Intuitive platform but synchronization could be improved
Pros and Cons
  • "The feature I find the most about Zoom is that you can have a private chat in a group call."
  • "The initial setup was easy for me; you go online and install it and it's done."
  • "Zoom also has an issue with logins. For some reason, especially with institutional accounts, it is common to get kicked out and verification processes don't work all the time."
  • "Zoom also has an issue with logins. For some reason, especially with institutional accounts, it is common to get kicked out and verification processes don't work all the time."

What is our primary use case?

My primary use cases for Zoom are work, school, and private calls. However, my private calls only go over Zoom if a lot of people need to be involved for things like birthday parties or something like that. 

What is most valuable?

The feature I find the most about Zoom is that you can have a private chat in a group call.

What needs improvement?

The synchronization could be improved. However, synchronization is as much a connectivity issue as a software one. If they can somehow introduce a compression algorithm that could reduce the throughput necessary, that would probably alleviate a lot of the issues of the data of the network connection. However, overall, I think it's pretty good. I like lean products.

Zoom also has an issue with logins. For some reason, especially with institutional accounts, it is common to get kicked out and verification processes don't work all the time. This does depend on which device you have, what kind of operating system you are in, and if you switch operating systems. The migration of your account is actually pretty difficult and it is something that they should look at. The transferability between different environments is super important.

How are customer service and support?

I have not had to contact Zoom's technical support.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy for me. You go online and install it and it's done.

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

I have not paid a single cent ever for Zoom. However, I am paying with my data.

What other advice do I have?

Take 10 to 20 minutes to get to know the platform or ask someone to just walk you through it once. It's very intuitive if you know anything about technology.

Stable solution works well for video conferences
Pros and Cons

What is most valuable?

The solution is working very well and it's very simple, easy to use.

What needs improvement?

One area that can be improved is the chat settings. Perhaps add a feature so you can tag someone when you write something, and that someone be notified that you wrote a message to him or her. I'd like to see more user interface.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Zoom for two or three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. My family is using Zoom.

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

Previously, I've used the service from Google. I was using Slack and Skype. With my friends, I use WhatsApp for video.

How was the initial setup?

It is very easy to install in just a few minutes.

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

At work we had a paid account for multiple users and so on, but at home I'm using the light version, the free one.

What other advice do I have?

Zoom works very well and is very stable. I enjoy the fact that it can be used with more than two people, and you can also chat with others during calls.

I would suggest using the solution because it works very well for video conferences.

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

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I have found Zoom to be scalable. It's a very good solution. We have made huge teleconferences with a lot of people, and many video streams.

We are talking about multiple video streams, not just one, not just two, but multiple video streams. This technology is amazing.

We have half the people in our organization using Zoom when we are doing projects.

How are customer service and support?

I have not used technical support.

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

We are really relying on these technologies. I have used Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Slack.  They were really critical technologies during this pandemic.

Zoom is easy to install and you can install the client for Zoom on an iPhone or Android phone or PC.

There are paid and free personal accounts for Zoom.

How was the initial setup?

The installation is simple.

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

We purchased a license for Zoom.

What other advice do I have?

I would suggest those who might be interested in Zoom try out the demonstrations version. The solution is easy to use.

I have used Zoom for about two years now.

Easy to set up, hosts remote meetings well, and is very stable
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is quick and easy."
  • "The solution is good for remote, virtual meetings."
  • "Zoom could be more secure."
  • "Zoom could be more secure."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for holding virtual meetings. 

What is most valuable?

The solution is good for remote, virtual meetings.

The solution is quite stable. 

The scalability is good.

The initial setup is quick and easy.

What needs improvement?

Zoom could be more secure. In one of the meetings, we found out the meeting was automatically getting recorded. That's not good. 

There are certain things that could definitely be avoided.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for a few years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability overall is pretty good. There aren't really bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. The performance is good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I've found the solution to be very scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so.

Typically, we use Zoom if a vendor wants to. For example, if somebody sends across their meeting request via Zoom, we will use that. As far as our organization's users are concerned, it's used much less. We have 200 to 500 people that use it internally. Not more than that.

We don't plan to increase usage, as we already use WebEx, and we prefer not to double up on virtual meeting platforms. 

How are customer service and support?

I've never contacted Zoom's technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they are in general. 

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

I'm also using WebEx. We use Zoom and WebEx in parallel. We also have used Google Meet.

We tend to use Zoom when our vendors set up the meeting and it is something they prefer. When we set up meetings ourselves, we tend to use either WebEx or Google Meet.

How was the initial setup?

As a cloud-based solution, the installation is very simple and straightforward. it's easy. It's not difficult. 

The deployment just takes a few minutes. 

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

We do not have any subscriptions with Zoom. 

What other advice do I have?

As a cloud-based solution, we are always on the latest version. 

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

I would recommend the solution to other users and organizations.

Overall good features, allows large group conferences, and priced well
Pros and Cons
  • "Overall, Zoom is a good product because we are using it globally, and it is a good way of connecting with everyone globally."
  • "Overall, Zoom is a good product because we are using it globally, and it is a good way of connecting with everyone globally."
  • "I find while using Zoom sometimes there is a lot of disturbance while on the call. There is a lot of network issues, and sometimes the screen freezes, and you have no way of figuring out what went wrong. You have to restart the computer all over again, or you lose some of the words that someone was saying during the meeting, such as what the person is trying to say in the midst of that conversation. Additionally, there have been times it has disconnected and was not able to start."
  • "I find while using Zoom sometimes there is a lot of disturbance while on the call. There is a lot of network issues, and sometimes the screen freezes, and you have no way of figuring out what went wrong."

What is our primary use case?

I use Zoom for communication.

What is most valuable?

Overall, Zoom is a good product because we are using it globally, and it is a good way of connecting with everyone globally.

You are able to have 40-50 people or hundreds of people communicating, depending on your contacts.

What needs improvement?

I find while using Zoom sometimes there is a lot of disturbance while on the call. There is a lot of network issues, and sometimes the screen freezes, and you have no way of figuring out what went wrong. You have to restart the computer all over again, or you lose some of the words that someone was saying during the meeting, such as what the person is trying to say in the midst of that conversation. Additionally, there have been times it has disconnected and was not able to start.

The solution should be more user-friendly. I should not have to reboot and go through these steps to have a solution. I have not seen any internet connection issues. It seems to be automatically right inside the system that is the issue and this is what I have heard. These are all minor issues but they should be taken care of.

I would like to see better architecture from an end-user perspective. it should be easy to use and user-friendly because there are some places that are difficult to find or to navigate. It is difficult to figure out where to go for certain features within the application. If it had better navigation users would get things done faster.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Zoom for approximately one year.

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

I have used other solutions, such as Skype.

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

The annual price of approximately $200 for the solution is reasonable.

What other advice do I have?

Zoom is widely used and it has been better than other solutions, such as Skype.

I rate Zoom an eight out of ten.
