RITA Conroy-Martin - PeerSpot reviewer
Video library is a great tool and it enables good customization; feels a little antiquated and rusty
I like that recordings are available immediately, it's a great feature. I also appreciate being able to use the video library as a tool, and the integration of an API with other systems we have. We were able to build our own customer portal and then integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface. People thought they were on our platform, but they were using GoToWebinar. Those are unique features that seemed to be very easy for our development team to integrate. I like that aspect of it. It also provides good visibility if somebody had seen a webinar that was useful. It's very easy to push them out. Registration is an easy process as is customization on the back end. We very rarely had technical issues running the webinars so it's a pretty robust platform overall.

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

"I can extract the activity and the attendance reports, along with every single question that was asked during the webinar, which is a feature that we highly value."
"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones."
"The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions."
"We were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."
"All of their features are good. They are more or less equivalent to the competition. There's less disturbance, less jitter, the voice is always good even at a low bandwidth."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The stability has been good overall."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"It is a game-changer for virtual communication, and it is incredibly user-friendly, making it a go-to choice for remote meetings, webinars, and online collaboration."
"There are many valuable features. Security is one – you can lock Zoom meetings when you find that all the participants have joined so that there are no intruders."
"The most valuable feature is push notifications"
"It has efficient security features as well."
 

Cons

"GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."
"The platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it."
"The chat window and using polls is easier in Zoom than compared to GoToWebinar. Make it simpler and easier to publish polls on the fly would improve the solution."
"Some of my friends also use GoToWebinar to collect clients for affiliate marketing. In those cases, they found some features were missing with respect to some of the competition. And the worst part is the price."
"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."
"They should consider increasing the time limits for free users."
"The solution is not very useful for chat and lacks highlighting functionality."
"There must be an option to ask permission from the host to record the Zoom meeting."
"I'd like integration with Outlook to set my meetings. As it is, right now, I have to go to the Zoom app to do that, and after that, export it to Outlook."
"In the free version, you are restricted to just 40-minute meetings, however, it is free, and therefore you can't ask for too much. It's still okay."
"It is important for us to have Zoom integration with our Active Directory environment."
"The video quality of the free version might not be as good as the enterprise edition."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a free solution."
"It is a monthly subscription and the price is quite expensive if you're not paying annually."
"The licensing fees are quite expensive."
"There is a subscription to use the solution."
"There is some basic functionality that's free but if you want to host longer meetings and have more participants, then there is a licensing fee."
"We have subscribed to a package for Zoom and it is a monthly payment."
"Zoom is a very cheaply priced video conferencing solution, and using this product has saved our business a lot of expense."
"Has a paid account for multiple users as well as a free option."
"I am using the free version of Zoom."
"It is reasonable. It has a monthly license."
