Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution for team collaboration, document sharing, and video conferencing services. It integrates well with on-premises video conferencing systems and supports chatting through text messaging and instant messaging."
"It is very easy to jump from one communication channel to another one. It is pretty clear and very easy to do. That is the thing that I like the most from Avaya and their suite."
"Interesting collaboration features."
"I like the share information function."
"When there is a large number of people involved, I can pinpoint a particular person and I can message him in Zoom, rather than messaging everybody involved. I can directly communicate with that person and I find that feature very useful."
"One of the most valuable features is the user interface. With every new update, they introduce new useful features."
"The user interface is simple."
"The most valuable features of Zoom are the screen blur and the background transition, which is great because we are working from home. Without this feature we would not have private meetings, they do not need to see what is happening in our background. The background transition is good with Zoom."
"I'm not a really technologically sophisticated user. From my point of view, if I can use it, it's likely very straightforward."
"It's got a simple, easy-to-understand user interface."
"There is no installation, you can give someone a link to the chat and they can access the chat through the link."
"Some of the most valuable features are the performance and ease of use. Also, since everyone knows about and is familiar with Zoom, you don't need to teach them how to use it."
 

Cons

"There isn't too much information about Avaya solutions and that could be very much improved. If you want some product support, you have to go through a business partner in Latin America and there aren't many partners."
"Avaya IX Meetings' deployment is complex."
"Increase in participant numbers reduces quality of video and sound."
"The installation could be more straightforward. I would like it to work with other meeting software in the next release."
"The only thing that I can't get to work well is putting one of those little fancy wallpaper picture screens behind me during meetings so that I don't show my house or the room I'm attending from. Everyone is basically working remotely at this point. It would help to just have a neutral professional background for meetings that's easy to add."
"The inclusion of some more advanced security features would be an improvement."
"Zoom should improve aspects of its security."
"The video quality of the free version might not be as good as the enterprise edition."
"In general, the price could be a little cheaper."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"The updating feature of Zoom needs to be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see better security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Avaya IX Meetings' licensing costs are monthly."
"I'm using a subscription. The price is reasonable. It costs about $20 a year."
"We purchased a license for Zoom."
"It is an inexpensive product."
"The solution is affordable."
"There is a subscription to use the solution."
"Zoom is free to use."
"I am making yearly payments. So, I am paying 250 USD a year."
