Reviews
(376-400 of 735)The best of the best - Zoom!
- The automatic quality adjustment algorithm is brilliant. It allows seamless calls and video without any drop in the actual quality of communication.
- The ability to join a meeting from a browser allows clients to join calls when they are not allowed to install software on their computer.
- Recordings of meetings can be stored in the cloud and reference kept of all calls for future use.
- It is sometimes difficult to get to the button to leave a meeting.
- Some call-drops have been experienced, but not common at all.
- I have to dig really deep to find problems with Zoom, and I cannot think of any more.
- Where clients do not have access to download physical software but are able to access the Zoom client in their browser.
- Where personal and business clients enter the same calls.
- Where flexibility is needed with regards to having from 1 to 1000 meeting/conference participants.
- None!
Zoom is great because it is simple!
- Simple to use
- Call quality
- Rapid log on
- Contact center solution is less robust (initially)
- Setting up a call for real-time can take a bit of work if not pre-scheduled/set up
Zoom is great!
- Easy connection.
- Mobile version.
- Clear sound and video.
- The mobile interface could be easier and more intuitive.
The best all-in one web conferencing solution
- Ease of use - You can quickly start a new meeting and invite participants via email or with a URL link. You can also easily share your screen, annotate, record, create breakout rooms and more. The app and interface are laid out perfectly and is simple to use, can be mastered very quickly.
- Integrations - Zoom integrates super easily with a number of different tools. The ability to schedule calls/meetings right from the inbox saves a ton of time from having to manage and schedule with multiple logins or send an updated email invite with meeting information pre-call. Help to eliminate errors and coordinate more easily.
- The overall suite of features and functionality is really great. Audio, video, chat, screen sharing, recording and more. There isn't really anything that is missing from Zoom and has all you could want in a collaboration and conferencing tool.
- The ability to see chat conversations when in presentation mode/fullscreen.
- Sometimes it won't recognize what audio options I have set up or will switch to one that is not the default. Might just be something with my computer setup but recognizing the in-use or default audio options is occasionally confusing but easy to fix.
- When your internet connection is unstable you will receive a message that this is the case. There could maybe be a message that provides suggestions to help this such as turning off the video component or other app cues/ suggestions so doesn't continue to delay.
Zoom is a must have for businesses with multinational customer presence
- Screensharing
- Video-sharing
- Computer to cell-phone and vice-a-versa calls
- Low bandwidth consumption
- Ability to store recordings on the cloud
- Android App UI is confusing.
- It opens multiple windows and there are several unwanted options.
- Google Calendar integration is from Zoom to Google, which is tricky as contact sync with Zoom is not that good.
Zoom: The Easiest Tool for Web Conferencing
- Provides every team member with a Personal ID and link for "instant meetings". This is awesome to use with clients where there's a need to connect quickly, and eliminates the problem caused by so many conference lines/services: that you're not sure if anyone else is already using it.
- Zoom integrates beautifully with Calendly to assist with seamless scheduling of meetings.
- Zoom is incredibly intuitive to use, even for our clients who aren't the most web-savvy.
- Zoom's recording functionality is intuitive and seamless.
- Occasionally, Zoom can cause your computer to freeze as you're trying to open it and log into a meeting. This seems to be a result of not having downloaded the latest update.
Zoom - The name says it all
- Good video conferencing quality and is easy to deploy
- Lightweight system needs versus skpye lync communicator mean a responsive user interface
- Can handle large groups and has telcon features not found in some basic business messaging apps
- Make a longer screen share time for personal
- improve settings to control auto video chat
- UI can be a bit difficult to use at times.

Zoom Review
- Scheduling.
- Screen sharing.
- Connectivity.
- None that I can think of.
Zoom is a great product for small, remote teams, but be weary of their security practices
- Reliability -- the video and audio quality is good and steady.
- Recordings -- Zoom allows meetings to be recorded in the cloud and downloaded at a later date.
- Meeting options -- Zoom allows you to adjust meeting settings to meet your needs, such as having a waiting room, automatic muting, and more.
- Expensive at scale -- Zoom requires each user have a separate license, instead of allowing an IT team to centrally manage and arrange meetings.
- No automatic meeting transcriptions on the Business Pro plan.
- Sloppy code -- Zoom has had a couple of privacy snafus due to the poor code quality of their software. This leads to a lack of trust between Zoom and their customers.
Zoom is THE room.
- Screen share is great
- Love the ability to add different backgrounds.
- More reliable than other apps I've used. Including the big guys.
- Making it easier to find the join audio and screen share buttons. People not used to the tool almost always seem to have trouble finding those buttons.
Zoom helps us ZOOM through training!
- It is user-friendly; easy to use.
- It's intuitive; easy to navigate.
- Using Zoom increases productivity; saves time.
- I can't say that there is anything that is hard to use. The only issue I've run into is having the connection drop and having to get reconnected. I don't know if that happens as a result of an issue with Zoom or whether the issue is our internet connection.
Great For Meetings and Trainings with Small Groups
- One on One conferencing is quick and easy.
- Even free options offer robust tools and options.
- Screen share and user controls make collaboration simple.
- Connecting peripherals is a little cumbersome.
- The interface isn't beautiful. Minor quibble though, everything is functional.
Zoom, zoom, zoom for increase in productivity.
- Simple and intuitive home screen.
- Easy scheduling for a recurring meeting.
- Integration with email clients to send meeting invites.
- Ability to use a more intuitive meeting ID will help improve meeting identification.
- Finding a meeting recording sometimes can be challenging.
- Limited toll-free dial-in number.
Easiest to use web conferencing solution
- Easy to onboard new users.
- Easy to join from pretty much any device.
- Good call quality.
- Zoom has been great, and I don't really know anything that they could do better.
Zoom gives the best quality in video meetings!
- Web conference.
- Video call meetings.
- Group chat between peers.
- Connection stabilization when doing video calls.
- It needs a message inbox, as that does not exist.
- It has a very dim interface. It needs more colors.
Zoom - a quick way to get teams collaborating.
- The annotation feature allow many options from linework, text to highlighting where user cursors are.
- Screen sharing is simple and has options to share specific applications.
- The video conference capability is smooth and i like how it highlights the current speaker.
- Tracking meeting attendance after a meeting is done is hard to locate.
- Sharing just a link to the meeting copies a lot of extra info not needed.
- Ability to see who a phone caller is only shows a phone number and doesn't relate to a screen attendee.
- Zoom is a brilliantly streamlined, lightweight but powerful videoconferencing solution that makes it easy for users to connect and to interact with one another in all the ways necessary for an online classroom.
- It also makes it easy for lots of users to connect from virtually any platform.
- In language teaching and learning, authentic face-to-face language interaction is crucial, and this software has allowed for an almost one-to-one approximation of face-to-face language teaching.
- So far, there's very very little that Zoom could improve.
- Scheduling can be a little bit tricky, as Zoom doesn't always integrate flawlessly with Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar.
Zoom is a great option for all levels of internal and external meetings
- Personal meetings.
- Company meetings.
- Recordings.
- I haven't really encountered any issues with this software.
Best webconferencing tool I've ever used!
- Easy to use: I have the software, but you can join a meeting from a browser as well.
- Virtual background: It's super fun to play with green screen backgrounds. No fancy software is needed, and it actually works better than most green screen software I've tried!
- The video quality is top-notch!
- I honestly can't think of anything that Zoom could do to improve. All of the limitations with the free version go away with the paid version, which is totally fair. I am very impressed with the product, and haven't used a better web conferencing tool.
A Tool for Webinars
- Webinars are very easy and quick to use.
- You can mute all users.
- You can provide features like 'raise hand' and 'Q&A.'
- Screensharing can be further improved.
Simple and high-quality videoconferencing
- Zoom is very intuitive for first-time users to join a meeting.
- The scheduling extension in Outlook makes planning future calls simple and easy.
- Sharing your screen is both high quality and easy to do.
- Zoom has some features like the whiteboard that are difficult to stumble across, and many users are unaware of them.
- The cloud recordings are of high quality, but there is no warning when you start recording that it will only be available for 30 days.
- It would be nice to record tracks of individual video and audio for post-production later.
- Amazing Mobile Application: Zoom's mobile application is the best so far that I have used for connecting in conferences or one-to-one calls. No voice drops, and a smooth transition from mobile data to wifi connections. Never will you feel that voice quality is bad. Even if there is a serious disruption in the Internet, still the tool manages and quickly fast forwards the whole conversation so that you do not miss on any of the topics.
- The screen can be viewed and controlled from the Mobile device itself: This feature is one of a kind, and is nearly impossible to find in any of the other conference platforms. No matter where you connect the call from, the screen presentation works across all the platforms without any lag.
- It does not require sign-in to connect: You can simply dial into the meetings without actually signing in anywhere. Simply click on the link and you are in the meeting. This is also a one of a kind feature that simply pulls your credentials from the device you are connecting from. It is super easy, and works perfectly every-time without fail.
- There are no cons that I have come across for this platform. However, a very small change that I would recommend is to keep some distance in Mute and Video on/off buttons, because someone can accidentally click the buttons, and then it is a very difficult situation to manage. Everything else is up to the mark in this platform.
Zoom outweighs the competition
- Recordings - These are vital for us for training. We cover a lot when we train a client on a new project, and because of the recorded zoom calls, we have saved ourselves a lot of time from having to answer follow up phone calls when someone forgets how to do a particular item we trained on because they now have the recorded zoom call to refer back to.
- Screen shares - We love utilizing screen shares for training and analytical calls. Screensharing is a must for training, but to be able to have screen sharing when explaining an analytical report to a client is such a bonus for the client. We can look at reports together and go over exactly what each section means without having to verbally describe a graph or statistical range.
- Integrations - Being able to integrate with Outlook makes booking meetings fairly seamless.
- Reliability - This has gotten better over the last couple of years but this is one area you don't want to have technical issues. Usually, a technical issue can be audio or spotty visual. Visuals have been great lately but every now and then we have technical difficulties with audio connecting that is not related to user error.
- Integrations - It would be nice to see zoom integrate with more platforms. This is probably already in the works, but the more the better in my opinion in order to cover the needs of a wider audience.
- Creativity - It would be an added benefit to having the platform utilize some more 'fun' options like emojis or screen effects. These are not always appropriate but when it is, it's just a great way to brighten the atmosphere in the business world.
Zoom has set-ups going smoothly
- Ease of use for first-time users.
- It works across multiple devices so we don't have to just use our macs.
- Recording meetings is very easy.
- Large group meetings can get chaotic and the muting options don't allow for a lot of customization.
- The user interface is not particularly smooth.
