Likelihood to Recommend If you want to quickly and easily sell tickets to an event without a lot of hassle or absurd fees, this is a great platform. I'm not sure this would work well for complex, multi-tiered ticket sales for events that have thousands of tickets.
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 Affordable. Allows multiple discount codes and multiple price levels. Excellent customer service. WordPress plug-in that worked flawlessly. 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 Online knowledge base could be expanded. I had questions that were not included in the FAQs - but were quickly answered via chat. 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 Likelihood to Renew We will be renewing with Zoom as long as it continues to meet our needs for client and lead outreach needs in a robust manner. With little error and an easy to use interface, Zoom has met our needs and exceeded our expectations. The cost is right and with a short learning curve, Zoom has been an easy decision to make and maintain.

Read full review Support Rating Customer support representatives were amazingly responsive to questions. We received replies even outside of their stated available hours. They always understood the question/issue immediately and were very thorough and specific in their explanations and step-by-step instructions. Ticket Tailor customer support is among the best I have seen in any industry. Quick, smart, and always helpful.
Read full review Zoom Video Webinar provides users with updates on their newest functions as part of an email subscribed list. They provide you with up-to-date information on all their latest changes and functions for ease [in] transition. Zoom Video Webinar can be contacted easily for any questions or concerns you may have with the platform and the response is timely.
Read full review Implementation Rating Implementation was very feasible during our initial usage of the Zoom after COVID-19.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Ticket Tailor is much more flexible at a much lower price point than
Eventbrite . It was, by far, the most practical and affordable solution. The same functionality with
Eventbrite would have required the more expensive "professional" price level which was prohibitively expensive for our small company, especially in its early stages.
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 A box office that is easy to use. The ability to cover box office costs by setting a service charge. Seamless integration with our website. 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.
