Easy setup and an a la carte pricing model
Our team produces white-glove events. Our producers and event specialists use the solution for private events, meetings, and some public events.  The solution works well with third-party integrations.  The solution needs a more modern interface. One of our biggest complaints is that we don't have…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Friendly user interface and simple navigation."
"The solution works well with third-party integrations."
"The biggest advantage with Zoom, compared to other similar products, is the simplicity."
"Zoom has good integration and allows users to adjust the video image, other solutions I have used do not have this feature."
"The user interface is simple."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is easy to use and loads up documents for sharing."
"It's not a big deal to set up a meeting."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
 

Cons

"Bandwidth optimization could be increased."
"The solution needs a more modern interface."
"Zoom also has an issue with logins. For some reason, especially with institutional accounts, it is common to get kicked out and verification processes don't work all the time."
"The privacy settings need to be more apparent, otherwise anyone can wander into meeting rooms and disrupt them."
"They could improve security more."
"The recording capabilities may not be as good as WebEx, however, I can't be sure about that just yet."
"Excessive software updates can sometimes disrupt my experience."
"I'd like to see more integration with Google Calendaring. When meetings are scheduled they are added into a Google Calendar. For example, if I am driving my car there are often times I have to pull off the road to join into a meeting as opposed to being able to click the link and have it startup. Sometimes I can do that, sometimes I can't, it all depends on how the meeting was generated initially."
"If anything, the updates could be less frequent."
"The cost should be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid $1,800 for five webinars, which is the standard fee. If you require support there is a $300 additional fee, extra attendees is an additional fee, integration is an additional fee, etc. All these extras could add on another $2,500 which was not in our budget."
"The pricing is too high. The cost of the license could be cheaper."
"Zoom is free to use."
"There is a free version of Zoom which allows you a certain limited amount of time usage and there is a corporate version of the solution where you have to pay."
"I use Zoom's free version."
"The annual price of approximately $200 for the solution is reasonable."
"There are no licensing fees required."
"There is a free version available with time limits."
"The solution's pricing is good."

LucidChart vs LucidSpark for brainstorming sessions over Zoom

They use a licensing model based on a per-user basis for enterprise rather than per version or end device. For example, one user logging in from a handset can also log in from a phone, and it's sti...
