Easy to use for our clients and was easy to roll out

I would rate it a nine out of ten. It was really easy to roll it out to our users to implement it to an API. It was very seamless. I don't see any lack of features we need. For the purpose of connecting the client and agent, it works very well. I would like the ability to download or retrieve the call history through APIs. There is no way to download the recordings from the meetings because you can record the meeting. The only way to get the recording from the platform is to log in to my strategic portal and download it manually. There is no way to retrieve the link for downloading the recording through API. I would like to see that in the next release.

Staying connected enhances team collaboration and customer communication

Zoom could be improved as the connectivity can be a little tricky sometimes, and it's not clear when people need to be let in or not. Sometimes there's an issue with changing links to meetings if someone is the organizer and then they're not anymore.When I move from computer to computer, setting it up again is kind of annoying, but I can't say that it takes too long. I think it's a good tool that gets the job done, but I believe there are a few different things that could be improved.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The pros are that it's like a global leader. It has a translation project, which is very interesting and important for our users because the minority of them are not able to read and speak in English."

"I recommend Zoom for its ability to host webinars and collaborative tools."

"Zoom is easy to use and does not consume very much in terms of resources."

"You can have multiple connections so that everybody can interact. You can change your background. If you're in your home and you don't want people to know what it looks like, you can pretty much change the background to any background that you want."

"I would rate Zoom nine out of 10 on a scale from one to ten."

"The overall quality of Zoom is very good, it performs well. The interface works well."

"Zoom is a scalable solution, we have 150,000 people using it in my organization."

"like Zoom because it's a very simple program. We have more success using Zoom with clients, partners, and everybody else. Everybody seems to be able to get Zoom. Some people struggle with Teams."

"The most valuable features of Zoom for enhanced team collaboration are its high video quality, comprehensive meeting features, and reliable performance."

More Zoom pros

Cons

"We have had some problems with stability. A week ago, we had outaging but it has stablized."

"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."

"Excessive software updates can sometimes disrupt my experience."

"I would like to be able to have multiple users open and collaborate on a document at the same time."

"I found it very confusing to set up a meeting."

"Zoom could improve by increasing the time limitation in the free version."

"There were times on the free version where I wasn't done the meeting and it just took me out. They need to give more time."

"Zoom meetings can only have 1,000 attendees. For more than 1,000, you must buy the Zoom Webinar product."

"It is difficult to see and control whether you're muted or not, so the interface should be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I am using the free version, so I don't pay anything to use it."

"In the basic version, there is a 40-minute time limit on group meetings."

"There is a licensing fee and although the price is fair, it can be a little cheaper."

"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Zoom, which is expensive in our part of the world."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The version I am using of Zoom is free."

"I have been using the free version of Zoom."

"The exact costs are handled on a corporate level, however, I understand that if you just want to own a license for your small business or something like that, it's around $300 a year, which is very reasonable."
