Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

We use Zoom Rooms. It's very convenient to start meetings and get the discussion started, especially as our conf rooms are booked back to back. The only drawback I have seen is when the prospect/customer is on a different conferencing system (Webex, GTM) and we cannot use a Zoom Room setup to connect to that and have to huddle around our laptops. Imagine 7 people in a conf room (enabled with Zoom Room) each on their laptop connected to a customer Webex. Not fun :)

My user experience has been phenomenal. The product is very reliable and easy to use. The quality of audio and video has been very high. It DOES just work! That is a great thing compared to the last 20 years of other solutions on the market.

Zoom Rooms are a game-changer. The simplicity, the controls from a centralized control panel, and the ability to remove cables are all reasons that Zoom Rooms rock.

As previously mentioned, all of our conference rooms are now Zoom Rooms. This has been critical for decluttering our rooms by enabling wireless sharing, and for empowering users to cross-collaborate with remote offices and participants.

We have saved a large amount of capital by being able to set up Zoom Rooms with non-proprietary equipment. We get to choose what we purchase; Zoom doesn't make us buy anything special. They have recommendations, but it is not mandatory.

Zoom Rooms, paired with an iPad or controller, are lifesavers. The PCs that run the Zoom Rooms are always ready to roll. In the event of power or connection failures, they boot right back up to the Zoom Room, ready to start the next meeting. User interference is minimal as the rooms can be upgraded, rebooted and troubleshooted from an intuitive user panel thousand of miles away.

The setup is super easy to manage. It is just a matter of knowing what you want to implement from the get-go. Support for the product is fantastic and we hope it stays that way. I expect that our whole company will be rolled out with Zoom in the quarter!

Zoom Rooms are fantastic and easy to use. We use it with MXW from Shure and a P300 from Shure. Audio quality is great and it really easy to use. We stopped using another brand to show the video from our computer. We even stop using HDMI or VGA cables. Our conference tables look cleaner and ready to work with the team. We are implementing a new Zoom Room this month and looking to have 2 more. It is easy and fast to do.

Zoom Rooms are the bomb. They are the easiest rooms to use, no more guessing if the room is available or not. When using the Zoom Room anyone can share their screen without having to plug their system in. I am also glad that no matter which system you use, they all interact well.

I love how we have set up Zoom Room at our company. We used a third-party called Munki to image our machines (before APFS days) and have set the machine reboot, update, screen settings, etc. The only thing these machines do is run the Zoom Rooms software. I have personally set up all of the North American Zoom rooms. I think in the beginning it was very challenging at first but once I got into a flow it was like running a conveyor belt.

Now the only thing that I check with the Zoom Rooms is if the iPad Zoom Controller/Calendar and the Zoom software on the Mac minis is up-to-date.

Rooms that are fully established as Zoom Rooms are great with constant positive end-user feedback. We do have challenges integrating with legacy VTC systems. These challenges are on the VTC side, not Zoom issues. Challenges with Fed Ramp integration in Zoom Rooms can be challenging with some features not available yet. Overall, Zoom Rooms just work.

We have multiple Zoom Rooms at different locations. They work great and our staff really enjoys using them. However, we have found that the A/V integration is sometimes not ideal and this causes some issues with the hardware not performing as expected. If we could get Zoom appliances that are fully integrated and customized for a single purpose, we would have a better user experience.
