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.

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."
"The API is much more flexible than other platforms."
"One of the most valuable features of Zoho Meeting is how user-friendly it is. It also has some security features."
"Zoom has facilitated our remote and hybrid meetings, particularly in the context of our agile processes such as scrum. In the past, estimating story points required physical presence in a room, where we would use visual cues or hand gestures. We can create polls with Zoom and share them with team members for direct input. The recording feature is also good. Additionally, features like whiteboarding allow for specific collaboration sessions tailored to different team members' needs. Auto-scheduling meetings and integration with Microsoft Outlook make organizing and attending meetings effortless. Overall, the product is good and convenient."
"The interface makes it simple to use."
"It has efficient security features as well."
"The tool has made remote work possible for us. It's not just about the technology but also about staying connected with colleagues. ..........I can share documents directly in the chat during meetings, which is helpful, especially when collaborating with my project team. Before, I had to download the chat manually, but now I can see all the chat directly in the Zoom application. Plus, I can automatically save the meeting chat to my computer."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Simple and user-friendly; works on any device."
"A good option for online meetings."
"Zoom's most valuable feature is communication."
 

Cons

"Maybe the price could be lowered, but people will want a lower price forever."
"It may be a network issue, but sometimes the video gets blurred when we are on a Zoho Meeting video call."
"I would like to see a chat feature in the solution."
"They do not have phone support."
"The security can be improved because this is one of the reasons that my organization prefers to use Skype."
"The technical support is very bad."
"I can't speak to any missing features."
"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."
"I would like to see support for transferring files."
"In addition to Zoom, I frequently utilize Slack, and I particularly appreciate its huddle functionality. What I find appealing about Slack is the ability to simultaneously chat and have video capabilities. It would be beneficial if Zoom offered similar features integrated with some form of channel system, although I acknowledge that I am not involved in the product management aspect. Personally, I believe this integration would make Zoom even more compelling and engaging for users like myself."
"We have had some quality and lagging issues with video regardless of connection quality."
"There were times on the free version where I wasn't done the meeting and it just took me out. They need to give more time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The product is not costly like other applications."
"The cost of Zoom has led me to use WeChat, instead."
"I use the free version of Zoom that is available for download."
"Zoom is free to use."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. It is not affordable for small businesses."
"I am making yearly payments. So, I am paying 250 USD a year."
