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

"We host 4 webinars a month using Share tools and have reached on some occasions more than 500 participants just by one invitation being shared through social media."
"Our webinar program was floundering, but after I started working with ReadyTalk, we have been able to increase the number of webinars, these webinars have successively attracted higher quality presenters and have become a real marketing tool for our association."
"Using ReadyTalk allows us to provided effective trainings, makes our employees more productive, and safer by keeping them closer to home."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Have been able to help me determine when to use the operator assisted service and even demo-ed this experience for me in order to make more informed decision."
"Within the first 6 months of using ReadyTalk, I have saved over $100K in comparison to using other technologies."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Also excellent."
"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
"We have recovered the 6 to 8 (agonizing) hours a month we used to spend with another platform's tech support."
"The stability of the solution has been good, it has been reliable and extremely consistent, and I can't recall experiencing any bugs or glitches since the solution doesn't freeze or crash."
"The initial setup was easy for me; you go online and install it and it's done."
"The installation was easy."
"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."
"Zoom is a stable solution."
"Zoom Workplace Business offers unlimited time with the business plan, which allows us to keep our Zoom room open all day."
"We use Zoom primarily for virtual meetings and remote assist sessions, where we take over control of somebody's computer."
"The screen sharing feature is valuable. It is easy to set up a meeting if you are on a call with a non Teams user if you need to do screen sharing."
 

Cons

"I wish there wasn't the "arbitrary" 150 people cutoff."
"One great feature they can add is the ability to use animations within your slides."
"Add animation capabilities!"
"The aesthetics are not great."
"I would love to see a lobby that attendees can wait in prior to starting the conference."
"Compared to other webinar platforms, ReadyTalk's pricing is a bit high."
"We'd like the joining process for presenters to be more seamless (and they are working on that)."
"Prices can always be dropped but overall these rates are competitive with other teleconferencing systems."
"The pricing of the product could be lowered a bit."
"The problem with Zoom is the restriction that you have where there are only 45 minutes allowed for a conference, and then you had to log out and start a new meeting."
"Zoom is an immature product that is not yet stable."
"Zoom's audio quality could be improved. I feel like Teams is more reliable because sometimes the audio is patchy on Zoom, whereas I've never had a problem with Teams."
"Sometimes when I try to share my screen in a conference room, I have to click the share button more than once. This happens around fifty percent of the time."
"I'd like to have the recording functionality in the free version so that we don't need any licensing in order to access it."
"They could address the product's limitation of the free version, particularly the 40-minute time constraint on meetings."
"I would like to see support for transferring files."
