"The most valuable features of Zoom are quick connectivity, screen sharing, and quick response.""The quality of the connection from Zoom is very good. There are many functions and features available. I am only a basic user and it has more than I will ever use. It has lower bandwidths than other products that we have used and has worked well. It is important to have good quality sound and video than anything else.""I rate Zoom as an eight out of ten, owing to the quality of its video and audio, its accountability, ease of use and intuitiveness.""The solution is stable and scalable.""Zoom is incredibly easy to install. You can download it immediately on a mobile phone or go to the website. You don't need a lot of IT skills to get it running.""The screen-sharing capabilities are very good.""The ability to record our online language lessons is great and helps our students""It is a scalable solution."

Cons
"They should improve the registration gateway. Currently, you can't do a pre-event registration that's straightforward. You have to do an API to integrate. It would be a lot easier if they had that."

"Although I have not experienced this issue directly, I have heard that there are a lot of security issues with Zoom. Security is very important to us and I have read in the news, there have been a few security issues with them, which worries us in general. We have to update this solution to use it for business purposes soon. We have to check it with an independent security product to verify its safety.""I can't speak to any aspect that needs improvement.""The interface could be more user-friendly.""There were several instances where we couldn't connect into a meeting just on video and then couldn't even dial-in.""In general, the price could be a little cheaper.""In Zoom meetings, video quality is an area of concern where improvements are required.""I can't speak of any shortcomings. It worked fine.""The only limitation in Zoom is related to the time limit for a call, which is about 40 minutes."
