Zoom Reviews

We use Zoom for online meetings, office setup, and video conferencing.

We also set up Zoom as a virtual office. We have different people who work from home. People log in at 9:30 in the morning, and they're online until 6:15 in the evening.

I wanted to set up a virtual office and work-from-home scenarios, and this is where I found Zoom to be good. It helps me and the company do remote work by setting up a virtual office, with all of us present for the entire working hours.

I'm not sure if GoTo Meeting, Cisco Webex, and other solutions have the virtual office setup option. They could be good for webinars, but I'm not sure how good they are in really setting up a virtual office, or if that option's even available.

What could be better or what could be improved in Zoom is allowing us to log in and connect to people through Zoom phone. In some countries, they allow it, but here in India, they don't. There are a number of times people are outside, and it would have been good if I can connect with them using Zoom Phone.

I've been using Zoom for almost a year.

Zoom is stable solution.

Zoom is scalable. I don't see any challenge on scalability from this solution.

I've reached out to the Zoom technical support team, particularly via chat. I've received good response from them, so whenever I need inputs from them, I just need to contact them via chat.

I was using Microsoft Teams, but I could not set up the rooms the way I wanted, so I decided to move to Zoom from Microsoft Teams.

Zoom installation is straightforward.

I implemented this myself, so in-house.

I pay yearly for the Zoom license.

I evaluated Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, Skype for Business, GoTo Webinar, GoTo Meeting, and Zoho Meeting.

Zoom is a cloud-based solution. We're using the latest edition of this solution.

We have 10 users of this platform in our company, but we're not planning to increase the number of users. It's enough.

I do the deployment and maintenance of this solution myself. I don't need a technical team to do it.

I can recommend Zoom to other people who may want to start using it.

I'm giving Zoom a rating of nine out of ten.

We use Zoom in my office for virtual meetings.

We use it to attend meetings while at the office, from home, from the car, or from the hotel. It is a good solution for online meetings and in general, virtual communications.

It has a feature that allows you to store the recording of a meeting, which is good.

Zoom meetings can only have 1,000 attendees. For more than 1,000, you must buy the Zoom Webinar product.

I have been using Zoom for approximately one year.

This is a scalable product, although a Zoom meeting can only have 1,000 attendees. We have approximately 400 people that use it.

We have to evaluate it further before deciding whether we will increase our usage.

I have been in contact with technical support and it is good. They are very friendly.

We used another video conferencing solution for approximately two months.

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

If you have any confusion, you can get information about setting it up from YouTube or Google. It's very easy.

I deployed it myself. No technical team is needed for deployment.

We pay a yearly licensing fee.

Overall, this is a good product and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

Zoom is one of the products that we use for meetings. We use it for internal partners, customers, and everyone that doesn't have a different preferred meeting platform.

The most valuable feature is the sharing capabilities. Whether it's a simple screen for PowerPointr or sharing videos, it works really well. I have had good success with sharing videos.

The integration with Outlook has been good, which is a nice feature.

Zoom is very easy to use. Even my elderly parents can use it, which is a testament to having ease of use without a lot of people needing to support it.

When the firewall is turned on, there have been issues with congestion that affects performance. This is the case even with a strong internet connection.

We began using Zoom approximately two years ago.

Generally speaking, connections are fine. Turning off our firewall during a meeting is a good idea.

Scalability is fine. We've had no problems adding people to meetings.

We have thousands of Zoom users in the company. There are 10,000 people in the company. I don't know that all of them are using it but certainly, there are at least 2,000.

I have never needed to contact technical support. I am in sales. Our IT people may have been in contact with them.

Zoom and Microsoft Teams are our two standard products for meetings.

Zoom is very easy to set up.

We generally have a strict budget so the pricing for Zoom is reasonable.

We used to use Webex and switched to Zoom about two years ago. I am not sure why we switched but I can say that Zoom is enormously easier to use than Webex.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

My primary use case is for virtual meetings. Since this solution is cloud-based, it's always updated to the latest application version. 

One of the most valuable features is the user interface. With every new update, they introduce new useful features. 

Zoom definitely has to be more secure, but I can't think of any anything else to change. 

I have used Zoom for about two years now. 

This solution is stable. 

This solution is scalable. 

I have never contacted technical support. I don't really ever take tech support. 

In my organization, we use Microsoft Teams for official meetings and other events. I have also used Google Meet and, briefly, Cisco WebEx, but I use Zoom the most. I used Cisco WebEx only three or four times because I felt that the other options were more convenient. 

The installation is usually pretty straightforward. 

I implemented this solution myself. 

I use the free version that is available, so I'm not sure what the licensing prices are. 

I rate Zoom a 10 out of 10. I would recommend Zoom to others. I know a lot of people who use Zoom for personal purposes, and a lot of schools and universities have been using Zoom for virtual classes. 

I use Zoom when speaking about some topics in my community. I am currently trying to set up my own business, but when I was working for a company, I used Zoom for meetings with my coworkers when I needed to talk to multiple people at the same time. I've used Zoom for calls with 2,000 to 3,000 people and also audiences of 30 people or one-on-one conversations. 

I like Zoom because of the quality of the image and the resolution. Of course, I know that depends on the hardware you're using. But, still, the image and sound quality are excellent. If you use the free version of Skype, sometimes the screen gets blurry, so you can't see everything well, then you have to check if the connection is okay, or maybe you need to restart the application. But with Zoom, I didn't have that kind of problem. Zoom is also more intuitive and accessible to new users.

One thing that Zoom can improve is the chat. You can send messages to a specific person without messaging everyone. But everyone sees the whole chat if the administrator lets them see the chat. Maybe they could add an option to let you open a private conversation on the side with a person. And for example, let's say you are chatting with another person and you want to select two or three more people to have a private chat. Zoom could add a feature that lets you create a breakout room in the chat where you can collaborate. I think that would work fine because it's like being in an office where you can also start some other conversations. Even though there isn't a speaker in front of you talking, you can also have some further discussions with the coworkers at the same time. But none of the tools has that feature that I know of, or if they do, I haven't used it.

Zoom could also maybe add some integrated storage that could be allocated according to your requirements, or it could be a subscription that you pay for. And the interface could possibly use some fancier colors or a more modern look. Sometimes everything on the screen is in black, but you can change the background, and that's good. But for example, the aspect of the screen is old-fashioned on Zoom. The design, screens, and layouts of the forms could all use an overhaul. If you have software that looks much better than the competitor, maybe it could be positioned better than the leader, probably, perhaps because you have your experience, I'll say. An end-user may be suitable. So, as I said, for example, you could also be in a conversation.

And Zoom could add some integrated note-taking features. So when you are listening to a speaker, you can jot something down really quickly, or if you're the speaker, you can have some notes to help you with your presentation so you don't forget to say something. It would also be helpful if you could record the session yourself. Only the administrator can record the meeting not all the parties in the meeting. But I think it may not be possible because of the bandwidth, I guess.

I have more than 30 years of working as a software director, product manager, and director of software development. So in terms of product development, you always want to envision the real goal you want to achieve in a given amount of time and how you want to differentiate from other products that are out there in the market. And you think about what kind of innovations you want to introduce in the product, so you start managing a roadmap and engage in version planning to release those new versions at a specific time. 

I've never had to contact Zoom support.

Each company has its own preferred toolset of its preference. For example, some users or companies use Webex or GoToMeeting. Others use Skype, Meet, or Teams. But Zoom is the one that comes to mind when I am talking about these tools. In the past, for example, Skype was one of the first tools in the market that let people have virtual meetings for free.

Zoom's strategy is to let everyone use the tool for at least 40 minutes without any restrictions, and when you reach the time limit, you restart the tool and continue the conversation. So that led so many users to adopt the tool. 

Installing Zoom is pretty straightforward. I haven't had any problems. It practically installs itself and takes about a minute, I believe. It updates and installs in that time, but there is also a web-based version so that you can work with it, and you don't need to install anything at all. The only problem I've had recently was a video issue. Everybody could hear me, but I couldn't share my video. I don't know why. I got out of the application and started it again, and I still couldn't show my screen. Maybe it's because I haven't installed the latest version or because I am working with Windows 7 instead of Windows 10 perhaps. 

I've never paid for Zoom. When I worked for other companies, they had already bought a subscription or perpetual license. Aside from that, I've only ever used the free version.

I rate Zoom nine out of 10. I say nine because all products have room for improvement. For instance, it would be a great idea if Zoom could provide APIs and a way to embed their products in third-party applications. Let's say I'm working in BPM or RPA tool and need to ask a question, so can I call someone, see their face, and have a little conversation without leaving the app. That would enhance the experience of using the BPM or RPA tool because you wouldn't have to leave your environment to collaborate with some others immediately. Zoom could be more like WhatsApp, where you can chat about something and get the answer from someone else. You can see all the conversations and search them. But you never see the same integration with a tool like Zoom, Skype, or any other tools in the market. And that would be terrific because it increases and enhances collaboration between people.

And right now, because of the pandemic, we don't know when we'll be working together again at the same office. In some jobs, that could be indefinite. There's going to be a mix of people who like working from home or at the office, and they're going to need to interact, so you need a way for people to talk face to face. You need to see each other and feel a sense that you are close to that person. Even though you're not right there in front of the person, at least you have the chance to see them, not just some words written down in an instant messaging system.

We use Zoom to schedule meetings with internal team members and external partners.

The platform has a solid feature for scheduling short meetings worth 30 minutes.

They could address the product's limitation of the free version, particularly the 40-minute time constraint on meetings.

It is a stable platform. I rate the stability a ten out of ten.

We have around 11 Zoom users in our organization. We use it from time to time depending on the requirement. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

It is easy to deploy and takes five minutes to complete the process. It involves installing the application on the desktop, signing up, and creating a meeting room.

We use the free version of the product. We utilize it only three to four times a month.

The platform provides the easiest way to install or sign up the account. We can then schedule the meeting with an agenda and send an invite email to the attendees. It is a reliable product and offers enough services for our business requirements in terms of productivity.

I advise others to purchase Zoom’s license for unlimited meeting durations. The free version is enough for us, particularly for a spam-free environment with limited internal or external collaborations.

I rate it a ten out of ten.

I join meetings via Zoom only when someone sends me a link to join it. I don't use it actively. I use Zoom to attend general meetings with my company's suppliers or customers.

I hardly use Zoom. I just connect to Zoom and attend the meeting of whoever has set it up for me on Zoom. There isn't something that I like particularly about Zoom.

Some windows on Zoom can look hidden. When you join a meeting in Zoom, you may feel it is difficult to find some windows until you click a few buttons to help you eventually get to the window you want to see. I operate on a macOS, where the chat window is not immediately available when I join a meeting. In general, Zoom's UI needs improvement.

The appearance of important windows in Zoom, especially the chat window, is an area that needs improvement.

I have experience with Zoom. I am just a user of the solution.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

My company has around five users of Zoom.

I never had a reason to use the solution's technical support.

In our company, we normally use Microsoft Teams, but we use Zoom whenever there is a client that requires us to be on a call via Zoom.

I carried out the setup phase of Zoom a couple of years ago, so I don't remember whether its procedure was complex or straightforward.

The deployment phase of Zoom took two minutes to be completed.

Regarding the deployment process, I just downloaded the Zoom installation file and pressed the install option to install Zoom on my system.

I managed the installation phase of Zoom in our company.

I use Zoom's free version.

Zoom is a product that offers users convenience, so you won't be left out of any meetings, especially when others need or prefer to hold meetings on Zoom.

I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

I deal with Zoom as a solution that my company provides to its clients. Basically, my company sells Zoom to clients.

Zoom is a good product, and there are no limitations when you plan to include lots of members. Basically, I haven't directly handled Zoom's consoles and other areas, so I won't be able to tell you all the details regarding the tool. I want to tell you Zoom is a good product for remote meetings and conferences.

In Zoom meetings, video quality is an area of concern where improvements are required.

I have experience with Zoom. My company is a reseller of Zoom.

It is a stable solution.

The scalability of the product depends on the licensing model a user chooses for his company. I am not very experienced with the scalability features of the product.

My company has sold the product to two customers.

In our company, we use Microsoft Teams for our internal and external meetings.

Previously, I used Webex.

The product can be deployed on the cloud. Zoom provides a cloud console, and the user needs to log in to it to activate the licenses. After the licenses are activated, the admin user can create user credentials and passwords for the person who will be the admin, and then it gets shared with that person who can arrange meetings on the tool.

The solution is deployed on the cloud. Deploying the product on an on-premises model may take some time, considering that some hardware devices are involved in the process.

It didn't take much time to deploy the product.

Zoom's ability to allow its users to hold virtual meetings is valuable for our company. It helps to hold a lot of regular meetings with team members who are located outside the company's headquarters. Before the invention of Zoom, employees were forced to come to the office to attend meetings. Zoom saves money by eliminating the need for employees to spend money on travel costs and the costs of holding meetings in the head office.

In terms of reliability, I haven't heard about any recommendations from the clients who use the tool. I think it is better for a regular user of Zoom to speak about the product since only such a person can provide more details regarding whether the tool is good or bad. If you want to know about Zoom from my perspective, I think that I can't give you much information related to the solution.

When I join Zoom meetings, especially the external ones, I feel that the video quality is okay. I rate the tool's video quality a seven and a half out of ten when compared to Webex.

Though I haven't thought about the sound quality offered by Zoom, I feel it is okay.

During multiple conference calls, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex post different limitations in terms of screen sharing and presentation capabilities.

I would recommend that instead of Zoom, others can also use Webex and Microsoft Teams.

I know that nowadays, Zoom is securing their communication in the area of conferencing, specifically video conferencing.

Others can use Zoom if they want to use it.

I rate the tool a seven and a half out of ten.
