Easy setup and an a la carte pricing model
Our team produces white-glove events. Our producers and event specialists use the solution for private events, meetings, and some public events.  The solution works well with third-party integrations.  The solution needs a more modern interface. One of our biggest complaints is that we don't have…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution works well with third-party integrations."
"Friendly user interface and simple navigation."
"Screen Sharing is the most valuable feature in Zoom for me."
"Zoom's interface is nice and has good performance."
"All you need is a laptop or mobile device and a connection to the internet."
"The video and audio quality are very good."
"The collaboration features are good."
"There are lots of great features available to every user."
"Compared to Teams, Zoom's performance and user interface are better. This is especially the case when you're doing any kind of online presentation, PowerPoint, or team demo. I think Zoom is much more user friendly."
"The video stream is very cool, and it's an efficient solution."
 

Cons

"Bandwidth optimization could be increased."
"The solution needs a more modern interface."
"There is insufficient customization."
"One of the main concerns is the difficulty of using it on your mobile device."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see something like a virtual board or conference room where participants are seated around a virtual table, and pictures of them sitting on the chair or an avatar that the user can choose and control within that virtual world."
"The video quality should be better. Sometimes when there are updates at the backend, Zoom won't respond properly during that time."
"The solution needs to have a feature that allows you to take over another person's screen. right now, that's not possible. This is important for our purposes due to the act that we are often using the solution to troubleshoot issues for our clients. If we could just take over their screen and go in and fix issues, it would make troubleshooting infinitely easier."
"There could be more integration options for Zoom."
"The stability has been good but it could still improve. However, I have not found a better solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid $1,800 for five webinars, which is the standard fee. If you require support there is a $300 additional fee, extra attendees is an additional fee, integration is an additional fee, etc. All these extras could add on another $2,500 which was not in our budget."
"The licensing fees are quite expensive."
"My company is using the paid version of Zoom."
"For personal use, I use the free version of Zoom, so I haven't paid anything."
"The cost for Zoom is reasonable."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. It is not affordable for small businesses."
"There is some basic functionality that's free but if you want to host longer meetings and have more participants, then there is a licensing fee."
"The price of Zoom is a bit expensive."
"Zoom is licensed as a subscription model and it is available on a monthly or yearly basis."
