Zoom is a lifesaver
5 out of 5 stars 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
5 out of 5 stars 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.

Indispensable Software for the modern age
5 out of 5 stars 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
