We are a small business providing legal services in Alabama. Zoom Workplace Phone has been fantastic! We use Zoom Workplace to communicate with our clients, vendors and colleagues. Having interoffice chat, video calls/meetings & SMS capabilities all in once place has helped us communicate more smoothly both internally and externally. Zoom Workplace does tend to push out updates and even if you tell the software to "always stay up to date," you sometimes have to manually update the software. The mobile phone app is also a bit cumbersome and does not always work well. Sometimes the call quality is low even though we have fiber internet in our building, but we make do. If we get a bad connection, we usually re-attempt the call and 9 times out of 10, the call back fixes the quality issue.
  • Chat
  • Meetings
  • SMS Messaging
  • Streamline app functionality to transfer calls
  • Improve call quality
  • resolve desktop client glitches & inconsistencies
Zoom Workplace phone is great for any small business who wants to stay continuously connected. I think it would also be great for companies with a lot of satellite offices or remote employees. I love the one stop, shop service.

  • improved communication & collaboration
  • cost savings
Zoom Workplace beat all competitors on price. Interface was easy to learn and use and we had already tried Zoom Workplace for meetings before adding phone services so we liked the idea of having that integrated in a single service. SMS messaging and interoffice chat became available later and only gave us more reason to stay with Zoom Workplace.

Zoom Phone was a great fit for us as our staff, mostly non-technical, was all-in on Zoom. We were able to go fully cloud-based with just a handful of handsets. It was easy to use personal cell phones as office phones. The price is competitive with other providers and it works very well for our staff, many of whom do not have offices but work throughout the state. We have had no issues with downtime, and when we've needed tech support for setting up features, Zoom Support has been responsive and very helpful. We recently renewed for another 3 years.
  • Call routing for main numbers without needing call center software
  • Transcription and emailing of voice mails
  • Full functionality on cell phones
  • Easy porting and implementation
  • Intuitive for staff to use
  • Call quality when there is not a good internet connection can be spotty
  • Looking up staff members seems to require one click more than I'd like
Zoom Phone is outstanding when you have multiple offices and some road warriors. Any environment that is well-served by a cloud-based phone system would be well-served by Zoom Phone. It is very easy to manage with current staff. The seamless integration with Zoom Meetings is very helpful. I highly recommend it.

  • Freed us from buying and managing servers for an on-prem system
  • Kept our staff in better touch
  • Provided those we serve with numerous ways to reach specific staff members
Has all the features plus Zoom Meeting integration. Pricing is very competitive. Zoom Webinar is a cut above similar products, so having them all in the same family makes it easier for our staff, most of whom are not technical.

Zoom is used for our staff (social workers, finance, hr, etc) to facilitate meetings and trainings.
  • Screen Sharing - Portion of the screen
  • Universal accessibility
  • Ease of use and not being complicated
  • Setup
  • Integrating into 365 better
  • Documentation
Zoom is easy to use, easy to install, easy to setup. The screensharing, like others is pretty simple but where I think Zoom outpaces others is the actual options of screen sharing. More specific Portion of screen. Using portion of screen is by far the best way (for me) to share my screen when training, having calls.

  • Cost association for licensing (non profit)could be cheaper
  • Easier to access meetings (pc, mac, phones)
Zoom outpaces most of the other companies by miles. Teams is a 2nd but it's not even close. Cost of Zoom for longer meetings, more features might turn people off - but it shouldn't because of the actual features and integration (neat bar, Zoom rooms in 365, etc) - others may do it but they dont do it better or easier.

In the current pandemic situation, we as many organizations, institutions, universities, decided to work practically 100% of the time in a home-office scheme. This brought many challenges such as communication issues, although some tools and programs were told, at the Universidad Iberoamericana A.C. it is customary to still have a lot of communication via telephone. With Zoom Phone, we began to evaluate telephony in the cloud that allows breaking some barriers of the current conception of traditional telephony. We started with 25 licenses and they are still being evaluated for some particular issues.
  • Good sound.
  • Easy to use.
  • Efficient use of the network.
  • Easy interface.
  • More integration with OnPremise PBX.
  • Recycling of DIDs is very difficult for users to handle.
  • Advanced switch features have yet to be implemented.
There are many scenarios where Zoom Phone can be implemented, but one of the ones that work best is when an organization wants to start operations and instead of investing in traditional telephony, it can implement cloud telephony like this solution. Also in a scenario where it does not matter to change DIDs in the face of customer service. A scenario that I do not recommend it when you already have roots in the telephone numbers and you want to migrate all the telephony you have to this cloud scheme because those telephone numbers will be lost and the transition will be complicated, it will create frustration. Another complicated scenario is if it is contemplated to send to work at home and the additional costs of dedicated telephone equipment are not considered, especially when users are used to a traditional physical telephone.

  • Users culture for traditional phone system.
  • Investment in network QoS monitoring and implementation.
  • Integrations with other communications tools.
We are in the evaluation phase therefore the Zoom sample facility to incorporate Zoom Phone licenses into our contract facilitated the testing of this service. Avaya telephony is very robust, but we want to unify the collaboration tools within the organization, so it was ruled out for not adding more tools to our users. With Microsoft Teams, telephony has a lot of potentials but it is a function that is not yet explored due to the licensing process that has to be acquired and it is more bureaucratic.
