Featured Reviews

Steve Abshire - PeerSpot reviewer
It features low latency, which is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work.
Using GoToMeeting in a meeting-sized conference room is kind of a letdown. The camera is supposed to track the speaker and focus on that person so that they can be on the screen. That feature rarely worked. We tested it thoroughly, so maybe it was an issue with the size of the conference room. It may not be suitable for large conference rooms.
Luiz Kazan - PeerSpot reviewer
Utilizing versatile features for efficient personal and work meetings
Zoom offers a number of interesting and valuable features. One of the most interesting is the ability to share only audio and provide ambient music without sharing a screen. The breakout room feature is much more developed than other solutions, allowing users to stay in the same meeting and move to different rooms and back to the main room. The sharing features are great for projecting people who should be in focus. Another valuable feature is the virtual entrance, which uses a username and password recognized by the Zoom system, showing the person's full name and ID. Additionally, the use of video and a good fixed background improves visibility compared to other applications. These features differentiate Zoom from others.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's easy to set up."
"It works, it's reliable."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"I think all the features are very useful, especially the rooms features and we present with screen sharing. Instead of organizing conferences, we are able to do that online. This has been saving us from spending on travel. From the beginning of this year, because of GoToMeeting, I have canceled I think three or four business trips."
"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 overall quality of Zoom is very good, it performs well. The interface works well."
"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 most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"It was easy to use for screen sharing or sharing applications."
"There are many valuables features of Zoom. The visibility is very good. The ability to see everyone that is talking and the indication spotlight of who the primary speaker is helpful. The solution is interactive, the participants are able to raise their hand, comment, give gestures, such as thumbs up or down."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"Zoom is easy to set up meetings, and the features work well."
 

Cons

"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"In the next release, I would for it to incorporate files more efficiently from one computer to another when we covert things and send them out. I'm not sure if it's capable of that."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"The only issue I have is that some clients have difficulty connecting to the audio side of things."
"The tool must enhance the features it provides."
"I would like to be able to have multiple users open and collaborate on a document at the same time."
"In the past, there were some sound connectivity issues where I would get sound and no picture, and then picture and no sound."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
"It takes time to acclimate end users to the product."
"The solution could be a bit more user-friendly."
"The security and chat features should improve in Zoom."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"The solution's pricing is good."
"Zoom is licensed as a subscription model and it is available on a monthly or yearly basis."
"I am using the free version of Zoom."
"In addition to any licensing fees, we hired Zoom to provide training to us in small groups."
"There is a yearly license for this solution. I would like it if they offered better prices."
"The version I am using of Zoom is free."
"I am making yearly payments. So, I am paying 250 USD a year."
"We do not incur a licensing fee."
