"The ability to share content is a great feature.""Zoom is easy to use and you can have a session with someone with a few mouse clicks. It is easier to use than Microsoft Teams.""The solution is easy to use and loads up documents for sharing.""Screen Sharing is the most valuable feature in Zoom for me.""There is no installation, you can give someone a link to the chat and they can access the chat through the link.""I'm not a really technologically sophisticated user. From my point of view, if I can use it, it's likely very straightforward.""The most valuable features of Zoom are simplicity and reliability.""The solution is easy to use with an easy user interface."

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."

More IBM Cloud Video Cons →

"I would like to see an integration with Microsoft.""If Zoom could be more secure, that would be better. Security is always a highly sensitive matter for everyone today.""Zoom could use more background options.""Zoom could be improved by adding more dashboards.""The interface requires some slight improvement in that it could better show the meeting attendees.""The platform's feature for screen sharing needs improvement.""I can't think of any features that are lacking.""The pricing of the product could be lowered a bit."
