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

"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."
"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."
"The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions."
"The most valuable features of Zoom are the quality of the video is better than other solutions and they have a recording option that is useful. Additionally, it helps to collaborate with other organizations."
"It was easy to use for screen sharing or sharing applications."
"When there is a large number of people involved, I can pinpoint a particular person and I can message him in Zoom, rather than messaging everybody involved. I can directly communicate with that person and I find that feature very useful."
"The best features of Zoom include its ease of use due to an intuitive interface, which makes it suitable for both personal and professional use."
"There are lots of great features available to every user."
"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 feature I really like is the summary provided by AI."
"The high capacity means that you can have a lot of people in the same meeting. I once attended a meeting with approximately 400 people."
 

Cons

"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."
"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."
"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 platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it."
"Sometimes when I try to share my screen in a conference room, I have to click the share button more than once. This happens around fifty percent of the time."
"Security is something Zoom lacks. If you're trying to get proprietary buy-in and enterprise buy-in, security is the top priority. And even though the user interface is simple, every solution could use a tune-up in that department."
"The performance could be better."
"The solution is not very useful for chat and lacks highlighting functionality."
"Zoom could improve by having more tools."
"Setting up and understanding the tool takes time."
"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."
"I'd like integration with Outlook to set my meetings. As it is, right now, I have to go to the Zoom app to do that, and after that, export it to Outlook."
 

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 free version has a time limit, but paid subscriptions are available."
"The personal version that I was using is available free of charge."
"There is some basic functionality that's free but if you want to host longer meetings and have more participants, then there is a licensing fee."
"There is a licensing fee and although the price is fair, it can be a little cheaper."
"We do not incur any licensing costs, as we use the free version."
"I use the free version of Zoom that is available for download."
"We have an account but we are also using the free version."
"We use the free version of the product. We utilize it only three to four times a month."

LucidChart vs LucidSpark for brainstorming sessions over Zoom
Hi @Krista Thompson ​ - Yes, LucidSpark is a much more nimble and, in some ways, user-friendly tool than LucidChart. LucidSpark is designed to do a better job managing multiple users participating ...
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Zoom?
