NegativeBeing of old school and 30 years of hosting business meeting in person, I was not too keen on Zoom, but after my first Zoom meeting I realized.

Better Good for Classes, Especially in Rural/Computer Limited Areas
Updated: Oct 27 2020SummaryOverall, for classes, I'd recommend it over Collaborate. Compared to Microsoft Teams, I would say the preference comes down to two factors: what devices will the majority of the students be using to connect to the meetings with and how good is the internet in the area your students are in. If your students are in rural areas with weak Wi-Fi and low computer ownership, I'd suggest Zoom over Teams. If you're in an area were computer ownership is more common and internet is better, I'd say Teams wins. Functionality wise for classes, Teams also offers more than Zoom, as it goes well beyond just being good for meetings. So, even for rural areas, I'd recommend Teams or Slack alongside Zoom to store powerpoints, class notes, and other educational material. I'd recommend it, and I'd suggest having staff who will be using it play around with it for a day or two doing practice meetings before using it for a real class session to get the hang of it. There is a bit of a learning curve.
PositiveYou can easily set up a meeting for business or a class. Screen sharing is easy, and works well on PC and phones. This was a big deal for our group of students, as many were from rural areas who didn't have computers at home and could only access the internet through their phone's data plan. We experienced no disconnections through Zoom during any of our meetings, which was not the case for Microsoft Teams and Collaborate, the latter of which I would describe as light-years below the functionality of Zoom. Free meetings are long enough to get the job done if you're on a budget, and I'd say, if you think you need this, the pay option will likely be worth it for you.
NegativeInterface took a while to get used to. This was the main issue experienced. It didn't take long to sort it out. It's a matter of just playing around with it to get a feel for how it works. Not a huge negative, but when Teams is connected, I think it works better, but this will vary heavily depending on device and internet coverage. It's great for meetings, but other meeting software out there offers more features than Zoom does.

Best Video Meeting Software
Date: Aug 08 2020SummaryZoom is the best video meeting software out there. Extremely reliable and user friendly. Love the integrations it has with Gsuite and MixMax. There is a cost to having meetings over 45 minutes but meetings should be shorter than that anyway :)

For all of your call and meeting needs
Date: Jul 17 2020SummaryZoom Meetings is super easy to use and has a lot of great features. You can call in from a phone/tablet or a computer, making it easy to use on the go. Screen sharing, recording and the ability to mute attendees are great features as well.
PositiveUser friendly, great chat feature, clear audio (and video if applicable) quality, muting people, ability to record the call, screen sharing.
NegativeChat is great, however, if you're private messaging someone, it shows up in the same chat window as all other chats. Should open a new window/frame, as it gets confusing who you're talking to.

Great for Internal team meetings and External too
Date: Apr 06 2020SummaryZoom has become part of everyday life with all that is going on in the world. More people need a way to get in touch with groups and feel part of a team when we are all so physically divided. Being device agnostic makes them perfectly poised to fill the need!
PositiveEasy to set up a meeting and even easier to join one. Requires very little experience, I know people with almost no computer knowledge who can still figure out how to join a meeting.
NegativeHave to pay for the premium features but they don't limit you that much.

Good, but could be better.
Date: Jun 22 2020SummaryZoom has quickly become somewhat of an industry standard. It's easy to use, has many features, and is pretty affordable. However, some UI tweaks could make it much better.
PositiveThe video quality is acceptable, and I rarely experience dropouts or freezes. There are also plenty of features available such as screensharing to make presentations more effective.
NegativeThe process of joining meetings is quite clunky. There's more downloading and clicking than should be necessary. The power of modern web browsers should be leveraged. A good example of this would be Google Meet.

Also signing out is more difficult than it should be. If I close the app, simply sign me out. Make those a single step and I'd be happy.
