Staff satisfaction is very high. The equipment cost is low compared to a Cisco product. The bandwidth requirement is very low. Staff really like being able to see everyone on the meeting. It is very easy to control the meeting from an iPad. We also use Zoom just to share content from a laptop in a room without having a meeting.

Yes, overall it's been an overwhelmingly positive experience. Most people in our org have had excellent reviews about how easy it is to just walk into a meeting and get things started.

Zoom Rooms has been rolled out to all of our conference rooms with a meeting satisfaction rate consistently over 95%. The quality and consistency are the biggest features that improve the end-user experience and reduces the number of time technicians and admins spend on conferencing and collaboration technologies.

Currently, our go-to-market team does not use Zoom Rooms. From my understanding, Zoom Rooms allows teams to wirelessly connect via video and audio through on-screen conferencing. It is a good tool for remote employees. Dyknow does not have remote workers, therefore we do not have a need to use Zoom Rooms when we meet.

Yes. I've enjoyed the integrated experience and overall functionality when doing audio/video conferencing and wireless screen sharing. Zoom Rooms versatility has been helpful and I've used it for meetings where all attendees are in the same room/location as well as when remote attendees join from another location.

No, we currently do not use Zoom rooms but would be interested in trying it very soon. Before doing so I feel I may want to get some training to help us understand in detail the benefits and how it works.

Zoom rooms are quite useful for our organization. Several meeting rooms are reserved for regular meetings and new participants can join easily to the meeting through the tablets running Zoom Rooms. The app is simple and the UI is very well designed. It is intuitive, you can easily navigate and figure out how to use it.
