Friendly user interface, simple navigation; suitable for small and large webinars
One thing that could be improved is that there is a 5,000 person limit. Exceeding that requires an additional fee and requires purchasing additional cloud space. It's difficult because you never know on the day how many people will join. The reporting could also be improved because it sometimes requires putting in a request for additional information. If reporting were more in-depth that could be avoided. I think the next release could include something related to bandwidth optimization because I log in from three devices, iPhone, mobile and laptop to check. There was some lag with the mobile.

"The solution is stable and scalable."
"The most valuable features of Zoom are the audio and video quality and the ease of use when setting up meetings."

More Zoom pros
 

Cons

"The solution needs a more modern interface."
"Bandwidth optimization could be increased."
"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 video quality of the free version might not be as good as the enterprise edition."
"The time limitations for the free version should be increased from 40 minutes."
"Zoom should improve aspects of its security."
"The solution could be a bit more user-friendly."
"Lacks an indicator on chat to show that a message has been read."
"I can't think of any features that are lacking."
"I would like to see something like a virtual board or conference room where participants are seated around a virtual table, and pictures of them sitting on the chair or an avatar that the user can choose and control within that virtual world."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid $1,800 for five webinars, which is the standard fee. If you require support there is a $300 additional fee, extra attendees is an additional fee, integration is an additional fee, etc. All these extras could add on another $2,500 which was not in our budget."
"We do not incur any licensing costs, as we use the free version."
"A licensing fee is required."
"We generally have a strict budget so the pricing for Zoom is reasonable."
"We use the free version of the product. We utilize it only three to four times a month."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. It is not affordable for small businesses."
"Zoom is licensed as a subscription model and it is available on a monthly or yearly basis."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee."
"I use the free version of Zoom that is available for download."
