Zoom Reviews

We use this solution as part of our corporate communications system. I'm principal CTO and we are customers of Zoom. 

It was easy to deploy Zoom and it's a product that was easily accepted throughout the company, even by our management team. Zoom is just very simple for the user and it works regardless of where you are and the device you're using. The ease of integration of the conference rooms for our leadership was probably the most valuable aspect. With WebEx or Teams where you need converters in the middle and things didn't always work, the leadership team was always complaining about those solutions. 

One issue I have is that there is no indicator on chats to let you know whether a message has been read so you're never sure if it's been seen. They could implement something like Whatsapp with the two check marks. I also think that the integration with Microsoft is not as good as it was with Jabber. It's not the end of the world but it could be better. In a similar vein, I think that when it comes to document sharing the integration could be improved.

I think that if your main focus is on communication between team members, especially with people working from home, this is a simple solution. We need to recognize that not everyone is an IT person and we're working with people at all levels in the company, whether they're in the field, the warehouses, or in fabrication. For all of them this is, quite honestly, more user-friendly than WebEx or Teams will ever be.

Based on our use cases, I rate this solution nine out of 10. 

Right now for meetings, we are using Zoom. We use it for video communications. Since the pandemic started we started using Zoom. Our first experience we had a problem with security. We got people bombing the meetings. 

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. COVID-19 is showing us a new way to communicate, that everything doesn't have to be face to face meetings. And so the more you can really understand the capability of the software, the better you are.

It is difficult to collaborate. You have to book a meeting first before being able to do anything. We have had experiences where the meeting has frozen. We had to shut it down and get back on again to keep going. Zoom has privacy issues and also stability issues. I would like to see integrations into other applications. It would be nice to have multiple people be able to collaborate on the same screen.

We have been using Zoom for three or four months. Since the Pandemic started.

I would much rather be using Teams and be able to dial up anybody. With Teams, you can collaborate and share files with anybody. Teams are more dynamic. We have also used Skype.

I would rate Zoom at a five on a scale of 10. I don't think it has all the integration. This is also because of security issues.

I use it for school mostly. I use it for remote meetings with one or more people.

The most valuable features are the video conferencing and the whole invite to set up a meeting is really easy to figure out and use. The chat functions are pretty simple as well.

Zoom needs to address the privacy issues I've heard about. There have been multiple breaches that have made the news. That would be something to address.

I have used Zoom for a year and a half.

Connectivity is surprisingly good. I've had upwards of 90 people on a call and with no issues noticed, and seems pretty easy to manage people, seeing as the host of the call can usually mute everyone.

I would rate Zoom at a nine on a scale of ten.

We use this solution for web conferencing and virtual meetings.

The most valuable feature is ease of use. Both the mobile and desktop versions are user-friend.

This solution has all of the features you want, such as sharing screens or taking action on behalf of the other person.

One of the biggest features of Zoom is its stability.

In the future, I would like to see remote access control for other computers.

Administrators need a lot of training.

We have been using Zoom for almost seven months.

Zoom is very stable and in fact, this is one of its biggest features. At this time, we are using it on a daily basis.

Scalability depends on the user. If you want to use it on a wide range then you have to get training as an administrator so that you can handle it. I would say that it is scalable but you have to know how to do so.

We have approximately 100 users.

We have not been in contact with technical support.

Prior to using Zoom, we used Skype and Webex. I also have experience with TeamViewer.

We switched because Zoom is more stable and Webex requires a good internet connection.

One advantage of TeamViewer is that you have remote access control of other computers.

The setup for an end-user is very easy but an administrator will need a lot of training. The deployment took us one day.

We set this solution up ourselves.

We did not evaluate other options before choosing Zoom.

My advice for anybody who is implementing this solution is to learn how to use it first, before hosting meetings. Otherwise, you will get hassled a lot from the users.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

I use Zoom for virtual meetings.

The standout feature of Zoom is its excellent connectivity, offering high-quality audio and video. Additionally, its familiarity stems from being an early adopter in the field of online communication during the onset of epidemics. Previously, I had used a different system for video conferences in another company, which primarily relied on room-based conferences rather than peer-to-peer video conferencing. However, with the need to communicate directly with peers, Zoom emerged as the first and preferred choice for me. Overall, I consider it the top option and the primary tool I use. Additionally, the solution has all the functionality I need.

In addition to Zoom, I frequently utilize Slack, and I particularly appreciate its huddle functionality. What I find appealing about Slack is the ability to simultaneously chat and have video capabilities. It would be beneficial if Zoom offered similar features integrated with some form of channel system, although I acknowledge that I am not involved in the product management aspect. Personally, I believe this integration would make Zoom even more compelling and engaging for users like myself.

I have been using Zoom for three to four years.

We have had some issues with the connection but this could be my ISP and not the solution.

The scalability of Zoom is good.

We have had a lot of users using the solution in the past.

I have used Webex and Zoom has better quality.

The initial setup of Zoom was not difficult. A corporate account can be more difficult. The time it takes for the implementation is quick, approximately 15 minutes.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Zoom an eight out of ten.

We use Zoom for virtual meetings. We have 250 people in our company using Zoom.

This is a cloud solution.

The video stream is very cool, and it's an efficient solution.

It could be more user friendly, like having permission to share documents quickly with other users.

It's a heavy application that requires a lot of bandwidth. I would like to see Zoom incorporate those features where you can share documents and form teams while still maintaining efficiency.

We have been using this solution since 2019.

The solution is stable.

It's scalable.

Before using Zoom, we used Cisco Webex. Compared to Microsoft Teams, I see Teams as being very heavy. I see it as a solution that was developed in a rush. It's just too heavy if you don't have the bandwidth. It's not as efficient as Zoom.

Zoom gives you the experience of seeing the other person who you are conversing with, even though the person is remote.

Installation is very easy.

We did the installation ourselves.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10. 

I recommend this solution. It's very comfortable and easy to use.

I use Zoom to demonstrate my solution to my clients. We also use it to make external and internal client calls.

We use Zoom Internally, as well as with our clients.

The features are good. I don't have any issues with the features included with Zoom.

Screen Sharing is the most valuable feature in Zoom for me.

The only issue I have is that some clients have difficulty connecting to the audio side of things. It could be user issues.

I have used Zoom off and on for many years.

I believe that we use the enterprise version of Zoom.

I don't have any issues with the stability of Zoom.

Zoom is scalable. 

We don't have more than ten users at once for my purposes. We haven't had to go any further.

I have not contacted technical support directly. Any issues are addressed with my IT team.

Zoom is the only product that I have used since starting with this company.

In the past, I have used GoToMeeting, Teams, Skype, and Webex.

Teams is nice, but it's on the communication platform, you are only using one application. Aside from that, I can't think of any significant pluses or minuses.

To my knowledge, the initial setup appears to be fine. I'm in sales, so I don't set up anything.

I worked for OpenText for 13 years.

In sales, I use what I am given to work with.

I would rate Zoom an eight out of ten.

Most of my organization uses Zoom. I'm in sales and everyone in this department uses it. Tech and sales use a combination of Zoom and Teams. Occasionally, we might use something like a Cisco WebEx when the customer requires it. For example, we deal with federal government clients and intelligence agencies, and they have strict requirements for communications security.

I'm pretty satisfied with Zoom's user interface.

My company uses the Zoom security setting that requires the host to admit users. The host often forgets to do that, so you sometimes have a lot of people sitting out there. It would be nice if Zoom made it obvious that somebody is in the waiting room. Also, Zoom could add the ability to have multiple users share screens.

I've been using Zoom for at least two years. 

Zoom does seem to use a fair amount of resources on your system. If you have other apps open, the audio can get really choppy sometimes if you try to do something else, like send an email. I did not notice this until just recently, so I don't know if this is something Zoom changed or if my system needs to be updated.

I've never had to use tech support for it. It just works.

Before we started using Zoom, we were using WebEx. Quite honestly, I think the reason the company switched was purely political.

I rate Zoom nine out of 10.
