Overall Satisfaction with Zoom
Currently, everyone uses Zoom across my company. We use it to communicate easily across teams and locations. I work 50% remotely so Zoom is absolutely necessary to participate in HQ meetings. The connection is very reliable and I trust it with my meetings that span over 25 people for hours at a time.
- Easy to initiate a meeting
- Reliable connection
- Easy to share my screen
- Security/privacy
- Ability to stabilize connection when WiFi is poor
- Saved costs by allowing people to work remote
- Making cross collaboration very easy
- Instant 1-1s without any set up work
Google Hangouts is more easily integrated into Gmail, but I have found that the quality with Zoom is much better. However, I have noticed times when bandwidth requirements seem lower with Google Hangouts - making it my go-to when I am somewhere with an unreliable connection. I also think Google Hangouts makes it harder to share exactly what you want.
