Find out what your peers are saying about Zoom Video Communications, Cisco, TeamViewer and others in Virtual Meetings."I am impressed with the tool's production support."
"I've been using Zoom since the pandemic started. It's actually been a life saving product under the circumstances that were thrust on everybody."
"The solution can scale easily."
"The most valuable feature is how stable Zoom is. Compared to other collaboration tools, I haven't seen Zoom crash often. Zoom is also better in terms of security. From a usability perspective, a user's perspective, the overall experience of using Zoom is very good. It's a simple, fast, very seamless solution, and pretty lightweight."
"Zoom is a scalable solution, we have 150,000 people using it in my organization."
"I'm not a really technologically sophisticated user. From my point of view, if I can use it, it's likely very straightforward."
"The standout feature of Zoom is its excellent connectivity, offering high-quality audio and video. Additionally, its familiarity stems from being an early adopter in the field of online communication during the onset of epidemics. Previously, I had used a different system for video conferences in another company, which primarily relied on room-based conferences rather than peer-to-peer video conferencing. However, with the need to communicate directly with peers, Zoom emerged as the first and preferred choice for me. Overall, I consider it the top option and the primary tool I use. Additionally, the solution has all the functionality I need."
"The feature I find the most about Zoom is that you can have a private chat in a group call."
"Zoom is stable and I haven't had any problems with it."
"The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."
"It's not really the fault of the product, however, the internet connectivity can sometimes be an issue."
"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."
"Compared to Skype and Teams, Zoom is missing one feature, and that's the ability to call people. In Teams, I can call anyone I want. It's like a telephone. I can do the same on Skype, but I have to send a link in Zoom."
"It's a heavy application that requires a lot of bandwidth. I would like to see Zoom incorporate those features where you can share documents and form teams while still maintaining efficiency."
"Zoom should continue to add new features to the product."
"Zoom has frequent updates, occurring every week or twice a week. This poses a significant issue because sometimes when we attempt to initiate a call, the system begins an upgrade process, taking at least 30 seconds and sometimes up to two minutes. This unscheduled upgrade can be inconvenient for users, as they must wait for the update to complete."
"Zoom could improve by allowing multiple users to share their screens at the same time."
"The solution could be a bit more user-friendly."
