Find out in this report how the two Virtual Meetings solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution allows me to connect and collaborate with my classes."
"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."
"Document loading and annotation."
"The solution is easy to use and loads up documents for sharing."
"I don't have any issue with the pricing."
"Another advantage of Zoom is that it is easier to link a person that is not a Zoom user than it is with WebEx."
"Zoom is a scalable solution, we have 150,000 people using it in my organization."
"Simple and user-friendly; works on any device."
"The most valuable features are the video conferencing and the whole invite to set up a meeting is really easy to figure out and use. The chat functions are pretty simple as well."
"I have found the product to be scalable."
"It's easy to use and at this point, it's certainly ubiquitous. It's everywhere."
"We faced outages when the user limit went over a certain number."
"The system can overload when too many try logging in."
"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."
"The security needs to be improved."
"There are occasional latency, sound and audio quality difficulties."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"I would like to be able to have multiple users open and collaborate on a document at the same time."
"One of the main concerns is the difficulty of using it on your mobile device."
"Zoom lacks dashboards, more could be included."
"Zoom often does fixes or checks the vulnerability of their solution. However, they could increase security."
"For me, the only thing I'd suggest is to make the pricing more affordable."
