Video library is a great tool and it enables good customization; feels a little antiquated and rusty
I like that recordings are available immediately, it's a great feature. I also appreciate being able to use the video library as a tool, and the integration of an API with other systems we have. We were able to build our own customer portal and then integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface. People thought they were on our platform, but they were using GoToWebinar. Those are unique features that seemed to be very easy for our development team to integrate. I like that aspect of it. It also provides good visibility if somebody had seen a webinar that was useful. It's very easy to push them out. Registration is an easy process as is customization on the back end. We very rarely had technical issues running the webinars so it's a pretty robust platform overall.

Improved collaboration costs have been reduced while daily stand-ups and events run more efficiently
If I were to discuss how Zoom Workplace Business can be improved, I feel that it is providing good service overall; however, the scaling aspect could be enhanced. Even though it has great scalability, if they can make it even more scalable, it would be really good. Also, while the integration is good, with the growth of AI, advancing the AI part to enable other workflows within the application would be beneficial. Those are some observations from my part, but otherwise, I feel everything is all right. I would love to see advanced AI integrations with major players such as Google and Amazon. Talking about scalability, Zoom Workplace Business is definitely a scalable solution, accommodating up to 1,000 people at once. However, when exceeding that number, the bandwidth may be disturbed and the latency may reduce; I have witnessed that issue occurring during large events, which is why I highlighted this part.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I can extract the activity and the attendance reports, along with every single question that was asked during the webinar, which is a feature that we highly value."
"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones."
"All of their features are good. They are more or less equivalent to the competition. There's less disturbance, less jitter, the voice is always good even at a low bandwidth."
"We were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."
"The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions."
"The quality of the connection from Zoom is very good. There are many functions and features available. I am only a basic user and it has more than I will ever use. It has lower bandwidths than other products that we have used and has worked well. It is important to have good quality sound and video than anything else."
"I've been on a call with around a thousand students. So, it was quite scalable."
"There is a free version of the solution."
"The most valuable features of Zoom are its ease of use, screen sharing, and annotations."
"Zoom is quite easy to use and user-friendly."
"The ability to make video calls is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The whiteboard capabilities are great."
"It has efficient security features as well."
 

Cons

"Some of my friends also use GoToWebinar to collect clients for affiliate marketing. In those cases, they found some features were missing with respect to some of the competition. And the worst part is the price."
"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."
"The platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it."
"GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."
"The chat window and using polls is easier in Zoom than compared to GoToWebinar. Make it simpler and easier to publish polls on the fly would improve the solution."
"Zoom is not a good product for webinars."
"Compared to Skype and Teams, Zoom is missing one feature, and that's the ability to call people. In Teams, I can call anyone I want. It's like a telephone. I can do the same on Skype, but I have to send a link in Zoom."
"The virtual background could be more smoothly integrated with the rest of the software."
"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."
"Zoom's user interface could be improved. For example, it could have bigger buttons for elderly people."
"The security needs to be improved."
"I found it very confusing to set up a meeting."
"It is important for us to have Zoom integration with our Active Directory environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a free solution."
"It is a monthly subscription and the price is quite expensive if you're not paying annually."
"It is an inexpensive product."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee."
"There are both free and paid versions available."
"There is a licensing fee and although the price is fair, it can be a little cheaper."
"We are on an annual license for the solution. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"I have been using the free version of Zoom."
"We do not incur a licensing fee."
"Zoom is available with an open license that can support meetings of up to 40 minutes."
