Blackboard Collaborate vs Zoom comparison

"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."

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

"Document loading and annotation."

"Zoom is scalable, it can handle meetings with lots of delegates."

"Zoom is very easy to set up. You simply download it and use it."

"Simple and user-friendly; works on any device."

"One of the most valuable features is the user interface. With every new update, they introduce new useful features."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"It has efficient security features as well."

"There are no restrictions on the number of participants in a single meeting, That is the beauty of Zoom, and it is also very fast compared to others."

"The solution is great it meets all of our needs, most people have the solution, and it is convenient to use."

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

"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."

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

"Zoom's stability is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."

"The security of the solution could improve."

"One of the main concerns is the difficulty of using it on your mobile device."

"I find while using Zoom sometimes there is a lot of disturbance while on the call. There is a lot of network issues, and sometimes the screen freezes, and you have no way of figuring out what went wrong. You have to restart the computer all over again, or you lose some of the words that someone was saying during the meeting, such as what the person is trying to say in the midst of that conversation. Additionally, there have been times it has disconnected and was not able to start."

"Could be more flexible for individuals that do not have the economic capacity."

"One thing that Zoom can improve is the chat. You can send messages to a specific person without messaging everyone. But everyone sees the whole chat if the administrator lets them see the chat. Maybe they could add an option to let you open a private conversation on the side with a person."

"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."

"Extra security would be a good added feature."

"There is a subscription to use the solution."

"Zoom is free to use."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Zoom, which is expensive in our part of the world."

"It is reasonable. It has a monthly license."

"Zoom is free."

"Zoom is free."

"The free version has a time limit, but paid subscriptions are available."

"The price is $149 USD yearly."
