Class Technologies, Inc
I feel like there is no major drawbacks of Class for Zoom app. However some of the area it has outshines well where some of its performance needs more enhancement. It is best to use for Corporate Training, higher education or certification program, skills development workshop. However its less suitable for promotional meeting where large number of participants are present. It is not suggested for old systems since lagging issue is there. Self paced learning its not suitable.

Streaming Live content Organisation of content Selling content Authentication Containerisation Its good for receiving files into drop folders where clients can access to have it picked up by one of eight batch processes. We have the software, installed across 8 instances. This then extracts the media and pushes it through the Newrow, from Kaltura transcoding which will give us different flavours of video output files. It isn't very good for upscaling and really needs dedicated resource. It also doesn't upscale content.

Usability
Class Technologies, Inc
I give this rating since I find it productive since I am using it. It gives a all new experience for training and development of professionals. Many features available which can help us analyze the learner performance. It has a bit learning curve for a new bee. however it is overall good for short to medium size organization to enhance their team learning skills.

Class for Zoom was a very clear improvement over just plain Zoom. The additional features make for a much richer experience overall. One main reason Class for Zoom stood out over other similar products is how seamlessly everything was integrated together. This is very important as the more clunky it feels the less engaging the meeting will feel and Class for Zoom did a great job at not feeling clunky.
