- "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."
- "Compared to Skype and Teams, Zoom is missing one feature, and that's the ability to call people."
What is our primary use case?

What is most valuable?
Zoom is nice. It does not consume a lot of internet bandwidth.

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

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.

Owner at JLDG
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."
- "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."
- "We have had some quality and lagging issues with video regardless of connection quality."
- "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.

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."
- "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."
- "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."
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
