Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best for online classes,meeting,group study,discussion with best quality picture and sound and available in android and windows also.
Nice platform but needs some improvements
What do you like best about the product?
I like the facilities provided by zoom, which allows us to have conference meetings and online webinars. Zoom has changed the way of meetings to take place enhancing the development towards digital world. With the help of Zoom, we can easily connect with our clients in real-time and improve user experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not too fond of some things about zoom cloud meetings. Some of them include the limited time of 40 minutes to finish one session, and sometimes zoom lags a lot. Zoom is also somewhat costly to purchase.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Due to the Covid19 pandemic, I could not go to my office to perform my daily wor, but zoom made the work from home possible. I can easily interact with the clients and have meetings with my seniors. I have realized that there is no need to book expensive hotels and conference houses for meetings and group meetups as they can be quickly done with the help of Zoom.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want to buy zoom software to host your meetings online, then you should go for it if some of its limitations don't matter that much.
Helped so much, but could be better!
What do you like best about the product?
I liked the students being able to raise their hands, using instant polling, being able to mute on entry, having chat control, having the ability to change hosts, or assign a co-host.
What do you dislike about the product?
That when I have all students I can't have all videos on or the audio is "glitchy". So we had to spend most of our last three months of school with our video off. I would like better audio and video capability if I were to continue using Zoom in the fall.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem of not being able to teach in the classroom. I found the whiteboard and screen sharing very beneficial. Using Zoom in conjunction with GoGuardian allowed me to look at my student's screens and help them by using the text tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Play around with the controls first to see what options you have and want before starting your meeting for the first time. Make sure when you are talking your microphone is green and not red (muted) it sounds simple, but you would be surprised how many times people, including myself, forget they are muted.
ZOOM away
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use. Anyone can learn this platform quickly
What do you dislike about the product?
I have nothing I. Dislike. For me this is the best system
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Communication for meetings. Good for social distancing
Powerful, Friendly and Reliable Conferencing
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is one of the best features of Zoom. It's friendly and approachable in ways that Webex and Skype have historically not been. Moreover it's reliable. I've never found Zoom to let me down, whether it's a personal one-on-one call with a friend or a business meeting with 10 or more people present. The product also works on multiple platforms. It's great on the desktop as well as on a smartphone.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not too bad, but Zoom was criticized recently for lack of security compared with competitors. So they jumped in quickly and tightened up the security. For a while it seemed mandatory to have passwords and waiting rooms, and this added layer confused me and the others I wanted to communicate with. More recently it seems to have stabilized. I now use the waiting room feature but don't bother with passwords.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps my small virtual team stay in touch with one another, wherever we live and work. For example my chief developer is in Maine, and I'm in Massachusetts in the U.S. Of course we also use it with clients reviewing the sales and marketing materials we develop. It's screen share feature is powerful and reliable.
Zoom has become the go to for meetings
What do you like best about the product?
Zoom is fairly easy to use for non-tech people. Very few issues with connectivity and audio lag. zoom. It has many features you can choose to use, such as polls and breakout rooms This has helped keep people engaged during meetings. Not having to use a green screen for a virtual background has been a huge advance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The layout of all the controls can be a little confusing. Some are bottom left, some top right, some hidden until you know they are there. This can slow down the workflow if you are unfamiliar with the process. A panel of controls in one place would perhaps be more effective. Being able to add a breakout room after the rooms are opened would be a great feature to add. Currently you have to close the rooms and recreate. Also, being able to name the rooms and not have that change when you recreate would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During COVID, this has been the best way to continue group get-togethers and meetings. It allows us to have weekly meetings, use PowerPoint to stay on track, and maintain a connection. The free accounts are great for short meetings and have allowed more to use it in this time of isolation. It has allowed businesses to connect more personally with those outside our normal geographic area. Attending new groups, meetings, and organizations that have formed online has been a great business advantage, and even using zoom to replace local face-to-face meetings has saved countless hours of travel time and bills for expensive coffee.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check out the video tutorials and practice a few times before the meeting. It can be a little tricky finding everything you need to click and practice can be a game changer.
Zoom Workplace Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like the consistency of the product. Zoom has been able to maintain consistency in how the product operates, integrate new features, continue popular features, all without changing the basic functionality of the end product. For me, when i start using a product and each new "update" requires me to learn a new way to work with the product, it often gets overwhelming and ultimately too complex to use efficiently. Because I use Zoom Workplace very often, I see the changes as they happen, and if there is ever an issue with something not working or unclear how to use, customer support is very attentive and prompt. Also, Zoom was a very easy transition during the Covid era and the whole platform just made it easy to go from in-person meetings to meetings online with little to no interruption in the services I provide.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the fact that I cannot verbally chat with only one person in the meeting (a.k.a. sidebar) if I wanted to share something. I have to do that ONLY in the chat feature or via file share. While I can do this in a private breakout room, the host must create that room and I'd have to leave the main meeting to do so. I also do not like that if I share a pdf, for example, my attendees cannot see it. I cannot figure out why this is so.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a teacher, this has allowed me to stay personally connected with my students and maintain my class structure and accountability. Also in this regard, it has allowed me to continue to help individual students by connecting with them virtually and helping them through homework problems. I have many students who go on to college and because Zoom is virtual, I am able to meet with them, or even hold classes with them even though they are far away. It has made getting groups together for the purposes of education very easy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try all of the alternatives. Zoom is NOT the only virtual meeting software available. There are many free options. However, once you do, you will find that precious few of then have the capabilities of Zoom. In my experience, only one other piece of software has been able to provide the same basic functionality as Zoom, but Zoom still wins, for me, in overall features applicable to my experience.
Zoom is one of the most reliable meetings tool out there
What do you like best about the product?
I always use Zoom when it comes to conversations online. It's more personal and builds more trust when I am talking with clients or potential clients than chatting over email. It's easy to make presentations and share the most important details about a meeting. I always had a great experience using zoom as an attendee/listener. Every option is easily available and you can find it fast. Sound settings are clear and separate in zoom than on a computer and the setup of speakers and microphone is easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes people are not sure how to set up a call and schedule it and send the invite so you need to always copy the ID and password to join which is a little inconvenient, especially If you have a lot of different IDs for other meetings as well. This could be emphasized. The option to raise your hand is a little bit hidden under the part called to participate and would be great if would be better accessible. We cannot send files over zoom anymore.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the problem of distant communication and getting more people, connecting with clients, have easy and seamless communication. I use it for online classes as well as for sharing the material. It saves me time and it is really convenient to join I don't need to worry to connect or not as I know it will always work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking to connect with your clients more 1-1 and build instant trust, zoom is an easy-to-use meeting tool. It's reliable and has lot's of options to create a great meeting experience for every party involved.
