I use Zoom for virtual meetings and training sessions where instructors can teach thousands of people.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I'd rate Zoom's stability as ten out of ten.

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

- "The solution is not very useful for chat and lacks highlighting functionality."
What is our primary use case?

Zoom drastically reduced the amount of travel because most customer meetings can be done via Zoom meetings. It makes training and webinars quite interactive with the help of breakout rooms, which is quite nice.

I often use a highlighting feature in Slack Huddles, which makes it easier to point someone in someone else's screen share. Zoom should include a highlighting feature like in Slack Huddles. The solution is not very useful for chat and lacks highlighting functionality.

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."

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.
