Overall Satisfaction with Zoom
Zoom has been an incredible tool which replaced Skype for Business in my organization. It's being used by the whole organization. Being a cloud video conferencing tool, it solved many problems that we were facing while using Skype for Business a few years back. Quicker in implementation and peace of mind for the IT team.
- Cloud Video conferencing solution avoids complex hardware appliances for hosting locally, hassle-free setup by IT team, less time to deploy.
- End to End encryption and less bandwidth consumption. HD video and voice features.
- Easy to use and does not need training for end users. All categories of people use it.
- Zoom conference rooms are great and easy to use.
- Very competitive pricing and has various price packages.
- Plugins for Mail clients, browsers, etc. are really great features.
- Joining by phone is greatest advantage.
- Recording the session and maintaining the recording over cloud is wonderful feature.
- Wonderful administrative console and controls offered.
- Administrators should be able to specifically able to enable recording feature for individual user. At present enabling recording feature enables for all users.
- Creating different groups in corporate and Security rules to restrict communication among the groups is not available.
- Large group meetings have some restrictions on mute/unmute voice and video after the meeting starts.
- Using Mac for Zoom rooms can be expensive for some of small companies.
- Some of the zoom room multiple screen setups reflect differently at times while the changes are made while conferencing is ON.
- AD integration and avoiding non corporate workers to communicating with corporate workers.
- Data sharing restrictions outside corporate.
- In short there are many Security controls absent.
- + Collaboration has never been better since we switched to zoom.
- + Cost control is significant.
- -- Security controls are a challenge which I have mentioned in Cons.
- + Almost Zero tickets related any assistance for Zoom with Helpdesk.
Cost, collaboration, ease of use and setup, and no specific skill is needed to administrate.
