  • A bit of a hiccup to switch from WebEx to Zoom.
  • Eventually, we will have cost savings by the end of the year.

  • The client calls are way more easier to be done with Zoom. The no registration allows anyone to join the call i.e. client calls if they do not want to register but still connect to the call.
  • The always Zoom on options allows pairing with our clients and the screen sharing and controlling are very good.
  • It would be a little better if the remote control and pairing machines improved so that our organisation can use it for paired programming.

  • Zoom has allowed us to save money by switching from a competing product
  • Users can't attend two meetings at the same time (it's rare, but still a requested feature)
  • Employees tell us how much easier it is to start, join, and control meetings now

  • Zoom is allowing us to trim down from 3 UC providers to just 1 within 6 months, saving a substantial amount of money.
  • Zoom has taken our Training and Development Department to new heights and allowed them to do things we have not been able to do with other providers, such as breakout rooms and collaborative whiteboards.
  • Zoom could do a better job at how it manages meeting recordings, but it is still a great environment.

  • We are currently moving everyone to pro accounts, so the cost is going up, but we feel its worth it.
  • Time for the setup of a meeting is very efficient and saves time and effort.
  • Setting up the accounts saves us as admin time to work on other problems.

  • Allowed for us to start meetings at a faster speed especially with its Slack integration.
  • Integration with HubSpot has made it easy to also set up Zoom webinars and sync any contact data within the CRM.
  • Need battery chargers for laptops in a meeting lasting over an hour - drains them fairly quickly.

  • Saves travel time as staff from two locations can easily meet now online.
  • Increased our number of hybrid courses, as some courses use Zoom meetings.

  • Zoom provides opportunities for face to face engagement with leaders that I do not work with face to face.
  • Zoom provides a method for me to offer face to face interaction and teaching with my students.
  • Although Zoom may have saved the organization money, I am unaware of these benefits as I do not serve as that type of stakeholder.

  • A much more integrated level of collaboration has been achieved with clients
  • A lot of potential clients have been able to engage with our company via Zoom due to the simplicity, meaning more business opportunities.

  • It has helped improve collaboration between teams and individuals.
  • Has given the company huge costs savings by not having to meet onsite nearly as much to communicate and work together since the company is mostly remote.
  • Helped on-board new employees faster and more effectively with the tools and features it offers.
