Overall Satisfaction with Zoom

I use Zoom for meetings within my company and professional development meetings with external groups. It is so easy to connect. Zoom remembers my information for selection when opening up the Zoom app. You can use it on the computer or phone and a tablet if you have one. Meetings can go on even if you are sitting behind a screen and can't meet in person. It is a great alternative and user-friendly. Zoom is a unique tool for communicating with co-workers in the Netherlands and Belgium for screen sharing and training. We had to implement an ERP system in Belgium over Zoom. Thankfully, the Netherlands was implemented 6 months prior and co-workers could travel 6 hours by train to the Belgium office to provide additional on-site support while we were in the US virtually working through the integration and initial bugs. It wasn't the ideal situation, but [it was] the best we could do under the travel restriction circumstances.
  • Easy and simple connection over an internet connection on a tablet, phone or computer and can switch from 1 device to another in an instant
  • Remembers previous meeting information for quick access as you don't have to look it up prior to connecting
  • Provides easy collaboration with people all over the world direct from our homes
  • Limit on participants for phone call via video
  • Time constraints on meetings for free version
  • Easy and fast connection
  • Allows for virtual connection as alternative to meeting in person
  • Provides collaboration tools to work through big and small issues and come to a decision even when you can't meet in person
  • Business can continue as usual when meeting virtually
  • Provides collaboration tools to assist in the communication and make decisions quicker while talking through things in real time which ultimately saves time and money
  • Due to time limits, meetings can seem rushed making decision making questionable
  • You can quickly chat with a participant to get simple answers right away and have documentation of the response rather than wait for an email or return call. This is good for IT support when you are troubleshooting an issue for them and need clarification to make sure you are working on the right thing and not wasting time or resources
  • You can meet anywhere and use the technology on your phone while traveling so you are not tied to only receiving answers during business hours and is especially convenient when communicating with co-workers in the Netherlands and Belgium especially when there can be a language barrier when talking. Screen sharing can truly speak volumes.
Teams is very comparable to what Zoom offers. The products provide the same benefits and it is more of a company preference than a personal one. Zoom is a great alternative for meetings and phone calls to remain productive when working virtually.

I haven't heard any audio issues during meetings. Zoom attempts to reconnect you if your internet disconnects during a meeting. It is very easy to take control of the meeting with the collaboration tools so that I can quickly share my screen and files with the other team members in the meeting. It is best to limit the number of participants for a call or meeting. Sometimes it is difficult to discern who is talking during a screen share presentation. Also, it seems like [Zoom] is modeled after Skype [which] I've never had a particular affinity to .
