Easy to use and has nice features for virtual meeting rooms
Pros and Cons
  • "This is the easiest product to use for videoconferencing."
  • "I like to see the whole screen and sometimes, it is difficult to hide the speaker's picture or my own picture from the forefront of the Zoom screen."

What is our primary use case?

I primarily use Zoom for webinars and virtual classes.

At the beginning of the pandemic, we started using Zoom for work. After some time, we switched to Microsoft Teams for that purpose. We talk to our providers using Zoom but it is not common.

This is deployed in a Linux environment.

What is most valuable?

I like the virtual meeting rooms in this product. They are very good and have very nice features.

This is the easiest product to use for videoconferencing.

What needs improvement?

The interface could use some improvement. I like to see the whole screen and sometimes, it is difficult to hide the speaker's picture or my own picture from the forefront of the Zoom screen.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Zoom for approximately two years, since 2019.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Zoom is a very stable product.

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

I did not use another similar product prior to Zoom.

I also use Microsoft Teams. We changed to Teams for work but I still use Zoom here and there.

How was the initial setup?

Downloading and installing Zoom was very easy to do. It did not take a long time.

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

I use the free version of Zoom that is available for download.

What other advice do I have?

Overall, I really like Zoom and it has everything that we need. The only complaint I have is about the interface.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Much better and more reliable than Microsoft Teams and WebEx, but has occasional problems with latency, audio or visual quality
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is much better and more reliable than Microsoft Teams or Webex."
  • "There are occasional latency, sound and audio quality difficulties."

What is our primary use case?

I use my Mac to conduct Zoom meetings with those who are interested, which runs on my browser. 

What needs improvement?

I have come across the run of the mill issues which someone would expect to find with these communication solutions. There are occasional latency, sound and audio quality difficulties. 

The solution is good, but it's not perfect.

A big feature I wish to see would involve the ability to attach documents while conducting a session. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Zoom for around a year-and-a-half.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

The solution is much better and more reliable than Microsoft Teams or Webex.

I am not the one in charge of the decisions. People, such as recruiters and hiring managers, are the ones who make the decision to conduct a one-on-one meeting. Nowadays, these things are done remotely and the people, at turns, may specify Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Webex. This can vary. I deal with all of these solutions. 

What other advice do I have?

I believe that Zoom is deployed in the cloud.

We provide software as a service.

I rate Zoom around a seven out of ten.

Highly reliable, easy to set up, and easy to use
Pros and Cons
    • "I have had the occasional problem with the connection and stability."

    What is our primary use case?

    I use Zoom mainly for meetings with colleagues or speaking with other people in the organization. I also use it to speak with people at my old job.

    What is most valuable?

    The most valuable feature is its reliability.

    What needs improvement?

    I have had the occasional problem with the connection and stability.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I have had problems with the connection but not very often.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I think that it is scalable. Everything that I have needed it for has been okay.

    In this organization, everybody uses it. There are between 40,000 and 50,000 students and approximately 10,000 faculty. It’s a lot of users.

    How are customer service and support?

    I have not had to contact technical support for anything.

    How was the initial setup?

    Zoom is definitely easy to set up.

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

    The personal version that I was using is available free of charge. A subscription service is also available.

    What other advice do I have?

    My advice for anybody who is implementing Zoom is that it seems really straightforward. It's easy to set up and easy to use.

    Other than a few connection issues, I haven’t had any problems with it.

    I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

    It doesn't require any IT skills or use up a lot of bandwidth
    Pros and Cons
    • "Zoom is incredibly easy to install. You can download it immediately on a mobile phone or go to the website. You don't need a lot of IT skills to get it running."
    • "Compared to Skype and Teams, Zoom is missing one feature, and that's the ability to call people. In Teams, I can call anyone I want. It's like a telephone. I can do the same on Skype, but I have to send a link in Zoom."

    What is our primary use case?

    I've used Zoom personally and professionally. We use it for virtual meetings and presentations for management or customers. We use Zoom or Teams for anything that requires a group discussion.

    What is most valuable?

    Zoom is nice. It does not consume a lot of internet bandwidth.

    What needs improvement?

    I want Zoom to be integrated with virtual or intelligence boards. This would be useful when you are giving lectures.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We've been using Zoom for three or four years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Zoom is stable. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We have a maximum of 50 users now.

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

    I used Skype before Zoom.

    How was the initial setup?

    Zoom is incredibly easy to install. You can download it immediately on a mobile phone or go to the website. You don't need a lot of IT skills to get it running.

    Which other solutions did I evaluate?

    Compared to Skype and Teams, Zoom is missing one feature, and that's the ability to call people. In Teams, I can call anyone I want. It's like a telephone. I can do the same on Skype, but I have to send a link in Zoom. They click on the link and contact me. If I'm driving, I can't just click on one of my team in Zoom.

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate Zoom nine out of 10. It's great software. I would recommend it.

    Has an easy setup
    Pros and Cons
    • "The solution is easy to set up."
    • "Non-technical support should be improved, such as that involving invoicing."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use the solution for Webex, town hall, chatting and Teams. 

    What needs improvement?

    Non-technical support should be improved, such as that involving invoicing. I cannot think of anything offhand to improve regarding services. 

    I would like to see avatars included in the next release. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Zoom for three years

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is stable. 

    How was the initial setup?

    The solution is easy to set up. 

    What other advice do I have?

    As Zoom is quite good, I rate it as a ten out of ten.

    Mature platform, easier to install than some competitors
    Pros and Cons
    • "Another advantage of Zoom is that it is easier to link a person that is not a Zoom user than it is with WebEx."
    • "We have had some quality and lagging issues with video regardless of connection quality."

    What is our primary use case?

    My primary use case for Zoom is for contacting clients, suppliers, and even colleagues. We were working at a distance with some people.

    What is most valuable?

    One of the most valuable advantages of Zoom is that it is a bit easier to install than Microsoft Teams or WebEx by Cisco, for example. Another advantage of Zoom is that it is easier to link a person that is not a Zoom user than it is with WebEx.

    Overall, Zoom is a very mature platform. The only issues and glitches we have every had with it were related to Wi-Fi quality. For example, we can run into problems when a colleague is working on a low-quality Wi-Fi connection. Also, we try to use headsets in our meetings and this can create a problem, but that again is not an issue with the platform itself. 

    What needs improvement?

    We have had some quality and lagging issues with video regardless of connection quality. We would experience things like poor audio quality or a choppy connection, but that was with older versions of Zoom. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I started using Zoom 10 years ago. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Zoom is fairly stable.

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

    We pay a per-seat monthly fee for keeping the license.

    Good desktop application that works exactly how you need it to
    Pros and Cons
    • "Zoom is scalable, it can handle meetings with lots of delegates."
    • "In the next release, I would like to see an easily accessible bandwidth feature so that you can see how much data you've used on a particular call."

    What is our primary use case?

    My primary use is for virtual meetings and one-on-one communication.

    What needs improvement?

    In the next release, I would like to see an easily accessible bandwidth feature so that you can see how much data you've used on a particular call.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using Zoom for the last two years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The product works, it's stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Zoom is scalable, it can handle meetings with lots of delegates.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is really simple and can be installed in a couple of minutes - a rank novice could do it.

    What other advice do I have?

    The desktop application works nicely, and I would recommend the product for other people. I would give it a score of eight out of ten.

    Enables one to easily connect with customers, clients and colleagues and comes with an easy and fast installation
    Pros and Cons
    • "Primarily during the period of problematic travel, the solution enabled us to connect with customers, clients and even colleagues and to share our thoughts, ideas and information."
    • "The user interface should be more straightforward and easy to use."

    What is our primary use case?

    We are using the latest update of the solution, although I cannot specify which version. 

    We mostly use the solution for presentation and conferences and, occasionally, for support. 

    Initially, I used Zoom primarily for remote conferencing, but at a certain point started using it in parallel for its remote support.

    How has it helped my organization?

    Primarily during the period of problematic travel, the solution enabled us to connect with customers, clients and even colleagues and to share our thoughts, ideas and information. 

    What is most valuable?

    It is difficult for me to point to any specific feature that I found to be most valuable. In the past, I used the solution a lot more but, of late, more with my kids. Should they require assistance on their computer, I can easily join in to actively provide this. 

    What needs improvement?

    It is difficult for me to point to areas in need of improvement, since I have not used the solution much of late. More than a year ago, I had many suggestions, but do not recall any at the moment. 

    The reason I choose to rate the solution as an eight out of ten is because it needs improvements, such as the user interface needing to be more straightforward and easier to use. My colleague also does not appear in the menu in the proper place. Particulary people who lack computer savvy would not be able to find the appropriate option in the menu. 

    This said, I struggle to think of any specific features that I wish to be added or changed to the solution. 

    For how long have I used the solution?

    We have been using the solution for several years. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    Overall, the solution is stable. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    I am not in a position to comment on the solution's scalability, as I did not attempt to do this. 

    How are customer service and support?

    I cannot comment on technical support, as I have not had dealings with them. 

    How was the initial setup?

    The installation was relatively straightforward.

    It was quite fast, taking sevaral minutes on a standard computer. 

    What about the implementation team?

    I handled the installation on my own. 

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

    We do not incur a licensing fee. 

    What other advice do I have?

    In the past, I served as an IT manager, but I was not involved in implementation in my previous cyber security role. I am just a user. 

    We use the solution both for company and personal needs. 

    We are talking about a company that numbered no more than ten people, consisting of engineers, architects, managers and administrators, so everyone in it was making use of the solution. 

    I would recommend the solution to others. It's quite straightforward and easy to use.

    I rate Zoom as an eight out of ten. 

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises
