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

"The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions."
"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones."
"We were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."
"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."
"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."
"Zoom has become a straightforward solution and is valuable for various meeting types."
"The most valuable features of Zoom are quick connectivity, screen sharing, and quick response."
"The product is quite secure and you can use it remotely. I've never heard of there being any security issues."
"I have found Zoom to be stable and it has good performance."
"There are lots of great features available to every user."
"Zoom is very smooth whether in one-on-one meetings or group calls with more than one hundred people."
"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."
"The most valuable features for me are the spotlight feature and the ability to share video with audio, which some other platforms, like Microsoft Teams, lack. We use it to present sessions and teach end customers or users."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."
"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."
"The platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it."
"I find while using Zoom sometimes there is a lot of disturbance while on the call. There is a lot of network issues, and sometimes the screen freezes, and you have no way of figuring out what went wrong. You have to restart the computer all over again, or you lose some of the words that someone was saying during the meeting, such as what the person is trying to say in the midst of that conversation. Additionally, there have been times it has disconnected and was not able to start."
"Zoom could be improved as the connectivity can be a little tricky sometimes, and it's not clear when people need to be let in or not."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The only limitation in Zoom is related to the time limit for a call, which is about 40 minutes."
"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."
"There is insufficient customization."
"The main issue with Zoom is its adoption in the business world compared to platforms like Teams."
"Zoom definitely has to be more secure, but I can't think of any anything else to change."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a free solution."
"Zoom can be used for free."
"For personal use, I use the free version of Zoom, so I haven't paid anything."
"There is a licensing fee and although the price is fair, it can be a little cheaper."
"The solution's pricing is good."
"Zoom is free."
"Zoom is free."
