  • Easy to connect.

  • Multi-device support - Almost any internet-connected device can connect.

  • Easy connection, just click and you are ready for your session.
  • Low bandwidth schools have the option to connect only through audio and I can hear them crystal clear.
  • Easy integration of multiple cameras from different vendors.
  • The ability to share multiple cameras at once helps with students' attention to a specimen and me at the same time.

  • Easy to configure and manage.
  • An abundance of features from SSO integrations to Zoom Rooms.
  • The stability and quality of audio/video is top-notch.
  • Zoom Rooms require a Voice package. Makes sense but wish it was clearer at the onset.
  • Transcription is pretty good but could be better.

  • Easy to use - We can get someone into a meeting from anywhere in less than 5 minutes.
  • It just works - We have staff who use a wide range of platforms and Zoom works with them all.
  • There is not a better distance collaboration tool on the market. We can work together from miles away and feel like we are in the same room.
  • Better integration into a learning management system.

  • Connects easily.
  • Ease of use.
  • Interoperability.
  • Cost.
  • Marketing to end-users - Not enough market knowledge at this stage.
  • Marketing to IT consultants - These companies are often responsible for identifying and recommending SaaS. Zoom needs a larger presence with these companies.
  • Training on Zoom - A certification program would be beneficial.

  • Provides the best video engagement.
  • Enables (through hardware vendors) to have a much cheaper and easier installation of equipment to VC enable a conference room or other space.
  • Provides a much more cost-effective way to have a major town hall event.
  • Find a way to help better deal with audio/feedback issues (as having to now work more with users about having a "master" source of audio in a given room/space).
  • Develop ways to help legacy user adoption (e.g. those that don't even want to press a button to end or start a meeting).

  • Coordinating our schedules is very easy to do with Zoom.
  • Video conferencing with multiple users is extremely easy to use and view.
  • Sharing screens and documents is super useful.
  • Helping people use it for the first time is a bit time consuming.
  • Sometimes the emails for scheduled Zoom calls do not come in or the conference number doesn't work.
  • Having a side chat session that is easy to use would be helpful.

  • Use of codes and links
  • Easy sign in using Gmail
  • Strong network connectivity, clear image and sound
  • I like that the meeting time is at least 40 minutes. That's enough time to run 2-3 tests
  • I like the active speaker view, full-screen and gallery views, simultaneous screen share, telephone dial-in numbers, desktop and application sharing, personal rooms or meeting IDs, instant or scheduled meetings, raise hand options, breakout rooms, and whiteboarding sessions
  • Longer meeting times
  • I'd like to use Zoom on my mobile phone to record my screen on iOS and Android
  • Price per month could be more affordable for single users and testers

  • The user interface is extremely easy to use. This makes it so all skill levels can join a meeting easily.
  • The audio and video quality for meetings is very good. This makes for clear sound quality and HD video.
  • The Zoom chat and phone features add additional communication options.
  • The record function is easy to use and allows users to record and send the file to people who may have missed the meeting.
  • The Zoom Rooms alerts could be better set up so the admins are not getting countless emails every day.
  • The dashboard could be better optimized for PC.

  • Extremely user-friendly. Launching the application and connecting to a meeting is very easy.
  • Because it is a cloud-based solution, we have not experienced latency or hiccups as of yet.
  • I am not familiar enough with Zoom to offer input on improvement.

  • Ease of use, with minimal training needed for our staff.
  • Ability to troubleshoot call quality from the admin dashboard.
  • Cloud-based call recording.
  • Occasionally our staff has trouble with call quality, which is not related to the Zoom product, but usually their own connection issues. Only our Admin has the ability to log into the back end and seek out the problem.

  • Very user-friendly. We have a lot of people that aren't tech savvy, so having a product that is easy to use is great.
  • The layout is great. Very straight forward and to the point.
  • We use iPads and employees love the new tech.
  • We like it more than BlueJeans!
  • The remote login support is icing on the cake!
  • I am still new to it and haven't come across an issue that is worth mentioning.
