Zoom - A great way to include all in meetings.
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
It is being used throughout the entire organization for meetings. It has been used for users who cannot attend a large meeting or conference, but also for one-on-one meetings when two people cannot be at the same campus. This helps to cut down on travel times for many employees, as it's not always possible to be a several campuses to attend meetings in one day.
- It's user-friendly, easy and intuitive to use if you're already pretty tech-familiar.
- It comes up as it's own window, so you can be attending the meeting and at the same time bring up any documents you'd like to look at during the meeting, all on your computer.
- It also has a chat feature, so if, for instance, the sound isn't working on someone's end, you can still communicate that to the other people in the meeting.
- I think an alert somewhere that tells you if your speakers are not turned on would be helpful. You may have the sound on in your Zoom meeting, but if you're speakers are not on you may not realize why the sound isn't working.

Come on and ZOOM!
All the employees within our company are remote; Zoom allows us to come to a common meeting space for updates, sharing ideas, new memos that’s need to be discussed and more. The other branches within our company and the umbrella company we work for, uses Zoom as a way for communication within the company that is spread over many states.
- Creates communication opportunities even across different time zones.
- Their customer service, if issues do arise, is quick, professional, and on point.
- Great recording options, to refer to later when you need to compare meeting notes.
- Connection process isn’t always easy to familiarize yourself with for every user.
- Large users in a video meeting can sometimes create laggy video quality
- A Bluetooth connect ability option would be great because occasionally, wired connects causes issues.

Great tool for organizations with large meetings!
In my current organization, we use Zoom frequently and it's used across the whole organization. We have quite a few remote employees, so we use Zoom for internal meetings. We also use Zoom for engineering demos, sometimes for interviews, and for calls with vendors. Our rooms are set up to create Zoom meetings, so we use Zoom for screensharing even when all employees are in office.
- I've always been happy with the quality of the video and audio. It's superior to Google Hangouts, which often crashes or has video issues.
- It's much easier than other products to have a large number of participants in one room. Other products have stricter guidelines on the number of people connecting to one call.
- It was easy to integrate Zoom into our meetings via Google calendar.
- I feel as though the UX could be more intuitive once you're in a meeting switching between full screen, pinning videos to the meeting, etc. I sometimes fumble around and can't remember where to go to get back to the view I want.
- It would be nice to have some tools to edit the video recordings!

Meeting At Your Convenience!
This software is a great and popular choice for web Conferencing. It comes with a user-friendly interface that helps in collaboration and maintaining an effective business relationship.
- It helps in conducting live video chats and access to meeting analytics. We can easily share the screen during a call.
- The recording feature is helpful in saving. It gives great access to in-depth support like live help, online chat, phone support, FAQs.
- It comes for free and we can add 100 participants in a video call at once which is one great feature.
- Sometimes managing sub-accounts becomes a bit difficult.
- The dashboard could be made better for PCs.
- The host box is seen on the upper right side which can move or minimize in meeting mode.
- Overlay controls are unlikable, as they get in the way of recording.

Best of the best cloud-based video calling software
Zoom is very unique, with all the intuitive features present, even in the free edition. The platform is very straightforward and simple to understand for company meetings and video conferencing.
Important feature updates are easily available on Zoom.
Zoom is very useful, and the most widely software used until now for webinars and conferencing.
- Zoom is an online based best video conferencing software capable of combining meetings and sharing content.
- The best part about this software is that it is supported by android, ios, Mac, and Windows as well.
- Zoom offers great free edition features for its users.
- To add videoconferencing to your company, it also offers a feature called Zoom Rooms.
- I wish there could be a warning feature when accidentally two Zoom meetings are scheduled.
- It is not totally free, as you have to pay after 40min of use.
- Sometimes call or meeting recordings don't show up or download.
- A pop up feature or notification should also be there if we miss any chat.

Unified Collaboration That Just Works
Zoom was deployed at Moffitt to address communication and collaboration needs for the organization. Zoom features include instant messaging, meetings and collaboration, Zoom Rooms, and webinars. There are many use cases that we have applied across the organization and continue to find additional areas that we can improve workflow and communication in the environment.
- Zoom is simple to use and deploy. Users quickly adapted to the zoom client and immediately said the solution improved their day to day activities.
- Zoom Rooms have improved our ability to share content and collaborate with teams across conference spaces throughout the organization.
- Webinars have improved our ability to provide training and recordings to end-users and teams.
- Auditing of the admin roles. Logs for functions the admin performs such as IM performing searches for IM chats.
- Ability to perform IM chat audits and see the images in of screen captures in the chat audit (i.e. images or files).

My Zoom Review as recruiting coordinator
Zoom is being used daily for IM, HR interviews, Company-wide remote meetings, and client meetings. We are looking into adding a small zoom room and utilizing the webinar feature more frequently. In addition, Administration uses the chat function to see who is available and if anyone is in meetings, presenting, or out of office when directing phone calls.
- The quality of Zoom is superior to other options. There's less static and dropped meetings.
- There are more options on Zoom then other companies on the meeting feature.
- User-friendly! Great ease of use.
- View of availability in chat mode: we would like availability to be more prominent.
- The notification is not as noticeable: I miss incoming messages frequently.
- The ability to split meeting invites: to send different messages to different groups of team members within the same invite.

Zoom --A very versatile web conferencing software
The zoom software is packed with amazing features, controls, and abilities. It is very useful in personal computers, conference rooms, and daily meetings. The ease of use and multi-platform removes all compatibility worries. Recording of meetings is very simple, and now it evens records audio files.
- Zoom offers acceptable easy video conferencing features for business or family meetings with the webinar add-on. The Zoom interface is nice to go directly to the website.
- Another amazing feature is that I can link it to my google and yahoo account as well.
- As compared to other tools, it also includes up to 100 participants in video conferencing.
- When starting, the system is currently quite slow, which causes files to take a long time to be transferred.
- To make video call or video conferencing it always requires a good internet connection.
- Another big drawback I will mention is that it only accepts PayPal electronic wallet, which I'm not using currently.
October 18, 2019
Zoom is the best, forget all the rest.
It's used for video conferencing across the entire organization. It addresses conference needs.
- Training Videos across multiple sites.
- Leadership Meetings across multiple sites.
- Video Interviews.
- Offsite events.
- Helps with Work From Home Users.
- The mobile app needs work.
- More options are needed on the Mobile App, like resizing shared screens.
- The raise hand feature should highlight the person who's pressed the button.

Zoom Review
Zoom is being used for a video conferencing platform across sales and pre-sales. We demo it to customers as well, but it is mostly used to collaborate over video calls and some chat as we use other platforms as well to collaborate with one another.
Not all of the organization is familiar with Zoom, but mostly sales and pre-sales.
Not all of the organization is familiar with Zoom, but mostly sales and pre-sales.
- Video experience.
- Joining experience.
- It's easy to learn how to use.
- Its consistency of partnerships, because it is very confusing to know what is best to use with what.
- Better integration with calendars outside of the add on. If someone schedules a Zoom meeting it does not show up on your app. Only your other meetings do.

Almost A Second Office For Me!
It is the most stable platform which is widely accepted and very easy to use and integrate with. These services are designed to promote collaboration and working and business relationships by connecting with users via video and voice features.
- With the simple Zoom add-on we can download into our personal Outlook to make scheduling meetings easy.
- Every employee has their own account and unique login ids . Their customization options are great to use. It easily gets integrated with Google Calendar.
- It allows for scheduling the meetings in advance orto send an invitation from the software itself.
- The least likable thing about this software is their overlay controls. They can get in the way of recording.
- Their support could have been a little better. The action bar while sharing a screen is a bit cluttered.
- The text chat feature should be improved. Text messages are not saved if you end the call .
- It required more significant integration with G Suite and Office 365.

Zoom Review for V
We use Zoom for all of our internal and external meetings that we generate. We also use it in all of our tech enabled conference rooms. We still have a small deployment of Zoom Rooms to finish. We had 2 audio conference solutions and 2 video conference solutions that we have consolidated into 1 solution. The user adoption has been incredible and it continues to grow week over week.
- It is built around ease of use for end users.
- It is very easy to manage.
- New features have been coming out fairly regularly.
- Hardware vendor acceptance - There are lots of choices but we attempted to reuse some hardware that was not supported.
- Auto removal of accounts for users that have left the company.
- Tier 1 chat support does not seem to have enough ability to accomplish request.

Zooming into the future.
We are in the test phase of using Zoom. Currently, we have an international group using Zoom and they love it. They have had issues in the past with getting everyone together on a voice call that was stable. They were able to set up Zoom in minutes and everyone was able to join with audio and video in no time. That group actually decided to purchase Zoom and will be using it going forward. We as an entire company are still figuring out if we will go full-on with Zoom or not. But coming to Zoom's conference has helped us clarify a bunch of hurdles we had issues with and to better understand the way each Zoom product works.
- Ease of use. The ability to get into a meeting within seconds.
- Small client that installs fast. It doesn't take up much room and I don't have to configure numerous settings after install.
- Ability for the system to recognize my connection and adjust to my environment.
- Being able to use my existing phone system to place calls from the Zoom client.
- A con was having the camera active on all calls, but that has been fixed now.

Zoom Review
It's generally used by the whole company for remote-friendliness. We've moved a lot of our in-person meetings to Zoom-first meetings to aid with the transition from an in-person company to one that's remote-friendly.
- Our all-hands meetings are now fully remote and Zoom. It makes sharing what's going on very easy and recordable for reference later.
- Pair programming is great through Zoom. Being able to share or cede control of your screen to someone is a great hands-on way of learning.
- This OSX 10.14 webcam bug is brutal, but I know it's not necessarily your fault.
- Presentation mode with multiple presenters is kind of tough because someone has to stop sharing before the others can share.
October 18, 2019
A reliable and affordable online meeting solution
We are using Zoom to conduct meetings and training sessions in multiple locations, and with multiple users among staff, board members, and members.
- Simple and convenient management interface.
- Immediate link for device and PC users.
- Integration with the calendar.
- Automatic caller-ID for audio users.
- Automatic user credentials without registration.
- More audio conference features for the host.

Zoom Rooms and Zoom Phone are no brainers!
My company is using Zoom remote work meetings. We use it for Zoom rooms and 1:1 meetings as well. We have an iPad connected to monitors in each meeting room and each of them hosts their own Zoom room. Also, we're able to meet, using Zoom, on our work laptops, which makes things super easy when working remotely. I am also familiar with Zoom from my last job, as well. Zoom was just getting established at the time and it was a huge improvement compared to Google Hangouts.
- The connection is always clear.
- The audio is always clear.
- The connection is always secure.
- Zoom works with any OS.
- Zoom is easy to download.
- The setup process could be a bit easier. Since it works on just about any OS, it can be hard to understand the setup process.
- It would be great if Zoom could connect to external devices via Bluetooth or airplay. We currently use it via iPads connected to monitors and if they are a disconnect, the entire setup process has to be redone.
- The process of connecting to a meeting could be better. Clicking on the link, being taken to a site, then being redirected to the app can be a bit inconvenient and take too much time.
Across the whole organization for larger meetings. We have a need for connecting when in different locations as well as currently our space does not have large enough conference rooms for our larger meetings so we tend to use Zoom to address that issue. We also use it as a means of giving presentations.
- Accommodates many attendees.
- It can be used anywhere.
- It has some easy usability.
- Poor video quality (compared to competitors on the same machines on the same networks with the same number of attendees).
- Complicated, with many steps for simple use.
- Why have a passcode to exit?

Zoom is fantastic

- Quality
- Ease of use
- Some of the UI seems dated.

October 18, 2019

- Ease of use
- Zoom for Microsoft
- Zoom Phone
- Zoom presence synchronization in Outlook
- Provisioning using Azure AD group
- Simplify the upgrade on the desktop client.
October 18, 2019
Perfect solution
We use zoom for all of our videos and chat communications. We have several Zoom meeting rooms and a few mobile setups that help us with our daily work. The mobile units allow our trainers to be mobile and take them on the road to conferences and events. The meeting rooms are always available and almost always in use since they are so good. We have remote employees that use zoom to train and communicate with team members, other teams, or management. It allows our company to be more connected than ever and to get more work done.
- Easy
- Fast
- Reliable
- I need better equipment as my room is not the best acoustically.
- Missing more robust telephony features, but I can't wait!
October 18, 2019
ZOOM ZOOM easy meeting room
We use it to hold our demos as well as a conference call with prospective customers. It addresses the problem of having to use on-premise speakers and microphones for calls. I really like the ease of use and customization it provides to its customers. I would definitely recommend this product for a business of any size.
- Conference call: Easy to add people and forward the invite
- Screen Share Demo
- Integrate with 3rd party applications: Outlook, Slack
- Formatting the Outlook meeting invite is fewer words.
- Make it easier for employees to add different employees Zoom room to an email.
October 18, 2019
Zoom over WebEx
Zoom is being used for collaboration and video calls across the organization. Zoom has a more intuitive UI and set up as opposed to WebEx.
- Easy user interface
- Great customer support
- Market share
- Some functionality needs further testing before launch.
October 18, 2019
One stop solution for Web Meetings!
Zoom is an essential part of our teamwork. It is being extensively used in our department for collaboration between individual teams. It's basically used for updating timelines and project deliverables. The ability to organize a meeting with multiple teammates seamlessly makes us use this tool quite often.
- Scheduling a meeting quickly.
- Ability to use the whiteboard tool to make others understand.
- Quality of conversation.
- More locations should be supported for calling economically.
- It should work on PC without downloading any special software.
October 18, 2019
It just works every time and all the time!
Have used it in a professional enviornment as a user and as a commercial partner.
- Easy to use
- Reliable with performance
- Good sound quality
- Better polling
- Better in-meeting "raise your hand" controls
