Yogesh Kumar Mali - PeerSpot reviewer
A good and decent meeting platform that stores recordings of meetings
We use Zoho Meeting for booking meetings and demo calls for product review updates The most valuable feature of Zoho Meeting is how it stores recordings and how we can get those recordings by order. It may be a network issue, but sometimes the video gets blurred when we are on a Zoho Meeting…
Kallol Chaudhuri - PeerSpot reviewer
Helped us tremendously in collaborating with each other and getting our work done and offers the breakout rooms feature.
We are a team located across various locations. Not in the same geographic location. We are distributed. And it's not possible to physically travel and meet people. Sometimes it's simply not possible. But Zoom has helped us tremendously in collaborating with each other and getting our work done. Without Zoom, it would have been very, very difficult. The breakout rooms feature is also helpful. For example, I have a meeting attended by hundreds of people and want to create subgroups. I typically use it for different role-play scenarios during training if we are trying to conduct some training on presentation skills. So there's a large group, which is initially trained by an instructor. Then you get instructions that the room will be split into smaller breakout rooms. I'll give you a topic, and you'll practice in these smaller groups. That's one way I use it. So it's like a simulation of a real brainstorming session I'd have in a physical space.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the tool's video call feature."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Meeting is how it stores recordings and how we can get those recordings by order."
"One of the most valuable features of Zoho Meeting is how user-friendly it is. It also has some security features."
"The API is much more flexible than other platforms."
"I find it very easy to use for multiple persons."
"It is very easy to use. The utilization of the network is very good."
"Zoom is easy to use and easy to navigate."
"It's not a big deal to set up a meeting."
"Zoom is easy for non-tech people to use. It's straightforward and simple."
"The most valuable features of Zoom are voice and camera clarity. The time latency of the response is good. The facility to view all the participants who are online is a benefit. In most of the other similar solutions, they too have this feature. However, since I have used Zoom, I find it as an advantage because you can see all the participants online and you can choose."
"Zoom has become a straightforward solution and is valuable for various meeting types."
"The most valuable features of Zoom are the audio and video quality and the ease of use when setting up meetings."
 

Cons

"It may be a network issue, but sometimes the video gets blurred when we are on a Zoho Meeting video call."
"Maybe the price could be lowered, but people will want a lower price forever."
"They do not have phone support."
"I would like to see a chat feature in the solution."
"Although I have not experienced this issue directly, I have heard that there are a lot of security issues with Zoom. Security is very important to us and I have read in the news, there have been a few security issues with them, which worries us in general. We have to update this solution to use it for business purposes soon. We have to check it with an independent security product to verify its safety."
"It is difficult to see and control whether you're muted or not, so the interface should be improved."
"I found it very confusing to set up a meeting."
"They could improve security more."
"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."
"Additional end-user features like polling would be beneficial."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other solutions, the price is not the lowest, but I can say it's competitive. My organization pays for a yearly license for Zoho."
"In India, Professional Zoho Meeting for up to 10 participants costs INR 125 per month, and for up to 250 participants, it costs INR 750 per month if billed annually."
"The product is not costly like other applications."
"The solution's pricing is good."
"In addition to any licensing fees, we hired Zoom to provide training to us in small groups."
"We generally have a strict budget so the pricing for Zoom is reasonable."
"There are no licensing fees required."
"There is some basic functionality that's free but if you want to host longer meetings and have more participants, then there is a licensing fee."
"The pricing is too high. The cost of the license could be cheaper."
"I am not paying any licensing costs for the solution."
"The price of Zoom is a bit expensive."

LucidChart vs LucidSpark for brainstorming sessions over Zoom
Hi @Krista Thompson ​ - Yes, LucidSpark is a much more nimble and, in some ways, user-friendly tool than LucidChart. LucidSpark is designed to do a better job managing multiple users participating ...
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Zoom?
There is a concern about the free version's forty-five-minute limit. For education use, having more affordable access through institutions would be beneficial.
