Easy to use for our clients and was easy to roll out

I would rate it a nine out of ten. It was really easy to roll it out to our users to implement it to an API. It was very seamless. I don't see any lack of features we need. For the purpose of connecting the client and agent, it works very well. I would like the ability to download or retrieve the call history through APIs. There is no way to download the recordings from the meetings because you can record the meeting. The only way to get the recording from the platform is to log in to my strategic portal and download it manually. There is no way to retrieve the link for downloading the recording through API. I would like to see that in the next release.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The pros are that it's like a global leader. It has a translation project, which is very interesting and important for our users because the minority of them are not able to read and speak in English."

"There are many valuables features of Zoom. The visibility is very good. The ability to see everyone that is talking and the indication spotlight of who the primary speaker is helpful. The solution is interactive, the participants are able to raise their hand, comment, give gestures, such as thumbs up or down."

"I felt the installation to be straightforward."

"Zoom's content shareability and chat support are the most valuable features."

"Overall Zoom functions well."

"Zoom is easy to use."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."

"The ability to make video calls is the solution's most valuable aspect."

"The solution is very stable."

Cons

"We have had some problems with stability. A week ago, we had outaging but it has stablized."

"The security and chat features should improve in Zoom."

"The next version should include features like conflict resolution and Version Control."

"I can't speak to any missing features."

"It would be useful, for my purposes, to be able to run a meeting like a webinar where the solution doesn't show all of the people on the actual call. It would be great if it had the flexibility to allow people to "hide" themselves from the meeting, or to give the person running the meeting the capability of choosing who could be seen, or not."

"I can't think of any features that are lacking."

"I'd like to see more integration with Google Calendaring. When meetings are scheduled they are added into a Google Calendar. For example, if I am driving my car there are often times I have to pull off the road to join into a meeting as opposed to being able to click the link and have it startup. Sometimes I can do that, sometimes I can't, it all depends on how the meeting was generated initially."

"One of the main concerns is the difficulty of using it on your mobile device."

"I can't speak to any aspect that needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"In the basic version, there is a 40-minute time limit on group meetings."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable. I think we get discounts as an organization."

"There are no licensing fees required."

"I am using the free version of the solution. However, it has a time limit of 45 minutes for meetings. We do not have meetings longer than 45 minutes, it is fine for us."

"There are both free and paid versions available."

"The exact costs are handled on a corporate level, however, I understand that if you just want to own a license for your small business or something like that, it's around $300 a year, which is very reasonable."

"There is a free version of Zoom which allows you a certain limited amount of time usage and there is a corporate version of the solution where you have to pay."
