Easy to use, maintenance-free, and it's reliable
Pros and Cons
  • "Zoom did everything that we needed it to do."
  • "In summary, this is a good video conferencing solution and although I don't use it much anymore, it worked and did everything that we needed it to."
  • "It would be helpful if Zoom could integrate with our medical systems."
  • "The pricing is too high. The cost of the license could be cheaper."

What is our primary use case?

We use Zoom for video conferencing.

I don't personally use it much anymore because the company, in general, prefers Microsoft Teams. However, we have a behavior and health group that still uses it.

What is most valuable?

Zoom did everything that we needed it to do.

What needs improvement?

It would be helpful if Zoom could integrate with our medical systems.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Zoom since the pandemic began, approximately two years ago.

This is a pretty solid product and we haven't had any problems with it.

How are customer service and support?

Good call quality, facilitates collaboration, and good technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "The collaboration features are good."
  • "In summary, this is a good product and I think that they are doing well with keeping it up to date in terms of features."
  • "The cost should be cheaper."
  • "The licensing fees are quite expensive."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use Zoom for internal communication.

What is most valuable?

The quality of the calls and usability are good features.

The collaboration features are good.

What needs improvement?

The cost should be cheaper.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Zoom for between two and three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We use Zoom almost every day and I haven't had any problems with the connection.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

For us, scalability has been good. Everyone in the organization uses it and we have approximately 700 people.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is quite straightforward.

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

The licensing fees are quite expensive.

What other advice do I have?

In summary, this is a good product and I think that they are doing well with keeping it up to date in terms of features.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Simple to use, helpful virtual backgrounds, and meetings can host a lot of people
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "Zoom is the most stable of these solutions that I have tested over the past three years."
  • "The chat functionality that is included is always in plain text, and you cannot change fonts by making them bold or italic. It's a very plain and basic chat."

What is our primary use case?

Zoom is the product that we usually use for virtual meetings.

How has it helped my organization?

Having virtual meetings with Zoom makes life easier these days.

What is most valuable?

Zoom is quite simple to use.

The virtual backgrounds are very useful because you can participate in a video conference from anywhere, and you do not have to show other people where you are.

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.

What needs improvement?

The chat functionality that is included is always in plain text, and you cannot change fonts by making them bold or italic. It's a very plain and basic chat. That said, other similar solutions that I have used, including Microsoft Teams and BlueJeans, have the same limitations. They put a lot of effort into video conferencing but they seem to forget about the chat feature inside the tool.

It would be helpful if there were tabs available inside the meeting, where you could chat with people privately. As it is now, it's not very easy to do. Having tabs would allow you to have multiple conversations open for text chat during a meeting.

Also, when you want to chat with somebody, a search feature should be available. If you have to select the user and if there is a list of 300 people in the same meeting, it's difficult to find the person that you want to reach. Being able to search for them would be helpful.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Zoom for approximately three years. My company switched to it just before the pandemic, perhaps in July or August of 2019.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

With Zoom, I've never had any problem with stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It seems that this solution is very scalable. I participated in a company meeting with approximately 400 people, all at the same time. Everybody in the company has a Zoom account.

How are customer service and support?

In the beginning, we had contact with Zoom for training. Beyond that, at least in my experience, I have never had to contact technical support.

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

I use other platforms for meetings, including Microsoft Teams and BlueJeans, depending on what the customer is using. When I arrange a meeting, it is always done using Zoom. However, if I attend a meeting organized by another person then I have to use the platform that the client is using.

Zoom is the most stable of these solutions that I have tested over the past three years.

How was the initial setup?

I am just a user and downloaded the client in order to use it. The initial setup is very easy from the user's perspective. You press the Next button on several screens and it's finished.

What about the implementation team?

I installed it on my own.

Very little maintenance is required. When a new version is released, the solution informs you and then asks whether you want to download and install it. You can say Yes or No, depending on how much of a hurry you are in to attend the next meeting. From a client perspective, the update process is very easy to follow. You press the Next button several times, and it retains the configuration that you had. You don't need to re-sign in.

It seems quite easy and overall, it is the easiest solution that I have used.

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

In addition to any licensing fees, we hired Zoom to provide training to us in small groups.

What other advice do I have?

In summary, this is a good video conference solution and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Easy to use and has nice features for virtual meeting rooms
Pros and Cons
  • "This is the easiest product to use for videoconferencing."
  • "Overall, I really like Zoom and it has everything that we need."
  • "I like to see the whole screen and sometimes, it is difficult to hide the speaker's picture or my own picture from the forefront of the Zoom screen."

What is our primary use case?

I primarily use Zoom for webinars and virtual classes.

At the beginning of the pandemic, we started using Zoom for work. After some time, we switched to Microsoft Teams for that purpose. We talk to our providers using Zoom but it is not common.

This is deployed in a Linux environment.

What is most valuable?

I like the virtual meeting rooms in this product. They are very good and have very nice features.

This is the easiest product to use for videoconferencing.

What needs improvement?

The interface could use some improvement. I like to see the whole screen and sometimes, it is difficult to hide the speaker's picture or my own picture from the forefront of the Zoom screen.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Zoom for approximately two years, since 2019.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Zoom is a very stable product.

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

I did not use another similar product prior to Zoom.

I also use Microsoft Teams. We changed to Teams for work but I still use Zoom here and there.

How was the initial setup?

Downloading and installing Zoom was very easy to do. It did not take a long time.

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

I use the free version of Zoom that is available for download.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I really like Zoom and it has everything that we need. The only complaint I have is about the interface.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Much better and more reliable than Microsoft Teams and WebEx, but has occasional problems with latency, audio or visual quality
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is much better and more reliable than Microsoft Teams or Webex."
  • "There are occasional latency, sound and audio quality difficulties."

What is our primary use case?

I use my Mac to conduct Zoom meetings with those who are interested, which runs on my browser. 

What needs improvement?

I have come across the run of the mill issues which someone would expect to find with these communication solutions. There are occasional latency, sound and audio quality difficulties. 

The solution is good, but it's not perfect.

A big feature I wish to see would involve the ability to attach documents while conducting a session. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Zoom for around a year-and-a-half.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The solution is much better and more reliable than Microsoft Teams or Webex.

I am not the one in charge of the decisions. People, such as recruiters and hiring managers, are the ones who make the decision to conduct a one-on-one meeting. Nowadays, these things are done remotely and the people, at turns, may specify Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Webex. This can vary. I deal with all of these solutions. 

What other advice do I have?

I believe that Zoom is deployed in the cloud.

We provide software as a service.

I rate Zoom around a seven out of ten.

Highly reliable, easy to set up, and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "My advice for anybody who is implementing Zoom is that it seems really straightforward."
  • "I have had the occasional problem with the connection and stability."

What is our primary use case?

I use Zoom mainly for meetings with colleagues or speaking with other people in the organization. I also use it to speak with people at my old job.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is its reliability.

What needs improvement?

I have had the occasional problem with the connection and stability.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have had problems with the connection but not very often.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I think that it is scalable. Everything that I have needed it for has been okay.

In this organization, everybody uses it. There are between 40,000 and 50,000 students and approximately 10,000 faculty. It’s a lot of users.

How are customer service and support?

I have not had to contact technical support for anything.

How was the initial setup?

Zoom is definitely easy to set up.

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

The personal version that I was using is available free of charge. A subscription service is also available.

What other advice do I have?

My advice for anybody who is implementing Zoom is that it seems really straightforward. It's easy to set up and easy to use.

Other than a few connection issues, I haven’t had any problems with it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

It doesn't require any IT skills or use up a lot of bandwidth
Pros and Cons
  • "Zoom is incredibly easy to install. You can download it immediately on a mobile phone or go to the website. You don't need a lot of IT skills to get it running."
  • "Compared to Skype and Teams, Zoom is missing one feature, and that's the ability to call people. In Teams, I can call anyone I want. It's like a telephone. I can do the same on Skype, but I have to send a link in Zoom."

What is our primary use case?

I've used Zoom personally and professionally. We use it for virtual meetings and presentations for management or customers. We use Zoom or Teams for anything that requires a group discussion.

What is most valuable?

Zoom is nice. It does not consume a lot of internet bandwidth.

What needs improvement?

I want Zoom to be integrated with virtual or intelligence boards. This would be useful when you are giving lectures.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using Zoom for three or four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Zoom is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have a maximum of 50 users now.

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

I used Skype before Zoom.

How was the initial setup?

Zoom is incredibly easy to install. You can download it immediately on a mobile phone or go to the website. You don't need a lot of IT skills to get it running.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Compared to Skype and Teams, Zoom is missing one feature, and that's the ability to call people. In Teams, I can call anyone I want. It's like a telephone. I can do the same on Skype, but I have to send a link in Zoom. They click on the link and contact me. If I'm driving, I can't just click on one of my team in Zoom.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Zoom nine out of 10. It's great software. I would recommend it.

It has integrated scheduling with our email platform
Pros and Cons
  • "Zoom works fine, and its interface is easier to use than, for example, Teams, which is the other tool I would compare it to. It's also easy to schedule Zoom meetings through Outlook."
  • "The other thing I would add is maybe noise reduction. That could be improved. Everyone nowadays is working from home, so sometimes we hear the dog and stuff like that."

What is our primary use case?

We use Zoom for company meetings and calls with customers. We also use it for presentations. In my previous job, I used it to conduct webinars, but not anymore. Sometimes, we use it for product demonstrations in the lab.

What is most valuable?

Zoom works fine, and its interface is easier to use than, for example, Teams, which is the other tool I would compare it to. It's also easy to schedule Zoom meetings through Outlook. It just works. We've never had issues with hearing someone or not being able to see the screen or anything like that.

What needs improvement?

I'm not an advanced user, so I don't have any detailed criticisms. I don't even know if Zoom has this already, but it could add some tools to design and draw on the screen whenever we are doing a whiteboard presentation for the customer. Zoom could have a built-in whiteboard. That would be a good feature for tools like this. The other thing I would add is maybe noise reduction. That could be improved. Everyone nowadays is working from home, so sometimes we hear the dog and stuff like that. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Zoom for at least seven or eight years now.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would say Zoom is very stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I would say we've never had a situation where we couldn't add someone else to a Zoom call due to limitations. Nowadays, with the pandemic, I would say at least 90 percent of the company's 20,000 employees use it because most people are working from home. Next year, fewer people will probably use it because many people are going back to the office. 

I'm don't see a reason for usage to increase. If anything, it's going to decrease a bit because a lot of our internal meetings are going to happen in the physical office. However, maybe not all of our customers will return to the office. We'll still be using it, but it will depend on the customer. We are going to visit some physically at their offices.

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

It wasn't my decision to go with Zoom. I'm just a user, and it is usually the corporate leadership's decision. At my previous company, we worked with Webex. They just switched to Zoom, and we didn't know why. It was probably a price issue or something like that. In my current company, we have both Zoom and Teams. Some customers prefer using Teams but others prefer using Zoom. 

How was the initial setup?

My company has a framework that takes care of it. It's a tool called Workspace ONE. All we do is log in to our computer. We call Zoom, and if it's not installed, Workspace ONE takes care of it. It's pretty transparent.

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

We're using the paid version of Zoom.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Zoom nine out of 10. Nothing is perfect, but it's a solid tool that works great most of the time. It does what it says it should do.

Has an easy setup
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is easy to set up."
  • "Non-technical support should be improved, such as that involving invoicing."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for Webex, town hall, chatting and Teams. 

What needs improvement?

Non-technical support should be improved, such as that involving invoicing. I cannot think of anything offhand to improve regarding services. 

I would like to see avatars included in the next release. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Zoom for three years

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

How was the initial setup?

The solution is easy to set up. 

What other advice do I have?

As Zoom is quite good, I rate it as a ten out of ten.

Mature platform, easier to install than some competitors
Pros and Cons
  • "Another advantage of Zoom is that it is easier to link a person that is not a Zoom user than it is with WebEx."
  • "One of the most valuable advantages of Zoom is that it is a bit easier to install than Microsoft Teams or WebEx by Cisco, for example."
  • "We have had some quality and lagging issues with video regardless of connection quality."

What is our primary use case?

My primary use case for Zoom is for contacting clients, suppliers, and even colleagues. We were working at a distance with some people.

What is most valuable?

One of the most valuable advantages of Zoom is that it is a bit easier to install than Microsoft Teams or WebEx by Cisco, for example. Another advantage of Zoom is that it is easier to link a person that is not a Zoom user than it is with WebEx.

Overall, Zoom is a very mature platform. The only issues and glitches we have every had with it were related to Wi-Fi quality. For example, we can run into problems when a colleague is working on a low-quality Wi-Fi connection. Also, we try to use headsets in our meetings and this can create a problem, but that again is not an issue with the platform itself. 

What needs improvement?

We have had some quality and lagging issues with video regardless of connection quality. We would experience things like poor audio quality or a choppy connection, but that was with older versions of Zoom. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I started using Zoom 10 years ago. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Zoom is fairly stable.

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

We pay a per-seat monthly fee for keeping the license.
