What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I'd rate Zoom's stability as ten out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

For scalability, I'd rate Zoom nine to ten out of ten. My company has 700 users. We don't plan to increase usage as we're close to our license limit.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Before Zoom, we used Microsoft Teams but switched due to limitations with large audiences and a lack of features.

How was the initial setup?

I'd rate the initial setup about seven out of ten for ease. We deploy Zoom on the cloud, which takes about five to six minutes to install. It's a simple process of running an executable file with a few clicks. We don't need additional settings or many people for maintenance.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is affordable. 

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I would rate Zoom a ten out of ten.

It would be great if Zoom could continue to enhance all of its features to keep up with other solutions on the market. The free version of Zoom could be improved and offer more functionality. We would also like to have whiteboard and drawing functionality.

We have used this solution for three years.

Good communication and performance, but the time limit in the free version should be removed or increased
Pros and Cons
  • "The sharing and recording, are the most valuable features of Zoom."
  • "Whiteboarding would allow me to utilize the screen to draw something, explain, and write something."

What is our primary use case?

I am a pre-sales consultant.

I use the basic features in Zoom, to have conversations with clients,  show some presentations, and for sharing. I'm not a very advanced user.

What is most valuable?

The sharing and recording, are the most valuable features of Zoom.

What needs improvement?

If whiteboarding is not available, it would be beneficial. I'm not sure if it exists. If I can do some whiteboard sessions, that would be great. 

Whiteboarding would allow me to utilize the screen to draw something, explain, and write something. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Zoom for two years.

The corporation updates this solution on a regular basis.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Zoom is a stable solution.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I'm not sure about scalability because I didn't host that many people on it, so I can't really comment on scalability or how well it performs when there are a lot of attendees and sessions. I really don't have the experience.

How are customer service and support?

I have not contacted technical support.

It is maintained by my company; I am a user who does not get involved in the technical aspects.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I am exploring Microsoft, but Studio is no longer supported.

I have some experience with Microsoft Teams and Zoom.

I use Teams a lot and prefer it to Zoom simply because I'm more comfortable with it and there's no time limit. I don't need to worry about when my meeting ends.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is simple, it's straightforward.

Zoom is maintained by my corporate IT team. I am a user, I use this solution.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

What I don't like is the 45-minute time limit on the free subscription. Teams, on the other hand, do not operate in this manner. You can utilize as much use of Teams as you want. There are no time limits in the free version of Teams.

It is included with your Office 365 subscription. If you have Office 365, which everyone does, it is included. You can't use Word, Excel, or PowerPoint without it.

The free version has a time limit, but paid subscriptions are available.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate Zoom a seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
