We performed a comparison between Cisco Meeting Server and Zoom based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtual Meetings solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The UI is user-friendly and very good overall."
"You can use the Cisco Meeting Server to set up conference calls and virtual meetings. Those are the two primary functions of Meeting Server. Most people in the company are using Microsoft Teams, so we only use Meeting Server when we have an internal meeting for all staff."
"What I like most about Cisco Meeting Server is its quick management. The solution also has a straightforward configuration."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"Primarily during the period of problematic travel, the solution enabled us to connect with customers, clients and even colleagues and to share our thoughts, ideas and information."
"The product is quite secure and you can use it remotely. I've never heard of there being any security issues."
"There are no restrictions on the number of participants in a single meeting, That is the beauty of Zoom, and it is also very fast compared to others."
"The most valuable feature is that it's free."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The whiteboard capabilities are great."
"Zoom's content shareability and chat support are the most valuable features."
"This is a difficult solution to install and it should be made easier."
"A few features are missing on the Meetings app, like a recording function. My understanding is that you need to buy a separate recording solution. It's modular, so you have to enable some functions if you want to use them. For example, we had to enable the Mood function. Recording is the primary feature we'd like to see in the app."
"What would make Cisco Meeting Server better is integrating it with Zoom and Teams so that you can connect or make a call through any of the two third-party solutions."
"Sometimes can get confused about which password setting or parameter setting to use. 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."
"Zoom could be improved by adding more third-party integrations. They should also work on their virtual backgrounds. I think these could be more professional and creative."
"Zoom lacks dashboards, more could be included."
"The updating feature of Zoom needs to be improved."
"I can't speak to any aspect that needs improvement."
"In the next release, I would like to see an easily accessible bandwidth feature so that you can see how much data you've used on a particular call."
"They should remove any restriction of time."
"If Zoom could be more secure, that would be better. Security is always a highly sensitive matter for everyone today."
