What is Zoom?
Zoom Meetings is an AI-powered video conferencing platform developed by Zoom for online meetings, remote collaboration, presentations, training sessions, and hybrid workplace communication. The software enables participants to join virtual meetings through desktop applications, mobile devices, web browsers, and compatible conference room systems. Its video conferencing capabilities include HD audio and video, screen sharing, customizable layouts, virtual backgrounds, appearance effects, and background noise suppression. Hosts can manage participant permissions, organize breakout rooms, control screen sharing, and configure meeting settings to support different collaboration requirements. Built-in collaboration features allow participants to exchange messages, annotate shared content, use digital whiteboards, and work together on documents during meetings. Zoom's AI meeting capabilities generate summaries, identify discussion highlights, extract action items, and answer questions about meeting conversations. My Notes enables users to capture personal meeting notes while AI-assisted transcription organizes important discussion points and generates structured takeaways. Automated captions and multilingual caption translation help participants follow discussions across different languages and accessibility requirements. Meeting recording capabilities allow authorized users to preserve sessions, review previous discussions, and share recordings with colleagues. Integration with Zoom Team Chat, Scheduler, Calendar, and supported third-party applications connects meeting activities with scheduling, document collaboration, and ongoing team communication. Zoom Meetings also provides administrative management, configurable security settings, meeting authentication options, reporting tools, and integrations that support deployment across small businesses, educational institutions, and large enterprises.

Saved our business
5 out of 5 stars Date: Jun 29 2021SummaryIt has proved so useful, that even though our business is reopened, we still use it very often. It has become an indispensable tool for our office.
PositiveZoom was a lifesaver during the pandemic. We were able to use it for business meetings and to do remote visits with patients. We loved it, and easy to use.
NegativeThere really aren't any features I don't like. If you use the free version, you may need to do a second session.

Up Up and Away with Zoom
5 out of 5 stars Date: Mar 06 2021SummaryIt has been nothing shorty of fantastic. I have been able to maintain my workload and my teams have been able to perform as if they were working together in a conference room rather than virtually.
PositiveWith the Pandemic limiting direct face to face meetings, creativity became necessary for on line meetings. While there are a number of programs available, it was ZOOM that has stood out as the leader. It is easy to use and the various features allow for greater interactive sessions including polls, chat, and breakout teams to work together then come back to the entire group. Has allowed for enhanced project development. Verbal communication comes through very clearly.
NegativeThere were times when it appeared that the connectivity was slow, but that may not have been a ZOOM function, but more of the server issue.

Zoom
5 out of 5 stars Date: Jun 18 2021SummaryGreat program and it is very simple to use with very little room for user error. It makes meeting with others quick and easy.
PositiveIt has a free version and the time that you are allowed to use in just the free version is plenty of time. And it's very easy to use.
NegativeThere are so many different companies that offer the same service. It just gets confusing when people send so many links and they all work for the same time. More of a user issue not an app issue. People just don't understand how to cancel old appointments.

Zoom is another conferencing software, but with better scalability
5 out of 5 stars Date: Apr 01 2021SummaryZoom has everything needed to serve large team meetings that have different types of devices to communicate, as the software adapts better to the screen type of each device than any other similar service we have had the opportunity to test. Zoom is stable, reliable, and easy to configure.
PositiveThe strength of a software like zoom lies precisely in its deployment capacity, which allows it to be run on low-end phones. This is excellent for being able to directly adapt the image quality to our screen pixels, or to our internet connection, so there are no performance problems.
NegativeZoom does not have a proper organizer that serves to enter meetings directly from the calendar entries. This hinders the accessibility that everyone involved in the meeting has to enter it, and forces us to constantly share links to the meeting manually.

Ubiquitous, but could look and do better
3 out of 5 stars Date: Oct 01 2021SummaryMany better alternatives have popped up with better features, functionality. For enterprise users, would still recommend Teams, as it is more than just a calling app and does the job 100x better.
PositiveUbiquitous and easy to use, Zoom is now a standard for calling, like Xerox for photocopying! I use it regularly.
NegativeVery, very dated UI. It feels anachronistic. Zoom should make it better looking.

Everybody Gets It, It's Like Coke or Kleenex
5 out of 5 stars Date: Mar 24 2021SummaryEasy to use software that has just the right amount of functionality. Consistently works for a number of users and is priced just right. What more do you want when it comes to video calling?
PositiveWhen your product becomes the generic name for an activity then you know they must be doing something correctly. It's the new Google or Shazam. Going to have a meeting, yes, then lets Zoom and everyone just knows what you are talking about. And it is so easy to use. And not that expensive when you consider what just the cost of driving somewhere would be for a meeting every day let alone the cost of airfare and hotel rooms if you are in other states.
NegativeOkay, yeah there were some security issues. But, they are working on that and some government agencies still won't use it. But, that will change and what product out there doesn't have some security loopholes. The fact is they are working on it and getting better every day.

A great platform for video calls!
4 out of 5 stars Date: Aug 06 2020SummaryI would recommend Zoom to my friends as is it really convenient, easy to handle, and call your friends and families. They have been doing very well in the market and are trying to be leaders in the offers they service.
PositiveI loved the way it is designed to make lives simpler for people, a very convenient app to use even without making an account and by just using the login credentials received from the host. The application has reunited friends and family throughout the pandemic and has played a major role during the pandemic that none of us could notice.
NegativeThe free version does not allow to be used after a certain time limit for a certain call. Not as user friendly as other apps.

PositiveZoom have many features which make it well placed among the market of communication tools. Organizing and generating personalized meetings are very simple and secure with the zoom. It also provides basic tools for classroom functions like raise hands, white board, screenshare etc. The audio and video chat function and control of mic by the host works great with Zoom.
NegativeThe limit of 40 mins meeting time in one go is a big con in my view. The other drawback of zoom is it takes lot of internet bandwidth for video calling.

4 out of 5 stars Date: Sep 21 2020SummaryGreat product! So thankful to have during the COVID-19 pandemic!! Loved being able to see my friends & family regularly!
PositiveThis product saved everyone's sanity during the pandemic. Though many of us had never used this product prior to March 2020, we all became experts by the time summer began! It's great to be able to see your family, friends & colleagues .
NegativeWe've experienced connectivity issues from time to time. Also, with the free version, it often cut our meeting off in the middle of someone speaking! (However, some may consider this a "pro" because it was often times quite funny!)
