Zoom Reviews

Sometimes, I use Zoom when I meet with some of my customers who are using Zoom for meetings and collaboration.

I like the fact that you can run Zoom on the browser as well as the native app so that you can quickly run it on any platform. Zoom has helped me with collaboration and remote working.

Zoom should also include features like the automatic transcribing of conversations. It allows you to record the video of a meeting, but it doesn't have the ability to automatically transcribe the conversation into text. Sometimes, I have issues with using the app on different browsers, like Safari on Mac.

I have been using Zoom for two years.

The solution’s stability is fine but could be improved.

Since Google runs completely on the browser, you can get into a meeting quickly. In Zoom, we had to skip a few steps and consider whether to run it on the browser or the app. If I launch it in the app, it takes time for the app to launch and then for me to log in.

There are a few steps involved, but with Google, we just have to click on a link. Copying the passcode and entering those passcodes when joining a Zoom call is a bit of a hassle. With Google, you just click on a link and we can join a meeting.

The solution's setup is not the greatest because it requires you to download the app. We wanted to encourage the browser mode of logging in rather than using an app.

The solution is deployed on the cloud in our organization. I would recommend Zoom to other users. You should check out the capabilities and features because there are different options when you subscribe to Zoom. You should check things like the limitation on how many people can log in at a time and breakout sessions before subscribing to ensure that the solution fits your needs.

Overall, I rate the solution a six out of ten.

I am using Zoom for virtual meetings. In my company we use Zoom and when we work from home. The physical meeting rooms are not used as much anymore. Additionally, we use Zoom for interviews for candidates.

I have found Zoom to have all the functions that I need. The solution is easy to use.

Sometimes can get confused about which password setting or parameter is required to be set to use it. For example, if I want to issue a Zoom meeting to my team members or perhaps sometimes I want them to issue a Zoom directly when I receive the Zoom accounts from our IT department, I don't know how to enable or disable these features in the Zoom. I think it's a personal issue I have.

I have used Zoom within the last 12 months.

Zoom has been scalable we have not had any issues.

We have approximately 20 Zoom accounts that can be used for employees to use. Our company is worldwide and we have approximately 8,000 employees and there is a potential for everyone to use Zoom.

In 2021 the frequency of use of Zoom was every week. However, in 2022, because we are quite slow in January, it has been deduced.

I have used Microsoft Teams previously.

I prefer to use Zoom because it was the first tool I used. When I compared Zoom to Webex or the GoToMeeting, I find Zoom is easier to book meetings, log in to, and start the meeting.

The implementation can be difficult.

We have our IT department that does the implementation of the solution.

I rate Zoom an eight out of ten.

The primary use case of this solution is for video calling, web, and group meetings.

The most valuable feature is push notifications. We use it as a user and Zoom has the option to control the entire meeting with the push notifications. One person can control the entire meeting, which is quite handy for an organizational meeting. 

For personal meetings, the screen-sharing and the quality of the video is great.

The interface is easy to understand, and easy to use.

For those who cannot purchase the ID, they have a time limit of 40 minutes. They should consider increasing the time limits for free users.

I am from India, and here we have students who are using Zoom for their college classes or science classes. If they would increase the video times then it would increase their market size. Once they have more time, they can use it more often and could possibly decide to purchase the paid version.

The backgrounds are a bit dull. I would like to see some improvements made to the backgrounds that are available.

We started using the free version of Zoom a year ago, but only just made the official purchase one month ago.

We have been using the Business Zoom in full for the last month.

It's a stable solution. We don't have any issues connecting.

This solution is scalable.

We have 500 employees who are using it. It is being used extensively in our organization right now as everyone is working from remote locations.

In India, the COVID lockdown is increasing every month. The chances are that we will be increasing our account users.

I have not spoken with anyone in the technical support team. We have our own IT department and go directly to them if we have any issues.

Previously we were using Join Me. The interface was poor and we were having many issues during web calls and group meetings. We switched to using Zoom and the experience has been very good.

We have also used Skype, Skype for Business, and some other tools. Zoom is easier.

I have used Hangouts Meet and when you increase users the video quality deteriorates and you will face many issues.

There is a free version available with time limits.

Depending on the company budget, this would be a great solution to use. It's user-friendly and the video quality is very good. The bandwidth it requires is good, and you can continue with your meetings without any issues.

Compared to other products on the market, this is a very good solution. There are very few options available that have a good interface that is easy to use and understand with good video calling.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Our primary use case for Zoom is meeting with business partners and other organizations.

The solution has been valuable in facilitating remote communication and collaboration during the pandemic when physical meetings were impossible.

The product's stability needs improvement.

We have been using Zoom for one and a half years.

I rate the product's stability an eight out of ten. There is always room for improvement.

The product is scalable.

I have used Microsoft Teams earlier.

The platform is easy to deploy.

Zoom was free and adopted by most organizations for business communication during the pandemic.

I rate it an eight out of ten.

Everyone in the company uses it, so it's about a few dozen. I use it for interviews and group discussions but very rarely for meetings because there are security issues on that level. So I don't share proprietary information on Zoom, but I use it frequently for normal discussion. Obviously, now that people are getting back to work, we're not using it as much, but it's still useful.

Zoom is more accessible for people without a lot of tech knowledge. So let's say you're setting up a Zoom call with your parents, and they don't have the hardware or other things you need on their computer. It's easy to Zoom with them over the phone rather than inviting them to a meeting and getting them to a place with a microphone and a screen. It's highly mobile and easy for them to join the conversation.

I like Zoom's ease of use and how easy it is for non-tech people to interface with it. Other video conferencing solutions can be somewhat challenging for non-tech people, so you often end up waiting for people to connect. Although Microsoft Teams is probably a better enterprise product overall, it's not as good for people who don't have that kind of tech history. Also, I've had some microphone issues and connection issues with Teams. 

Security is something Zoom lacks. If you're trying to get proprietary buy-in and enterprise buy-in, security is the top priority. And even though the user interface is simple, every solution could use a tune-up in that department. I found it easy, but those things are not difficult for me. Of course, I can't speak for older adults who might not have experience interfacing with these things. Maybe Zoom could be made easier for them. 

But again, when it comes to ease of use, Zoom is on the lower and higher-end, depending on how you look at it. We don't use Zoom for presentations, so I'm unsure if it already has this feature. But if Zoom could enable you to present directly, that's something that would add a lot of value. 

We've been using Zoom for over a year.

I haven't had any issues. However, once you get beyond a certain number, it becomes very dependent on the admin to figure out who should be talking. The more people you have, the more difficult it will be to keep track. But I suppose that's a function of any meeting.

Zoom's scalability depends on whether people are following Robert's Rules of Order or how amenable your staff is to have those kinds of meetings. If they're not used to that kind of thing, then you have people speaking out of turn, so it depends on how good your moderator is. Generally speaking, though, the more people on a call, the more difficult it is to manage who's speaking or keep track of who is who. 

Hopefully, we won't be expanding our usage any time soon because that would mean things have gone south in terms of the pandemic. For now, our usage will remain steady, and I don't see it expanding to that extent. Even if you have customers across different markets, it won't be expanded on one end because the user base on the proprietary end won't increase.

You really didn't need tech support for Zoom. Something terrible would have to happen before you called Zoom tech support. Even then, you have your internal IT team for stuff like this, but it's not a cumbersome app. People have security issues. They get hacked. I know of a few people who had their Zoom meetings interrupted with frat-boy antics, racist trolling, and all kinds of crazy things. We've never had those kinds of issues, but if your password gets out or something like that, you may have to call tech support and see if they can block some IP address. But we've never had to deal with that kind of issue.

People at this company use Skype and Webex fairly frequently, but Webex is more of an onsite on-prem thing. For example, Webex is used when you don't want to go upstairs to talk to your coworker or you can't fit that many people in a conference room. Webex is more appropriate for direct presentations. We don't use Zoom for that kind of thing. But Zoom is easier to use overall than Webex, Teams, and Skype.

Setting up Zoom is incredibly easy. Let's say you're told that you need to go to a Zoom conference that starts in five minutes. You can set yourself up in that time and not be late. With some of these other solutions, you're doing mic checks, interface checks, internet checks, etc. It's easy to set Zoom up right away.

I rate Zoom seven out of 10. Again, I would say seven because of ease of use, how widely available it is, and how easy it is to adapt. But I don't know how well it can work at the large enterprise level. For our normal usage, I think it's solid.

At the same time, I wouldn't present via Zoom unless I had an experienced presenter. You have to keep the audience's attention or use Webex so the presentation is onscreen. When using Teams or Webex, you're sharing screens, so it's a direct kind of thing. In Zoom, you have a camera, and you're presenting. In my experience, it's not a direct-to-screen presentation. It's more of the audience watching you present from a screen. So that requires a little bit more attention. If you're having a town hall or something along those lines, I would say Zoom is the way to go. On the other hand, if you're trying to do something that involves specifications and very minute details, use Teams or Webex.

I use Zoom for having virtual multi-person meetings.

This video conferencing product is easy to use.

You can present your desktop during meetings.

The security needs to be improved.

The ability to encrypt communications would be nice.

I have been using Zoom for a couple of years.

Zoom is stable for the most part. Like any product, there can be issues with instability, but it is adequate for my needs.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

I have used Google Meetings, GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar, Webex, and ON24. I also use Skype or Skype for Business, although I don't like either one.

These days, I mostly use Zoom. It is what I prefer when I need to have multi-person meetings for longer than 40 minutes. I would also say that it is a lot more stable than Webex and GoToMeeting.

The price is $149 USD yearly.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We're a small company, around 65 people. Some are external consultants and the rest are employees. We've been using Zoom since well before the pandemic. I'm the RPA operations manager and we're a customer. 

We're a remote organization, so the ability to have video conferencing is very helpful, both internally and externally with our clients. Not everything requires face to face or video conferencing, but it's nice to have that ability and on the current outlook of the world, I think it's going to be the way to go in the future. 

I like Zoom because you can record your sessions. You have the option to be able to select whether or not your audio is through your laptop or through your phone and you have different recording options. You can record with or without sound. We have the option to use the free 40-minute sessions or to pay for anything longer. One of the benefits of the 40 minute free sessions is that anyone can access them and it's great for short meetings. Also, Zoom recently implemented a Microsoft Office add-in, which means you can now schedule Zoom meetings without having to go into the Zoom app.

The one thing I don't like is that they now require you to have a password for every meeting and when I'm just dealing with my staff, where I want to have a conversation but not necessarily a meeting. I know this was implemented due to security concerns, but I don't necessarily like it or need it for everything. That's the only thing I've come across that I didn't really care for, especially in cases where I'm not really using it for a video conference, but for a conference line. 

Our company has been using this solution for about a year. 

The solution is currently handling hundreds of thousands of people across the country and across the world so it's pretty stable.

There isn't really an issue of scalability as we don't maintain it and each individual contractor or employee downloads their own version. When updates comes through, we'll get a patch or  a new version and they'll be required to upload or install it before they can continue using the solution, like with any other product.

I've never used technical support. 

I like Zoom better than WebEx or Skype. We're dealing with people all over the world, so specifically when we're connecting to Columbia or South America, Skype doesn't hold up well, Zooms' clarity seems to be much better. I think the connectivity of Zoom is better. 

The initial setup is very straightforward and simple - download it and you're off to the races.

I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10. 

I use the solution for personal meetings where I have discussions with outside people.

The solution is easy to set up and use. I feel Zoom is stable for the kind of requirement I have. The solution provides good video quality. Zoom has good screen-sharing and presentation capabilities.

Zoom should introduce AI features that allow you to understand a person's emotions.

I have been using Zoom for many years.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
