Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Zoom has always been my primary solution. I have used Google Meet a little as well.

The initial setup of Zoom is straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
We install on our own, with one technical individual for deployment and maintenance.

Easy to set up, very reliable, and offers many great backgrounds
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is stable and reliable."
- "The solution could be a bit more user-friendly."
What is our primary use case?
I use the solution for meetings with friends or catching up with friends.
There are also some events I go to, which use to be physical, and now are virtual. There's a public speaking platform, a public speaking course that I participate in called Toastmaster.
I also use the product for work calls with vendors or prospective clients.
What is most valuable?
I enjoy the background options on offer.
The initial setup is straightforward.
The solution is stable and reliable.
The scalability has been good.
What needs improvement?
The solution could be a bit more user-friendly. Microsoft Teams, for example, is easier.
The stability could be a bit better. I find Microsoft Teams to be more stable.
The security could be stronger.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using Zoom for two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is reliable and the performance is good. I've never had stability issues. It doesn't crash or freeze. There aren't bugs or glitches.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
From what I have seen so far, the scalability is good. A company can easily expand it if they need to.
How are customer service and support?
I've never directly dealt with technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be if you needed help.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I'm also using Microsoft Teams. I prefer using Teams, as I'm more used to it and I find it more stable, and also more user-friendly.

What about the implementation team?
The initial setup was handled with the help of my IT team.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
We pay a yearly licensing fee. We have an internal team that deals with licensing, and therefore I can's speak to any extra costs involved.
What other advice do I have?
I'm a generic user. I don't have a business relationship with Zoom.
I am using a current version of the solution.
I would recommend them to use Teams for a professional setup, as it's more stable and more user-friendly. From what I understand, there are more security measures there, since it's a Microsoft product. I prefer that.
I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

Sales Manager IT Solutions at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
Stable and scalable video communications app; reasonably priced and easy to set up
Pros and Cons
- "Zoom is easy to set up and is a very stable video communications app."
- "Nothing extraordinary about this application, as its main use is for connecting with people on the other side of the cloud, but other users could find other Zoom features valuable."
What is our primary use case?
Zoom is used day-to-day like a mobile phone, so you can connect with your audience or customer from the other side of the screen, though there's nothing extraordinary about it.
What needs improvement?
A voice chatting feature could be added to Zoom, and its screen sharing feature could be improved, though some users will find more value in these changes more than I would.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've been using Zoom since the pandemic, so more than two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Zoom is very stable. There are times it isn't as stable, but that could be the fault of your internet connection, not the fault of the application.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Zoom is scalable because they offer different packages. For example, I'm paying for Zoom, particularly a professional license for one person. I only use the professional, personal license, but you can scale up for a team or for an organization and pay for a different license type or package.
How was the initial setup?
Zoom is very easy to set up.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
If I had to rate the cost of this solution with one being the worst and ten being the best, I'll rate it a ten.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I evaluated Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and GoToMeeting.
What other advice do I have?
I'm a partner of UiPath. I'm an implementer and I'm also a user of some of UiPath's products. I don't have hands-on experience with UiPath Process Mining, because here in Mexico, it is not the common. Not all companies have well-implemented ERP software such as SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft, so when you put or connect the process miner, you'll find nothing in the results. I know what a process miner is, but it's not very common here.
I have here Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism, but all the robots work the same, and the only change is the flavor. All the robots have the same capacity and the same level of trustworthiness. The only difference between UiPath and the rest of the competitors is that UiPath's first robot: the Attended Robot, is cheaper than other robots. Its price is the only real difference in the market.
I only specialize in RPA (robotic process automation).
I also use other tools, e.g. web meeting solutions such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams. I have an account in Zoom.
Zoom is deployed on-premises in our organization. It's on-premise: on every laptop and on every desktop.
My usage of Zoom is low, e.g. I just use it to talk with two or three people on the other side of the cloud. I have not used it for other purposes. I know it has a webcast or video webinar feature, and it's not common for me to use that. Other users may see the difference with using Zoom vs another application and be able to mention valuable features of Zoom, but in my case, I'm unable to. I also don't have any idea on what could be improved in Zoom.
I never had to call technical support.
My partner recommended Zoom to me, but when you have to talk or connect with other people, you'll always say to connect through Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, or GoToMeeting. Zoom is recommended by everyone, though, and always comes out of everyone's mouth. Everybody knows Zoom.
My overall rating for this product is an eight out of ten. For its cost, I'll rate it a ten.
I haven't given much thought on how my rating for this solution could increase from an eight to a ten because Zoom's current use for me is just to connect with people and nothing more.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
Disclosure: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The price of Zoom is a bit expensive.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others is for them to evaluate all the options and see which is the best fit with the features they want, such as security, whiteboarding, and remote control. Depending on the combination of features required, some other tool might be better.
I rate Zoom an eight out of ten.

- "I can't speak of any shortcomings. It worked fine."

It was easy to use for screen sharing or sharing applications.

It's easy to set up.
What needs improvement?
I can't speak of any shortcomings. It worked fine.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The product was stable. There were no bugs or glitches. It didn't crash or freeze. The performance was very high.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We didn't experience that much from a scalability point of view. Most of the meetings were team meetings where the number of people connecting was not that high. I cannot verify its ability to scale. We have, however, used it with 20 people at once easily and never ran into issues.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have previously used Skype at the company as well. We do not use it anymore. We also use Microsoft Teams alongside Zoom. However, the company has established Teams as the standard product now.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very straightforward and simple.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I had my license and the company also had a license. I'm not sure how affordable it is for a company, however, they do make it very affordable for individual users.

I'm just a customer and an end-users.
I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten. I was pretty happy with its capabilities. I'd say that it's easy to use on any device and very simple in general. Therefore, I'd easily recommend it to others to try.

Solution Architect & Presales Lead at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
User-friendly, easy to access, and has a nice user interface
Pros and Cons
- "You don't need to be technical in order to use it."
- "Zoom should improve aspects of its security."
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution for virtual meetings.
What is most valuable?
You just need the internet to access it.
As a user, you can just download it. People can send the link and a person can download it very easily. It offers very easy access.
It's user-friendly. You don't need to be technical in order to use it.
The user interface is very friendly.
Everything is plugged right into your browser. It's nice and simple.
The solution is very stable.
What needs improvement?
I've found the scalability to be okay, however, at the same time, it's somewhat limited.
The dashboard is a bit limited, however, it meets our day-to-day requirements.
Zoom should improve aspects of its security.
For how long have I used the solution?
I've used the solution for the last three years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
You can only really have 100 users at a time. That said, for us, it's not an issue. It can scale to meet our needs. We wouldn't go beyond that threshold.
In our company, everyone uses the product, including management.
I'm not sure if there are plans to increase usage. That would be based on a decision made by corporate.
How are customer service and support?
I've never directly dealt with Zoom technical support. We have our own internal IT team. If we run into problems with anything, we turn to them. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful Zoom is if customers have issues.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We have also used Cisco WebEx. We used it about three years ago. My understanding is that WebEx is a bit more secure than Zoom.
How was the initial setup?
The product does not require any installation. It automatically just plugs in, actually. You click on a link and you can start using it.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I'm not sure about the licensing. Our technical team handles these aspects. I can't speak to the exact costs as I don't buy it myself.
What other advice do I have?
I'm just an end-user.
We are using the latest version of the solution. It's cloud-based and therefore always updated.
I'd recommend the solution to others.
I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.
