Easy setup and an a la carte pricing model
The solution needs a more modern interface. One of our biggest complaints is that we don't have the ability to dynamically push our interface to participants. Adobe Connect is an older technology, but it allows us to push our own layout and design to participants. One of the solution's strengths is that it's web-only but that is also a weakness. It is not a software solution but is browser-based which has its advantages and disadvantages. Zoom has become such a force that its ease of use surpasses ON24.

Unified communication has transformed our collaboration and consistently boosts project delivery
The best features Zoom Workplace Business offers include screen sharing, clear video and audio, online meetings, large-scale events, call management, mobile apps, unified communication platform, and collaboration. The feature I find myself using the most is an AI-powered collaboration platform that is used to streamline communication, increase employee engagement, optimize in-person time, and improve productivity. The screen sharing is very effective and a helpful tool where we are able to screen share with our colleagues and discuss different tasks and project management ideas. Collaboration has become very efficient, and remote working has also become efficient and prevalent in my organization. We have been able to save a lot of time using Zoom Workplace Business. It has been a game-changer. Zoom Workplace Business elevates the experience with Zoom AI Companion included at no additional cost. It is designed to help employees be more productive, collaborate better, enhance their skills, and unlock time savings.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Friendly user interface and simple navigation."
"In general, the solution provides a good experience, the user interface is friendly and from the user perspective, navigation was simple."
"The solution works well with third-party integrations."
"Zoom is stable and I haven't had any problems with it."
"Zoom has helped me with collaboration and remote working."
"The product's most valuable features are chat and video streaming."
"The initial setup was easy for me; you go online and install it and it's done."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"For all of them this is, quite honestly, more user-friendly than WebEx or Teams will ever be."
"The stability is great."
"The product is usable and very straightforward."
 

Cons

"Bandwidth optimization could be increased."
"The solution needs a more modern interface."
"One thing that could be improved is that there is a 5,000 person limit."
"I found it very confusing to set up a meeting."
"I can't speak to any aspect that needs improvement."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"I don't have any particular issues, but I think the user interface could be improved. Previously, I used Microsoft Teams, where the chat, video, and audio options were all easily accessible in one place, making the user experience smoother. In Zoom, it's a bit more manual. For example, we must use external chat options like Slack and manually send the Zoom URL link to initiate a chat. In MicrosoftTeams, you can directly call and chat with someone from the contact list simultaneously."
"There was a situation not long ago when there were some security fears. Some users had somebody else take control of their calls. They might have addressed these issues now, but the security needs to continue to be upgraded."
"While Zoom calls are great for talking and chatting, they often lack follow-up on action items and collaboration. Most of the time, it's just talking and listening without much progress. There's a missing piece in these tools. About 90 percent of those calls could be replaced by other tools that focus more on the deliverables that make a real impact rather than just being another wasted meeting. It doesn't improve collaboration."
"It is difficult to see and control whether you're muted or not, so the interface should be improved."
"It does take up a lot of computer bandwidth, which can slow down performance, especially when I'm sharing screens."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid $1,800 for five webinars, which is the standard fee. If you require support there is a $300 additional fee, extra attendees is an additional fee, integration is an additional fee, etc. All these extras could add on another $2,500 which was not in our budget."
"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."
"The exact costs are handled on a corporate level, however, I understand that if you just want to own a license for your small business or something like that, it's around $300 a year, which is very reasonable."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee."
"I am using the free version."
"The personal version is free. However, there are fees required to use the solution for business."
"There is a yearly license for this solution. I would like it if they offered better prices."
"The cost for Zoom is reasonable."
"We are using the free version of Zoom."
