"It's got a simple, easy-to-understand user interface."
"Zoom works fine, and its interface is easier to use than, for example, Teams, which is the other tool I would compare it to. It's also easy to schedule Zoom meetings through Outlook."
"Zoom is a stable solution."

"In Cisco Meeting Server, GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Cisco Meeting Server should include a feature to control another user's screen during a remote session."

"When you are connected to one device and you're going to log into another one, Zoom should ask you to transfer without having to disconnect you."
