Wave Connect Reviews & Product Details

With so many options for a digital networking companion it is really hard to go wrong with Wave Connect.

The free version has enough features to get people hooked and then when you factor in the cost of pro you very quickly realize there the benefit far out weighs the cost. In this modern era performance is the key to keeping customers and Wave has it locked in. If you have shopped around for a digital business card solution look no further.

I know it will sound corny, but I really don't have any complaints so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like using Wave Connect for its convenience, especially since I don't have to carry around a bunch of business cards anymore. I can easily establish contact information with customers immediately upon meeting them and network with them seamlessly. Being able to start immediate networking is a big plus for me. I also appreciate how easy the initial setup is and being able to pull out my phone, let customers scan a QR code to obtain my business and contact information, and receive theirs in return is super handy.

The connection time could be better, especially when sending SMS for transferring business card information. It seems a bit slow and could use improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to share my contact details with prospective clients. The experience feels modern and simple to use, and it works better for me than traditional business cards. It also integrates with my email provider and works very well on both Samsung and iPhone mobile phones. I haven’t had a chance to use Wave’s customer support yet, because it’s so user-friendly that I was able to handle all the onboarding myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Personally, I don’t really have anything I can say I dislike about Wave Connect. The free version includes most of the features I’m looking for. That said, I do feel the paid version is a little costly, although it seems to be in a similar price range to other digital business cards on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found Wave Connect to be incredibly easy to use, which was a big plus, especially while attending a conference. My colleagues loved how simple it was to share information using it. I was also impressed that it stayed on my lock screen all day. The fact that it's a free tool at the basic level was great, providing a level of polish that was noticeable and commented on by others at the conference. I appreciate the live activities feature and that it saves contacts directly in the app, which adds convenience for networking. Setting it up was quick and hassle-free; I did it in the taxi on the way to the conference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a little more customization at the basic tier level, but it wasn’t a barrier to access. For example, I wish I could have used branded colors for my profile background, but again, not the end of the world for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how simple Wave Connect is to use; I was up and running in less than a few minutes. It didn't fail me during a recent intense two-day event, which was crucial for connecting with new people. I appreciate that it simply works and offers various options to share contacts. The ability to capture context correctly and quickly is great, and I find the offline functionality essential. I value that I can export contacts to bring into my CRM later. The easy setup and the fact that it requires no coding are fantastic, allowing me to go straight to usage and save time and money.

Not built into my contact management system yet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Wave Connect acts as a business card that's easier to keep track of compared to a stack of physical cards, and it's much more portable. I appreciate that it's environmentally friendly and allows me to add more items to my contact page, making business cards feel obsolete. It's also cost-effective and enables me to update my profile easily to ensure my information is accurate. Moreover, even people who don't have Wave Connect can still get my information and vice versa. I enjoy the feature that on the home page, I can add a photo and new information, and there are multiple areas of info I can include. The user ability is good, and overall, it's very handy. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The scan QR code option that shows up on the lock screen of my phone. It is not necessary to unlock my phone to begin the scan process either. I'm still using the free options while I get started in my new business venture. I will try the Pro option that comes with the promotional offer for completing this review and then evaluate further needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only downside is the brief explanation to the people I am connecting with that I use a digital business card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the platform is great. I kept losing old-school business cards and had to keep buying new ones. This absolutely destroys the need for that, but also gives you the flexibility to write the digital business card onto a blank NFC chip card. Best of both worlds.

Onboarding was easy and it integrates nicely into the majority of my needs. The design is clean, and functionality is great; it is responsive and performs well in most situations. The fact that you can use it for free to access their base tier is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, clients who may not be as technical can sometimes accidentaly click off the initial contact exchange form and it closes. They then do not press the exchange contact detail and assume the exchange was successful. There have been a few occasions where I have lost contact because of this. You need to lock the initial exchange pop-up and don't allow users to close it unless they press the confirmation of exchange or close it manually via the button; clicking away should not close it. For me, this is an urgent update that needs to be made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was helpful to create a quick, easy digital card and track interactions from it. However, the prompt asking people to add their details to exchange contact information was a bit too prominent and ended up overshadowing the card details. In some cases, when they close that prompt, they seem to leave the site altogether. If you can improve that part, the rest of the platform feels very useful and easy to use, especially for a free platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t really see anything, from my perspective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Wave Connect at networking events to easily share my contact digitally, which is great for knowing when someone's interacting after meeting them. The biggest help is after an expo with a stack of business cards, I can scan them and have all the contact info not only entered but enriched, which is really cool. It's painless and doesn't need a third-party automation to sync this enriched data with HubSpot. Getting started was easy with the seven-day trial, which lets you experience the robust features like the working scanner. The ease of syncing with HubSpot without requiring a third-party tool and the data enrichment feature are huge. The scanner works so well that it's saved me a bunch of time. I appreciate the personal feel of the emails from Wave Connect. The setup was very easy, making it accessible even for those I teach at business classes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the physical cards should have a lower barrier of entry in terms of pricing. They should be in line with Amazon prices so that people don't just go for the cheaper option and miss out on the robust system of data enrichment and CRM sync. Also, I wish the lag times with the scanner were a little slower, but I guess it's asking a lot considering I don't know what's happening on the back end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
