Overall Satisfaction with Zoom

We use Zoom to communicate with partner schools in other towns as well as conduct our hiring interviews with potential staff working in other time zones or other countries.
  • Zoom does multi-party calling very well.
  • Zoom enables the sharing of documents and media well.
  • Zoom does a great job of organizing the location and time zones of callers.
  • The user interface is not particularly smooth.
  • It does take getting used to i.e. the jumping of screens with audio.
  • Our ability to communicate with teams across valleys has been helpful.
  • The ability to interview potential hires in a free, useful tool has been very helpful.
I have not used Zoom Rooms enough to feel I have a strong handle on all of its tools.
We use zoom because the multi-user feature in a single call has been more reliable and useful than other platforms.
Zoom is a great application when conferencing with teams who have previous experience with Zoom, but due to the breadth of competition, many people we conference with who are new to Zoom take a while getting used to the system.
