I have not used it for a large number of people, but for the numbers we use the solution for, it has worked.
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.
How was the initial setup?
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.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
As an organization, we are paying a license fee for Zoom. Personally, I use the free version.
What other advice do I have?
Zoom is convenient and useful, I would recommend this solution. I rate it a 7 out of 10.

Sr. Sales Consultant at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Easy to set up, very reliable, and offers many great backgrounds
Pros and Cons
- "The solution is stable and reliable."
- "The solution is reliable and the performance is good."
- "The solution could be a bit more user-friendly."
- "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.
How was the initial setup?
The initial implementation process was very simple and straightforward. It was not a complex or difficult process.
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.

Zoom's drawing tools could be better integrated.
For how long have I used the solution?
We've been using Zoom for about two years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Zoom is scalable. We have about 10,000 users at my company.

Systems Engineer at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
Video access is a great feature that improves communication
Pros and Cons
- "The product has video access which is a great feature."
- "I like that Zoom provides video access, which I believe provides for better communication and a more relaxed situation."
- "Troubleshooting can be complicated."
- "Troubleshooting on Zoom can be complicated."
What is our primary use case?
I've been using this solution for meetings, both within the company and externally with our customers.
What is most valuable?
I like that Zoom provides video access, which I believe provides for better communication and a more relaxed situation. I know some people don't like it, but I do. I'm not a power user but it suits my requirements and does what I need.
What needs improvement?
Troubleshooting on Zoom can be complicated. You can get a message: "I can't find your camera." It worked yesterday but it doesn't work today. The problem is that the camera is not available in Windows. It requires Windows troubleshooting skills. Zoom uses what Windows offers and Windows fails to offer the camera. The same holds for audio. If you switch to a different headphone in the middle of a meeting, Zoom can't find it because it's a Windows problem. It usually requires canceling the call, fixing the problem and calling again.
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 quite scalable, I can invite up to 50 people onto a call and I can invite 100 people if I have that kind of license.
How was the initial setup?
I find the initial setup a little awkward.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Licensing costs depend on the number of people per call and the length of calls. There is a standard license for 50 participants that we use. Above that number, you need a special license.
What other advice do I have?
I find Zoom easier to use and easier to troubleshoot than Microsoft Teams so I would recommend it.
I rate Zoom eight out of 10.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises

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."
- "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."
- "There is 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?
