Easy setup and an a la carte pricing model
The solution needs a more modern interface. One of our biggest complaints is that we don't have the ability to dynamically push our interface to participants. Adobe Connect is an older technology, but it allows us to push our own layout and design to participants. One of the solution's strengths is that it's web-only but that is also a weakness. It is not a software solution but is browser-based which has its advantages and disadvantages. Zoom has become such a force that its ease of use surpasses ON24.

Improved collaboration costs have been reduced while daily stand-ups and events run more efficiently
If I were to discuss how Zoom Workplace Business can be improved, I feel that it is providing good service overall; however, the scaling aspect could be enhanced. Even though it has great scalability, if they can make it even more scalable, it would be really good. Also, while the integration is good, with the growth of AI, advancing the AI part to enable other workflows within the application would be beneficial. Those are some observations from my part, but otherwise, I feel everything is all right. I would love to see advanced AI integrations with major players such as Google and Amazon. Talking about scalability, Zoom Workplace Business is definitely a scalable solution, accommodating up to 1,000 people at once. However, when exceeding that number, the bandwidth may be disturbed and the latency may reduce; I have witnessed that issue occurring during large events, which is why I highlighted this part.

"The screen-sharing capabilities are very good."
"Zoom provides different background screen functionalities for privacy protection."
"Some of the most valuable features are the performance and ease of use. Also, since everyone knows about and is familiar with Zoom, you don't need to teach them how to use it."
"The most valuable features of Zoom are the very stable video and audio, the quality of the voice is good, and it is very easy to connect to the sessions. This is also the reason why we use Zoom."
"The most valuable feature of Zoom is the webinars."
"It's not a big deal to set up a meeting."
 

Cons

"Bandwidth optimization could be increased."
"The solution needs a more modern interface."
"Password requirement for every meeting."
"I can't think of any features that are lacking."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid $1,800 for five webinars, which is the standard fee. If you require support there is a $300 additional fee, extra attendees is an additional fee, integration is an additional fee, etc. All these extras could add on another $2,500 which was not in our budget."
"The cost for Zoom is reasonable."
"The personal version that I was using is available free of charge."
"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."
"I am using the free version, so I don't pay anything to use it."
"We do not incur a licensing fee."
"There is a licensing fee and although the price is fair, it can be a little cheaper."
"As an organization, we are paying a license fee for Zoom. Personally, I use the free version."
"Zoom is a very cheaply priced video conferencing solution, and using this product has saved our business a lot of expense."
