Easy to Sign Up / Difficult to Cancel
Score 2 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
I have used Zoom on a regular basis for my business and was pleased with its performance. However, when I sold my company, I did not cancel my subscription while my business address was still active. Once I remembered to cancel this subscription, I tried to log in using my old business email and was prompted to enter a code that was sent to my old email address. As I no longer had access to that email, I was unable to access the code nor the Zoom account. Zoom Support instructed me to send an email and I have been in an endless loop of replies and delays in trying to cancel my subscription. I understand that this can happen according to online chats, but Zoom refuses to resolve what is really a simple situation.

I used Zoom for video conferencing that was used for variety of purposes in my organisation such as remote team collaboration, virtual meeting, webinar, and online training. Zoom addresses the business problem of facilitating remote communication and collaboration, particularly in my organisation with distributed teams with remote workers. The scope of use case for Zoom can vary depending on the organisation's needs, from small meeting to large webinars or virtual events.

Zoom Phone System - Not as advertised
Score 1 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Zoom sells you a phone system that is not flexible in functionality. It is also very expensive (about 80% more) compared to other VOIP systems such as VoIP.ms and other VoIP service providers. The limitations of the software are very basic and also an issue for corporations. It is a static setup. What you see is what you get. If you need to add users, it costs money versus others that are free. The Zoom phone system might be suitable for personal use only. Due to the lack of flexibility in the phone system, I was not able to use it for my purpose. However, Zoom does want you to commit to a 3-year contract which I did not. I was able to set up a 1-year contract which, by the way, is automatically renewable. Please pay attention to that, because Zoom won't allow you to get away even if you don't cancel past one day.

ZOOM - a good alternative to Google Meet

We are using Zoom in our organization to organize and connect during bigger events including external parties. The problem that Zoom is addressing was the limitation that other similar solutions presented, i.e. Google Meet requires any sort of Gmail account to log in to the system, while MS Teams requires installing heavy software that does not always run smooth on Mac ecosystem.

Zoom is used on a daily basis, and is what lets us stay connected in a hybrid environment, letting us keep working from different locations and still being as productive as if we all are together. We use it for day-to-day meetings, also is great for a larger group of people allowing the owner of the meeting to control the participation and interactions.

Zoom provides great bandwidth on calls.
We use Zoom for our large company meetings, and I like that it's extremely simple, it gives the presenters the option to immediately mute its audience (with other products, we'd have people interrupting all the time), but I like that Zoom provides crisp and clear sound and picture as well as providing me with the options to interact during the meeting such as chat and background filters.

I swapped from Whereby to Zoom to teach my private students online. Zoom has been very efficient in terms of ease of use, user-friendliness, conference initiation and invitation, screen sharing, video audio quality, live chat, and privacy features (virtual background image). It is very easy to navigate through the different sharing options (basic, advanced, and files), and I do love the iPad screen sharing through "screen mirroring".

Zoom has changed the landscape of our work in America and in my own organization. We used Zoom before the pandemic and it was a great way for employees across the nation to connect, then in 2020, it became a necessity. From who we serve to who we work with---everything was on the Zoom platform. The major business problems that were being addressed by Zoom were plain and simple---needing to connect and meet together.

A good product for large-list meetings on a company level.
We use Zoom for long-list meetings that involve more than 200 people on the same call. The product lets us solve the need of organizing such big meetings in a proper way. The integration with Google Calendar lets us inform all of the attendees properly.

We in UAE were fully face to face organization where showing physical presence was of essence, however since Covid hit this changed drastically and we had to look for options for remote meet-ups. So we looked for multiple solutions and found Zoom most convenient to use. It was easy for the tech savvy people and for our clients as well who have no past experience working on such links to meet people.
The Video/Audio Quality was very nice and it never disappointed. So easy adaptability of Zoom gave us that confidence to carry on our work without any delays.

Mostly used in leadership meeting sessions and one on one meetings. The biggest problem I experienced was the volume of people on meeting calls would cause a lag or delay in the call. This was not every time but mostly in all team meetings, which were once a month for the past year.

Zooming through Meetings and Webinars with Ease

Across the Highmark Health enterprise there are numerous use cases for which Zoom meets the needs of the users. Day-to-day meetings between clinicians, administration, and business office employees are the most common. Zoom also meets a subsection of the telemedicine/telehealth needs for the clinicians. Board Meetings include a hybrid option via Zoom. Enterprise All-Leader and All-Team-Member meetings are accomplished via Zoom Webinar. Zoom Rooms enabled a very specific use case for the Tumor Board Meetings at the flagship hospital for our Cancer Institute. We have found that Zoom is a tool that users tend to learn quickly and move to self-sufficiency in a relatively short period of time.

I use Zoom for communication between company employees. I like being able to share documents and being able to make presentations through Zoom. This greatly optimizes my working time and is extremely safe. Zoom has been the platform that has revolutionized business and individual meetings, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Using Zoom as a host or guest has allowed me to reduce costs in many ways and be able to make specific agreements that would not have been possible otherwise.

Zoom is a great web conferencing solution. Easy, reliable, and excellent audio/video quality.
My team at work telecommutes about 40% of the time, with some of us in the office and others working from home on any given day. We use Zoom as a web conferencing and teleconferencing tool for our daily standup meetings and for ad-hoc collaboration. It enables us to communicate and collaborate with each other regardless of where we're physically located.

POOR USER EXPERIENCE - Ads can't be turned off

I have been using Zoom for several years now and it is a great meeting platform for me and my sales and customer success teams. Recently I've started to see pop-up ads to refer a friend when I close a meeting on the Client app on my Mac. There is also a static banner app on the client asking for referrals. Zoom made this choice back in Nov 2021 for the web-based version, and their FAQs say that Paid Users wouldn't see ads. Obviously, their investors have pushed them to move ads to the client side and to paid users. <br><br>Dear Zoom, I do not wish to be a member of your sales or marketing teams. One extra click at the end of each meeting to dismiss the pop-up takes time, and I don't have time for that. <br><br>Chatting with your support they indicate that this is the default setting now and that it can't be changed. This needs to change.

I'm Not Happy with Zoom

I believe their invoicing department is an absolute horror. I regret my purchasing decision. I have been a very happy paying customer of Zoom for almost three years. The connectivity and quality of web calls is unmatched in the industry. However, their invoicing is a disaster I believe! We upgraded our existing account to use also Zooms' Webinar module on August 19. On that day, a pro-rated amount for the first five days of usage was charged (whatever the logic is there). Then, on August 23, the charge failed for some reason. One day later, the full amount ($85) for the first month got charged from the card. This was confirmed by the bank. However, Zoom did not recognize that the funds were received and sent me email reminders that we should pay. We had to reach out to their chat agents three times and threaten to cancel the account before they eventually escalated it to the next team level I found. This was on August 29. On August 30, they charge the credit card with $85 again, so we paid now two times (!), and they even sent a thank you email confirming the payment - yet, their invoicing department is still claiming they never received neither of the first nor the second payment I've found. Long story short, from my point of view I do not trust this company anymore and we are looking for alternatives.

I use it weekly to do training for two different groups. I help indie musicians grow their businesses by becoming better performers and booking gigs! I use it for trainings that are live with people. I also download the meetings for replays and I use it to record trainings that I upload elsewhere. It's a fabulous too for demonstrating different social media as well. I also have learned some of the new features where I can demonstrate from my smartphone and that makes it a wonderful tool to show others in their own business.

We use Zoom regularly for meetings, chats, and conferences. It’s really useful now that remote work is so common, so you can easily meet people all around the world. How quick and easy it is makes it a very reliable tool to work and study with different people and also to study.

I use Zoom for all client facing demonstrations/meetings. Ever since COVID struck the world, there was a huge need for video conference calls, and Zoom meets and exceeds that need. I am able to make it personal by showing my face, demonstrate the product just like I would if I was in person with the client, and record the meeting to send to the client post meeting or review it at a later date.
