. | Head of Program Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2022 **What do you like best about Sococo?** A good substitute for the in-person office experience. You can have specific rooms and floors for different teams, and you can use it for quick and easy communication with 1 person or multiple team members. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** Sometimes people are not necessarily paying attention to the platform. Some other colleges will not be as engaged in the gamified version of the office experience. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Great tool for creating the office culture lacking in remote working spaces. Provides an easy-to-use communication platform for individuals and teams. Makes the remote work experience more enjoyable and fun! ### 2. In-office feel, out of the office **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Christine M. | Project manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2022 **What do you like best about Sococo?** The most helpful thing about Sococo is that it allows me to feel like I am in-office with my remote colleagues, even though we all work from different locations. I enjoy being able to customize floorplans of the virtual office space and use it as a real office with rooms that serve different purposes. Online status, notification, and meeting tools help make the workday have a more personal feel. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** The least helpful thing about Sococo is that guests sometimes have difficulty accessing the platform and are typically not familiar with using it. The zoom-integration feature does allow guests to feel more comfortable. We do also use Microsoft Teams, which is sometimes more comfortable for guests. **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** I would recommend giving Sococo a try for a true virtual office feel to your remote workday. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sococo allows my co-workers and me to collaborate on projects through accessible and quick communication, file sharing and virtual meetings. The many communication options fit any work style and schedule to ensure team success with deliverables and goals. ### 3. Great tool if you a home office **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rafael R. | Senior Salesforce Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 05, 2022 **What do you like best about Sococo?** I work remotely and manage a Team, so we have a sense of being physically in an office. It is easy to check when someone is available/busy/away—also, it's an excellent tool for a quick chat or sharing the screen. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** Sometimes the audio part does not work correctly. It is necessary to leave the room and know again. It may be some AWS issue that has been happening in the past month. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can connect with Slack, which is a great advantage. Also, the company employees have a sense of being in the office, and we can visualize in real-time what is happening in the company. ### 4.

Great Tool for Virtual Workspaces with Its Quarks **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2021 **What do you like best about Sococo?** Sococo was an awesome tool for Virtual Workspaces. I was able to easily meet and hang out with teammates while having that office feel to it. We had a lot of fun being able to set up different rooms for different teams. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** When we were using Sococo, we ran into several technical issues and bugs. There would be times where audio or visual would not work. Sometimes the screen share would not work properly. Hopefully they have taken some time to improve those capabilities. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used sococo to be able to meet virtually with teams while coworkers were located throughout the world. We were able to create a virtual office environment just as if we were to be meeting in person. ### 7.

The most modern platform to promote group collaboration in your company. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 03, 2020 **What do you like best about Sococo?** Sococo is a remote platform that can help increase labor productivity in companies dramatically, I love the software for how easy it is to use, great interface design and above all its functionality. Its cost is quite affordable compared to many other alternatives, its availability is excellent as it has versions available for Android, Windows, iPhone, Mac, among others which is really convenient to access the platform from any device. The experience that is obtained when working with this product is really good. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** Sometimes the software can become unstable, especially in video conferencing, since there are delays in the audio and video which generates great discomfort, also lacks the ability to customize for example in the chat, a great discomfort that generates me sococo is that this platform is very limited to enter large numbers of people in a single virtual room, which can sometimes generate some problems. **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** Sococo is a very suitable platform for small and medium sized teams who want to increase communication and collaboration at work, the service is very easy to use, it is very modern and its price is quite profitable for many, it really is a software with wide benefits, it is totally modern which makes this service ideal for your business needs. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sococo is a platform that has allowed us to greatly improve work collaboration and communication, the software allows us to work with much more synchronization than in previous years, its ease of use allows all our workers to work with high agility, today the service has become a very important tool for our entire company, we have obtained the improvement we wanted from the beginning and I believe that while its operation remains good we will continue working with this platform as our main tool for work communication. ### 9.

Choose greater comfort and ease of communication with Sococo. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tom J. | RPA Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2020 **What do you like best about Sococo?** I highlight the operation of Sococo as it is a fairly interpretive and easy to use conference calling software, it does not need formal invitations like a physical interaction conference room, it maintains excellent call quality for a better flow of ideas when speaking , and highly reliable, which is one of the central points that I like the most and attracts attention, without excluding what it offers, virtual rooms and instant chat in real time. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** The current cost of subscribing to the application is not justified, since it is not cheap, this implies that only high-level companies can maintain this software monthly for their needs, excluding small-scale companies, since they do not, paying the high budget, this is the only reason why many low-level organizations have stopped using Sococo, highlighting that video quality can sometimes be a challenge, when some user shares their screen or camera. **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** This software for conference calls is recommended, mainly for companies that need to carry out a massive communication on a daily basis, either for business or to discuss future projects for the daily growth of the company in general, more than anything essential for organizations medium and small categories, to ensure better performance, including excellent communication in terms of working from offices or just exercising at home. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sococo is widely used in our company in the field of development, my department in the company uses it mainly for meetings with people who work remotely, this software allows us to create virtual conference rooms for better interaction with our partners or clients, especially When not all of us are physically present at the corporate headquarters, it is surprising the ability to have our own digital office that allows us to have a call between executives to discuss various projects. ### 11. Your Own Virtual Office Space **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alec W. | Jr. Consultant - Salesforce Business Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2020 **What do you like best about Sococo?** The best part of Sococo is the fact that you can see what everyone is up to. Not in the overbearing micro-managing sense, but who is collaborating on what. Sococo gives you your own office island. Use it how you want. Set up personal office spaces for everyone. Create specific brainstorming rooms. Include a conference room for anything you want. Instead of requiring everyone join a Teams meeting that you may miss the notification on, set the location to the Conference Room. You won't miss a meeting because you will notice everyone else is in the conference room. Just like in the office! **What do you dislike about Sococo?** The new pricing model and data caps have caused Sococo to become expensive. You now get a limit on how much voice and video time used per person. If you go over that, you have to pay more. The desktop app seems to have bugs. Whenever there is an update, the desktop app seems to get buggy, but the website version tends to operate more smoothly. The most common issues are you mic not responding. Typically, refreshing the app or website works its magic, but there are times when it doesn't. Typically immediately after a software update. **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** Sococo does a really good job at what they are trying to do, it just may not be the cheapest product on the market depending on your data usage. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sococo makes working remote feel less remote. You feel more connected with your teammates and enhances collaboration. ### 12. You can actively see who's online **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nurí P. | Senior UX, Graphic, & Production Designer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 19, 2020 ### 13. Works great. My whole company uses it. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew F. | VP of Products, Computer Software, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2019 **What do you like best about Sococo?** I can see who is working with whom, who is available, I can pop in on conversations, I can summon people into a conversation. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** I dislike the Slack integration because (on Mac OS) new messages on Slack cause the Sococo icon to bounce up and down annoyingly even though I have notifications turned off. I really don't get any value out of the Slack integration because I can just open and use Slack directly. Slack's chat interface is better than Sococo's. I once disabled the Slack integration but both Sococo and my colleagues kept bugging me to enable the integration. **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** Make it mandatory for whatever your scope is (team, org, company). **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Increasing collaboration. Everyone is just there, online, in the virtual office. I can grab someone quickly, effortlessly. ### 14.

People at different locations can work as a real team real time as they were at the same physical office. This is really great and unique. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** It is still missing a strong API platform integration. I believe that is in the roadmap and it will be built in a very short time. Sococo makes sense a lot if integrated with a workflow engine as it is with Slack and Skype for business today. Maybe **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Easy to communicate with peers , co-workers and clients Easy to collaborate. We solved the communication issue and specially when people are in different locations. ### 18.

Sococo Boosts Collaboration for Distributed Teams **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Harmony J. | Marketing Manager, Automation/Email, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2017 **What do you like best about Sococo?** Sococo helped our distributed team become increasingly transparent with each other. I love walking in on conversations I would have missed if we were using another tool that separates your experiences in to chat-like rooms. Instead, our team works together in our own room, having conversations as if we were together in person. Many a time have I dropped in on a conversation where I had the exact information other teammates needed, but they didn't know to ask. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** Some people have a hard time with the audio options, this reduced adoption by others in my company. **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** It is great for getting distributed teams to have better conversations outside of email and text formats, however it will not help with task management. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** A more personal experience with our distributed team members. We've been able to connect personally as a team and become a strong team because of Sococo. It's as close to being in person as you can get. ### 25. Making distributed work possible **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Roxi O. | Director, Marketing, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 19, 2017 **What do you like best about Sococo?** Sococo makes it so easy to jump in and out offices with coworkers, start conversations, catch up and connect with team mates! It makes working together easy, sharing even easier and allows our distributed team of 6 to successfully accomplish our work- every single day. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** The desktop version can be buggy if there are too many people in a meeting and you are sharing screens, this can cause Sococo to freeze - requiring a restart. It does not happen enough to complain about though. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are a distributed Agile marketing team of 6, we run our team using scrum and value face to face communication and collaboration. Without Sococo none of this interaction would be possible. Working on creative, content and integrated campaigns without the input of each team member would limit our opportunities for success - Sococo helps us achieve our goals. ### 26. Great fir remote teams **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jessica D. | Self Employed, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 23, 2018 **What do you like best about Sococo?** The ability to see the entire team in one place visually is great! It also brings our remote team together more, and makes them feel like they are actually part of the team. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** The pricing. We have a large team of independent contractors, and are a small company. However, we would have to pay for a large plan with all those users, and it's just way above our price range to let everyone use it. **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** It's great, if you can afford it. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Team communications, especially across distance with remote employees. ### 27. Good idea with some functionality issues **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Human Resources | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2017 **What do you like best about Sococo?** I enjoy being able to see when my fellow co-workers are "in office." This is something really hard to achieve in a remote environment and the tool can only work as well as the person on the other end using it. However, it does give a good sense of when people are reachable, or unavailable. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** I didn't really like the slack integration - I just felt like it wasn't necessary. Maybe that was just something my company decided on, but at in the way that my team uses it, it was just another thing to have to download. I also have pretty routine mic and sound issues. It seems like the platform uses too much bandwidth. **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** It's a nice resource to connect a remote team. I wish that the company I freelance with used it also. It makes it easier to see if people are actively engaged in work. Whereas right now, we only see when people are in Slack, which I think can be a bit misleading. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** I like being able to quickly communicate and connect with colleagues. Fortunately, most things that I work on are not too time sensitive, but for the rare occasion that quickness counts - it's invaluable to see which colleagues I can connect with quickly to get the answers that I need as fast as possible. ### 28. Outstanding Collaborative Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kieran G. | CEO / Founder, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 19, 2017 **What do you like best about Sococo?** Our team loves the ease of connecting and seeing who is available to work with instantly. The service is really stable from screen share to audio channels **What do you dislike about Sococo?** We've used Sococo for awhile, in the past we had some issues with connectivity, but they've resolved it. Adding others to the network was also a problem on the old desktop version, but they fixed that as well going with a web based solution. Honestly, no complaints. **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** We aren't sure about very large scale implementations, but for a user base of 10-25 it has worked very well for us. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Collaboration and more collaboration. Our team needs to make a million decisions a day on in depth software designs for our clients. Our developers live in a war room it feels like for part of the week before splitting off to work in isolation with sporadic contact. Our flowing and changing styles of communications are all accommodated for using this tool. ### 29. Use sococo **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 27, 2018 **What do you like best about Sococo?** Easy meeting, can see who is online and what they are doing. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** Connection issues, and sometimes sounds would come out to my speaker instead of head phones **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** My team is mostly virtual, so easy team meeting ### 30. The virtual equivalent of cube mates **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hanna G. | Digital Marketing Manager, Professional Training & Coaching, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2017 **What do you like best about Sococo?** I love the fact that I can hear other people's conversations without having been formally invited into a meeting, just like you would in a real office. There have been numerous times we have caught someone else's conversation and heard information that saved us from doubling work. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** Sometimes technical issues e.g. mics don't work. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to work across the country from home with the rest of my team. We're a very collaborative team and I can't image being able to work as closely together as we do without this tool. ### 31. Its cool and functions well, but didn’t add a ton of value. **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 16, 2018 **What do you like best about Sococo?** Nice to be able to share multiple screens and bounce back and forth. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** Seemed to take up a ton of my ram to keep open all day. I think the new solution fixed that some. **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** It was a popular to use for a bit but users in some parts of the org seem to find it easier to just schedule in skype for business now. It needs a defined use case and a good rollout with communicated purpose. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Group virtual meetings. Allowed longer meetings to work in a virtual environment. ### 32. No-frills virtual office space. **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Fine Art | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2017 **What do you like best about Sococo?** Sococo is inherently fun. On a practical level, it gets the job done, allowing voice, chat or video communications. Playful features like choosing a colour for your avatar, "knocking" to join a meeting, or "hanging out" by a pixelated water cooler are whimsical and enjoyable. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** When it's time to get to work, the actual function of Sococo doesn't feel up to par. Only a single video can be seen full size at anytime and the thumbnail view is very small. The video quality is poor and is not a reflection of your internet service- It's Sococo. **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** Sococo is fine, but other services are better. Keep looking. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sococo is youthful and lighthearted in nature, offering a change of pace from your average work environment. It's enjoyable to see others working on the same floor, as a reminder that you're not as alone as you might feel being remote. ### 33.

It's nice to have the avatarts **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 20, 2017 **What do you like best about Sococo?** The avatars are a good way to see what's going on in the office. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** The technology itself can be a bit glitchy and crash at times. So it's not the most reliable platform to communicate on. **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** It can be good depending on your needs. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is a good way to communicate with remote people. It have realized it's a good way to chat with others. , ### 37. It's like you are in a real office **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Amine K. | Designer, Graphic Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 10, 2017 **What do you like best about Sococo?** It's amazing to feel like you are working with your team in the same place like if you are in a real office! **What do you dislike about Sococo?** I actually didn't find anything I dislike so far! **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** The best solution for remote working. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Working with my team from anywhere in the world. ### 38. Innovative Virtual Office Tool Working Wonders **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tyler R. | Support Manager, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2016 **What do you like best about Sococo?** It's a fantastic concept realized in both a professional and cute way. It takes companies where telecommuting is the norm and establishes a virtual work environment that is very functional. Screensharing, chatting and audio conferences work immaculately whereas Skype, ScreenConnect and other resources we've tried get bogged down when hitting a certain capacity. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** There's really isn't much that I dislike. I suppose it would be nice if there were more regular updates and enhancements to the software but, then again, I don't have any enhancement requests for them - they've already got a well-working product so why fix what isn't broken, I suppose. **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** Give the free trial a go and invite a few colleagues from work to try it out. It's fun from the first time you use it and so easy to learn. Also, keep in mind that it does what it sets out to do and does it well - it's not a delphic knife of a tool but it's not trying to be either. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Desktop sharing, audio conferencing, inter-office instant messaging. ### 39. A bit slow to provide needed features, but I can't let Sococo go... **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tyler B. | Web Software Developer, Internet, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 07, 2016 **What do you like best about Sococo?** At first glance, Sococo seems to be a rather pointless and quirky telecommunications app. "Oh, that's pretty corny," you'll say. "Why should I pay to be a colored marble in a cheesy picture of an office? Why wouldn't I just stick to Skype/Google Hangouts, which are free?" I've been using it at my company for about 2 years now, and I love the virtual office. It really adds something to the workday, especially when things are slow. It just feels more casual than the alternatives, and for me that casual vibe makes a big difference. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** Sococo's software isn't perfect, and the company has always been a bit slow to respond to important requests. I made a request to their support team about a year or so ago to make the text in the chat window more readable in the native client, and they finally got around to fixing it just recently with their new version of Sococo, and they took away a lot of really important features, too. There's no longer a keyboard shortcut for turning the mic on and off, and the icon at the top doesn't show you if your mic is on or off, either. So you have to constantly switch back to Sococo if you're having a conversation while on the job. Very inconvenient. **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** Use the Classic native client. The new client isn't nearly as good! **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sococo makes me feel like I am in the office, even though my team is 100% remote. ### 40. Almost like global team is together **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sabrina W. | Technical Product Manager, Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 08, 2016 **What do you like best about Sococo?** In person feel for global teams in many locations **What do you dislike about Sococo?** Would prefer male or female icons or actual photos instead of avatars **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Ease of communication, video and voice chat in groups ### 41. Sococo connects you to your people! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Behavior Change I. | Internships, Health, Wellness and Fitness, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2016 **What do you like best about Sococo?** Working from home can sometimes be an isolating experience and can make you feel disconnected from the rest of your team. When working remotely or in the office, I use Sococo regularly to collaborate with our team all over the nation! I love that I can jump into a colleagues office, knock on my supervisor's door to ask a question and collaborate in team meetings with large groups! The screen sharing function is extremely helpful and the Sococo support team is always there to help! **What do you dislike about Sococo?** The platform itself is always being improved upon and as it has gone through some recent changes there can be glitches from time to time that requires that you restart your browser or refresh Sococo to restore functionality. Anytime this has happened, the team at Sococo has been responsive and helpful!! **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** Give it a free trial! **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** As a quickly growing nationwide start-up many of our employees work from home and we are relatively spread out across the country. Sococo has brought us together as a team and a community and we have realized who close we really are to each other -- literally one mouse click away! ### 42. A great way to bring distributed teams together **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jeremy L. | Photographer, Photography, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 26, 2016 **What do you like best about Sococo?** I enjoyed having individual rooms. You would imagine it would be superficial, but it actually bolstered a sense of privacy and community. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** They split the web and desktop clients; we were running two separate offices that couldn't be consolidated. Frustrating. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** We had a distributed team, so this allowed us to have easy, regular meetings together and always be within reach. ### 43. A fun and easy way to collaborate virtually **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Josh R. | Director of Products, Computer Software, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2015 **What do you like best about Sococo?** The ability to quickly jump into a virtual office to meet with one or multiple co-workers is very valuable. Those ad-hoc meetings where you just need to discuss something quickly don't always require a formal calendar invite. Being able to just knock on somebody's door (or pop right in, if that's how you roll) allows virtual teams to have the same communications capabilities as physical teams. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** Sococo often has problems with bandwidth overload - too many people in a room or too much screensharing or video streaming will bring Sococo to its knees. Also, the Mac OS version lacks some of the features of the Windows product (people search, for example) which can be pretty frustrating for companies like ours who use both operating systems. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** As our company grows and teams become more dispersed throughout the country, we needed a tool that would help facilitate team communication. This has allowed our virtual employees to feel much more connected to the team at HQ. ### 44. Distributed workforce virtual office **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jay K. | VP - Operations, Marketing and Advertising, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2014 **What do you like best about Sococo?** Sococo has enabled us to level up the amount of collaboration on our team. We are a distributed workforce working from remote locations and Sococo gives the illusion that we are all working in the same physical office. I like the ability to pop into someone's office to get a quick answer for a question or to provide real-time feedback on a project. Team meetings in the virtual conference rooms are awesome and the screen share capabilities are pretty robust. It is amazing that with the click of a button, I can be talking with a co-worker across the country, either on a VOIP or via a video chat. **What do you dislike about Sococo?** I wouldn't say that I *dislike* anything about this platform, however there are a few improvements that I would certainly recommend. It would be nice to have "white boards" in each office where notes can be left from a meeting that anyone can view. I would also like the ability to share whatever music I am playing with the team or in my office. I would like to see the quality of the video feeds increase to HD and give more controls over viewing other video feeds (i.e. like GoToMeeting controls). **Recommendations to others considering Sococo:** If you have a virtual workforce, or even virtual teams working in different locations, then Sococo would be a fantastic tool for you. This tool has revolutionized the way that our team interacts and is used daily by all team members. **What problems is Sococo solving and how is that benefiting you?** Because we are a virtual company with employees that work in multiple different states, some employees may not feel connected to the rest of the group. This platform creates a sense of community amongst our employees who only meet in-person a few times each year, ensuring that everyone knows that they are part of bigger team. We are also solving the problem of working on projects together despite the fact that our physical offices are in many different locations. We have received the benefit of quicker feedback and the ability to iterate prototypes of projects faster. ## Sococo Discussions - [How do you use Sococo?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-do-you-use-sococo) - [How long is Sococo free trial?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-long-is-sococo-free-trial) - [Where is sococo from?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/where-is-sococo-from) - [What does Sococo do?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-does-sococo-do) - [View Sococo pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/sococo/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-14+01%3A07%3A15+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=f6950ad6-5a28-4ab0-a94b-fcfbb4523581&secure%5Btoken%5D=5d433380bd24de39fb6a668da559fba43c6df34f6410b66c561e4b890ba70f42&format=llm_user) ## Sococo Features **Communication** - Status Updates - Instant Messaging - Activity Feed - Notifications - Comments and Voting - Discussions - User Directory - Online Status of Coworkers **Visual Tools** - Whiteboarding - Annotations - Graphing - Templates **Office Customization** - Office Decor - Customized Floor Plans - Personal Offices **Content Management** - File Sharing - Document Collaboration - Version Control - Tagging - Knowledge Base - Surveys **Guest Tools** - Virtual Receptionist - External Video Conferencing - Guest Links **Productivity Tools** - Task Management - Calendar - Search - Mobile - Multi-Language Support **Collaboration Tools** - Simultaneous Screen Sharing - Document Sharing - Availability Status - Mobile Application **Administration** - Moderation - User, Role, and Access Management - Performance and Reliability **Agentic AI - Virtual Workspaces** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning ## Top Sococo Alternatives - [NexGen Virtual Office](https://www.g2.com/products/nexgen-virtual-office/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (95 reviews) - [Wurkr](https://www.g2.com/products/wurkr/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (22 reviews) - [Gather](https://www.g2.com/products/gather-town-gather/reviews) - 4.8/5.0 (316 reviews)
