Zoom Government (F,S,L,E) (Higher Ed, K-12) [Private Offer Only]

I have worked with SAP but it was for a small amount of time, as I was working at a bank where they were using in-house software.

I use Zoom  for meetings, and if it's something such as tools including Windows, Linux, or Zoom  for meetings, then I work with those.

I'm not sure about buying licensing from the AWS  marketplace or somewhere else because I'm not responsible for it.

I was using mainly Teams, but for some meetings from other customers or parties, we are using Zoom as well.

Regarding Zoom features, I wonder which features you are referring to when asking about breakout rooms.

I am recording my meetings or webinars, and regarding cloud recording, I do that.

Both Teams and Zoom have the same features; I've used Teams and Zoom for meetings, and I sometimes recorded the meetings, which can be done on both.

I haven't used breakout rooms, and I'm not aware of it, even though they have functionality where you can separate 100 people into small parties.

I am recording, and it has been great and smooth so far, and I haven't faced any problems.

I thought Zoom doesn't have the feature to save chats after meetings, while Teams allows for document sharing, which I know because in my latest company we were sharing documents through Teams; I didn't use that in Zoom.

I would definitely appreciate seeing additional features in Zoom if I had cases that required them.

I don't have any suggestions on what could be done with Zoom to make it even better in the future, as I used it and didn't experience any problems.

I have been working with Zoom for a minimum of 5 years.

Setting up the application was very easy; it was just two clicks and you're done.

I don't have any idea on what could be done with Zoom to make it even better in the future, as I used it and didn't have any problems.

No interruptions occurred, and nothing changed even when we had 30 people; it wasn't laggy or interrupting.

I didn't have any problem with Zoom, and overall with Zoom, there are no connection issues, stability, or performance problems.

I had meetings with a maximum of 30 people, but I did not have large-scale meetings with my customers of 100 persons or more.

I have never needed to contact Zoom Technical Support, so I didn't ever need to reach out.

I used the free version of Zoom, so I found it inexpensive when considering pricing based on the market.

Setting up the application was very easy; it was just two clicks and you're done.

I actually used both the application and the web version of Zoom for initial setup, but I downloaded the application because it has more features.

Setting up the application was very easy; it was just two clicks and you're done.

It was not difficult because it is easier to set up, so I didn't face any issues at all.

I integrate with Google Calendar when integrating Zoom with Teams, since I am working with Teams. I would rate Zoom an 8.5 on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is the best, perfect solution, and 1 is the worst.

I belong to the technical side of Oracle technologies, where I use different technologies that are continuously upgrading. The generative AI is also emerging, and I am currently reading about generative AI in Oracle. Regarding BI, I can tell you about the BI publisher which I have used in many different projects for data visualization.

BI publisher is a very strong Oracle tool through which we visualize data from different platforms such as Microsoft and Oracle EBS , ERP  of Oracle.

Most of the time, we use Zoom  and Microsoft Teams  for communication.

I have used Zoom  many times for communication with colleagues and to send and receive different files. It is very secure for data transferring in our offices for clients, and it is used for interviews, different meetings, and conferences.

I use Zoom for file transferring, interviews, conferences, online sessions, and training purposes.

I have used breakout rooms once during a training session in my previous office where thousands of people were in the Zoom meeting.

The breakout feature is one of the reasons I prefer Zoom.

Most of the time we use the recording feature. Whenever we conduct online classes, sessions, or important meetings, we use the recording button to record everything. After recording, we edit the content and share it with office colleagues or new clients.

This section requires clarification.

I have been using Zoom for almost 3 years along with Microsoft Teams .

I have tried other solutions but haven't found any as good as Zoom. Zoom is the priority because other applications for communication and meetings have tricky and not user-friendly interfaces. When it comes to meetings, sharing data, and conferences, we choose Zoom directly.

I can confirm I'm being contacted from PeerSpot, which is the leading review website for enterprise tech solutions. Some time ago I shared feedback on Oracle Analytics Cloud  solutions.

I use this solution for file transferring, interviews, conferences, online sessions, and training purposes.

The price is reasonable. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Zoom a 9.

My use case for Zoom  involves a half an hour meeting that we have daily during which someone shares their screen and we go over the plan for today, what went good in the past day, and various details. Afterwards, I pair with a colleague of mine and we either share screens or I share my screen. We collaborate on tasks that we have using Zoom , but the share screen functionality is a must. If this was not present in Zoom, we definitely wouldn't have used it.

I value the chat feature in Zoom as much as the screen share, and whenever we have a meeting, we also have a chat, but it's nowhere near what Slack  provides. Slack  has way more options such as replying to a thread, but also sending that message as a last message in the chat box.

Breakout  rooms in Zoom have helped facilitate more focused group discussions in my virtual meetings because you simply don't have to search for links to join other Zoom meetings. You just have one big call in the morning and afterwards, you split into the breakout rooms. Whenever I'm leaving my current breakout room, I'm returning to the main one, which is convenient because I don't have to search for any link to access it. Whenever I'm looking for someone, I can just browse to the breakout rooms and see whoever is in that room before joining. I don't have to join each and every room to find someone; I directly know where he or she is at.

This helps my focus as you have separate rooms for separate purposes, which is what my organization does. We keep specific rooms for specific purposes based on the name, such as one-on-one rooms prefixed with 'one-on-one' and pairing rooms prefixed with 'pair.' It's just a basic setup, but it's pretty handy.

Zoom has positively impacted my organization because it's essential for communication. Otherwise, we would not communicate the same way. We can see each other, we can hear each other as well. We use it daily for demos and for one-on-ones. It's a tool in our arsenal that is essential. We haven't used Microsoft Teams  or Google Meet, so it's hard to compare it to anything else, but we are very happy with Zoom. We see no need to switch from Zoom yet. It fulfills all our requirements, which are pretty standard: just video and audio, and also the breakout rooms.

I would definitely want the chat in Zoom to be improved.

I have seen areas of improvement in Zoom regarding the noise suppression setting. Sometimes I talk a bit low pitched and the other person cannot hear me. I'm guessing the noise suppression detects my voice as background noise instead of my actual voice. It might be a setting that I just need to tweak somewhere in the settings window. I haven't had the time to check that out yet. It happens from time to time; it's not crucial, but I check that the other person hears me by asking them if they heard what I just said. It occurs at least once daily, so it's not bothering to me, but to someone who is a bit more sensitive, it may be bothersome.

I find it hard to tell if there has been any return on investment with Zoom because I'm not dealing with the financials of our organization. I guess it helped us because whenever there's an incident at night and people need to synchronize to find out what's going on, they enter Zoom and talk to each other.

I have never experienced any drops with Zoom. I did once, but it proved to be my network and not related to Zoom, so it was very stable.

Regarding Zoom's capacity to host large-scale virtual events, it works really fine. I don't think we've ever been more than 40 in one call, but even when we were 40, we could still talk and understand each other. I saw no latency drops or anything related to that. Everything was fine.

I can share my experience with the scalability of Zoom by mentioning that the largest meeting I participated in was around 40 or 50 people. Everything went smoothly, so judging by that, Zoom fulfills the most common necessities.

I have used similar solutions before Zoom, but it was quite some time ago. I used Microsoft Teams  about 2 or 3 years ago. I used Amazon's internal platform called Chime as well.

I do not use Zoom's recording feature during most meetings, but on Fridays, we usually hold a demo called demo day. During the demo, whatever we've been working on for the past week is showcased to our colleagues. We use recording during the demo, but aside from that, we don't really use it. It's just once a week most of the cases.

The recording feature in Zoom hasn't helped in my post-meeting processes because I never replay any of the recordings. Those who are a bit higher up in the organization usually use them to take notes in retrospect, but personally, it didn't help me at all.

I'm not sure if I've integrated Zoom with Slack or Microsoft Teams. Currently, I have integrated Slack with Jira  and Confluence , but not with Zoom. I wonder how that works; if I have a meeting on my calendar, will Slack notify me that I should be entering there, or going back to Zoom?

Zoom's security framework has helped my organization ensure communication privacy and data protection, but I'm just a regular user. If it helps, we've never had anyone from outside our organization accidentally join our rooms.

I switched to Zoom for daily use simply because I changed jobs and that's how the setup was already laid out for my new team. It wasn't a personal choice; it just happened given the context.

I have used documents or manuals for Zoom once when I searched for how to stop the camera from following me around. Apparently, there is this option called 'main stage,' and if you enable it, then whenever you move around, the camera on your MacBook zooms in on your face. This option is no longer easily accessible; I cannot find it anymore. The setting should be in the video settings, but it's not. It is somewhere, but I can hardly find it. I changed it a month ago and now I can no longer see where it is.

My overall rating for Zoom is 9 out of 10.

I use Zoom  just for online meetings. I participate in meetings four or five times a week. We already have Zoom  for meetings. I use Zoom at least from time to time.

There is nothing particularly special to name, but it doesn't have any bugs or delays in meetings. In my opinion, these are the most helpful features of Zoom.

I use Zoom AI commands and AI tools sometimes. They can summarize the meeting for me. I found the AI feature very helpful.

I think there are aspects that need to be developed. While I haven't identified specific areas for improvement yet, I believe it could add many new AI features, which is why I wouldn't give it 10 out of 10.

I have been working with or using Zoom for around five or six years. I started using Zoom during the Corona pandemic.

It wasn't difficult to set up Zoom initially.

I haven't faced any issues in the last four or five months while using Zoom.

I did not ever contact Zoom's technical support.

Positive

I tried Microsoft Teams  many times, but I feel more comfortable with Zoom.

I haven't extensively tried other platforms, but my preference for Zoom is somewhat emotional. I simply feel more comfortable with Zoom than using Google Classroom . It's not related to specific features existing or not existing.

It wasn't difficult to set up Zoom initially.

I was doing research on Moodle  and EduWave .

Regarding software, I use Office 365 , Windows, Linux, and Zoom for meetings.

I use a platform called Stati Fitch for learning tools.

My team uses Notion  for communication with team members and students.

I use both the cloud-based version of Zoom and the application on my device, though I prefer the desktop version more.

My email contains 'Seif' (S E I F).

I work as a business development specialist in an education company.

I would rate Zoom nine out of 10 on a scale from one to ten.

I use Zoom  primarily for video conferencing. We have been using it as our main internal communication tool for our video conferencing needs.

Zoom  is a popular solution and was one of the first to introduce video collaboration. It provides the usual benefits of collaboration. It is a tool that is specially tailored for video conferencing, offering most of the necessary features for this purpose. Additionally, Zoom is available for free for up to forty minutes.

Zoom could improve its security. I heard they had a breach the last time.

I have been using Zoom for two years now.

There have been no stability issues or downtimes. Everything has been good.

I never had any reason to contact Zoom's technical support.

Positive

It was not difficult at all to configure Zoom initially or to start a conference.

Zoom offers a free version for up to forty minutes.

I would rate Zoom at nine out of ten, as nothing's perfect. I would rate the overall solution nine out of ten.
