Blackboard Collaborate vs Zoom comparison

"The solution allows me to connect and collaborate with my classes."

"One of the features that people enjoy is the whiteboard, providing opportunities for academics to present content and for students to contribute. The platform also allows for the creating of different rooms, enabling large classes to break into smaller groups for discussions. Students can then return to the main classroom to share their opinions. It integrates with LMS."

"Document loading and annotation."

"Zoom has a variety of functions, including setting up virtual offices and virtual office hours. It's a stable and scalable platform with good chat support."

"The grid view option is great, as you get to see everyone who is in the video conference at the same time."

"You can have multiple connections so that everybody can interact. You can change your background. If you're in your home and you don't want people to know what it looks like, you can pretty much change the background to any background that you want."

"The most valuable features of Zoom are voice and camera clarity. The time latency of the response is good. The facility to view all the participants who are online is a benefit. In most of the other similar solutions, they too have this feature. However, since I have used Zoom, I find it as an advantage because you can see all the participants online and you can choose."

"Zoom helps you to share your screen and allows someone to take remote control during Zoom meetings. Compared with other platforms like Teams and Webex, it's on par."

"I don't have any issue with the pricing."

"I've been using Zoom since the pandemic started. It's actually been a life saving product under the circumstances that were thrust on everybody."

"Zoom is quite easy to use and user-friendly."

"If there were maybe more tutorials outside of what I'm aware the university is suggesting, I would take more tutorials on effective ways to deliver content. I come from the industry and content was always needed when people that were observing were smart and involved and decision-makers instead of so passively just trying to pass the course. In my imagination, the tutorials would be a tool where the learners themselves can have much more hands-on learning during a Collaborate session."

"We faced outages when the user limit went over a certain number."

"The system can overload when too many try logging in."

"Having easier access to recorded meetings, being able to download them fast, and playing them back would be helpful."

"There could be more integration options for Zoom."

"The pricing could be improved."

"Extra security would be a good added feature."

"I'd like to have the recording functionality in the free version so that we don't need any licensing in order to access it."

"Zoom could improve by having more tools."

"There was a situation not long ago when there were some security fears. Some users had somebody else take control of their calls. They might have addressed these issues now, but the security needs to continue to be upgraded."

"You can use Teams more to collaborate with your coworkers. I think Zoom could add some of these features in addition to simple video conferencing."

"The pricing is too high. The cost of the license could be cheaper."

"There is a 40-minute time limit when you use the basic version, which is free."

"There are no licensing fees required."

"There are paid and free personal accounts for Zoom."

"There are no licensing fees required."

"We purchased a license for Zoom."

"It is an inexpensive product."

"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."
