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 of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
"It's very beneficial and time effective on how we are able to provide quick support. We've quadrupled our effectiveness as an IT support because we have cut down all that unnecessary travel time, even between floors."
"The solution is a very good tool for monitoring and for remote access. Anyone is able to use it, it is simple to use."
"I have been satisfied with TeamViewer overall."
"The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues."
"The implementation is quite straightforward."
"It's a user-friendly product."
"The product and platform work well. That is why I have stay with them so long. The stability has typically been good."
"I have found Zoom to have all the functions that I need. The solution is easy to use."
"Zoom is pretty safe and secure."
"There have been no stability issues or downtimes."
"Zoom is easy to set up and is a very stable video communications app."
"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."
"The feature I find the most about Zoom is that you can have a private chat in a group call."
"When there is a large number of people involved, I can pinpoint a particular person and I can message him in Zoom, rather than messaging everybody involved. I can directly communicate with that person and I find that feature very useful."
"I've never had to use tech support for it. It just works."
 

Cons

"The support could improve their speed."
"It should have ability to display notes in the computer list."
"The performance could always be better."
"I can use up to three computers, but sometimes I have four. So, it would be nice to have at least four computers."
"The product can sometimes crash."
"The stability of TeamViewer is good, but it could be better."
"I would like it if the trial version of TeamViewer allowed you to have a connection for much longer."
"TeamViewer can improve connectivity. I had some problems connecting to my clients and now I use AnyDesk."
"Zoom's user interface could be improved. For example, it could have bigger buttons for elderly people."
"I think Zoom is not secure."
"Lacks an indicator on chat to show that a message has been read."
"Additional end-user features like polling would be beneficial."
"The video side should be improved, especially if too many people log in at once."
"We have had some quality and lagging issues with video regardless of connection quality."
"There were several instances where we couldn't connect into a meeting just on video and then couldn't even dial-in."
"We are more inclined to work with Microsoft Teams."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price was cheaper than what we were previously paying. At the time that we went with TeamViewer, we were using ShareConnect. The TeamViewer package was about half the cost and able to have a bigger number of users."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"TeamViewer was willing to give us a one-year package. Whereas, a lot of the other companies that we explored were paid by the month or quarter. It's just easier for our finance people at the college if we can make a one-time yearly payment."
"TeamViewer is very pricey. You have to sign up for a yearly subscription."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"It has probably saved us several thousands of dollars because we have quick access anywhere. We don't have to worry about finding people onsite or arranging conference calls. We also save time and money with it because we don't have to send somebody onsite to troubleshoot."
"The price of the license could be less expensive."
"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive. It wasn't easy for me to get approval from the company to get it... It's costing us about $700 a year, per license."
"I am using the free version, so I don't pay anything to use it."
"My organization has a yearly license for Zoom."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable. I think we get discounts as an organization."
"We purchased a license for Zoom."
"It is an inexpensive product."
"Zoom is a very cheaply priced video conferencing solution, and using this product has saved our business a lot of expense."
"Zoom can be used for free."
"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."
