Unlike other conferencing services, we've never had any issues with not being able to dial-in or sudden drop-outs when using GlobalMeet Audio.

Customer Service: I have rarely had to work with customer service because the product has been reliable. However, based on the type of marketing emails and overall professionalism I've received while working with our account manager I believe their customer service would be responsive and helpful as well. Technical Support: I don't recall ever needing to work with technical support because the product has been reliable. When we've had minor technical questions we've reached out to our account manager and they have been able to quickly respond. If there were any more advanced questions I believe they would escalate our issues to their technical support team but that has not occurred to date.

Cons

"The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."

"Zoom could be improved by adding more third-party integrations. They should also work on their virtual backgrounds. I think these could be more professional and creative."

"They could address the product's limitation of the free version, particularly the 40-minute time constraint on meetings."

"When anyone installs Zoom for organizational purposes, then it's fine because all the safety and protection is taken care of by the organization. However, when it's done on a personal basis the terms and conditions, you are not secure."

"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."

"Zoom could improve by being more user-friendly."

"They need to improve the background feature, to be able to set a background without interfering with the current background."

"The virtual background could be more smoothly integrated with the rest of the software."
