Pros and cons

My clients - universally - love it. It does require more planning than a typical meeting but the investment is handsomely rewarded by vastly more productive and effective meetings.
MeetingSphere is very friendly and capable -- and incredibly affordable.
Extremely affordable and supports all types of meeting facilitation such as same-time/same-place, same-time/different-place and asynchronous.
Once you've tried it you'll get very frustrated when taking part in old fashion meetings. So, if you try it you should go all the way and never look back again.
There are so many people in public sector who sees the benefits of this tool but they hesitate since the system texts are in either English or German.

Full-function tool for facilitators

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

MSp is a full-function tool for any process facilitator. It is very powerful for building and manipulating lists of data. Ideas can be easily generated, organized, categorized and prioritized. A must-have for facilitating focus groups, action-planning sessions, requirements analysis, strategic planning workshops, etc. A key feature is that all input is anonymous ... participants can enter their ideas with confidence.

Cons

There is quite a learning curve to this tool. Some education / tips-and-hints are needed.

MeetingSphere Unlocks the Power of People - It's truely demoCreative!

Reviewed 7 years ago

I have been using MeetingSphere from the beginning and also used the predesessor SmartSpeed, so in total 7-8 years. Before this I used ThinkTank from GroupSystems which I abandoned for abvious reasons. MeetingSphere has allowed me to deliver work processes to a fraction of the time and cost compared to traditional consulting. In 2013 I was awarded "Security Consultant of the Year" by the Swedish security...

Pros

I don't have to train any participants before they take part in sessions. The GUI is so intuitive. The other thing is the ability to participate anonymously, which then totally removes political and hierarchical influence on group contributions.

Cons

I would like to have the administration GUI in Swedish. There are so many people in public sector who sees the benefits of this tool but they hesitate since the system texts are in either English or German. The instructions that I write for participants I write but the system-generated texts and the texts in the GUI has to be able to localize to other languages than English and German.

Why aren't more people using this?

Reviewed 7 years ago

I have been using MeetingSphere for 4 years. My clients - universally - love it. It does require more planning than a typical meeting but the investment is handsomely rewarded by vastly more productive and effective meetings.

Pros

Simple, easy to use, flexible for just about any situation that requires smart group collaboration. It is easy and intuitive to use. I use both the SaaS and local server versions - they provide great flexibility.

Cons

The report generator captures everything but is a little clunky - I understand that this feature is being redeveloped. I'd also like automatic notification of surveys completed (similar to SurveyMonkey) but this is a very minor issue.

A real workhorse tool

Reviewed 7 years ago

I used MeetingSphere to crowdsource information about topics, ideation for problem solving, Innovation tools, and summary reports on a regular basis to move project teams toward their deadlines. Except for an initial kickoff that might be an on-site event, most of the work is done by dispersed employees in different time zones. We would keep the MSp work site open for asynchronous work. As a facilitator,...

Pros

Speedy data crunching and summary reports.

Cons

I wish a conference call feature was part of the software.

MeetingSphere changes how companies are making decisions

Reviewed 7 years ago

I have been using MeetingSphere for over 5 years now and have been using online collaborative since the late 1980s. I have facilitated thousands of sessions and have trained hundreds of students in several types of online collaboration software. MeetingSphere has the most robust set of meeting tools that allows anonymity throughout its divergent (brainstorming), convergent (categorizing) and rating (Likert, Scale from 1 to 10, Multiple Choice, Allocation and Rank Order) activities.

Pros

Extremely affordable and supports all types of meeting facilitation such as same-time/same-place, same-time/different-place and asynchronous.

Cons

It takes a little time to learn all the advanced features and functions but it well worth the time spent.

MSp Review for Instructional Design

Reviewed 7 years ago

We built full curriculu for online courses on MSp. By breaking down each module into a series of questions and having a team of developers, SME's, instructional designers, project manager, and testers we were able to build course, after course. Came back to add quizzes, etc.

Pros

I like the graphics, reporting tool, ease of viewing comments.

Cons

It was a little clunky....but kinks were being worked out.

The best support for your online workshops

Reviewed 7 years ago

I am a group facilitator and use Group Decision Support tools in consultancy projects with governments and both private and not for profit organizations.

Pros

It is very comprehensive in terms of the group processes it supports and the instant reporting feature.

Cons

It does not include audio or video conference. My firm recommends a combination of Zoom and MeetingSphere you can check our website for more information on our next scheduled webinars: www.groupvision.com/meetingsphere

Reviewed 9 years ago

This is great software. Built like a swiss watch - it works very well and gets the job done. Easy to learn and use. You can build templates and re-use processes - even transfer activities from one meeting to another. The listing here is incomplete - the software now has a great slide show capability (with collaborative commenting), Notepad, Action Tracking, and an activity called Discussion that allows for multiple discussions at the same time. I use this software from the cloud but I have also purchased one of their "lunchbox" size servers and use it stand-alone. They are always adding new features. The pricing model is the best I have seen.
