Pros

I don't have to work for them anymore!

Cons

1. Nothing revolutionary or ground breaking about the product. It's a basic conferencing platform. 2. The product is neither stable or reliable, hence why they have no significant customers or users (up to 80% drop off in usage rates in many cases). Many of the customers they list on their website no longer use the product and have turned to well established alternatives like Zoom or Teams. 3. The lack of reliability is also potentially dangerous for patients. Imagine being a patient on an ambulance with this level of product quality. 4. It's all smoke and mirrors. There is always some great deal over the horizon When you discover its smoke and mirrors and start to ask questions, you'll be shown the door (Just look at the turn over of staff, particularly commercial staff. 5. You get to the point where you just can't bring yourself to lie to potential customers or colleagues because you know the product is rubbish).

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your time at Visionable. Whilst you are correct that there are other free video platforms available, unlike other video platforms in the market, our technology has been specifically designed for healthcare by people with in-depth knowledge of the industry. Our real-time and multi-streaming technology is unique and patented, and it enables critical remote decision-making by clinicians wherever they are located. Like any start-up, our employees often wear many hats, and in the past we didn’t always prioritise customer account management as much as we should have, and this affected our customer retention. Since hiring a Chief Commercial Officer earlier this year, he has introduced more robust account management processes and hired a very experienced Customer Success Manager. Our leadership team regularly review usage rates, as well as customer feedback and support tickets so we have full visibility of customer concerns. I’m sorry to hear you didn’t feel confident about our product and it’s reliability. As our employees are often testing beta versions of the software, it’s true that we sometimes have reliability issues with our internal meetings. This allows us to iron out problems before software updates go live for customers. Many businesses faced a higher than usual turnover rate in the last 12 months which has been widely publicised as ‘the Great Resignation’. That being said, we are now seeing a decrease in voluntary turnover in line with the global decline which is great news! It’s tough working for a start up business, and some people don’t thrive in an environment where the sales cycle is particularly long, and each sale is complex due to the fact that we are selling bespoke solutions, which require clients to transform the way that they work. Nevertheless, our more experienced, longer-serving sales team continue to thrive and forge their way through this complexity. Having said that, there are always things we can do better and we are keen to learn from your feedback. If you would be open to sharing more details about your specific concerns about our product reliability, that would be much appreciated. Please feel free to email people@visionable.com where one of my team would be happy to arrange some time for us to speak.

Pros

Working with socially important issues

Cons

No product, no customers, no leadership, no strategy, no real technological advantage over Teams or Zoom.

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your time at Visionable. I’m really sorry to hear you had such a negative experience, that’s certainly never our intent! We take your feedback on board regarding a lack of vision. We will include this in our next employee engagement survey to understand whether this view is shared by other employees, and to seek their input on where we can improve our comms of company strategy. You say that people who know what they are doing, won’t do well here. We pride ourselves in our ability to hire some vastly experienced people, many of whom have and continue to thrive at Visionable. We also are in the process of building career paths for people with promise, as a start-up, it is a work in progress but we believe these are positive steps in the right direction. Whilst you are correct that there are other free video platforms available, unlike other video platforms in the market, our technology has been specifically designed for healthcare by people with in-depth knowledge of the industry. Our real-time and multi-streaming technology is unique and patented, and it enables critical remote decision-making by clinicians wherever they are located. Many businesses have faced a higher than usual turnover rate in the last 6-12 months which has been widely publicised as ‘the Great Resignation’. That being said, we are now seeing a decrease in voluntary turnover in line with the global decline which is great news! We have been taking steps to ensure our Values are better understood as they should be truly at the heart of everything we do. Having said that, there are always things we can do better and we are keen to learn from your feedback. If you would be open to sharing more details about your experience with our culture and Values, as well as providing more detail about your statement about leaders, that would be much appreciated. Please feel free to email people@visionable.com where one of my team would be happy to arrange some time for us to speak.

Pros

None, everything based on a flawed, failed product propped up by a deluded exec team

Cons

See pros, pretty much everything is a con in the literal sense, any pandemic based business drummed up by a panicked NHS has seen the light and jumped ship
