    Zoom
    At our company, we launch a new property project and receive many customer inquiries in a single day. Zoom contact center helped our team manage all calls and follow-ups properly without missing leads. It is very useful for handling customer communication. During peak hours, some agents face call delays, making it a bit difficult to track reports quickly.

    In most cases, and I mean almost all, Zoom is vastly superior to Teams in terms of functionality and ease of use. Case in point: I recently tried to join a Teams meeting in the web browser, and it took me multiple attempts to access it. This NEVER happens with a Zoom link.

    Pros
    Zoom
    • AI-powered self-service - customers can interact with our virtual agents and get answers to common inquiries, which ensures fast resolutions.
    • Better omnichannel support ensures our agents have an easy time managing customer interactions across chat, voice, and SMS.
    • With Zoom Contact Center in place, we have realized increased agent productivity thanks to its AI features and its ability to integrate with our CRM tool.
    • The advanced routing and insights ensure that customer issues head to the right customer agent depending on skills.

    • Audio quality of phone calls is spot on. Calls are clear and crisp.
    • Video quality of video meetings are clear and there aren't any pixelization artifacts that some systems can have.
    • Having AI summaries have been life changing for us. We no longer have to concentrate on note taking, like we did in the past. The summaries are accurate and enable us to put our efforts in the meeting or conversation. Plus, we can save them into our practice management system as required.

    Cons
    Zoom
    • The integration with Zoom Phone is still ongoing, so it initially required some tricky configuration and additional phone numbers, but that's no longer a requirement now.
    • I would love a way to use physical handsets with the Contact Centre. Currently, it's all softphone integration on a PC or Mac. But it's a great experience and very similar to using Zoom Meetings, so there's minimal training for staff needed.
    • The Admin Settings on the backend can be tricky to navigate. Still, you have much more customization and constant feature upgrades than I've ever seen with any other Contact Centre service.

    • Love notes - allow insertion of table or grid
    • Allow admin to turn off DND
    • Allow a way to group individual people chats - not channels just individual peeps into groups for ease of finding - like how you can group shared calendars into sections in Outlook

    We are very likely to renew Zoom Contact Center because it has been a stable and reliable solution for our organization. It fits well within the broader Zoom ecosystem that we already use, including Zoom Meetings, Zoom Phone, and Zoom Chat, which creates a more seamless experience for users and reduces complexity.
    The product quality has been strong overall, and we have also had positive experiences with Zoom’s customer service. While there are still areas where reporting and certain features could improve, the platform has delivered enough value in usability, stability, and integration to make renewal likely.

    We're sticking with Zoom for the foreseeable future--given its compelling feature set, ease of use, and advanced technology, there's just no other competition to be excited about. Plus it's a Gartner-recognized industry leader, so it's a rather easy choice.

    Usability
    Zoom
    Usability is one of Zoom Contact Center's strongest selling points. It feels like a natural extension of the Zoom platform rather than a bolted-on contact center tool, which made adoption across our team noticeably smoother than previous system rollouts. Zoom Contact Center is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate for both agents and administrators. For organizations already using Zoom, the learning curve is minimal.

    Zoom has among the best performance of any video conference platform, as I've mentioned several times. Besides that, their Chat platform works great, and their back end always runs smooth. It's unfortunate that reporting can now only be done by one month at a time, but nonetheless, it only takes a second to run any kind of Zoom report, whether it's an attendee report, Poll results, a user report, a list of meetings from the past month, etc.

    Support Rating
    Zoom
    We have had a positive experience with Zoom Contact Center support overall. Support has generally been responsive and helpful, and our interactions have given us confidence in the product and platform.
    In addition to the support experience itself, the product has been stable and reliable in day-to-day use, which helps reduce the need for frequent support involvement. When support has been needed, the experience has been solid enough to reinforce our overall positive view of the platform.
    For those reasons, we would rate the overall support highly, while still recognizing there is always room for improvement.

    Because I got a response right away, and was assigned one specific individual to work with me from the beginning to the resolution. I had an actual email address and direct contact with this person without having to start over and over every time I contacted Zoom - this singular individual remained attentive and was well informed on the subject matter and quite able to resolve my needs.

    Zoom
    I implemented Zoom Contact Center myself, and overall the process was straightforward. The platform was relatively easy to configure, and it did not require an unusually large amount of internal support or complexity to get up and running.
    One of the advantages during implementation was how well it fit within the broader Zoom environment, which helped reduce friction and made the setup feel more familiar. In our experience, the implementation process was manageable and efficient overall.
    There is always some room for improvement, but the implementation was smooth enough that I would rate the experience highly.

    If you receive any pushback from higher ups, point to any of the various positive reviews like this one. Or show Zoom's excellent Gartner report, or articles describing Zoom's partnership with Sequoia capital. It's not difficult to show how Zoom is a trustworthy industry leader with best-in-class technology.

    This tool has enabled us to identify each user's needs across our various communication channels. It has also facilitated a direct point of contact with Zoom’s technical support team, allowing us to document and escalate any situation requiring specialized assistance, which is the primary reason we chose Zoom. I would recommend it to any colleague or company, as it offers a wide variety of tools, and—now, with the integration of AI—the level of service has improved significantly.

    Zoom Workplace is typically on the more expensive end against other options, but it's the industry leader for a reason. It has the most brand credibility by far, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. There are limitations when it comes to technical performance, customization and video/audio quality. I prefer Slack myself for communication apps, but Zoom Workplace is a good alternative.

    The billing and price model is really fair for so many functions that they offer, our remote work requires each of the features that Zoom offers, so accepting payment for a tool like this is the least we can do.

    Because the Basic licenses are completely free, and because it's very easy to configure and install Zoom, and because anyone can join Zoom from a link without needing an account, scaling is a Breeze. There are absolutely no roadblocks. My company keeps adding more Zoom Pro license every week since it's so in demand. We were able to convert users from several different platforms onto Zoom with no trouble at all.

    Zoom
    • Intuitive, Easier and almost effortless to maintain.
    • Lesser Operational Expenses that the alternative we also have
    • We wish it has a better integration with Zoom Phone, in terms of channels integration (Voice and Chat) to quick identify callers.
    • It is missing "modular" programming to "reuse" Existing Flows and call them from other flows then return to the main flow.
    • It is missing the capability to compartmentalizing different teams/groups related to reporting, admin, and global parameters.

    • We have not lost much productivity in our teamwork during the pandemic because of the ability to have Zoom video calls and keep everyone in touch. This is definitely a positive.
    • We are able to have more people participate in coaching sessions (described earlier) because we don't have room space limitations. This is a big positive.
    • Being able to start a meeting instantly is great when we are doing support and/or training with a client over the phone and need to be able to share a visible
