Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it to talk to my employees as we frequently have to distance ourselves to prevent transmission. I'm grateful for the whiteboard and screen-sharing features. The HD video quality is great. The fact that attendees invited to a conference do not have to sign in is fantastic. It has several features and is quite user-friendly.

Pros

  • User Friendly.
  • File-sharing.
  • Multi-channel interaction.
  • Screen sharing and recording.

Cons

  • It's okay to use it professionally. Also, I would like to use Ez with my family members or for some personal work, but it is not that cheap to get.
  • Designs can be a little better.
  • Call-Sharing should have been easier.

Return on Investment

  • I have successfully used their starter plan, i would say it was really worth it.
  • I wouldn't recommend EZTalks professional plan for personal use as it can be a little expensive because their another alternative you can easily get.
  • My overall business objectives were pretty much covered for what plan I chose.
