Zoom Workplace Business Reviews

I use the solution for video calls. I use it for everything including meetings, interviews, webinars, et cetera. I use it a lot.

I use it in my company and since the pandemic, I use it every day. I entered into the company while the pandemic was just starting. I don't do any face-to-face with my coworkers. Everything is in Zoom, outside of the office setting.

Overall, I like it very much.

I like the way that you can do webinars on it. That is the most valuable for me. 

The solution is stable.

The scalability is good.

There are some features that are lacking. For example, sometimes, I want to share some pictures in the chat, and, in Zoom, you can't do that. That's the one item I'm missing. You can do that in Microsoft Teams with no problem. It's something I'd like to do in Zoom.

I'd like integration with Outlook to set my meetings. As it is, right now, I have to go to the Zoom app to do that, and after that, export it to Outlook. It should be simpler. Maybe there is a secret I am missing.

I'm not sure if it is possible in Zoom, however, in Cisco Webex, you can do the online translation of what the people are saying. That could be a good solution for people that actually don't speak English. For example, I speak Spanish. English is my second language. It would be helpful to have an in-app translation.

The stability has been good overall. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable.

The product scales well. I've been on webinars with 500 people and have never had a problem with it. You can do rather sizable meetings.

Everyone in my organization is using Zoom at this time. We have about 22,00 people that work within the organization. 

I'm from the IT world and can do my own troubleshooting. I've never been in touch with technical support. I cannot speak to how helpful they would be, or how responsive they are. 

In my organization, we can use Zoom or Microsoft Teams. A lot of people are changing to Teams due to the lack of integration in Zoom with Outlook. That said, almost everyone uses Zoom still. It was the first solution that this company had, therefore, likely the newest people are using Teams and the older ones are using and still using Zoom.

I used to use Cisco WebEx as well.

When I started using the solution I thought that it was a little bit hard to do as I was used to using Cisco Webex. The change was a little bit hard, however, it only took me a week to do all the things that I can actually do in Webex. Therefore, it's not too hard.

I'm not sure if the solution requires any maintenance, however, we have a local IT team that would be able to handle any responsibilities if that's the case. 

We have a company account. I'm not sure what the overall costs are to the company. 

I'm a customer and an end-user.

I'm using the latest version of the product.

I use it on mobile and on my laptop.

I'd advise potential new users to compare the features of all the solutions that are actually in the market to see which would be the best fit for the company's purposes. It's a good idea, if it's possible, to run a POC to try and test all the features first. 

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. It's a great solution, however, I'd really like to be able to share images via chat in Zoom.

We use Zoom for meetings and patients get to see people, such as relatives who are in foreign countries.

We have some long-term care patients and they were able to use Zoom to talk to their relatives without having them come in to visit. This was beneficial during the Covid pandemic.

Zoom is easy to use and does not require much network bandwidth. Additionally, it does not require a lot of configuration which is very good.

It is a very simple product, the client launches well from the web browser, and it doesn't have a large number of features, but it doesn't really require it.

The security of the solution could improve.

I have been using Zoom for approximately three years.

The stability and reliability of the Zoom have been good. However, our systems have good bandwidth and I am not sure how it would operate with low bandwidth.

The scalability of the solution is good.

We have approximately 125 users using the solution in my organization.

I have never needed to contact support.

We have previously used WebEx. We pay for WebEx, but the product seems to be really configuration-heavy. It has better security, but it requires a lot of administrative work on our side. You have to configure a huge amount of ports and sites for the firewall, whereas, in Zoom, you don't have to do that much configuration.

The setup is simple and there is no maintenance required.

We are using the free version of Zoom.

My advice to others wanting to implement this solution is to make sure the ports are open for access.

I rate Zoom a nine out of ten.

I rate Zoom a nine because it's easy to use and setup doesn't require someone with technical knowledge to run it. I guess the interface is pretty intuitive because we haven't had any calls from the users once we opened it up.

The video side should be improved, especially if too many people log in at once. While they say that the solution can support up to 100 connections simultaneously, it slows down once 20 or 25 people join. So too, the quality of the audio decreases and this is in spite of one being in a good internet area with good network speed. 

For the moment, Zoom only allows one to schedule, so it would be nice if it offered the option of creating channels, such as Slack does. The latter solution allows everyone to be on the same call with just a click. 

I have been using Zoom for two-and-a-half years. 

Zoom comprises our main mode of video communication. We have slowly started incorporating Microsoft Teams, since the company, our employees and the back office use this. Consequently, it is sometimes easier for us to simply conduct a quick call. 

I rate Zoom as a seven out of ten. This is because it is much easier to use than Microsoft Teams, but both of these solutions face similar issues when too many people log in at the same time. In fact, Zoom rates slightly lower than Microsoft Teams in terms of video and audio quality when too many people, 20 or 25, log in at once.

Zoom only allows for scheduling at the moment, so it would be nice if it offered the option of creating channels, such as with Slack. The latter solution allows everyone to be on the same call with just a click.

I believe we deploy the solution on the cloud. 

Half of our organization makes use of Microsoft Teams and the rest use Zoom. 

I rate Zoom as a seven out of ten. 

I'm using Zoom for virtual meetings. 

I would say that Zoom should support more platforms. I think it has some limitations. It should be supported on all platforms.

There are no restrictions on the number of participants in a single meeting, That is the beauty of Zoom, and it is also very fast compared to others.

I've been using Zoom for maybe a year or two.

Zoom is very fast and reliable. 

We are using Webex sometimes to talk to our clients. We are using Webex.0

Zoom is very easy to install. It only takes about five minutes.  

I rate Zoom eight out 10. I would definitely recommend it 

I use Zoom to demonstrate my solution to my clients. We also use it to make external and internal client calls.

We use Zoom Internally, as well as with our clients.

The features are good. I don't have any issues with the features included with Zoom.

Screen Sharing is the most valuable feature in Zoom for me.

The only issue I have is that some clients have difficulty connecting to the audio side of things. It could be user issues.

I have used Zoom off and on for many years.

I believe that we use the enterprise version of Zoom.

I don't have any issues with the stability of Zoom.

Zoom is scalable. 

We don't have more than ten users at once for my purposes. We haven't had to go any further.

I have not contacted technical support directly. Any issues are addressed with my IT team.

Zoom is the only product that I have used since starting with this company.

In the past, I have used GoToMeeting, Teams, Skype, and Webex.

Teams is nice, but it's on the communication platform, you are only using one application. Aside from that, I can't think of any significant pluses or minuses.

To my knowledge, the initial setup appears to be fine. I'm in sales, so I don't set up anything.

I worked for OpenText for 13 years.

In sales, I use what I am given to work with.

I would rate Zoom an eight out of ten.

I use the solution for meetings and calls. 

In Zoom, I don't have a preference for any of the features. If you know the application well, then you can use all the features. I'm using most of the features, including file sharing and sharing screens. 

The possibility for chat is very handy sometimes. The chat is very useful due to the fact that sometimes you have to run formulas and those kinds of things and to pronounce it is not enough. You have to write it down so that the person or people can see exactly what the formula is.

The whiteboard capabilities are great.

I use Zoom not so much for business, due to the fact that the problem with Zoom is the restriction that you have where there are only 45 minutes allowed for a conference, and then you had to log out and start a new meeting. 

They should remove any restriction of time. Sometimes the time that you planned for the meeting is not enough. Sometimes it goes more than an hour, an hour and 10 minutes. 

That said, they may have already fixed this issue.

When you start the Zoom meeting, at first, it didn't start directly, the meeting. It'd go to the web browser, then it asks you to open the zoom application. After it opens, then you can start. That it's a little bit too much of a problem for beginners. It would be easier and more user-friendly if you can go directly to the meeting without the hassle of starting up and waiting. It could just be a bit more user-friendly. 

The problem originally was that when Zoom started, they had most of the market. The problem that they had, is that with the COVID pandemic, a lot of people started using conferencing solutions and you had a paid version and a free version. The paid version had more features than the free version. That was confusing for people. They said, “okay, why do I have to pay for certain features?” A lot of people I know looked for free versions and there were other free versions. For example, I use Whereby also, and Whereby does all the things that Zoom can do.

The solution is stable.

I know a lot of IT, and therefore, most of the things that come up I can fix and if I can't fix it directly, I go and I look on the internet for solutions. If I run into a problem, I'm not the first person that has run into the problem. I look for a solution myself. Most of the time I get the solution. I don't deal with technical support.

I use Zoom, MS Teams, and Google Meet. 

I also use Whereby, which is free to use.

I used MS Teams first, then Zoom. I use MS Teams due to the fact that I have a Microsoft account and a Microsoft company account. I started using Zoom when a lot of people started using Zoom. Using MS Teams is more difficult than using Zoom. 

I am tech-savvy. I'm not afraid to use applications and I can understand the logic behind the application. That said, I know that non-tech-savvy people had problems with starting up the Zoom meeting. The typical user doesn't understand the logic that's behind it. When you start it on the web, it's supposed to work directly on the web and not go to the application that is on your desktop and launch that. That is something that I can understand, however, it is not logical for people who are not accustomed to using IT so much.

All that is to say that, for me, the initial setup is not complex, however, I'm not an average user. I work daily with 10 or 12 applications. I switch from one to another. For me, it's not difficult. For non-technical people, it might be.

The deployment is fast and only takes a few minutes. It's maybe ten minutes or less.

I'm using a personal account, which is free. To use a company account, I have to go to the administration and fix that they pay the year account. I don't want to go through all of these procedures and all the hassle. That's the reason I use a personal account.

I'm using Zoom on occasion. It depends on what the person I will have a conference with wants to use. I am flexible. I use various solutions. I pick the one that is better for the other side.

I tend to use the most up-to-date version of the solution.

I'd advise users to use the solution as it's a good product. In the beginning, it scared me off because as there were a lot of rumors about privacy. For a few months, I didn't use it until I knew that they had fixed that problem. Now security is fine.

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

We use the solution for virtual meetings. 

The interface could be more user-friendly. I am only referring to my limited personal experience. This should not present an issue for an experienced user. 

It's a little bit hard for me to type the numbers, as we mostly use Teams, meaning our experience is lacking. I have used the solution on several occasions, although not too many. This difficulty could, perhaps, be chalked up to my lack of experience. 

We have been using Zoom for one or two years.

I felt the installation to be straightforward. 

I do not know for certain how long this process lasted, perhaps 15 minutes.

One can handle the installation on his own, as I have made use of the solution on several occasions. I have endorsed the solution in the past and make use of it myself, so I do not need recourse to the information. 

As I am not in charge of managing Zoom, I cannot speak for the licensing requirements. I believe that all of their licenses are purchased, so that they may use the solution for their teaching purposes. 

I assume that the solution is cloud-based, although I cannot say for certain as I am just a user. 

The solution has so far been fine for me and has not presented too many issues. 

I do not know for certain how many users are using the solution in our organization, although I would estimate this figure to exceed 1,000, maybe reaching several thousand. I know there are at least a thousand. As we are a university, we have several thousand people, numbering more than 10,000 students, some of whom are making use of the solution. However, there are those who are not, so I cannot only guess at the number. At least a thousand seems reasonable. 

I would recommend the solution to others, although there is really no choice in its use, as this is done out of necessity. 

I rate Zoom between a six and seven out of ten. 

I primarily use the solution for client meetings. In most cases, our customers are government customers. They're using the government version of Zoom.

The user interface is fine.

I don't have any issue with the pricing.

The technical support is okay.

It does offer collaboration. You can share your screen. 

I'm not sure how good the solution is for file sharing. However, that might not be the type of functionality you need for this type of project.

I don't know whose product is at fault, however, if you've ever had to go from Zoom to Teams to WebEx, it really messes around with your device settings. In the case of my microphone, I may have a USB microphone, and all of a sudden I'm using the microphone in my camera. Or my speakers, if they're plugged into my laptop, now all of a sudden those don't work. That's something that's kind of annoying. However, that might not be the fault of Zoom.

I haven't had any issues with technical support.

The company mainly uses Microsoft Teams. I only use Zoom for when a customer wants to have a meeting and they need to use Zoom.

We used to use WebEx, however, we don't really use it anymore. 

The pricing of the solution is fine.

I'm just an end-user.

I'd probably rate the solution at a seven and that is only due to the fact that we're a Microsoft shop, and we have a lot of Office 365. Our use of Teams is very integrated into the files that we create and store and access. Therefore, Zoom is not the most used product in our company.
