Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the user interface. There aren't too many buttons that the audience will have to fiddle with."

More IBM Cloud Video Pros →

"It allows for both support and communication at the same time.""It has efficient security features as well.""Zoom has good integration and allows users to adjust the video image, other solutions I have used do not have this feature.""I don't have any issues with the scalability of Zoom.""The ability to share graphics and visuals.""Zoom is easy for non-tech people to use. It's straightforward and simple.""I'm using it only for meetings, and it is good for me. It provides options for remote control and screen sharing.""There are many valuable features. Security is one – you can lock Zoom meetings when you find that all the participants have joined so that there are no intruders."

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 →

"Zoom could use more background options.""I would like to see support for transferring files.""The privacy settings need to be more apparent, otherwise anyone can wander into meeting rooms and disrupt them.""Zoom's audio quality could be improved. I feel like Teams is more reliable because sometimes the audio is patchy on Zoom, whereas I've never had a problem with Teams.""There is insufficient customization.""The security can be improved because this is one of the reasons that my organization prefers to use Skype.""It would be helpful if Zoom could integrate with our medical systems.""Zoom definitely has to be more secure, but I can't think of any anything else to change."
