My whole organization uses Zoom. It have been very helpful in covid times. Everyone is working from there home, so we don't want to go to office.
It has been very easy to do meetings and there is lot of people who can be involved. One can share screen with each other and present presentation.
The most used features is that one can control its own mic, video screen, each and every single feature on individual bases.
Need to different app for messages is also resolved with in built chat option.
It is easy to install and if any problem arises we can help our customers while sitting in our home.
Overall it is very good designed app for daily connectivity.

Zoom is used in my organization as a tool to connect with both employees, as well as perspective customers. With COVID-19 making fac-to-face meetings nearly impossible over the pas year, we've really relied on video conferencing to stay connected. Zoom makes meeting a possibility, and has kept us running without a blip.

Zoom is mainly used as a solution for:
  • video meetings
  • conference calls
We used Zoom mainly for meetings outside the organization, mainly for the sales department.
It was usually used as a solution for video meetings and conference calls with customers, since it is easy to use.

This application offers me good collaboration with my team members and it is a time-saving product, that never bounds me being bound about to carry my work on the basis of time zone and the place. This tool has shared my workload as I [have gotten] rid of sending excessive emails to my clients. Zoom offers consistent services and facilitates me in scheduling the meetings.

Zoom is a software, based especially [for] online meeting automation, which has a myriad of applications in terms of writing and editing live content for screen sharing sessions or one-way group presentations. [The meeting host can] constantly review the number of people who are attending the room [and] can configure privacy settings depending on whether you want another person participating in the meeting [to] host.

We use Zoom specifically when interacting with enterprise clients, or clients who think Google Hangouts isn't as secure or reliable as needed. Zoom has been more reliable than Google Hangouts in many instances. Less confusion on which link to select, and in general less lag and better quality audio in my opinion.

There are times when a service specialized in remote communications is required, as is the case of the current global situation with the pandemic caused by the coronavirus, where the work has been maintained almost entirely remotely. Zoom is a software created for videoconferencing, which has remained as one of the best to meet remote sessions, but has now found a new boom in the market. Zoom has a regular technical support section, where employees receive clarifications on doubts about the use of the platform at least once a day, and that could improve compared to that offered by other services such as Gotomeeting, but this is compensated by the amount of information we get through the FAQ section of the software. If we talk about Zoom's ability to set up group meetings and make the work extensible at different levels of communication, Zoom clearly meets all the structural characteristics for productive use.

Since being placed in shelter due to COVID-19 and having to telework, I now use Zoom to hold full staff and community partner meetings. This has been very helpful since the majority of my work involves meetings, collaborations and communication with people from all over the country. I highly recommend and plan to continue to subscribe.

With the changes we had to make with COVID-19, Zoom was a tool that we moved to because of its ease of use and something that we could have our users start using right away. My team had used it previously and we determined that it was the easiest option for our users to turn to.

Zoom is the most stable software and is very useful for video conferencing. It provides rich functionality to the user to share their personal screen and also to have a discussion with their folks via online video conferencing. It allows the user to feel as if they are physically present in the meeting and having a discussion with their folks.

I use it to communicate with clients, who are individuals in job search or career change. I use it for 1:1 meetings. And at times use it to address groups of candidates.<div>In particular, I use Zoom to help candidates practice for interviews. My comments in my review are mostly in relation to this way of using it.</div>

Zoom is used across the whole organization. It helps teachers in delivering their lectures effectively through the use of whiteboard and screen sharing features. In addition, we can record our lectures so the students may get help even after the lecture is over. Also, it helps with their meetings and stakeholders for various webinars, especially during the pandemic.

We started using Zoom on a limited basis prior to the Pandemic - we were more of a face to face organization. Once everyone was working remotely we were very happy that we had such a versatile software in place to enable our business to continue to operate. The change happened very quickly throughout the US, and with Zoom we were able to keep in contact with our clients. Zoom is such a great tool, we recommend it to everyone.

We use Zoom for group calls, screen sharing, presentations, webinars. international calls, training and more. Zoom works great on any platform. It's a better alternative to Skype, Facebook video calls, Google Hangouts and Apple Facetime. I can record all the calls to the cloud for future replays. I use Zoom almost daily.

Zoom has been a solution for all our virtual meets within the team and with others outside our organization. We are a startup focused on education management/e-learning [ed-tech], where we provide courses to students and also work as freelancers for larger organizations. We need to have regular meetings and Zoom has been one of the best solutions we could use. It is being used by all the members of our startup.

It is being used across the whole organization. The majority of any meetings now are all done working from home, and it helps with having video or audio meetings for any technical discussion with a group of participants. We also have our weekly meetings on a regular basis for different requirement discussion and our quarterly meets via Zoom.

We use Zoom for external communications with our customers and we use it for webinars. It is being used throughout most of the departments in the organization. It helped us with our teleconferencing bills each month. Before this, we'd sometimes get surprised by a large bill. We know how much we are going to pay without surprises now.
