Good video conferencing but it needs to support third-party hardware
We are using Lifesize for video conferencing and virtual meetings The most valuable feature is video conferencing. This solution needs better platform integration with third-parties such as Microsoft and Cisco. It needs support for third-party hardware as opposed to only Lifesize-branded…

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 most valuable feature is video conferencing."
"Overall, Zoom is a good product because we are using it globally, and it is a good way of connecting with everyone globally."
"I've been on a call with around a thousand students. So, it was quite scalable."
"The biggest advantage with Zoom, compared to other similar products, is the simplicity."
"A good option for online meetings."
"The solution is great it meets all of our needs, most people have the solution, and it is convenient to use."
"Zoom is very smooth whether in one-on-one meetings or group calls with more than one hundred people."
"I would recommend Zoom to others because it's easy and serves its intended purpose well."
"I recommend Zoom for its ability to host webinars and collaborative tools."
 

Cons

"This solution needs better platform integration with third-parties such as Microsoft and Cisco."
"Extra security would be a good added feature."
"Zoom is not a good product for webinars."
"Whiteboarding would allow me to utilize the screen to draw something, explain, and write something."
"Zoom should also include features like the automatic transcribing of conversations."
"Our licensing model prevents us from switching off the meeting recording functionality"
"The product could use some more automation."
"My only concern in Zoom is the stigma associated with being a Chinese product. However, it has been acquired by the US government or a US counterpart has taken over it. There is not any issue with respect to data security. This being said, there is a little bit of apprehension when it comes to the data security aspect. It's better if they give a public statement that we are compliant with the GDPR requirements. It will be helpful for them in promoting their solution in a much better way."
"Could be more flexible for individuals that do not have the economic capacity."
