Zoom Workplace Business Reviews

For a professional services agency, Zoom serves as a go-to tool for virtual client interactions and internal collaboration. It's ideal for client consultations, project meetings, and presentations due to high-quality video and audio, creating a seamless virtual experience. The screen-sharing feature is perfect for sharing documents and data during discussions, ensuring clarity and efficiency.

Zoom's recording and transcription capabilities enable the agency to archive important discussions for future reference and compliance purposes. Its chat function allows real-time communication during meetings, enhancing engagement and providing a space for questions and comments.

Zoom's breakout rooms enable the agency to host multiple client meetings or internal working groups concurrently, optimizing time and resources. The integration with various apps streamlines tasks, such as scheduling and document sharing. 

The solution is totally intuitive, stable, and scalable. We use Zoom for client meetings, internal meetings, webinars, and more. It keeps us all connected. 

It is a game-changer for virtual communication, and it is incredibly user-friendly, making it a go-to choice for remote meetings, webinars, and online collaboration. 

The high-quality video and audio are reliable. The screen sharing and recording features are fantastic for presentations, and the chat function enhances real-time engagement. 

Zoom's breakout rooms are perfect for group work, and the integration with our various apps simplifies tasks.

I love the high-definition video and audio. These help ensure that meetings are as close to in-person as possible. 

Screen sharing and recording capabilities are invaluable for presentations and archiving discussions. The chat function allows for instant messaging, enhancing real-time collaboration. 

Zoom's breakout rooms facilitate seamless group work, making it a versatile tool for businesses and educators. 

Its integration with a wide range of apps simplifies workflows, while virtual backgrounds add a touch of creativity and professionalism to meetings. Zoom consistently updates and refines its features, ensuring users benefit fully from the investment.

The new AI tools look interesting; however, I haven't yet fully explored them.

Zoom is a fantastic tool. That said, there are always areas where it could improve. 

Excessive software updates can sometimes disrupt my experience. Zoom should consider a more transparent update schedule and allow users to opt for manual updates if they prefer stability over the latest features.

Enhanced security measures could be a priority to safeguard against potential breaches and ensure user privacy. 

Customization options for the user interface and more advanced moderation tools are also areas for potential growth.

Addressing these issues and listening to user feedback can make it even more user-friendly and secure, ensuring its continued success in the future.

I've used the solution for approximately seven years.

Zoom is quite easy to use and user-friendly.

The main purpose of Zoom is to hold virtual meetings.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

On-premises

I use it for everything, including my personal uses. To meet clients outside of Microsoft Teams, I use Zoom. Also, I use it for meetings in general with clients, volunteer work for meeting people across the world and trying to do different things on the platform. So, it helps me have conversations while trying to figure out how we can help other people. I don't think there's a day that I don't use them. I use it every time.

There are a lot of features in the solution. Besides the fact that you can speak with anyone from across the world, you can also see each other. Also, I really appreciate being able to record whatever is being set on Zoom, especially when I can use it for the onboarding process. So, I have such case scenarios and examples. I think that's one of the main features I love about Zoom.

I think Zoom should be introduced for the phone because we can use it on its own. I guess graphic design or the user experience they provide can be changed. The design could be changed. I find it kind of difficult to use Zoom, especially with clients and co-workers, friends and family who do not like to use Zoom on their phones because it's hard or difficult compared to a laptop. One of the main concerns is the difficulty of using it on your mobile device.

I have been using Zoom since COVID started, which was 2020. I am using Zoom Version 5.14.8. I am a user of the solution.

The only time it lags is when we are in a bad spot for Wi-Fi, so it depends on where I'm working. Suppose I'm working at a cafe or maybe at an airport. Also, since I am a graphic web designer, if I have too much storage being taken up, it will lag to the point where I have to move things onto a different desktop so that viewing can be used. So I think that's another kind of issue that I'm having. I'm trying to figure out if that's on my side or if it is an ongoing issue at the moment.

I had to contact customer service and support a couple of times, but I think there were a couple of times when Zoom itself contacted me. I think it had crashed once, but they had emailed me saying that if I was experiencing something, it would take about twenty-four hours to be fixed.

The initial setup was very easy.

The solution is worth the money.

I am paying to use the solution. I am making yearly payments. So, I am paying 250 USD a year.

Zoom is very efficient for everyone since it's very easy to use. Even if they don't have the app, I can send them a link to them, and it opens up. I know, for the different people that I work with, that such things may be a little bit old, and I say this because I am not tech-savvy. It's something I can rely on, and I know it is easier to use. I don't use Skype because I've never really trusted it over the years. The only other virtual meetings I used to do were on Microsoft Teams, but that's really just for, like, my budget. Zoom can be used by those who are not tech-savvy.

To others, I would say that it is a great platform to be able to meet other people. It's a great way of communication, and we're able to get instant results. Also, it's great for the conference solution. You can share data. So, I would definitely recommend it to others for sure.

I honestly love the solution owing to how I can share my meetings and my screens. There is even a game feature we use, and it is helpful since my family is spread across the world. So I just love how we, like, really made it easier for me for people everywhere.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been using Zoom for approximately 10 years.

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.

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.

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

Positive

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Public Cloud

Google

My main use case is to connect with customers pretty regularly using Zoom. I send them a link through a calendar invite with the Zoom link attached. When it is time for our call, we get on Zoom and meet.

I like the filters and background filters that I can incorporate. I find they work better than competitors like Google Meet or Microsoft Teams. Zoom is just a tool that I use to make my job easier.

I do not really have much feedback for Zoom. It meets all of my needs.

I have been using Zoom here at PeerSpot for three and a half years.

Zoom is stable.

Ever since I started at PeerSpot, I have been using Zoom, so I do not have any experience really using other solutions.

The initial setup was straightforward.

Zoom is much better than the competitors out there that I have sporadically used, so I would recommend it. I would give it a nine.

Other

We use the solution to conduct online meetings and video calls.

The solution helps increase productivity by allowing online collaboration and conducting video calls.

The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to blur the background. This feature allows me to take calls even if I'm not in an office setting. The solution's 'mute all' feature allows you to mute the other participants in a large webinar if you do not want everybody talking. Zoom has a security feature that allows only authorized participants to join the meeting.

The solution should include the integration of AI-based tools that could transcript or record the meetings.

I have been using Zoom for two years.

Zoom is a pretty stable solution.

I rate the solution’s stability ten out of ten.

Pretty much everybody in our organization uses the solution once a few days.

I rate the solution’s scalability ten out of ten.

We also use the Google Meet tool. We decided to use Zoom because it is easier to set up and more intuitive.

First-time users have to download an app on the machine, which takes time and adds to the time required for the setup. Setting up Zoom for the first time took three to four minutes.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup an eight out of ten.

The solution increases efficiency and productivity by allowing people to collaborate during the pandemic while working from home or during odd hours.

I am using the latest version of Zoom. Zoom is deployed on the cloud, and we use the Google Workspace cloud provider.

Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

I use the solution for personal meetings where I have discussions with outside people.

The solution is easy to set up and use. I feel Zoom is stable for the kind of requirement I have. The solution provides good video quality. Zoom has good screen-sharing and presentation capabilities.

Zoom should introduce AI features that allow you to understand a person's emotions.

I have been using Zoom for many years.

I rate the solution’s stability an eight out of ten.

The solution’s initial setup is easy.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I use Zoom for virtual meetings and training sessions where instructors can teach thousands of people.

The most valuable features for me are the spotlight feature and the ability to share video with audio, which some other platforms, like Microsoft Teams, lack. We use it to present sessions and teach end customers or users.

The tool could be more user-friendly, especially for finding options to present screens.

I have been using the solution for six to seven years. 

I'd rate Zoom's stability as ten out of ten.

For scalability, I'd rate Zoom nine to ten out of ten. My company has 700 users. We don't plan to increase usage as we're close to our license limit.

Before Zoom, we used Microsoft Teams but switched due to limitations with large audiences and a lack of features.

I'd rate the initial setup about seven out of ten for ease. We deploy Zoom on the cloud, which takes about five to six minutes to install. It's a simple process of running an executable file with a few clicks. We don't need additional settings or many people for maintenance.

The solution is affordable. 

Overall, I would rate Zoom a ten out of ten. 

Our primary use case for Zoom is meeting with business partners and other organizations.

The solution has been valuable in facilitating remote communication and collaboration during the pandemic when physical meetings were impossible.

The product's stability needs improvement.

We have been using Zoom for one and a half years.

I rate the product's stability an eight out of ten. There is always room for improvement.

The product is scalable.

I have used Microsoft Teams earlier.

The platform is easy to deploy.

Zoom was free and adopted by most organizations for business communication during the pandemic.

I rate it an eight out of ten.

We use Zoom to schedule meetings with internal team members and external partners.

The platform has a solid feature for scheduling short meetings worth 30 minutes.

They could address the product's limitation of the free version, particularly the 40-minute time constraint on meetings.

It is a stable platform. I rate the stability a ten out of ten.

We have around 11 Zoom users in our organization. We use it from time to time depending on the requirement. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

It is easy to deploy and takes five minutes to complete the process. It involves installing the application on the desktop, signing up, and creating a meeting room.

We use the free version of the product. We utilize it only three to four times a month.

The platform provides the easiest way to install or sign up the account. We can then schedule the meeting with an agenda and send an invite email to the attendees. It is a reliable product and offers enough services for our business requirements in terms of productivity.

I advise others to purchase Zoom’s license for unlimited meeting durations. The free version is enough for us, particularly for a spam-free environment with limited internal or external collaborations.

I rate it a ten out of ten.
