Zoom is a lifesaver
Date: Feb 18 2021SummaryZoom has really helped me stay in touch both personally and professionally during the pandemic. It's opened doors of communication that I will incorporate even when we go back to "normal". It makes telecommuting open to everyone and that has been a great blessing!
PositiveZoom is easy to use and easy to install. As a small business I don't have an IT department behind me to make sure things work. I love that I can just log on and have quick meetings were face to face is important. Even in my area where internet coverage can be spotty it is very dependable. I have even had virtual baby showers and family reunions using Zoom!
NegativeI don't have anything that doesn't work. All of my experiences have been positive.

The Premier Teleconferencing Platform
Date: Jan 08 2021SummaryOverall, Zoom is a household name for a reason - it’s the premier teleconferencing platform of the “new normal” era. Though competition in this field has been stiff since the pandemic broke out, Zoom’s minimal set up, ease of use, and revamped security features set it apart from other platforms.
PositiveVery intuitive user interface. Setting up meetings is a breeze, and functions such as screen share, live chat, etc. are simple to use. Plenty of security and host features to allow enterprises to take full control of their meetings.
NegativeVery few cons come to mind. It perhaps lacks some of the seamless integration a major competitor has with its teleconferencing platform and its suite of office applications, but Zoom more than makes up for this with its superior user interface.

Perfect Video Conferencing Solution
Date: Sep 04 2021SummaryOverall, Zoom is perfect solution for any video conferencing need, ranging from webinars to personal meets.

Indispensable Software for the modern age
Date: Aug 26 2021SummaryAmazing software that is very necessary in the modern age. Even with just being spread out, it allows people on our board to meet across distances that normally wouldn't be simple. And while phone calls can happen, seeing people's face is a wonderful return to some form of normalcy. Zoom helps facilitate that.
PositiveRunning a small business and a nonprofit is difficult in ordinary times, and exceptionally difficult in a pandemic. Zoom has allowed me to coordinate with people and continue meetings as though nothing has changed over the last year and a half from logistics point of view. Working with passionate people who want to stay safe is allowed to bridge those two competing objectives and zoom makes that possible.
NegativeI wish there were more free options for NPO size. It doesn't make sense for us to pay for an account when we meet every other month, but we do not fall under the maximum size of a free account

A good option but requires good internet to function.
Date: Apr 04 2021SummaryOverall, It is a considerable option for video calling meetings and seminars. The customer support is also good with less response time.
Positive- The user interface of the software is smooth and responsive.
- All the functions and features work properly without any lags.

Zoom is the ideal service to keep interacting in a group
Date: Apr 22 2021SummarySomething that Zoom Meetings manages to do very well, is to facilitate the recording of our sessions, where we can invite as many people as the plan we got (the basic one) allows us, so the interactions in each session are varied, and generally positive in terms of length. We like that the split-screen scheduling feature allows us to do simultaneous operations and show them to the others.
PositiveIn situations like the current pandemic caused by covid-19, software like zoom meetings becomes essential to keep the team working in sync. The reach we can get with this platform is very high, since we can have many members within our screen sharing rooms, and we can create private conversations.
NegativeThe zoom platform tends to randomly terminate conferences if there is no stable internet connection, instead of leaving them on hold indefinitely in case it is fixed. In addition to this the video image can freeze, and there can be sound dropouts, so it is important to check the chat room settings before each meeting.
