A stable tool to hold virtual meetings that also helps with its file extraction capabilities
Pros and Cons
  • "It is a scalable solution."
  • "Zoom's stability is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."

What is our primary use case?

I use Zoom for virtual meetings and video communication.

What is most valuable?

Our company is interested in Zoom's extraction capabilities and uses it as a transformation tool. Zoom can convert a JSON file to an XML file without the need to involve coding and by using the drag and drop feature available in the solution's UI because it's not for our internal use but for our customers who don't want to write scripts.

What needs improvement?

Zoom's stability is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Zoom for three to five years.

An affordable, easy, and user-friendly tool useful for setting up virtual meetings
Pros and Cons
  • "Zoom is quite easy to use and user-friendly."
  • "The only limitation in Zoom is related to the time limit for a call, which is about 40 minutes."

What is our primary use case?

Zoom is quite easy to use and user-friendly.

The main purpose of Zoom is to hold virtual meetings.

What is most valuable?

Zoom has many features, but our company uses the solution's basic features, like scheduling meetings on the calendar, chatting, and sharing screens and documents.

What needs improvement?

The only limitation in Zoom is related to the time limit for a call, which is about 40 minutes. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Zoom since 2020, around COVID-19. My company is just a customer of Zoom. I use the solution's latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Around 15 people in my company use Zoom.

Zoom is used at least once every couple of days, but in the past, Zoom was used every day.

Personally, I plan to increase the use of the solution since I prefer to have more virtual meetings.

How are customer service and support?

I haven't interacted with the solution's technical support.

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

I had used Skype, which was exclusively for personal use.

How was the initial setup?

I rate Zoom's initial setup phase around nine to ten, on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup and ten is an easy setup.

The solution is deployed on an app, which is an on-premises version.

Zoom's initial download or deployment process was completed in a couple of minutes.

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

I rate the product's pricing two or three on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price. Price-wise, it is an affordable solution. The cost, in addition to the standard licensing fees, is related to the premium. Generally, a person can use it for free or go for a premium if they want to upgrade or extend the meeting time.

What other advice do I have?

I think Zoom is a great tool.

I recommend Zoom to others because I found it very easy to use, especially for old people unfamiliar with technology. With Zoom, you just send the link and the invite to allow a person to join a meeting easily.

I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Beneficial security features, clear quality transmissions, and secure
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features of Zoom are voice and camera clarity. The time latency of the response is good. The facility to view all the participants who are online is a benefit. In most of the other similar solutions, they too have this feature. However, since I have used Zoom, I find it as an advantage because you can see all the participants online and you can choose."
  • "My only concern in Zoom is the stigma associated with being a Chinese product. However, it has been acquired by the US government or a US counterpart has taken over it. There is not any issue with respect to data security. This being said, there is a little bit of apprehension when it comes to the data security aspect. It's better if they give a public statement that we are compliant with the GDPR requirements. It will be helpful for them in promoting their solution in a much better way."

What is our primary use case?

I used Zoom for some training programs that I conducted for younger children in school. The version I am using is for the Mac.

I used Zoom when I was doing an assessment. I did a waste management audit for an energy company, which has a large presence in 15 countries, because of the COVID pandemic. I had done a virtual audit of the waste management process of their production facilities. I did a comprehensive audit for all their 15 operating countries, for example, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Wuhan in China, South Korea, Japan, and India. I had used Zoom to talk to people.

How has it helped my organization?

Zoom had served as a handy tool to connect and communicate with the world, especially my client organizations during the COVID phase. The fact that I could establish a seamless bridge is attributable to Zoom. Be it Online training sessions or Business Assessments, Zoom has served as a handy tool. So business sustenance served well.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features of Zoom are voice and camera clarity. The time latency of the response is good. The facility to view all the participants who are online is a benefit. In most of the other similar solutions, they too have this feature. However, since I have used Zoom, I find it as an advantage because you can see all the participants online and you can choose. 

When using Zoom for a training program, seeing the participants online and then the latency is very good, it is more in real-time. Additionally, the security features are good.

What needs improvement?

My only concern in Zoom is the stigma associated with being a Chinese product. However, it has been acquired by the US government or a US counterpart has taken over it. There is not any issue with respect to data security. This being said, there is a little bit of apprehension when it comes to the data security aspect. It's better if they give a public statement that we are compliant with the GDPR requirements. It will be helpful for them in promoting their solution in a much better way.

The internet infrastructure in India is not as good as in other places, such as the USA. Zoom could benefit by optimizing the connection to allow better operation of the solution under low bandwidth. Management of the latency time will give them an edge for data calls over other products.

If I want to do a recording quickly, the way we should be able to do it should be slightly easier for the author. For example, if you are conducting a program and you are hosting it with a trainer that is subcontracted to your organization. In this case, the trainer, when you're giving me access to Zoom, I am using Zoom as the bridge to train your audience. 

In such a situation, as an author, or trainer, should have the facility to record it myself, I should be able to gain a copy of my training session for later usage or for a review. If they could add some feature to accomplish this it would be helpful. It would be very motivating for the trainers and auditors to do self-reviews and then later on they can review themself for improvement areas to work on. 

When I take a look at my own recording, I can have a better idea of how to improve for the next session or training program.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Zoom for approximately 10 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Zoom is highly stable.

I never had connectivity issues where suddenly the line went off, and despite my internet bandwidth issues, I never faced a blackout. I had conducted training programs, for example, using zoom with several trainees in the session. Conceptual clarity is only possible when the bridge with the participants is clear enough to comprehend for the participant. I guess Zoom was good enough to connect well despite constraints, peak times and bandwidth issues which are often the challenges associated with online presence.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I had no problems with the scalability of Zoom.

Since the COVID pandemic, this is the new way of communicating for many people. Many people are carrying out business, training programs, and virtual meetings. Many things that are happening, Zoom has a huge potential. If they can make their offering more attractive, easier to use, with beautiful dashboards, it is a big market for them. They can have their share value going up in the market.

How are customer service and support?

I have not needed to contact Zoom's technical support.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

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

I have previously used Webex and Microsoft Teams

I have been using  Microsoft Team prominently. A lot of people are preferring Microsoft Team because it is more reliable than most of the other solutions. Zoom is slightly less popular because of the data security issues associated with it and has been taken over by a US company. China does not own it anymore but there is still a stigma associated with data security and privacy when using Zoom, in my opinion.

How was the initial setup?

I do not remember how the initial implementation was but when the Zoom is implemented there is some waiting time when the login happens. Sometimes we are not sure if the connection is happening or not. There's a waiting time but happens also in Microsoft Team. At times it is as if we are blindfolded and waiting for the meeting connection to happen, you don't have a clue whether the connection is happening or not. I don't know if the issue is because of my internet connectivity, Zoom tool version, the other side of the connection is ready, or if the other party is joining or not. There are many question marks that are there that could be answered with some dashboard of what is the status is similar to tracking of a courier. It has gone somewhere and, midway, it is stuck, and then the other side is still yet to join.

 If Zoom can manage this delay and make it more creative in reflecting the participant and have the ability to inform the organizer of whether the connection is in place or not, it would be really helpful. 

What about the implementation team?

Implementation and usage of Zoom are very user friendly. Sometimes when the meeting is arranged by the client the system admin of the client organization would extend support to share a document or share screen or other maneuvers. Support was good enough to enable the business discussion further without breaks breaks and interruptions.

What was our ROI?

Seamless integration with the business processes and timely communication with the clients adds huge value to the sustenance of Business. In a Virtual world of an evolving and fast emerging tomorrow, Zoom would be playing a pivotal role in supporting and enhancing the Business Performance of Corporates across the world. My RoI is a small piece of a similar experience and experimentation with the Virtualization of the business ecosystem with Zoom.

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

There is a free version of Zoom which allows you a certain limited amount of time usage and there is a corporate version of the solution where you have to pay.

They could improve the free version by allowing more time to use, it could benefit sales in the future. For example, let's say some students are using it or a certain kind of some CEOs or non-profit organizations are using, they can extend free access to such people.

The Microsoft Teams solution is more expensive than Zoom.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

When evaluating other solutions to Zoom, they all have similar functionality. For example, the dashboard icons are at the bottom of the screen. There is standardized functionality in most of the solutions.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend this solution to others. 

They need to remove the Chinese stigma attached to the solution and then it would be better in the market for sales.

If a customer comes to me and asks if Zoom is a good solution I highly recommend it.

I rate Zoom a nine out of ten.

Easy to set up, friendly and helpful support, provides functionality for recording meetings
Pros and Cons
  • "Zoom is very easy to set up. You simply download it and use it."
  • "Zoom meetings can only have 1,000 attendees. For more than 1,000, you must buy the Zoom Webinar product."

What is our primary use case?

We use Zoom in my office for virtual meetings.

We use it to attend meetings while at the office, from home, from the car, or from the hotel. It is a good solution for online meetings and in general, virtual communications.

What is most valuable?

It has a feature that allows you to store the recording of a meeting, which is good.

What needs improvement?

Zoom meetings can only have 1,000 attendees. For more than 1,000, you must buy the Zoom Webinar product.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Zoom for approximately one year.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable product, although a Zoom meeting can only have 1,000 attendees. We have approximately 400 people that use it.

We have to evaluate it further before deciding whether we will increase our usage.

I have been in contact with technical support and it is good. They are very friendly.

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

We used another video conferencing solution for approximately two months.

Good screen sharing features, easy to use, and it integrates well with Outlook
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the sharing capabilities. Whether it's a simple screen for PowerPoint or sharing videos, it works really well."
  • "When the firewall is turned on, there have been issues with congestion that affects performance."

What is our primary use case?

Zoom is one of the products that we use for meetings. We use it for internal partners, customers, and everyone that doesn't have a different preferred meeting platform.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the sharing capabilities. Whether it's a simple screen for PowerPointr or sharing videos, it works really well. I have had good success with sharing videos.

The integration with Outlook has been good, which is a nice feature.

Zoom is very easy to use. Even my elderly parents can use it, which is a testament to having ease of use without a lot of people needing to support it.

What needs improvement?

When the firewall is turned on, there have been issues with congestion that affects performance. This is the case even with a strong internet connection.

For how long have I used the solution?

We began using Zoom approximately two years ago.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Generally speaking, connections are fine. Turning off our firewall during a meeting is a good idea.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is fine. We've had no problems adding people to meetings.

We have thousands of Zoom users in the company. There are 10,000 people in the company. I don't know that all of them are using it but certainly, there are at least 2,000.

How are customer service and support?

I have never needed to contact technical support. I am in sales. Our IT people may have been in contact with them.

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

Zoom and Microsoft Teams are our two standard products for meetings.

How was the initial setup?

Zoom is very easy to set up.

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

We generally have a strict budget so the pricing for Zoom is reasonable.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We used to use Webex and switched to Zoom about two years ago. I am not sure why we switched but I can say that Zoom is enormously easier to use than Webex.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Convenient solution with good user interface
Pros and Cons
  • "One of the most valuable features is the user interface. With every new update, they introduce new useful features."
  • "Zoom definitely has to be more secure, but I can't think of any anything else to change."

What is our primary use case?

My primary use case is for virtual meetings. Since this solution is cloud-based, it's always updated to the latest application version. 

What is most valuable?

One of the most valuable features is the user interface. With every new update, they introduce new useful features. 

What needs improvement?

Zoom definitely has to be more secure, but I can't think of any anything else to change. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used Zoom for about two years now. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This solution is scalable. 

How are customer service and support?

I have never contacted technical support. I don't really ever take tech support. 

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

In my organization, we use Microsoft Teams for official meetings and other events. I have also used Google Meet and, briefly, Cisco WebEx, but I use Zoom the most. I used Cisco WebEx only three or four times because I felt that the other options were more convenient. 

How was the initial setup?

The installation is usually pretty straightforward. 

What about the implementation team?

I implemented this solution myself. 

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

I use the free version that is available, so I'm not sure what the licensing prices are. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Zoom a 10 out of 10. I would recommend Zoom to others. I know a lot of people who use Zoom for personal purposes, and a lot of schools and universities have been using Zoom for virtual classes.

It helps me provide support to users because they can share their screen and talk at the same time
Pros and Cons
  • "As a technical support guy, I think it's crucial to be able to connect with people remotely. Zoom is simple to use because they can share the screen and talk. The user can walk me through the issue they are facing."
  • "Yesterday, we had a call, but Zoom closed after 20 or 25 minutes, and we didn't get any alerts. That could be because there was a time limit set. There should be an option, like a button, that allows us to increase or reduce the meeting time."

What is our primary use case?

We use Zoom for one-on-one calls, conferences, and remote support. We used to offer training via Zoom. But in the last two years, the global team switched to Microsoft Teams, so we moved to Teams. Since then, it's been about 50-50 Zoom and Teams, but prior to February, we had three or four meetings via Zoom daily. Before Teams, we were using Lync, which is the predecessor of Teams. 

How has it helped my organization?

Zoom is interactive. We can connect with more users. Sometimes we host meetings with hundreds of people, and I can see who is talking.

What is most valuable?

As a technical support guy, I think it's crucial to be able to connect with people remotely. Zoom is simple to use because they can share the screen and talk. The user can walk me through the issue they are facing. You don't need to be in the office or on the network. If a user can connect to the internet, then they can share their screen. Aside from support, it's also a great way to provide training to our users. 

What needs improvement?

Yesterday, we had a call, but Zoom closed after 20 or 25 minutes, and we didn't get any alerts. That could be because there was a time limit set. There should be an option, like a button, that allows us to increase or reduce the meeting time. We had to cancel and change the time of the meeting.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using Zoom for around four or five years

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Zoom is perfectly fine.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Zoom isn't scaled, but I don't think there are any issues with the scalability.

How are customer service and support?

Two or three years ago the global team was not able to use a feature on the old version. Suddenly, Zoom wasn't working. They contacted Zoom support and got everyone to update their software. But I haven't had any personal experience with support. Once we had a problem with the background images changing, but that was a minor issue, and the Zoom team walked us through how to fix it.

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Zoom is pretty standard. It's a "next, next, finish" installer. You don't have to do anything too complicated, and it only takes three or four minutes. There is also a web-based app that is easy to use. Aside from the regular updates, it doesn't need much maintenance, either. 

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

We're using the software that the global team uses. They don't tell us how much they're paying-

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I think Zoom is better than Teams, but they're very different. Zoom is lighter. I tried a remote session with Teams, but it wasn't up to snuff. I cannot share things properly, so I think Zoom is better. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Zoom eight out of 10. If you're planning to use Zoom, you should pay attention to the version your users are working on. Sometimes a lower version is better, so it will work with all users. The lowest version should be compatible with most machines. When you're working with people that have older computers, they might not be able to connect. You need a version that is compatible with everyone's device. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
