Zoom Reviews

The primary use case of this solution is for video calling, web, and group meetings.

The most valuable feature is push notifications. We use it as a user and Zoom has the option to control the entire meeting with the push notifications. One person can control the entire meeting, which is quite handy for an organizational meeting. 

For personal meetings, the screen-sharing and the quality of the video is great.

The interface is easy to understand, and easy to use.

For those who cannot purchase the ID, they have a time limit of 40 minutes. They should consider increasing the time limits for free users.

I am from India, and here we have students who are using Zoom for their college classes or science classes. If they would increase the video times then it would increase their market size. Once they have more time, they can use it more often and could possibly decide to purchase the paid version.

The backgrounds are a bit dull. I would like to see some improvements made to the backgrounds that are available.

We started using the free version of Zoom a year ago, but only just made the official purchase one month ago.

We have been using the Business Zoom in full for the last month.

It's a stable solution. We don't have any issues connecting.

This solution is scalable.

We have 500 employees who are using it. It is being used extensively in our organization right now as everyone is working from remote locations.

In India, the COVID lockdown is increasing every month. The chances are that we will be increasing our account users.

I have not spoken with anyone in the technical support team. We have our own IT department and go directly to them if we have any issues.

Previously we were using Join Me. The interface was poor and we were having many issues during web calls and group meetings. We switched to using Zoom and the experience has been very good.

We have also used Skype, Skype for Business, and some other tools. Zoom is easier.

I have used Hangouts Meet and when you increase users the video quality deteriorates and you will face many issues.

There is a free version available with time limits.

Depending on the company budget, this would be a great solution to use. It's user-friendly and the video quality is very good. The bandwidth it requires is good, and you can continue with your meetings without any issues.

Compared to other products on the market, this is a very good solution. There are very few options available that have a good interface that is easy to use and understand with good video calling.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We use the solution for all of our internal and external meetings.

The solution is very stable.

The solution can scale easily.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward.

The only thing that I can't get to work well is putting one of those little fancy wallpaper picture screens behind me during meetings so that I don't show my house or the room I'm attending from. Everyone is basically working remotely at this point. It would help to just have a neutral professional background for meetings that's easy to add. It might be helpful if there was a tutorial to walk people through the process of adding a background. It would also be great if they offered more recommended backgrounds on hand to choose from.

We've been using the solution for a year and a half.

The solution is largely very stable. I've only seen one little glitch in Zoom and I don't know if it was from something on our network or Zoom's. That slight glitch happened a few weeks ago. It was only a hiccup, but that was it. That's the only one I've seen. Other than that, there aren't crashes or bugs. It's been reliable, mostly.

It's very easy to scale. If we need to expand the solution, we know we will be able to.

Currently, we have at least 2,200 users on Zoom right now. We extensively use the solution on a daily basis. I use it at least five times a day myself.

We have a central IT team that handles any issues we may have. We wouldn't contact Zoom technical support directly as we would go through them.

The initial setup is straightforward. It's not complex at all.

It's been a year and a half, so I can't recall how long the deployment actually took.

You might only need one person to handle the maintenance, and I doubt if they need to work on it full time. It's pretty low-maintenance.

Our own in-house IT team handled the implementation and configuration for us. We didn't need outside contractors or resellers.

We pay a corporate license for the solution. I don't know the exact pricing on the cost to the company.

We're simply customers of the solution; we don't have a professional business relationship with Zoom.

We're using the latest version of the solution. 

I'm not exactly a technical person, so I am only speaking of my personal non-technical experience.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. It's been great to use so far.

We primarily use the solution for our meetings.

The solution is easy to use.

The solution offers a free version.

I'm not sure if the solution has areas of improvement just yet. I'm still new to the service.

If there are quality issues, I find that it is usually a bandwidth problem, and not related to Zoom itself.

There's a limit as to how many people you can have on a call. They should open this up a bit to include more, if possible.

It would be helpful if the solution had more features for users to take advantage of.

The paid version is quite expensive. There's no middle ground between free and paid.

I've only been using the solution for about three months at this point. It's still rather new to me.

The stability of the solution has been good. I'd say that it's been reliable and extremely consistent. I can't recall experiencing any bugs or glitches. The solution doesn't freeze or crash. It's been great.

I'm not sure how many people are currently using the app at our organization. It's used pretty extensively in the organization, however. I believe there are plans to increase usage in the future.

We've never had to contact technical support, that I'm aware of. They have pretty great online support if users have any questions or need any troubleshooting. There isn't really a need to pick up the phone and call anyone.

I previously used Skype a little bit.

The initial setup was not complex. It was very straightforward. The deployment process was also extremely fast.

We don't need anyone to maintain the solution. There isn't someone in the company that's tasked with "making sure it works". It's pretty low-maintenance in that sense.

I didn't need a consultant or reseller to help me install the product. I handled the implementation myself.

There's a free version and there's an expensive paid version. There needs to be something in between. Something in the middle could have more people using the product.

We use the latest version of the solution. I don't use the solution too much; I just use it if I have to for meetings.

I'd recommend the solution. It's a good product. For quick meetings or for sharing information, it's fantastic.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

The ability to hold remote meetings is helpful.

There is a free version of the solution.

The solution shouldn't charge so much for their services.

I'm always in favor of a lower price. That said, I find there's a big gap between the free version and the professional version. When I looked at what it would cost to be able to get the full version, I said, "Gee, that's too much." If there was something in between the free version and the least expensive paid version, I probably would have paid for it. I would've gone for that. 

They could improve security more. 

They should make it a little bit easier to use, in terms of screen-sharing. One of the problems I have is when I go into a screen-sharing mode, I don't see what the other people see. If I could have my screen synced with what was being shared and me, that would be better.

I've been using it for a couple of years, but my usage, like everybody else's really picked up with the COVID pandemic.

The solution can be pricey.

I do use Zoom, but again, just as an ordinary consumer. I don't have any experience with the high end or professional version.

Normally when I would use it, it would be because some associate or organization I was dealing with was using Zoom in order to reach out to people like me. I didn't even realize until a few months ago, that Zoom charged in order to get a version that was capable of handling more than a few users. I always wondered how they made money.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

My main use for Zoom has been for collaborating with other students, but I also use it for tutoring and for recreational purposes with friends and family. I'm not using Zoom in the workplace but at the university where I study, all the students use it and we meet regularly on Zoom. I've downloaded it to my computer and mobile phone and for now, I'm using it on a daily basis. I would love to work remotely so I would definitely consider using it more. I'm an elementary educator and customer of Zoom. 

Screen share is a great feature. I've used it for recording interviews and then I'm able to refer back to it or download and publish it. Annotating is a very helpful feature and of course the chat is nice if there's a lot going on and you want to talk individually to an individual who's on there. I think it's quite an intuitive solution regarding use and I've had pretty good luck with the quality, so it's just an easy place to have a group gathering.

It seems that lately it takes a while to connect and a long time to load. It would be helpful if that was a little more instantaneous. And then I guess sometimes the sound quality can be a bit of an issue.

I'm not super technical, but it really would be great if the quality could be improved. I'd also like to see the ability to receive alerts when the product is offline, and notifications about upcoming meetings. 

I've been using this solution for almost a year. 

So far it's working. It's very stable for me.

The setup was very straightforward, it took just a few minutes. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

I generally use Zoom for meetings when presenting to potential customers. It's a good way of being able to present information. I own the company and I'm a customer of Zoom. 

It's great that I can see people when I'm talking to them, it's really important to have that feature and to connect to clients. I also like the ability to share graphics; the ability to go through a PowerPoint presentation or share other visuals is very important. Beyond that, I know there are lots of other capabilities that we haven't used very much.

There are sometimes too many parallel meetings going on and the system gets overloaded, somebody drops out or we have to start over again. That's something that could be improved. 

I'd like to see 100% reliability in the solution. I also find that the controls are a little awkward, but that's a minor point. It's really the consistency and the reliability that are the big issues.

I've been using this product for a year. 

It's a stable solution most of the time, but I think it's dependent on the number of users at a given time. Too many users and you can have some issues. 

In general, the solution is scalable although there are occasionally issues when meetings are conducted in parallel and we might lose a connection.

I've made one or two calls to customer support and shared emails with them so it's been quite limited. I got a reasonable response, they were pretty decent.  

I think the main thing I would suggest is to get some kind of assurance that there won't be overload problems. I believe one of my clients has some kind of arrangement or package with them and we've never had a problem on any Zoom meeting with this client. 

I find that I can have more meetings and greater effect using Zoom. I've had many live meetings and conference calls over the years. It's difficult to connect with clients on a conference call. Zoom makes meetings as effective as a live meeting or close to it.

I'd rate this solution an eight out of 10. 

I use Zoom for having virtual multi-person meetings.

This video conferencing product is easy to use.

You can present your desktop during meetings.

The security needs to be improved.

The ability to encrypt communications would be nice.

I have been using Zoom for a couple of years.

Zoom is stable for the most part. Like any product, there can be issues with instability, but it is adequate for my needs.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

I have used Google Meetings, GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar, Webex, and ON24. I also use Skype or Skype for Business, although I don't like either one.

These days, I mostly use Zoom. It is what I prefer when I need to have multi-person meetings for longer than 40 minutes. I would also say that it is a lot more stable than Webex and GoToMeeting.

The price is $149 USD yearly.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We're a small company, around 65 people. Some are external consultants and the rest are employees. We've been using Zoom since well before the pandemic. I'm the RPA operations manager and we're a customer. 

We're a remote organization, so the ability to have video conferencing is very helpful, both internally and externally with our clients. Not everything requires face to face or video conferencing, but it's nice to have that ability and on the current outlook of the world, I think it's going to be the way to go in the future. 

I like Zoom because you can record your sessions. You have the option to be able to select whether or not your audio is through your laptop or through your phone and you have different recording options. You can record with or without sound. We have the option to use the free 40-minute sessions or to pay for anything longer. One of the benefits of the 40 minute free sessions is that anyone can access them and it's great for short meetings. Also, Zoom recently implemented a Microsoft Office add-in, which means you can now schedule Zoom meetings without having to go into the Zoom app.

The one thing I don't like is that they now require you to have a password for every meeting and when I'm just dealing with my staff, where I want to have a conversation but not necessarily a meeting. I know this was implemented due to security concerns, but I don't necessarily like it or need it for everything. That's the only thing I've come across that I didn't really care for, especially in cases where I'm not really using it for a video conference, but for a conference line. 

Our company has been using this solution for about a year. 

The solution is currently handling hundreds of thousands of people across the country and across the world so it's pretty stable.

There isn't really an issue of scalability as we don't maintain it and each individual contractor or employee downloads their own version. When updates comes through, we'll get a patch or  a new version and they'll be required to upload or install it before they can continue using the solution, like with any other product.

I've never used technical support. 

I like Zoom better than WebEx or Skype. We're dealing with people all over the world, so specifically when we're connecting to Columbia or South America, Skype doesn't hold up well, Zooms' clarity seems to be much better. I think the connectivity of Zoom is better. 

The initial setup is very straightforward and simple - download it and you're off to the races.

I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10.
