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."

"The setup is rather simple and straightforward."

"Zoom is a scalable solution, we have 150,000 people using it in my organization."

"The installation process is very simple."

"The grid view option is great, as you get to see everyone who is in the video conference at the same time."

"The interface makes it simple to use."

"I rate Zoom as a seven out of ten. This is because it is much easier to use than Microsoft Teams."

"Zoom is very easy to set up. You simply download it and use it."

"The solution is easy to set up."

Cons

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

"I would like to be able to have multiple users open and collaborate on a document at the same time."

"There is insufficient customization."

"There was a situation not long ago when there were some security fears. Some users had somebody else take control of their calls. They might have addressed these issues now, but the security needs to continue to be upgraded."

"It is difficult to collaborate."

"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."

"The security needs to be improved."

"The free version of Zoom could be improved and offer more functionality. We would also like to have whiteboard and drawing functionality."

"Could be more flexible for individuals that do not have the economic capacity."
