Highlights |
Research Team Insight Published Zoom and GlobalMeet Collaboration are two popular web and video conferencing products. As with Skype in years previous, “Zoom” has become almost ubiquitous with online meetings and web conferencing. While most popular for its web conferencing product, Zoom is is a Unified-Communications-as-a-Service platform that supports webinars and VoIP as well. GlobalMeet Collaboration is also the online meetings product for PGi’s suite of online communications software with similar offerings to Zoom. On TrustRadius, Zoom’s user base is spread nearly evenly across small businesses, mid-sized companies, and enterprises with 31% and 36% being from enterprise or mid-sized companies respectively. GlobalMeet Collaboration is most popular with enterprises, but is most commonly represented by professionals in Hospital & Health Care. GlobalMeet Collaboration is popular in this industry given its reputation for being a secure choice. FeaturesZoom is a video communications platform specializing in web conferencing, webinars, and cloud-based telephony. Zoom also specializes in conference room management and equipment. It is a great choice for organizations of all sizes looking for flexibility in how they conduct online meetings, webinars, and conference calls. Zoom is also a great fit for organizations looking to consolidate their web conferencing tool with their VoIP and/or team chat software. As previously mentioned, GlobalMeet Collaboration’s biggest selling point is its security features. The vendor promises to be secure and reliable and stay on top of ever-evolving data security policies and regulations. Due to issues like “Zoom-bombing”, security is a bigger-than-ever topic in online meetings software. Outside of online events security, GlobalMeet Collaboration also receives kudos for having an intuitive and easy-to-use interface and in-touch customer support team. LimitationsZoom’s user interface is simplistic, but users report that the location of buttons and commands are not intuitive and can make hosting meetings awkward. Users also report having several issues related to starting up Zoom from browsers, integrated apps, or on mobile versions of its client. There may also be similar tools more suited to small businesses, which is not considered a priority with Zoom’s one-size-fits-all model. Drawbacks to GlobalMeet Collaboration for some reviewers include lack of advanced add-on features (in comparison to competitors), host controls not being robust enough, and troubleshooting issues. GlobalMeet seems to work best when all participants are participating virtually, rather than there being a mix of in-person and virtual guests. PricingAccording to TrustRadius research, 79% of Zoom users believe it delivers good value for its price. Helping cement its claim on the web and video conferencing space, Zoom is available completely for free for up to 100 participants in a 40-minute meeting. Zoom’s paid plans are better options for teams that will need a higher participant maximum and unlimited meeting minutes. Advanced features also include the ability to record and store completed minutes and interface customization for online events. GlobalMeet Collaboration tracks at being less expensive than Zoom. It also has a free plan, with its paid plans starting at $12 per month per user with an annual commitment. It features an enterprise plan whose pricing its contingent on company size and host requirements and includes global dial-out and toll-free number options which are a plus for meetings with a lot of external participants. |
