Product has been a life saver during the pandemic
Pros and Cons
  • "I've been using Zoom since the pandemic started. It's actually been a life saving product under the circumstances that were thrust on everybody."
  • "The virtual background could be more smoothly integrated with the rest of the software."

What needs improvement?

It would be great if during presentations participants could go back and look at, for example, PowerPoint slides being presented. This can only be done now by the person sharing the presentation and I wouldn't want to jeopardize that, but if, instead of just displaying the current screen, the system software could make the PowerPoint deck available. That would be useful to individuals that may need clarification on something and would prevent avoidable questions.

The virtual background could be more smoothly integrated with the rest of the software. I don't want to distract people with the clutter in my office, so I pull the screen down and put up the virtual background, so that I have a clean interface, and they can talk to me without being distracted by what's going on in my office. But, when people don't do that, it's distracting to see what's behind them. Getting that better integrated into the program, so that it's a first class citizen and not an appendage that's been glued on, would be a really nice thing.

People should be warned that the virtual backgrounds work much better with a green screen. If you don't have a green screen, virtual backgrounds are really distracting because pieces of people appear and disappear.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Zoom since the pandemic started. It's actually been a life saving product under the circumstances that were thrust on everybody.

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

I have used other products like Microsoft Teams and Webex by Cisco.

Works well, has a friendly user interface, and is stable
Pros and Cons
  • "Zoom is pretty safe and secure."

Zoom is pretty safe and secure. 

What needs improvement?

While the communication and video-audio conferencing features on Zoom are excellent, unlike Microsoft Teams, there is no direct integration with SharePoint. For us, that is the disadvantage of Zoom. 

Zoom lacks integrations and many extra features. Microsoft Teams, on the other hand, has many features and integrates well with many Microsoft apps. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for three years at this point. It's been a while.

We haven't had any issues with the product. We've never really reached out to technical support directly. 

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

We also use Microsoft Teams. However, Zoom is more user-friendly and has a better interface. The advantage of Teams is the integration with Sharepoint, which Zoom doesn't have. 

Previous to these, we used Skype a lot.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is pretty easy. It takes a little time. We did a deployment in our organization is six hours. 

What about the implementation team?

We were able to handle the implementation ourselves. We didn't need any integrators or consultants. 

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

We pay Zoom a yearly licensing fee.

What other advice do I have?

As a cloud-based solution, I'm always on the latest version. I cannot speak to the exact version number I'm using right now. 

I'd recommend the solution to other users and organizations. We are happy with its capabilities. I'd rate it at a perfect ten out of ten.

It's free, but it could be more reliable

Zoom is free. If I had to pay for a subscription, I would just use Teams instead.

Stable, secure, and easy to use
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is how stable Zoom is. Compared to other collaboration tools, I haven't seen Zoom crash often. Zoom is also better in terms of security. From a usability perspective, a user's perspective, the overall experience of using Zoom is very good. It's a simple, fast, very seamless solution, and pretty lightweight."
  • "Zoom could be improved by adding more third-party integrations. They should also work on their virtual backgrounds. I think these could be more professional and creative."

What is our primary use case?

My primary use case is for virtual meetings. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is how stable Zoom is. Compared to other collaboration tools, I haven't seen Zoom crash often. Zoom is also better in terms of security. From a usability perspective, a user's perspective, the overall experience of using Zoom is very good. It's a simple, fast, very seamless solution, and pretty lightweight. 

What needs improvement?

Zoom could be improved by adding more third-party integrations. They should also work on their virtual backgrounds. I think these could be more professional and creative. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Zoom for over two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Zoom is very stable. The performance is much better compared to similar collaboration tools. 

How are customer service and support?

I have never directly contacted Zoom's technical support. My organization has a centralized IT team. 

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

Before switching to Zoom, I used Skype for Business. Skype for Business was very heavy, unstable, and difficult to use. It consumed a lot of memory and the overall experience wasn't very nice. 

As an organization, we sometimes use Microsoft Teams as well, but I always prefer using Zoom. The interface is very simple and elegant. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation was a breeze. 

What about the implementation team?

I implemented through an in-house team. 

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

There is a license to pay for, but my company takes care of that. I don't actually spend anything. 

What other advice do I have?


There are over 200 people in my organization using Zoom. As for maintenance, there are periodic updates from time to time, but there aren't a lot of operational challenges. It's purely cloud-based, which adds great value, and there are no challenges in maintaining it. 

I would rate Zoom an eight out of ten. I recommend it to anyone who wants to start using it.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
