What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of Zoom has been good.

Zoom is scalable, we have had meetings with over one hundred plus participants and we did not experience any issues.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex previously.

I have found Cisco Webex to be similar to Zoom in functionality.

How was the initial setup?

The initial implementation is straightforward. It only involves a few clicks.

What about the implementation team?

I did the implementation of Zoom myself.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Zoom has a less expensive subscription than other solutions such as Cisco Webex.

Zoom offers a free and paid version of the solution. The price of Zoom could be less expensive.

This is a good solution compared to others because you are receiving many features at a low cost.

I rate Zoom an eight out of ten.

Efficient solution for virtual meetings
Pros and Cons
  • "The video stream is very cool, and it's an efficient solution."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

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

This is a cloud solution.

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution since 2019.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's scalable.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

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.

How was the initial setup?

Installation is very easy.

What about the implementation team?

We did the installation ourselves.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10. 

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

Fast, easy to set up, and offers meeting recording capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is easy."
  • "I can't speak to any missing features."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for digital meetings. 

What is most valuable?

We usually record the calls, the meetings. It's great for that. The recorded file is very quickly delivered to us.

It's a quick product. It's fast.

It meets my needs. It's good, in general.

The initial setup is easy.

What needs improvement?

I can't speak to any missing features. I just do basic calls and haven't had issues.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've used the solution for a while at this point. We've used it since around the start of the pandemic, or thereabouts.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have found the solution to be stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

When it comes to having meetings or webinars, it's been scalable. It seems to expand to our needs. We've never had any issues. 

How are customer service and support?

I've never had a problem with any of the technology. Therefore, I haven't had a need to contact technical support. I wouldn't be able to rate their services, having never contacted them.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

A few times when I have had calls with WebEx. It's not my primary tool. My primary tool is Zoom.

Previously, we had other tools like GoToMeeting.Since the start of the pandemic, we have been using Zoom.

We currently also use Meet alongside Zoom.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup of the solution is very easy, very straightforward. It's not very complex or difficult.

I'm just a customer and end-user.

We tend to use the latest version of the solution.

I would recommend the solution. I'd advise users to try it out. It's very good.

I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

The breakout rooms are good for training exercise, but we sometimes have connection issues

What is most valuable?

Zoom's breakout rooms are an interesting feature that is quite useful for conducting exercises during training. I don't think Teams has this. I also like the recording capabilities, but that depends on the type of privileges that the user has. Not everybody in the organization has the ability to record. 

What needs improvement?

We sometimes have difficulties connecting, but I never know if it's an issue with Zoom or the network. I would say it's Zoom because we have been working quite a lot from home. However, I would generally say I have not experienced that many issues with Zoom. I'm satisfied.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using Zoom within the company for the past two years or so.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Our organization has around a thousand people, and Zoom is the standard tool we have been using.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Zoom seven out of 10.

  • "Zoom is scalable. We have about 10,000 users at my company."

We use Zoom for internal and external meetings. 

What needs improvement?

Zoom's drawing tools could be better integrated. 

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using Zoom for about two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Zoom is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Zoom is scalable.  We have about 10,000 users at my company. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We used Webex in the past. 

How was the initial setup?

Zoom is a cloud service. I think we only have to pay for the license.

Video access is a great feature that improves communication
Pros and Cons
  • "The product has video access which is a great feature."
  • "Troubleshooting can be complicated."

What is our primary use case?

I've been using this solution for meetings, both within the company and externally with our customers. 

What is most valuable?

I like that Zoom provides video access, which I believe provides for better communication and a more relaxed situation. I know some people don't like it, but I do. I'm not a power user but it suits my requirements and does what I need. 

What needs improvement?

Troubleshooting on Zoom can be complicated. You can get a message: "I can't find your camera." It worked yesterday but it doesn't work today. The problem is that the camera is not available in Windows. It requires Windows troubleshooting skills. Zoom uses what Windows offers and Windows fails to offer the camera. The same holds for audio. If you switch to a different headphone in the middle of a meeting, Zoom can't find it because it's a Windows problem. It usually requires canceling the call, fixing the problem and calling again. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is quite scalable, I can invite up to 50 people onto a call and I can invite 100 people if I have that kind of license. 

How was the initial setup?

I find the initial setup a little awkward. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Licensing costs depend on the number of people per call and the length of calls. There is a standard license for 50 participants that we use. Above that number, you need a special license.

What other advice do I have?

I find Zoom easier to use and easier to troubleshoot than Microsoft Teams so I would recommend it. 

I rate Zoom eight out of 10.

Straightforward to use, good for communication tasks, and offers decent pricing
Pros and Cons
  • "I'm not a really technologically sophisticated user. From my point of view, if I can use it, it's likely very straightforward."
  • "I'd like for there to be more integrations possible in the future."

What is our primary use case?

I primarily use Zoom for conferencing. 

What is most valuable?

I don't have a problem with the pricing. 

I'm not a really technologically sophisticated user. I just use it. From my point of view, if I can use it, it's likely very straightforward. 

It's very helpful for communicating with others.

What needs improvement?

It's hard for me to find where the button is in order to start a call. The setup could be a bit simpler. That's it. Everything else is pretty simple.

I'd like for there to be more integrations possible in the future.

If there was an easy way to share files, that would be ideal.

They could improve their permission settings a little bit.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for one year. It hasn't been that long. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is a bit difficult in that I always have trouble finding the button to initiate the process.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is decent and I don't consider it to be overly expensive. 

What other advice do I have?

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. It's very useful for conferencing and works well, however, there's always room for improvement.

I'm just a customer and an end-user.

While I typically use Zoom to cover my personal needs, my previous employer used Microsoft Teams and I'm pretty familiar with that solution as well. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward and simple. I would rate the process at a five out of five for the level of the simplicity involved. 

The process itself is relatively quick.

What about the implementation team?

I was able to handle the implementation myself. It's not difficult. I did not need outside assistance. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I can't speak to the exact costs of the solution. It's not an aspect I dealt with.

What other advice do I have?

We have web-based access to the service.

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm currently using. 

I would recommend the product to others. 

I'd rate the solution overall at an eight out of ten. It does what I need it to do.
