Gavin Tomlins - PeerSpot reviewer

Clunky with poor interface, lacks sufficient functionalities; it did reduce need for in-person meetings
We're phasing out the use of GoToMeeting because of some of its deficiencies. It lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations. The user interface is quite poor and needs to be reworked and the product is quite clunky in comparison to its competitors. It currently lacks the ability for sharing collaborative materials during a meeting. We also found that the ability to switch between audio and video configurations isn't as intuitive as in other applications. I generally do 20-30 hours of video conferencing a day, so it makes a difference to have these features. It doesn't integrate as easily into phone systems as well as other organizations and it doesn't integrate as easy into instant messaging and collaboration tools or into software solutions. In general, some of the functionalities need to be improved.
Arun Basnet - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Engineer at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Daily team collaboration has become smoother and supports reliable long client meetings
One of the best features Zoom Workplace Business offers is that we have unlimited time for our meeting schedule with no time limitation. Additionally, we can have a workspace and many other features that I haven't explored yet, including shared documents. Zoom Workplace Business has numerous features to provide a team with valuable tools. Regarding how Zoom Workplace Business has impacted my organization positively, we also had other communication channels such as Teams and Slack, but the video call experience in Zoom was really good and helpful. We also have a recording functionality which is truly helpful. While we have that on other platforms, Zoom makes it similarly easy to implement as that of other communication channels. Since Zoom has a really good streaming quality and works on low latency as well, we prefer to use Zoom over other communication channels for video calling and conferences, although we have other communication channels for text messages.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"It's cost-effective."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"The most valuable features of Zoom are its ease of use, screen sharing, and annotations."
"Simple and user-friendly; works on any device."
"I like Zoom's ease of use and how easy it is for non-tech people to interface with it. Other video conferencing solutions can be somewhat challenging for non-tech people, so you often end up waiting for people to connect."
"The solution is easy to navigate."
"Compared to any other platform, Zoom has been very stable for meetings and conference calls."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it's free."
"The most valuable features are the video conferencing and the whole invite to set up a meeting is really easy to figure out and use. The chat functions are pretty simple as well."
 

Cons

"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"Extra security would be a good added feature."
"It is difficult to collaborate."
"Zoom should introduce AI features that allow you to understand a person's emotions."
"Zoom has frequent updates, occurring every week or twice a week. This poses a significant issue because sometimes when we attempt to initiate a call, the system begins an upgrade process, taking at least 30 seconds and sometimes up to two minutes. This unscheduled upgrade can be inconvenient for users, as they must wait for the update to complete."
"One thing I do wish was that there was more visibility. Sometimes I have to click into a reply-all to find out who is in the meeting and whether they've accepted or not."
"The security needs to be improved."
"Zoom could improve its security measures. A friend faced an issue where it was easy to crack the code."
"The recording capabilities may not be as good as WebEx, however, I can't be sure about that just yet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Negotiate for discounts."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"There are no licensing fees required."
"We have subscribed to a package for Zoom and it is a monthly payment."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee."
"Zoom is free."
"The cost for Zoom is reasonable."
"The cost of Zoom has led me to use WeChat, instead."
"Zoom is available with an open license that can support meetings of up to 40 minutes."
