"One of the features that people enjoy is the whiteboard, providing opportunities for academics to present content and for students to contribute. The platform also allows for the creating of different rooms, enabling large classes to break into smaller groups for discussions. Students can then return to the main classroom to share their opinions. It integrates with LMS."
"The solution allows me to connect and collaborate with my classes."
"The ability to record our online language lessons is great and helps our students"
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"The high capacity means that you can have a lot of people in the same meeting. I once attended a meeting with approximately 400 people."
"Zoom is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Zoom are the screen blur and the background transition, which is great because we are working from home. Without this feature we would not have private meetings, they do not need to see what is happening in our background. The background transition is good with Zoom."
"Zoom did everything that we needed it to do."
"I don't have any issues with the scalability of Zoom."
"A stable option that is good for small to medium sized companies with limited use."
"The system can overload when too many try logging in."
"We faced outages when the user limit went over a certain number."
"If there were maybe more tutorials outside of what I'm aware the university is suggesting, I would take more tutorials on effective ways to deliver content. I come from the industry and content was always needed when people that were observing were smart and involved and decision-makers instead of so passively just trying to pass the course. In my imagination, the tutorials would be a tool where the learners themselves can have much more hands-on learning during a Collaborate session."
"Recently, most of the people in my organization have not been able to dial in using the telephone number and have been required to join meetings using their devices."
"Extra security would be a good added feature."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required since sometimes users get dropped off from meetings."
"Zoom will be cheaper if you want to have a general meeting, but if you want a real enterprise version, Cisco will be cheaper."
"I would like to see them develop end-to-end encryption, like WhatsApp. That would improve the security of the software."
"I found it very confusing to set up a meeting."
"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."
"The next version should include features like conflict resolution and Version Control."
