Zoom Workplace Business Reviews

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.

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

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

I have been using Zoom for approximately one year.

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.

We used another video conferencing solution for approximately two months.

Zoom is very easy to set up. You simply download it and use it.

If you have any confusion, you can get information about setting it up from YouTube or Google. It's very easy.

I deployed it myself. No technical team is needed for deployment.

We pay a yearly licensing fee.

Overall, this is a good product and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

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.

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.

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.

We began using Zoom approximately two years ago.

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

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.

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

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

Zoom is very easy to set up.

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

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.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

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. 

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

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. 

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.

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

Zoom is perfectly fine.

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

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.

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. 

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

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. 

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.

Microsoft Azure

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

I use Zoom primarily for video conferencing. We have been using it as our main internal communication tool for our video conferencing needs.

Zoom is a popular solution and was one of the first to introduce video collaboration. It provides the usual benefits of collaboration. It is a tool that is specially tailored for video conferencing, offering most of the necessary features for this purpose. Additionally, Zoom is available for free for up to forty minutes.

Zoom could improve its security. I heard they had a breach the last time.

I have been using Zoom for two years now.

There have been no stability issues or downtimes. Everything has been good.

I never had any reason to contact Zoom's technical support.

Positive

It was not difficult at all to configure Zoom initially or to start a conference.

Zoom offers a free version for up to forty minutes.

I would rate Zoom at nine out of ten, as nothing's perfect. I would rate the overall solution nine out of ten.

It was an enterprise subscription primarily intended for tech companies supporting us. We mainly used Zoom, and at some point, our management also acquired a Zoom subscription specifically for manager meetings.

It has been rolling out exciting features that enhance collaboration and simplify meeting scheduling and management. Zoom was quite effective until a security issue arose, which caused some users to leave. However, they quickly addressed the problem, which can happen with any technology. Overall, Zoom has introduced many features that align well with current market needs for meetings and collaboration.

Important features include whiteboard control, the ability to set up lobbies, and managing how attendees join the meeting. 

The pricing model for Zoom was not very friendly.

I have been using Zoom for last ten years.

Zoom is very stable and it's also very lightweight. It really doesn't consume a lot of bandwidth.

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

The initial setup was easy and takes 10 minutes to complete.

To deploy, the first thing is subscription, so you have to go and register. Then once you're registered, it’ll send an activation link. Once you activate you download Zoom, log in, and move on.

When evaluating return on investment, two key factors come to mind. First is having ample storage, which allows you to share and retain meeting information for future reference, making it a valuable asset. Second is pricing, which is crucial for aligning the solution with your budget and ensuring it offers good value for the cost.

For those seeking a versatile option, Zoom is a strong competitor in the market. While there are many products to explore, Zoom stands out as a solid choice. It offers excellent security features, including comprehensive controls for connections, streaming, recording, and sharing information. Since addressing a previous breach, Zoom has maintained robust security. Overall, its security support is commendable, and it continues to be a reliable solution

Overall, I rate the solution a nine 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.
