    Zoom met most of our extensive requirements. But it also worked closely with us to fill gaps where it didn't meet the requirements or only partially met them. We selected Zoom because of its ability to develop products quickly.

    Intregration with other Zoom products ia a real plus.
    The convenience to be able to install on so many deivces also increaed the conveneince.
    Most other softweare PBX were just automating the call experiece, but Zoom makes the phone client to another level.

    Zoom Workplace does well with both phone communications, meeting communications, and conference room capabilities. It's chat capabilities are inferior to Microsoft Teams as Teams has a higher integration with other utilized tools.

In a nutshell, Zoom Workplace makes teamwork and productivity easy.

    Cons
    Zoom
    • The first time I ported a number and set up a outlying office, I had to keep going back in and correcting things. I feel like there could be more straightforward instructions on this, instead of having to go to multiple sections just to accomplish everything.

    Almost perfect. Transformed from just being on my mobile phone. The phone has moved from a ituility to a value driving service in the business. Nobody yet has an AI to help manage the system. Come on Zoom, seems an obvious AI use case.

    Usability
    Zoom
    Zoom Phone has a very sleek design which makes it very easy to operate and use both in the setting up of and interacting in a meeting space. That being said, certain features can seem a bit crowded while trying to screen share or display video which somewhat defeats the purpose of the application as compared to a standard conference call.

    I haven't had any sort of issues with Zoom as of yet to have to call Support. That right there makes me think it's a good product. Simple and easy to use. Nothing confusing or glitchy that would make me have to get in touch with them. Straightforward so I'm not trying to figure out a specific workflow.

    • We're better able to work together as a team answering phones multiple people can be logged in to answer at the same time.
    • The voicemail transcription feature helps with sharing messages to different departments.
    • Overall, we're able to answer more calls and have fewer callers being sent to voicemail.
