We performed a comparison between Blackboard Learning Management and Zoom based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about CYPHER LEARNING, Moodle, Google and others in Learning Management Systems (LMS)."Blackboard enables instructors to collectively gather all the grading data into one place. If students upload content or post it to a Google Doc, I can do my grading and calculate the grades. It is an excellent holding place for all of that data"
"It encompasses various components, including course delivery modules, content management, community engagement features, digital classrooms, and mobile integration."
"One of the most important features is the possibility of creating unlimited subdomains."
"It is scalable."
"The modules and courses are flexible."
"It was easy to use for screen sharing or sharing applications."
"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."
"Overall Zoom functions well."
"I'm using it only for meetings, and it is good for me. It provides options for remote control and screen sharing."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"It always works, and they try to appeal to what the user wants. They added features like background music for those people who use Zoom for online church services. They try to make the solution more useful for the user. For example, I tried to sell WebEx to a church, but I also gave them Zoom for a trial. They were impressed with that because that was the feature they were looking for."
"I like Zoom because of the quality of the image and the resolution. Of course, I know that depends on the hardware you're using. But, still, the image and sound quality are excellent."
"You don't need to be technical in order to use it."
"Blackboard has limitations in terms of delivering content and assessing student assignments because it can't handle large file sizes. It's also limited in its ability to track student activity. Instructors can see the student's most recent login, but they can't follow the activity."
"The solution must provide better integration with third-party software."
"The system falls short in terms of managing assessments and exams effectively."
"The solution is not flexible."
"It would be ideal to create a more responsive or more intuitive template for access from telephones or tablets."
"I don't have any particular issues, but I think the user interface could be improved. Previously, I used Microsoft Teams, where the chat, video, and audio options were all easily accessible in one place, making the user experience smoother. In Zoom, it's a bit more manual. For example, we must use external chat options like Slack and manually send the Zoom URL link to initiate a chat. In MicrosoftTeams, you can directly call and chat with someone from the contact list simultaneously."
"While the communication and video-audio conferencing features on Zoom are excellent, unlike Microsoft Teams, there is no direct integration with SharePoint. For us, that is the disadvantage of Zoom."
"I would like to see an integration with Microsoft."
"In general, the price could be a little cheaper."
"You can use Teams more to collaborate with your coworkers. I think Zoom could add some of these features in addition to simple video conferencing."
"Zoom needs to address the privacy issues I've heard about."
"Zoom could be improved by adding more dashboards."
"Zoom could use more background options."

My comments about Zoom:
The Pros:
- It allows you to schedule any meeting and invites your meeting members at a particular date & time with Meeting Id & Password.
- It allows organizing multiple meetings, to carry out online meetings, file sharing, webinars & group messaging.
- Through the Zoom application, users are given the option to connect to more than one conference room, include more attendees remotely, and conduct face-to-face meetings.
- Zoom offers both native mobile (iOS & Andrioid)and desktop versions that let users collaborate & connect remotely.
- It allows us to record video chat and look at them at a later date & time.
- Whiteboard is a good feature for having a meeting in which everyone can join to type or draw, and write.
If we have a brainstorming-type meeting, we can share our own ideas with the whiteboard.
- Zoom recently implemented a Microsoft Office add-in, which means we can now schedule Zoom meetings without having to go into the Zoom app.
The Cons (from my experience using in Melbourne, Australia):
- Have encountered Slow response sometimes when participants are joining from different geographical locations.
- The Free Version allows having a conference call for 40 minutes. Price could be an issue for the Paid Version.
