Zoom Reviews

Zoom is easy to use and you can have a session with someone with a few mouse clicks. It is easier to use than Microsoft Teams.

The free version of Zoom only allows you to have a call session for approximately 45 minutes. This should be extended.

I have used Zoom within the last 12 months.

I have found Zoom to be stable.

Zoom is a scalable solution.

I have not used the support from Zoom.

I have used other similar solutions to Zoom, such as Microsoft Teams. I found that Zoom is better than Microsoft Teams.

Zoom is a very good tool as long as you have a good connection.

I rate Zoom a nine out of ten.

I've been using this solution for meetings, both within the company and externally with our customers. 

I like that Zoom provides video access, which I believe provides for better communication and a more relaxed situation. I know some people don't like it, but I do. I'm not a power user but it suits my requirements and does what I need. 

Troubleshooting on Zoom can be complicated. You can get a message: "I can't find your camera." It worked yesterday but it doesn't work today. The problem is that the camera is not available in Windows. It requires Windows troubleshooting skills. Zoom uses what Windows offers and Windows fails to offer the camera. The same holds for audio. If you switch to a different headphone in the middle of a meeting, Zoom can't find it because it's a Windows problem. It usually requires canceling the call, fixing the problem and calling again. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is quite scalable, I can invite up to 50 people onto a call and I can invite 100 people if I have that kind of license. 

I find the initial setup a little awkward. 

Licensing costs depend on the number of people per call and the length of calls. There is a standard license for 50 participants that we use. Above that number, you need a special license.

I find Zoom easier to use and easier to troubleshoot than Microsoft Teams so I would recommend it. 

I rate Zoom eight out of 10. 

We primarily use the solution for virtual meetings.

You just need the internet to access it. 

As a user, you can just download it. People can send the link and a person can download it very easily. It offers very easy access.

It's user-friendly. You don't need to be technical in order to use it. 

The user interface is very friendly.

Everything is plugged right into your browser. It's nice and simple.

The solution is very stable.

I've found the scalability to be okay, however, at the same time, it's somewhat limited. 

The dashboard is a bit limited, however, it meets our day-to-day requirements.

Zoom should improve aspects of its security.

I've used the solution for the last three years.

You can only really have 100 users at a time. That said, for us, it's not an issue. It can scale to meet our needs. We wouldn't go beyond that threshold. 

In our company, everyone uses the product, including management. 

I'm not sure if there are plans to increase usage. That would be based on a decision made by corporate.

I've never directly dealt with Zoom technical support. We have our own internal IT team. If we run into problems with anything, we turn to them. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful Zoom is if customers have issues. 

We have also used Cisco WebEx. We used it about three years ago. My understanding is that WebEx is a bit more secure than Zoom.

The product does not require any installation. It automatically just plugs in, actually. You click on a link and you can start using it.

I'm not sure about the licensing. Our technical team handles these aspects. I can't speak to the exact costs as I don't buy it myself. 

I'm just an end-user.

We are using the latest version of the solution. It's cloud-based and therefore always updated.

I'd recommend the solution to others.

I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

I primarily use Zoom for virtual meetings. Some of the meetings are only with two people, meeting one-on-one for teaching.

The screen sharing capability is useful for teaching.

Zoom is not a good product for webinars. In a webinar, you have a presenter and maybe a co-presenter, with a lot of people listening, perhaps sending questions. Zoom is more for real meetings where everyone has to contribute something, and more than one person is sharing their screen.

Setting up the single sign-on took a little bit more time. It's a really nice feature to have because people can't remember passwords, so they tend to be too simple.

I have been working with Zoom for the past year and a half.

This is a very stable platform.

Zoom is a scalable product. For the client that I am administering Zoom for, we have a few hundred users and everyone in the organization can make a Zoom account.

I have not been in contact with technical support from Zoom.

In addition to Zoom, I am currently using Microsoft Teams. I have used Webex in the past but I don't really like it. I have never personally hosted a meeting using Webex, but I have been an attendee. My impression is that Webex is more suitable for webinars.

The image and sound quality are better on Zoom than on Microsoft Teams.

These are different products for different environments and different occasions.

Zoom is easy to install and set up. It takes maybe five minutes to complete.

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. In fact, the costs of this could be cheaper.

The license for Zoom is something that people will be willing to pay as long as it remains superior to products like Microsoft Teams, in terms of audio and visual quality.

My brother is a big fan of Linux, and I got him to use a Zoom version that was built for Linux. 

One thing to keep in mind is that Zoom costs money and if somebody already has a Microsoft Teams account, the only reason for them to use Zoom is the improved quality of service. As long as the quality difference is big enough, we will continue to use Zoom. Microsoft tends to get better over time and if Microsoft Teams becomes good enough, it will be difficult for Zoom to keep its place in the market.

Overall, Zoom is a good product and I recommend it for video conferencing. That is what it's made for. The fact that it's a standalone product has certain benefits. For example, Microsoft Teams is integrated with everything from Microsoft. It works well for those use cases but sometimes, you just don't want that. I expect that Zoom will eventually integrate more with other products from Microsoft but I actually hope that they don't. They would be recreating something that is already there.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I use my Mac to conduct Zoom meetings with those who are interested, which runs on my browser. 

I have come across the run of the mill issues which someone would expect to find with these communication solutions. There are occasional latency, sound and audio quality difficulties. 

The solution is good, but it's not perfect.

A big feature I wish to see would involve the ability to attach documents while conducting a session. 

I have been using Zoom for around a year-and-a-half.

The solution is much better and more reliable than Microsoft Teams or Webex.

I am not the one in charge of the decisions. People, such as recruiters and hiring managers, are the ones who make the decision to conduct a one-on-one meeting. Nowadays, these things are done remotely and the people, at turns, may specify Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Webex. This can vary. I deal with all of these solutions. 

I believe that Zoom is deployed in the cloud.

We provide software as a service.

I rate Zoom around a seven out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution to conferencing for meetings. We simply use it for video conferences. 

I really like its ability to handle large meetings. Zoom has is the capability to support many individuals in one meeting at a time. With Teams, we are limited to 250 users and Zoom allows us to add more people than that to the meeting.

The interface is very intuitive. It's very easy to use. 

It's a great tool. The product has great sound and video quality.

The installation process is very simple.

I don't use the solution very often. Therefore, I can't speak to dealing with any missing features.

In the free version, you are restricted to just 40-minute meetings, however, it is free, and therefore you can't ask for too much. It's still okay.

It would be nice if they could add collaboration tools. With Microsoft Teams, for example, you can work directly on a document when you are on a call. It would be nice if you could do something similar on Zoom.

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the quality is good.

The solution can scale in the sense that you can add many people to one call. It's better than, for example, Microsoft Teams. 

I've never dealt with technical support. I haven't had any reason to contact that. Therefore, I cannot speak to how helpful or responsive they would be.

Our office use is using Microsoft Teams.

Zoom works better for when you need many people in one meeting. 

The only reason we use Teams instead of Zoom is we have Microsoft in our business and we have to use it.

The initial setup is very simple and straightforward. It's not overly complex or difficult. To deploy the solution takes one or two minutes. The package is very small. The software download is 10 or 20 minutes or something like that. It is a very short time.

We don't pay for licenses. When our clients are using Zoom, we must use the free version.

I'm not sure how much the paid version costs.

We are just a Zoom customer and end-user.

Last week, I updated the solution, and therefore am on the latest version of the product. However, I don't know the exact version number I am now on.

During the pandemic, we really did use Zoom a lot. 

It's very easy to use. It is very stable. It has good quality. You can use it with any device. It's a great tool. I've had a great experience with it overall. 

I would rate it at a nine out of ten. 

We use Zoom in our organization for internal meetings.

Zoom is very convenient to use and the basic functions work well for us.

Zoom could improve by allowing multiple users to share their screens at the same time.

We have been satisfied with the basic functions, but if we want something more robust to emulate the office environment that you can see different screens, raise your hands, and have pop-up questions everyone can see. Zoom could improve on these features to make it more like a chat room.

I have been using Zoom for approximately six months.

I rate Zoom an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for virtual meetings. 

The performance could be better. 

We have been using Zoom for a few months.

The solution is stable. 

I cannot say for certain if the solution is scalable. 

We have not had occasion to contact technical support. 

Before using Zoom we used Cisco Webex. 

The installation was easy, although I do not recall how long it took. 

We do not incur any licensing costs, as we use the free version. 

As we use another collaboration tool, I believe there to be a couple of users making use of the solution in our organization. 

I would not recommend the solution to others. 

I rate Zoom as a six out of ten.
