Zoom Reviews

I am using it for virtual meetings.

I'm using it only for meetings, and it is good for me. It provides options for remote control and screen sharing.

If anything, the updates could be less frequent.

I have been using this solution for a couple of years.

We have about 120 users who are using this solution. We don't have any plans to increase its usage.

We connected with them only once.

We used to work with Skype in the past, but we are not using that. This is the solution that we chose. I don't care whether it is Webex, Skype, Meet, or something else, as long as it works and it is stable.

It took me minutes. That's all.

I can install it on my own. There is no need for a technical person.

It is reasonable. It has a monthly license. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We are using Zoom for meetings.

The most valuable feature of Zoom is having the ability to be able to share your screen and chat whilst you're online.

Zoom could improve by having more dashboards.

I have been using Zoom for approximately three years.

I have not had any issues with the stability of Zoom.

We have approximately 10 people using the solution at my organization. We plan to increase usage in the next nine months.

I have not contacted the support from Zoom.

I have used Microsoft Teams.

The initial setup is very easy, it only takes a few minutes.

I am using the free version of Zoom.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Zoom a seven out of ten.

Zoom's breakout rooms are an interesting feature that is quite useful for conducting exercises during training. I don't think Teams has this. I also like the recording capabilities, but that depends on the type of privileges that the user has. Not everybody in the organization has the ability to record. 

We sometimes have difficulties connecting, but I never know if it's an issue with Zoom or the network. I would say it's Zoom because we have been working quite a lot from home. However, I would generally say I have not experienced that many issues with Zoom. I'm satisfied.

We've been using Zoom within the company for the past two years or so.

Our organization has around a thousand people, and Zoom is the standard tool we have been using.

I rate Zoom seven out of 10. 

We use Zoom for internal and external meetings. 

Zoom's drawing tools could be better integrated. 

We've been using Zoom for about two years. 

Zoom is stable. 

Zoom is scalable.  We have about 10,000 users at my company. 

We used Webex in the past. 

Zoom is a cloud service. I think we only have to pay for the license. 

I rate Zoom nine out of 10.

I use Zoom mainly for meetings with colleagues or speaking with other people in the organization. I also use it to speak with people at my old job.

The most valuable feature is its reliability.

I have had the occasional problem with the connection and stability.

I have had problems with the connection but not very often.

I think that it is scalable. Everything that I have needed it for has been okay.

In this organization, everybody uses it. There are between 40,000 and 50,000 students and approximately 10,000 faculty. It’s a lot of users.

I have not had to contact technical support for anything.

Zoom is definitely easy to set up.

The personal version that I was using is available free of charge. A subscription service is also available.

My advice for anybody who is implementing Zoom is that it seems really straightforward. It's easy to set up and easy to use.

Other than a few connection issues, I haven’t had any problems with it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

My primary use cases for Zoom are work, school, and private calls. However, my private calls only go over Zoom if a lot of people need to be involved for things like birthday parties or something like that. 

The feature I find the most about Zoom is that you can have a private chat in a group call.

The synchronization could be improved. However, synchronization is as much a connectivity issue as a software one. If they can somehow introduce a compression algorithm that could reduce the throughput necessary, that would probably alleviate a lot of the issues of the data of the network connection. However, overall, I think it's pretty good. I like lean products.

Zoom also has an issue with logins. For some reason, especially with institutional accounts, it is common to get kicked out and verification processes don't work all the time. This does depend on which device you have, what kind of operating system you are in, and if you switch operating systems. The migration of your account is actually pretty difficult and it is something that they should look at. The transferability between different environments is super important.

I have not had to contact Zoom's technical support. 

The initial setup was easy for me. You go online and install it and it's done.

I have not paid a single cent ever for Zoom. However, I am paying with my data.

Take 10 to 20 minutes to get to know the platform or ask someone to just walk you through it once. It's very intuitive if you know anything about technology.

We primarily use the solution for virtual meetings. 

The solution is stable.

I have found the product to be scalable. 

The interface is great.

The dashboards are user-friendly. 

Its installation is very straightforward. 

I can't say I have seen areas that were lacking features or needed improvement. I'm overall very happy with the product. 

The pricing of the product could be lowered a bit.

I've been using the solution for a few years. 

The stability is great. The solution offers good reliability. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The scalability of the solution has been good. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so. It's not a problem. 

We have 100 users on the solution currently. 

I've never had to reach out to technical support. I can't speak to how responsive they are, or how helpful.  

I also use Microsoft Teams.

The initial setup is not complex. It's not difficult. It's pretty simple and straightforward and simple. A company shouldn't have any issues with the initial setup. 

The licensing costs could be a bit better.

The solution is cloud-based, meaning we are always on the latest solution. 

I am satisfied with the solution overall.

I'd rate the solution at a solid eight out of ten.

I'm not sure if I would recommend Zoom to others. I'd likely recommend Microsoft Zoom instead.

It would be great if during presentations participants could go back and look at, for example, PowerPoint slides being presented. This can only be done now by the person sharing the presentation and I wouldn't want to jeopardize that, but if, instead of just displaying the current screen, the system software could make the PowerPoint deck available. That would be useful to individuals that may need clarification on something and would prevent avoidable questions.

The virtual background could be more smoothly integrated with the rest of the software. I don't want to distract people with the clutter in my office, so I pull the screen down and put up the virtual background, so that I have a clean interface, and they can talk to me without being distracted by what's going on in my office. But, when people don't do that, it's distracting to see what's behind them. Getting that better integrated into the program, so that it's a first class citizen and not an appendage that's been glued on, would be a really nice thing.

People should be warned that the virtual backgrounds work much better with a green screen. If you don't have a green screen, virtual backgrounds are really distracting because pieces of people appear and disappear.

I've been using Zoom since the pandemic started. It's actually been a life saving product under the circumstances that were thrust on everybody.

I have used other products like Microsoft Teams and Webex by Cisco.
