Easy to use for our clients and was easy to roll out
I would rate it a nine out of ten. It was really easy to roll it out to our users to implement it to an API. It was very seamless. I don't see any lack of features we need. For the purpose of connecting the client and agent, it works very well. I would like the ability to download or retrieve the call history through APIs. There is no way to download the recordings from the meetings because you can record the meeting. The only way to get the recording from the platform is to log in to my strategic portal and download it manually. There is no way to retrieve the link for downloading the recording through API. I would like to see that in the next release.

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 pros are that it's like a global leader. It has a translation project, which is very interesting and important for our users because the minority of them are not able to read and speak in English."
"The solution offers a free version."
"The high capacity means that you can have a lot of people in the same meeting. I once attended a meeting with approximately 400 people."
"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 using Zoom since the pandemic started. It's actually been a life saving product under the circumstances that were thrust on everybody."
"Zoom is very smooth whether in one-on-one meetings or group calls with more than one hundred people."
"The whiteboard capabilities are great."
"I rate Zoom ten out of ten."
"Zoom is stable and easy to use."
 

Cons

"We have had some problems with stability. A week ago, we had outaging but it has stablized."
"Sound is not an issue, however, with video I've always had issues when using the free service."
"Zoom definitely has to be more secure, but I can't think of any anything else to change."
"It does take up a lot of computer bandwidth, which can slow down performance, especially when I'm sharing screens."
"The tool could be more user-friendly, especially for finding options to present screens."
"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."
"The interface requires some slight improvement in that it could better show the meeting attendees."
"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."
"The stability of Zoom could be improved. I would rate its stability as a seven out of ten."
