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.

Unified communication has transformed our collaboration and consistently boosts project delivery
The best features Zoom Workplace Business offers include screen sharing, clear video and audio, online meetings, large-scale events, call management, mobile apps, unified communication platform, and collaboration. The feature I find myself using the most is an AI-powered collaboration platform that is used to streamline communication, increase employee engagement, optimize in-person time, and improve productivity. The screen sharing is very effective and a helpful tool where we are able to screen share with our colleagues and discuss different tasks and project management ideas. Collaboration has become very efficient, and remote working has also become efficient and prevalent in my organization. We have been able to save a lot of time using Zoom Workplace Business. It has been a game-changer. Zoom Workplace Business elevates the experience with Zoom AI Companion included at no additional cost. It is designed to help employees be more productive, collaborate better, enhance their skills, and unlock time savings.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions."
"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."
"Scalability is good as you can host webinars with hundreds of participants without any lagging."
"We were able to build our own customer portal and then integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."
"GoToWebinar polls help me quickly gauge, upfront, the audience’s interest in topics and their current level of knowledge."
"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."
"Overall, this is a good product that is simple to use but I would rather use Webex for video conferencing."
"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones."
"The video and audio quality are very good."
"Ability to record interviews."
"The most valuable features for me are the spotlight feature and the ability to share video with audio, which some other platforms, like Microsoft Teams, lack. We use it to present sessions and teach end customers or users."
"I would recommend Zoom to others because everyone knows and uses it."
"I would recommend Zoom to others because it's easy and serves its intended purpose well."
"The solution is very user friendly and flexible."
"The solution is easy to navigate."
"We use Zoom for conference calls of a comparatively large scale."
 

Cons

"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."
"It's a little pricier than the others."
"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."
"In comparison, I don't feel that GoToWebinar has the range of customization and it feels quite antiquated in comparison to Teams."
"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 technical support is quite bad."
"GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."
"I was only able to host meetings that were 40 minutes long, which was not enough time."
"The inclusion of some more advanced security features would be an improvement."
"When a lot of people join a meeting it is not possible to shrink the pictures and show them on a single screen."
"The stability of Zoom could be improved. I would rate its stability as a seven out of ten."
"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."
"Maybe the UI could be improved a bit."
"In the past, there were some sound connectivity issues where I would get sound and no picture, and then picture and no sound."
"Sometimes I can get confused about which password setting or parameter is required to be set to use Zoom."
 

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."
"We are on an annual license for the solution. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"There are paid and free personal accounts for Zoom."
"Zoom can be used for free."
"We do not incur a licensing fee."
"Zoom is free."
"My company is using the paid version of Zoom."
"The cost for Zoom is reasonable."
"There are no licensing fees required."

LucidChart vs LucidSpark for brainstorming sessions over Zoom
