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.

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

"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones."
"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."
"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."
"It's popular. Many people use it not only personally, but also in businesses."
"Zoom's content shareability and chat support are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features of Zoom for enhanced team collaboration are its high video quality, comprehensive meeting features, and reliable performance."
"A good option for online meetings."
"The solution provides good video quality."
"Zoom is quite easy to use and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the remote desktop because sometimes we have to intervene and control the client's infrastructure."
"It has efficient security features as well."
 

Cons

"GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."
"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 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."
"The platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it."
"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."
"Non-technical support should be improved, such as that involving invoicing."
"In some cases, I am not able to have a special background during the conversation. It could be because my device is not powerful enough, but I am not able to share a properly designed background. I am having problems setting up my virtual background. It is very easy to set up a virtual background during the conversation with Microsoft Teams, and that's why I like Microsoft Teams, but with Zoom, I find it difficult. I am not able to set up my virtual background very easily. They can look into this area and then see how to improve it."
"Zoom could improve by extending the one-hour maximum session time in the free version."
"The technical support is very bad."
"Zoom isn't well integrated with anything else. Obviously, it's integrated enough to be able to set an appointment or schedule a Zoom meeting."
"In the free version, you are restricted to just 40-minute meetings, however, it is free, and therefore you can't ask for too much. It's still okay."
"The cost should be cheaper."
"Zoom could improve by having more dashboards."
 

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."
"The licensing fees are quite expensive."
"In the basic version, there is a 40-minute time limit on group meetings."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee."
"I use Zoom's free version."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"Has a paid account for multiple users as well as a free option."
"I use the free version of Zoom that is available for download."
"There is a 40-minute time limit when you use the basic version, which is free."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Zoom?
