Likelihood to Recommend The tool is great for having a day in and day out video calls with the client in today's COVID world, where physical interaction is limited and the best suited is for having meetings with clients and showcasing them the product demonstration, at a large scale as this has smooth video interaction and makes any large scale webinar a piece of cake while using it.
Read full review I've used Zoom Webinars for meetings and webinars from two people to 500 people. It has worked well and reliably in each scenario! I especially appreciate that viewers can turn on closed captions if they need them or can have the language translated. That makes this very helpful for our teammates that need that type of assistance.
Read full review Pros It charges my laptop while being an amazing secondary monitor. Optimizes the video and audio with superior sound and microphones. A very nice compact digital whiteboard. Hooks in with Webex meetings and Teams in such a seamless way. Handles calling like a desk phone and is natural to use. Looks so beautiful and is such a great addition to your desk. Read full review Simple user experience--very intuitive for attendees to join, interact with Q&A Adaptable and feature rich--very easy to set up Webinars for different use cases with features like registration, Q&A, practice session, HQ video, branding and virtual backgrounds, polls/quizzes, post-surveys, breakouts, resources, production studio, FB/YT Live, captions/translation, etc Aesthetically pleasing--new branding options (such as webinar wallpaper, custom backgrounds, and name tags), plus the recent addition of the Production Studio feature, means it's easier than ever to produce beautiful and appealing webinars. Panelists, practice session, and backstage--Zoom makes it easy to set up webinar panelists ahead of time, and get them into the room early for a practice session. The new backstage option is even more powerful than the practice session feature. The bleeding edge--Zoom is continually adding powerful new features for Webinar rooms, where other programs leave you with the same ol' stagnant feature set. Read full review Cons The WebRTC function that's used for certain meeting types should include a progress bar. A lot of users think the device is frozen. At entry, the price was a bit high. I haven't bought one recently. More backgrounds would be nice. Read full review Like most Zoom products, Zoom Events is actively being improved and updated. The release cycle is monthly, which means event planners need to keep up with changes. While Zoom Events also works for in-person only events, this will require a certain mind-set shift to work well for many organizations. There is a core group of small business Zoom Events users who can provide help to new-comers, and an increasing number of helpful on-boarding resources, but Zoom Tier 1 support still starts out with the most pedantic questions; it's difficult to reach someone who can really help you with a difficult problem if you are not a large Zoom customer. Professional Services is available from Zoom, but it the cost is out of reach of most small businesses and non-profit organizations.

Read full review Support Rating I have not had to use support yet as our use of Webex Desk Pro is so new, but all the questions that I have had have been answered with such promptness and clarity that it is clear Cisco has a passion about this device and about providing high quality in all that they do.

Read full review Implementation Rating Implementation was very feasible during our initial usage of the Zoom after COVID-19.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Organisation decided to went ahead with Cisco Webex Desk Pro becase of these following key differences: 1.- Microphone: Advanced noise-canceling microphone array vs Built-in microphone with
Logitech MeetUp . 2.- Speakers: Superior Sound system vs Built-in speakerphone with
Logitech MeetUp . 3.- Display: 27-inch 4K touchscreen vs. No touchscreen with
Logitech MeetUp . Cisco TAC support is great.
Read full review Go To Webinar has been the standard in webinar technology for years. But it's a terrible experience from an administrator's perspective. You start the program, and 15 windows pop-up, giving you all sorts of configuration choices. In order to operate a webinar smoothly, we needed 4 members on the team (1 speaker, 1 moderator, 2 people managing any tech unknowns and set things up.) Zoom Webinar can be done with a single person because of how easy the options are. Also, put
GoToWebinar in front of somebody new - and watch them fumble for 15 minutes trying to figure out how to present. Zoom, there's not much to explain. Everything is clearly laid out with a clean UX design.
Read full review Return on Investment For team work, projects are completed sooner and you can make a profit Saving time and this means the possibility of more profit If the number of projects is large, the investment will return quickly The software license fee is too high Read full review I am a user of Zoom, not an administrator, so I can't speak to it's ROI outside of how it effectively allows me to conduct presentations with groups of people I wouldn't normally have in the same room. Zoom has a very positive impact on keeping me connected with my colleagues in a more human way through the use of video and audio when we are conducting meetings. This helps strengthen work relationships so there are less misunderstandings from email or text only systems. Zoom has allowed my company with remote employees all over the place, in addition to multiple physical office locations, conduct quarterly meetings with our CEO that make everyone feel involved.
