Overall Satisfaction with Zoom
Zoom is a smooth and great-working video conference solution for companies that exceed 300 or so employees. Having previously used BlueJeans, I can tell you this is far superior in usability and the ability to have company meetings without the need for IT interception or finagling. Zoom is also embedded into calendars to allow for easy meet scheduling.
- Expands screen-only sharing and makes video conferencing that much easier
- Zoom link for everyone
- Mute all
- Needs to allow users to trigger screen share for others (nice to have)
- Interface a little confusing
- Requires a bit of tech savviness for first timers
- Efficiency (huge)
- Need for manpower decrease (IT intervention)
- Time save
Yes, we have rooms set up for Zoom usage. It's great and works quite smoothly, though the Internet connection can affect the rooms with Zoom unable to instantly update. Rather, it takes a full refresh to make Zoom jump back up again. Somewhat cryptic and tech savvy-dependent at first, but a good tool once it's set up.
BlueJeans always had connectivity issues and rough signal with more than 200-300 people on it. Great for small companies just starting out, BlueJeans doesn't match up with Zoom on a larger scale. Zoom has easy integration, easy usage, pleasurable aesthetics, and a tight connection with all devices to allow for smooth video conferencing.
