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.

Tickets are set to low priority by default. Answers can take weeks and usually are predefined messages that don't answer questions, simply point to articles in their website. Escalation seems to be non-existent. And trying to involved our sales manager was unfruitful.

In my experience, Zoom support is completely inept and unable to provide any real help. Zoom also constantly blocks user invite emails.

From learning [an] MBA course in [the] pandemic situation to teaching new [processes] to other colleagues, Zoom made my routine schedule more balanced. As [an introverted] person, this platform boosted my confidence and now I am more [extroverted from] gaining experience with meeting others. I am using this for training colleagues across India without traveling which reduced cost to [the] company.

If there were any Zoom issues they were fixed with an update in a timely manner and I feel that Zoom support has been attentive to the issues like Zoom bombing or other authentication where needed. I would say that I did not call Zoom support that often but was able to find intuitive answers at the moment.

Zoom has a highly responsive support team, and their help topics section includes a number of highly detailed resources on how to get the most out of the Zoom platform. In the rare instance, we have had a problem with Zoom we have been able to resolve it quickly with either the support of Zoom or by using their prefabricated materials in the help section.

It offers all the features that users need from this platform. I have been using its free trial which comes up with connecting a lot of people virtually through audio call, video call also offers screen sharing and screen recording different features for different needs. I highly recommend everyone to use this platform to enhance their business and personal growth, save time and expenditure and communicate efficiently.

I have had little to no issues with Zoom. Anytime there is a hang-up, I find that it's a quick update and I am back to business as usual. I was able to self-teach the tool before using it (I am formally trained now).

I use this rating because the Zoom product made its greatest impact when it was needed the most. Businesses relied on the product when they started worrying about the impact of covid 19, and trying to protect their employees. Likewise, the school system also benefitted greatly from the zoom product. Children were now able to have classes online during the most stressful times of their childhoods.

It has satisfied in both individual-level and organization. Zoom has always helped my joining meetings with just a calendar reminder, which ahs never let me join late. It has provided multiple options like screen sharing, screen recording which helps in attending missed seminars, document sharing, background filters, polling, voting, integration of multiple other apps.

The app can serve easily to the means of business organizations or educational institutions which involves a predominantly huge number of attendees or participants and information sharing with minimum hassle. There have been very [few] things to complain [about] and the support has been brilliant.

Because I love it more than any other software which makes me more comfortable. We can use it any time anywhere. Most of the time we use it for solving and managing an issue. At this time we are very much happy with this software to use. Overall this app is more comfortable than others.

I had my personal experience with the Zoom billing and support team. From reading in forums, my experience is like that of many others (unresolved issues with billing and accounts). While the contact at Zoom was nice and forthcoming, the initial response took an unbelievable amount of time (7 weeks). Also, the offered solution was embarrassingly inadequate in a professional setting (closing an account to resolve a login problem). I believe the company systematically neglects user support or does not invest a proportional amount of revenue in these departments. From the way how my several tickets have been "resolved" by the support, this is easily the worst experience with a tech company ever.
