Zoom Reviews

We use Zoom for meetings and patients get to see people, such as relatives who are in foreign countries.

We have some long-term care patients and they were able to use Zoom to talk to their relatives without having them come in to visit. This was beneficial during the Covid pandemic.

Zoom is easy to use and does not require much network bandwidth. Additionally, it does not require a lot of configuration which is very good.

It is a very simple product, the client launches well from the web browser, and it doesn't have a large number of features, but it doesn't really require it.

The security of the solution could improve.

I have been using Zoom for approximately three years.

The stability and reliability of the Zoom have been good. However, our systems have good bandwidth and I am not sure how it would operate with low bandwidth.

The scalability of the solution is good.

We have approximately 125 users using the solution in my organization.

I have never needed to contact support.

We have previously used WebEx. We pay for WebEx, but the product seems to be really configuration-heavy. It has better security, but it requires a lot of administrative work on our side. You have to configure a huge amount of ports and sites for the firewall, whereas, in Zoom, you don't have to do that much configuration.

The setup is simple and there is no maintenance required.

We are using the free version of Zoom.

My advice to others wanting to implement this solution is to make sure the ports are open for access.

I rate Zoom a nine out of ten.

I rate Zoom a nine because it's easy to use and setup doesn't require someone with technical knowledge to run it. I guess the interface is pretty intuitive because we haven't had any calls from the users once we opened it up.

Zoom is used for virtual meetings. Additionally, we use it for chatting, sending files, and voice messages in our organization.

When anyone installs Zoom for organizational purposes, then it's fine because all the safety and protection is taken care of by the organization. However, when it's done on a personal basis the terms and conditions, you are not secure.

I have been using Zoom for approximately two years.

I have found Zoom to be stable and it has good performance.

Zoom is scalable. The solution is used by our whole organization and the number of people using it is approximately 250,000.

I have never encountered any issues to contact support.

The installation is straightforward.

I did the installation myself.

The personal version is free. However, there are fees required to use the solution for business.

I rate Zoom an eight out of ten.

I'm using Zoom for virtual meetings. 

I would say that Zoom should support more platforms. I think it has some limitations. It should be supported on all platforms.

There are no restrictions on the number of participants in a single meeting, That is the beauty of Zoom, and it is also very fast compared to others.

I've been using Zoom for maybe a year or two.

Zoom is very fast and reliable. 

We are using Webex sometimes to talk to our clients. We are using Webex.0

Zoom is very easy to install. It only takes about five minutes.  

I rate Zoom eight out 10. I would definitely recommend it 

We primarily use the solution for virtual meetings.

The solution is simple to use. Anyone can use it. The product offers a free version as well as an enterprise version.

During the lockdown pandemic situation, every other person was using Zoom. Even most of the schools and education customers, have been using Zoom only, and they are using the free version. Some are using the enterprise version as well. Even students find it user-friendly. There are not many things to configure. 

The solution is stable.

The scalability is very good.

My end-user experience has been very positive.

The product is quite secure and you can use it remotely. I've never heard of there being any security issues. 

The installation is very straightforward.

I haven't looked into the potential to integrate anything into this product. I'm not sure if that's possible. 

The product could use some more automation. We'd like it if there was a particular API that could be connected with other applications so that I can create a ticket and have a Zoom meeting sent and automatically start. 

We've been using the solution for about a year or so.

We have found the product to be stable. there are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance is good. 

The scalability potential is excellent. If a company needs to expand it, it can.

We currently have 20 users on the solution, however, we have a client that has well over 100 users. Just the technical team uses it. There are engineers and managers that use it.

I've never directly dealt with technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they might be.

We've also used Cisco Webex and Skype for Business. We use Zoom and Skype for meetings. WebEx we haven't used in a while. 

If you go for Webex or something like that, it has its own infrastructure at times and other things are there. Plus, the licensing is heavy. For Zoom, it is not like that. It is pretty simple and handy. In Cisco, there are many options available, however, you have to configure some of the settings and you need to know the licensing structure at the time of installation. It's more complex.

We found the implementation process to be very simple. It's not overly complex. The first-time installation took me one or two days to complete with the fine-tuning and everything that was involved. 

We're able to handle implementation ourselves. We didn't need any assistance with any outside help like consultants or integrators. 

The solution requires a subscription-based license. You can also use the free version of the solution, which doesn't cost anything. However, it doesn't have all of the features.

The pricing is reasonable, especially if you compare it to other solutions on the market.

We're a customer and an end-user of Zoom.

As it's a cloud-based solution, we are using always the latest version.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

I'd recommend it to other users.

I use the solution for meetings and calls. 

In Zoom, I don't have a preference for any of the features. If you know the application well, then you can use all the features. I'm using most of the features, including file sharing and sharing screens. 

The possibility for chat is very handy sometimes. The chat is very useful due to the fact that sometimes you have to run formulas and those kinds of things and to pronounce it is not enough. You have to write it down so that the person or people can see exactly what the formula is.

The whiteboard capabilities are great.

I use Zoom not so much for business, due to the fact that the problem with Zoom is the restriction that you have where there are only 45 minutes allowed for a conference, and then you had to log out and start a new meeting. 

They should remove any restriction of time. Sometimes the time that you planned for the meeting is not enough. Sometimes it goes more than an hour, an hour and 10 minutes. 

That said, they may have already fixed this issue.

When you start the Zoom meeting, at first, it didn't start directly, the meeting. It'd go to the web browser, then it asks you to open the zoom application. After it opens, then you can start. That it's a little bit too much of a problem for beginners. It would be easier and more user-friendly if you can go directly to the meeting without the hassle of starting up and waiting. It could just be a bit more user-friendly. 

The problem originally was that when Zoom started, they had most of the market. The problem that they had, is that with the COVID pandemic, a lot of people started using conferencing solutions and you had a paid version and a free version. The paid version had more features than the free version. That was confusing for people. They said, “okay, why do I have to pay for certain features?” A lot of people I know looked for free versions and there were other free versions. For example, I use Whereby also, and Whereby does all the things that Zoom can do.

The solution is stable.

I know a lot of IT, and therefore, most of the things that come up I can fix and if I can't fix it directly, I go and I look on the internet for solutions. If I run into a problem, I'm not the first person that has run into the problem. I look for a solution myself. Most of the time I get the solution. I don't deal with technical support.

I use Zoom, MS Teams, and Google Meet. 

I also use Whereby, which is free to use.

I used MS Teams first, then Zoom. I use MS Teams due to the fact that I have a Microsoft account and a Microsoft company account. I started using Zoom when a lot of people started using Zoom. Using MS Teams is more difficult than using Zoom. 

I am tech-savvy. I'm not afraid to use applications and I can understand the logic behind the application. That said, I know that non-tech-savvy people had problems with starting up the Zoom meeting. The typical user doesn't understand the logic that's behind it. When you start it on the web, it's supposed to work directly on the web and not go to the application that is on your desktop and launch that. That is something that I can understand, however, it is not logical for people who are not accustomed to using IT so much.

All that is to say that, for me, the initial setup is not complex, however, I'm not an average user. I work daily with 10 or 12 applications. I switch from one to another. For me, it's not difficult. For non-technical people, it might be.

The deployment is fast and only takes a few minutes. It's maybe ten minutes or less.

I'm using a personal account, which is free. To use a company account, I have to go to the administration and fix that they pay the year account. I don't want to go through all of these procedures and all the hassle. That's the reason I use a personal account.

I'm using Zoom on occasion. It depends on what the person I will have a conference with wants to use. I am flexible. I use various solutions. I pick the one that is better for the other side.

I tend to use the most up-to-date version of the solution.

I'd advise users to use the solution as it's a good product. In the beginning, it scared me off because as there were a lot of rumors about privacy. For a few months, I didn't use it until I knew that they had fixed that problem. Now security is fine.

I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

I primarily use the solution for client meetings. In most cases, our customers are government customers. They're using the government version of Zoom.

The user interface is fine.

I don't have any issue with the pricing.

The technical support is okay.

It does offer collaboration. You can share your screen. 

I'm not sure how good the solution is for file sharing. However, that might not be the type of functionality you need for this type of project.

I don't know whose product is at fault, however, if you've ever had to go from Zoom to Teams to WebEx, it really messes around with your device settings. In the case of my microphone, I may have a USB microphone, and all of a sudden I'm using the microphone in my camera. Or my speakers, if they're plugged into my laptop, now all of a sudden those don't work. That's something that's kind of annoying. However, that might not be the fault of Zoom.

I haven't had any issues with technical support.

The company mainly uses Microsoft Teams. I only use Zoom for when a customer wants to have a meeting and they need to use Zoom.

We used to use WebEx, however, we don't really use it anymore. 

The pricing of the solution is fine.

I'm just an end-user.

I'd probably rate the solution at a seven and that is only due to the fact that we're a Microsoft shop, and we have a lot of Office 365. Our use of Teams is very integrated into the files that we create and store and access. Therefore, Zoom is not the most used product in our company.

I am using it for virtual meetings. I have its latest version.

It is very easy to use. The utilization of the network is very good.

I have had some performance issues in GPU lately.

If Zoom added the feature of Zoom Phone so that I can use it as a phone, it would be much better.

I have been using this solution for a couple of years.

It is stable, but lately, I have had some performance issues in GPU.

It is scalable.

It is very easy. It is a very small application.

I did it myself.

I would recommend Zoom depending on the circumstances of the customers, such as their current subscription and so on. For example, if you have a Microsoft subscription, then why not use Teams? 

I would rate Zoom an eight out of 10.

I use Zoom for virtual meetings.

Zoom could improve by having more tools.

I have been using Zoom for a few years.

The solution is very stable.

I have not needed to contact the technical support of Zoom.

The installation was straightforward and only took a few minutes to do on my laptop.

Zoom is free to use.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Zoom an eight out of ten.
