    Date: Dec 05 2023
    Summary

    We always use Zoom for meetings, it is easy to use, very user-friendly and reliable. The video and audio quality is honestly better than Google Meets, and I love using virtual backgrounds:) Screen sharing is also a very useful feature. The only disadvantage is that the free version cuts you off at 40 minutes, but I understand that there should be limitations for free versions. Overall I enjoy using Zoom.

    - The calls are stable even with a large number of participants.
    - The interface is clean and does not feel cluttered in use.
    - The premium account gives a lot of exclusive features to improve productivity and overall user experience but even the free version is sufficient for basic meetings.

    Very good performance for holding meetings with a large volume of participants.

    Date: Mar 02 2023
    Summary

    Zoom has earned my trust and very little time, I have been using this platform for about two and a half years as the main measure to connect in the form of a meeting with my employees, this platform has been incredible since I have been able to connect with an unlimited number of employees, In addition, I can have a fluent conversation with them without any interruption, I can enjoy an annotation system, which allows me to write down things on the screen that is being transmitted in each meeting, in a way, it also provides me with a system that allows me to use all the monitors available on my computer, in order to show much more extensive information to the participants. In conclusion, the experience that I developed within this platform was completely satisfactory, I was able to quickly connect with my employees, I was able to send all the invitations to my employees in a very simple way, since it was only necessary to register as employee contacts to send a single invitation to all employees at the push of a button. Zoom has made it possible for us to hold online meetings without having to do it physically, in addition, the communication within this platform in each meeting was not interrupted and was always fluid and in real time, which allowed us to send messages at each meeting. I was fascinated with the great video quality that is enjoyed within this platform, even when I have low Internet connectivity, the platform automatically lowers the quality a bit so that the flow of each transmission during the meeting is never interrupted, that was fantastic.

    Positive

    Zoom is a service that undoubtedly helps to expand the communication of any company, in addition, this platform can also be used for personal objectives, since it is an open communication platform that will always allow you to integrate into any type of meeting. I really liked the great video quality that I was able to enjoy within this platform, also the audio transmission is totally stable and with a very good quality, this helps to have a good performance during each meeting, also, if you have joined a meeting as a participant, you can also enjoy an unbeatable video quality so that you can correctly visualize everything that happens within this meeting, it is important to highlight that the video quality that you configure for each meeting that you are creating will not affect the speed as much general of your Internet connection, since this platform does not consume so much Internet resources, which helps you to enjoy a meeting with all your participants without worrying about Internet connectivity or high consumption. Zoom has different plans that offer a variety in the number of limit participants that can enter each meeting, you can choose your needs, in addition, Zoom allows you to interact with each of the participants, you can speak directly through the Chat of that meeting or send a message direct to a specific participant, you can also enjoy action where you can communicate with all the hosts, sponsors and collaborators of your meeting, to have a much more private conversation with each one of them. Zoom offers an incredible mobile phone application, which also allows you to have an impressive connection for all kinds of meetings, I was really fascinated with the effectiveness of this platform for Internet meetings.

    Negative

    One of the problems that can be found within this platform is that the entry system through the invitation link does not work correctly, since it allows the entry of anyone who uses that link, this has caused problems, since sometimes doing a meetings of our company and meetings to affect the conversation we have, I would love that the invitation system is via email link, nothing else works for the employees in a specific way in this company, and that it cannot be used in any other way company person or who does not have to participate in the meeting, that would help me a lot to avoid the entry of malicious people to my meetings.

    Most reliable option for video calls within teams.

    Date: Mar 23 2023
    Summary

    Zoom offers me a high-value performance which has allowed me, thanks to its features, to have a great application for meetings that is more solid and complete at hand without being difficult to use, therefore, I have been able to connect with others without there being a wall learning process, but simply create a room where others easily enter and are already in the meeting.

    The complete security was what allowed me to adapt to Zoom more easily since the controls in the seminars and meetings are too simple that anyone can take control of the room with a couple of clicks and you will have everything ready in which Only invited guests can join video calls without being interrupted by pesky intruders.

    Zoom has improved communication with clients and with my work team as it is a flexible platform that is easily accessible to everyone, so using this platform as the main means of having virtual meetings has been one of the best tools I have ever had. for my work use. In addition, the audio and image quality that this platform has means that I can connect with others without having practically no loss in communication when having important conversations such as establishing agreements with clients or having an important internal meeting at work where discuss critical points.

    Positive

    The performance in meetings was why I loved this platform since the audio or video quality is great unlike many other platforms or applications for video calls and webinars. This platform is both personal and team focused, so it won't be too hard to find the most suitable features of Zoom. It is very rarely that it has a failure in relation to the audio quality which is heard as if it were an old radio, but as I am mentioning it is very rare, especially when I do not have a good connection. However, Zoom prioritizes audio over video even though a poor connection may deficient video calls, so there may be image freeze so audio doesn't lose quality unless the internet connection is up. so bad that you can't even prioritize the audio.

    Zoom has a friendly interface, easy and intuitive to use, it will not require much effort to join a meeting or organize one, so in a few clicks you can access the meetings. The meeting configuration is very complete to have more security and control in the meetings created with Zoom, this being that the user has the ability to have all the privacy in terms of private video calls one on one and also group meetings, simply you have better control when it comes to hosting meeting rooms created on Zoom.

    Two other last things that for me have a very good weight when making decisions when purchasing a subscription to a platform and are their well-structured plans and customer service. On the one hand, Zoom has generous plans that are very well suited to the needs in which they have when having a meeting with others, it does not matter if this platform will be used for personal or commercial purposes since the plans that they have are adapt very well to the characteristics of each user or work group. On the other hand, customer service is very attentive to what the user is needing, I was able to have direct contact both by call and by live chat with agents who could provide me with help beyond the online resources offered by zoom such such as FAQs, blogs, tutorials, etc. These two things have allowed me to evaluate part of the efficiency that Zoom has and I have also been able to compare and verify that the plans they offer together with the quality of the meetings and the price all together have allowed me to conclude that Zoom is worth worth it for the solution of meetings in work groups and also in a personal way for calls or video calls with others.

    Negative

    For those who plan to use this platform for free, it is necessary to analyze the little variety it offers and that certain features are also limited, so Zoom is not the most recommended for professional environments if you want to be able to use this platform to connect with a large number of people. of people and with a long video meeting. With this I do not mean that meetings with a work team cannot be held, but group meetings will not last more than 40 minutes and that there will be no security configuration for the meetings, which must be kept in mind that there are no intruders in the meetings. Therefore, I only recommend it for testing before purchasing a subscription or just for holding meetings that are not important or that do not require further configuration and security.

    Another thing regarding the Zoom plans is that it requires a minimum of licenses to be able to opt for the Business plan, since otherwise you will not be able to purchase certain configurations, this being a limit for small businesses that require business solutions but do not need to pay for them. a large number of licenses which are not fully used, so they should allow users to choose the minimum number of one (1) license for the business version in order to enjoy certain features that are not available in the Pro version .

    I have no negative points that are strong or that make it impossible to use Zoom, otherwise, I am rather encouraging you to evaluate certain aspects of this platform before purchasing a subscription or simply using its free version in case it meets your needs. basics as a team or as an individual user. In another case, if you need to expand to more features, you have to evaluate which plan is feasible and if it covers all the needs, in addition to what other features it offers in addition to those that already need to be covered.

    Very complete video conferencing platform for customers and employees.

    Date: Mar 28 2023
    Summary

    Zoom has earned my trust since I started using it, it is a platform that has been shown to have great quality when it comes to connecting via video conference with a large group of participants, one of the things that I notice impressively is that this platform has a quite extensive limit on the number of participants that I can insert in each video conference, in addition, this platform allows me to add hosts, collaborators and organizers, who help me manage the video conference as a whole. I was really satisfied with the utility that this platform represented for our financial company, since we have been able to connect to a larger group of clients and we have been able to interact constantly, we have shared all kinds of ideas, we have made various business proposals and also We have used this platform to interact with our employees, since every time we need to hold meetings with a specific group of employees, we can send them the invitation via Zoom and connect with them via video conference in just a few steps. In conclusion, I am very satisfied with this video conferencing platform, it is very complete.

    Positive

    Zoom has earned my trust because of the modality in which it allows me to connect directly with any person or with any work group. This platform has made me join any type of video conference or video call, it has allowed me to create a video conference from scratch or plan them . Some of the things I liked the most were:

    1- This platform offers Laura a great quality of connecting to each video conference, the quality is one of the things that has most captured my attention, the video quality exceeds the quality obtained on any other video conference platform, this quality helps me a lot to be able to connect and interact correctly with each of the participants of a videoconference, also, if I am making a videoconference and I am the only one with the camera on, the participants of my videoconference will be able to visualize me correctly.

    2- I really liked the Chat system that is incorporated into each videoconference, since the system allows us to interact while having a videoconference, each of the participants can write any type of message in this Chat and interact with each of the participants, this Chat allows us to share ideas, hold discussions, receive opinions and much more.

    3- I really liked the annotation and whiteboard system that this platform has, since this annotation system allows me to write things down on the video conference screen and the participants can view that information, I make the annotations on the screen and these annotations can be viewed by all participants in real time.

    4- I really liked the way in which this platform automatically records each of the videoconference sessions that I have made, in addition, all these recordings can be stored within the Zoom cloud, since it has a fairly large amount of storage space extensive, which allows you to store a large number of videoconference sessions so that you can have them safely stored and you can access them quickly. These recordings are made completely, they are capable of recording the interactions that occur within the videoconference Chat.

    5- I also liked the polling and voting system that is built into this platform, as this allows me to create polls or polls and send them to the participants to get opinions or get a percentage of opinions quite quickly, I can create a poll or a vote and I can receive opinions in a predetermined amount of time.

    Negative

    The features that can be improved within this platform are:

    1- When you decide to share a screen with the participants of a videoconference, you will not be able to configure which screen or monitor you want to share with the audience, this is quite negative since if you have more than three or two monitors connected to your computer, and you want to share information specific that is located inside a monitor, you will not be able to do it in a specific way, you will have to share all your monitors completely.

    2- Another negative aspect is that this platform is not easy to use at all, you have to carry out a series of previous configurations before making a videoconference and configure the audience, since you will have to configure the quality, audio configuration, configuration the limit of participants and you will also have to create a personalized invitation for your participants, for which, I consider that in general, this platform is not easy to use.

    3- There is a limit on the number of files that you can send simultaneously through the live Chat of the videoconference, in addition, you will also have limits on the amount of total weight of the files that you send through this Chat, this is quite negative since it limits the amount of information you can share with the participants of your video conference.

    Essential But Expensive!

    Date: Nov 11 2023
    Summary

    Overall, Zoom fulfils all the requirement and checks all boxes for a good video conferencing application but with a big dent on the wallet. If they improve their pricing it is hands down the best meeting application.

    Positive

    - The user interface is quite good and easy to get started for someone who hasn't used any video conferencing tool.
    - It provides free meeting upto 40 minutes.
    - It has Smooth user interface across all platforms.
    - It has better third party integration than any other meeting or video conferencing application.

    Negative

    - The subscription cost is quite high especially if you are an individual or a freelancer.
    - There is no way to but only one license, it comes as a bundle of minimum 10 licenses, which is not needed for individual or freelancer, because, 1 license allow upto 100 participants which more than enough for a freelancer or small organisation. So, all in all the subscription model is better suited for medium to large organisations and there is not subscription model available which focuses on small organisations.
    - The blur background does not work well with average webcams, not everyone has a dedicated camera for video meetings.

    The best tool for remote meetings.

    Date: Apr 29 2023
    Summary

    Zoom allows me to work remotely by being able to create virtual meetings without necessarily having to go to a specific point to raise points within my work environment. With this platform, I can stay connected with my work team through video conferences and in addition to being able to record the meetings to review the points discussed in more detail and be able to refresh everything that has been discussed.

    For me, this platform is very easy to use and that is why it has been the best option in terms of price and practicality when it comes to having a space to hold remote meetings. This has had benefits for me and my entire work team because it does not It is necessary to move from one point to another to hold a meeting, which is also useful outside of working hours for emergencies where important points have to be touched on, which cannot wait for the time or date of work to arrive, but instead They are simply impromptu meetings, so Zoom is very important in those cases.

    Positive

    It doesn't surprise me why the vast majority of people I know use this platform both at the business level, as well as to communicate with others outside of work, including in schools and universities, because the ease of use of this platform makes it It's easy to join a meeting without extensive setup, and it's easy to host and manage meetings without any hassle. This platform is so intuitive that no prior training is required to use Zoom, whether you are a new user or an experienced person, this platform will not require much effort to understand all the tools available for holding online meetings. In addition to the fact that it has excellent integration with a large number of platforms, personally, all the platforms that I use in my day to day can be integrated with Zoom without any problem.

    It is very flexible for any user; this platform allows it to be used for free and the limitations are not so exaggerated that they force the user to continue using it through a large paywall. For this reason, I recommend Zoom for anyone who wants to communicate with their work team, the team is not very large, and the video calls do not last more than 40 minutes, in any case that the call time is exceeded, you can redo another one without any inconvenience. Of course, advanced functions such as recording calls are lost, but depending on the needs of each person or company, it can be adapted to any plan available on this platform. For everything else and with the basic functions that this platform offers, it can be used without any problem both in personal and team conversations without the obligation of having to upgrade to a premium version.

    The video and audio quality seems quite decent compared to other video call platforms, this being exceptional to maintain clear communication with my work team. I've even tested Zoom with a poor internet connection, and I've been surprised at how it handles video quality, trying to be as detailed as possible. But what I liked the most was that despite having an unstable internet connection, Zoom prioritized audio over everything else, meaning that even though the video might freeze, I can clearly hear what the host is saying without missing any of the details. . It also has features in which the audio can be manipulated to obtain better quality, such as noise cancellation or background sound, as well as visual filters that have allowed me to have a better experience in video calls.

    The ability to record is very complete, it gives me the facility to have videos of the meetings with their respective transcripts which allow me to review them later or share them with others who could not be present in a meeting. Within my work environment, this function is very important since I generally carry out personal training sessions that help me to share regularly with other workers and thus not have to give the same training sessions over and over again but can simply watch a pre-recorded video meeting on where most frequently asked questions were answered. Another advantage, as I already mentioned, is being able to share the meetings with others so that you can be up to date and not miss out on anything that has been discussed.

    Negative

    As I have already mentioned, this platform can be used for free, however, there are limits when it comes to wanting to enjoy certain features. Like, for example, the meetings are limited by an established time that this platform has already set, so although the time of the calls is not very short, it can be a bit annoying to have to send a link for a meeting again every 40 minutes, nothing like the convenience of scheduling a meeting and having it last as long as it takes without having to go through the process of creating a meeting and inviting members all over again. Another feature that is lost when using Zoom for free is that you cannot make recordings in the cloud or generate personalized reports, this being very important for each company since it is necessary to have a complete follow-up of each meeting to stay up to date.

    Not all Zoom features on the desktop version are available on the mobile version, so it can cause problems when managing a meeting via smartphone. So if portability is required when creating a meeting through a mobile device, there will be limits, for example, you will not be able to use the whiteboard since it would be very difficult to handle on a screen as small as it is in the mobile devices, it will also be awkward to interact with many participants because they will look very small, which is not the case with the desktop version in which the screen is already reasonable to notice the participants.

    Used everyday for work

    Date: Feb 01 2022
    Summary

    Love the software and how easy it is to allow people to join whenever they need to. Our entire org runs nearly virtual due to Zoom.

    Positive

    I use Zoom for scheduling interviews and it is wonderful. The whiteboard feature comes in handy and it allows me to give a unique meeting ID to all of the interview rooms. Love that candidates don't have to have a Zoom login to use the platform.

    Negative

    Not really much to not like, it is sleek and easy to use.

    A Happy Zoomer

    Date: Jan 28 2022
    Summary

    We switched to Zoom from a similar platform during the pandemic, and I have found it to be affordable, easy to use, and extremely helpful for both internal and external meeting.

    Positive

    For me, a big plus of zoom is how easy it is to use, and how simple it is for people to join meetings even if they don't have a zoom account. The recording function also makes it easy to have a record of the meeting that is effortlessly saved in the cloud.

    Negative

    No real complaints, I have found it very easy to use with lots of different options to meet my needs.
