Yogesh Kumar Mali - PeerSpot reviewer
A good and decent meeting platform that stores recordings of meetings
We use Zoho Meeting for booking meetings and demo calls for product review updates The most valuable feature of Zoho Meeting is how it stores recordings and how we can get those recordings by order. It may be a network issue, but sometimes the video gets blurred when we are on a Zoho Meeting…
Luiz Kazan - PeerSpot reviewer
Utilizing versatile features for efficient personal and work meetings
Zoom offers a number of interesting and valuable features. One of the most interesting is the ability to share only audio and provide ambient music without sharing a screen. The breakout room feature is much more developed than other solutions, allowing users to stay in the same meeting and move to different rooms and back to the main room. The sharing features are great for projecting people who should be in focus. Another valuable feature is the virtual entrance, which uses a username and password recognized by the Zoom system, showing the person's full name and ID. Additionally, the use of video and a good fixed background improves visibility compared to other applications. These features differentiate Zoom from others.

"It may be a network issue, but sometimes the video gets blurred when we are on a Zoho Meeting video call."
"I would say that Zoom should support more platforms. I think it has some limitations. It should be supported on all platforms."
"Zoom's user interface could be improved. For example, it could have bigger buttons for elderly people."
"The user interface is old-fashioned, especially when there are many participants and a lot of tiles appear."
"The product could use some more automation."
"Zoom could improve by extending the one-hour maximum session time in the free version."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to other solutions, the price is not the lowest, but I can say it's competitive. My organization pays for a yearly license for Zoho."
"The product is not costly like other applications."
"In India, Professional Zoho Meeting for up to 10 participants costs INR 125 per month, and for up to 250 participants, it costs INR 750 per month if billed annually."
"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."
"I am using the free version of the solution. However, it has a time limit of 45 minutes for meetings. We do not have meetings longer than 45 minutes, it is fine for us."
"I am making yearly payments. So, I am paying 250 USD a year."
"The licensing fees are quite expensive."
"Zoom is free."
"Zoom is available with an open license that can support meetings of up to 40 minutes."
"In addition to any licensing fees, we hired Zoom to provide training to us in small groups."
"The solution is affordable."
