Zoom Reviews

Pros

Everything about it has been excellent for me from the video quality and chat feature to the AI companions, recording options, webinar tools, breakout rooms. Bascially the platform as a whole :)

Cons

I do not have any real complaints. The only slight setback is that the free version limits meetings to 40 minutes but I understand they need a way to monetize the product.

Pros

Managing everything feels accessible once you begin using it. Since I first started, there have been plenty of updates and those are definitely noticeable.

Cons

The part I don't like is that there's a fully paid version. I remember when students could use it for free but now it's gone back to being a subscription-based service.

Pros

Being able to connect face to face with employees I needed to speak with has been really valuable especially when meeting in person wasn't possible.

Cons

The only downside is that it feels a bit too expensive to keep and maintain.

Pros

Being able to customize my background and make it more fun during client calls is something I really enjoy.

Cons

It isn't always HIPAA-compliant and it can be glitchy more often than I'd like.

Pros

Getting new people started on the platform is really easy and the overall system is very simple to use.

Cons

I'd still like to have the ability to run multiple meetings at the same time.

Pros

Setting up meetings for several people is easy and the recording feature works without any trouble.

Cons

There are occasional glitches although that may be tied to the internet connection depending on where in the building we're having the meetings.

Pros

It's a really convenient platform for meetings and virtual group events and it works well for staying connected with teams and larger audiences.

Cons

One thing that gets annoying is that updates sometimes pop up at inconvenient times.

Pros

With our agency working fully remote and spread across the US, this has become the main way we stay connected. It covers everything in one place (video meetings, calls and messaging) making it simple to communicate with anyone from anywhere, as long as the internet connection is strong.

Cons

One thing that gets in the way is the screen-sharing toolbar placement. Since it sits at the top of the screen, it can be awkward and sometimes blocks access when trying to figure out tabs located along the top.

Pros

Really stands out for how simple it makes communication and teamwork especially because the interface is so easy and user friendly.

Cons

A small downside is that some settings have to be adjusted to improve call quality. For instance, HD video is not enabled by default so you need to manually change the video settings to get better quality.

Pros

Joining meetings is convenient and the audio and video quality stay clear throughout.

Cons

At times, getting into a meeting takes longer than it should and that delay can be annoying.

Pros

Keeping in touch with coworkers over long distances is really convenient and video meetings make it simple to connect and collaborate.

Cons

There are times when our meetings run past the time limit so we have to send out a new link and have everyone join again.

Pros

Using it feels very accessible and user friendly overall.

Cons

Initial setup can sometimes be a bit confusing at first.

Pros

This has been a really good experience because it runs reliably across all my devices. The audio and video quality are excellent and the screen sharing feels much more accessible than it does in other similar apps.

Cons

One thing I haven't been able to do is record a presentation without including the participants, at least not in my case. Also, the recording editing tools don't feel very accessible and would be better if they were simpler to use.

Pros

Very simple to use and that's the part I appreciate most. It makes communication clear, effective and efficient without much effort.

Cons

The interface could use some improvement and I still think Microsoft Teams has a better overall layout.

Pros

As one of the original video conferencing platforms, this has an interface and overall feel that most people are already comfortable using without much trouble.

Cons

There's still the usual delay from technical hiccups, often caused by user mistakes or by how screen sharing looks different across various devices and hardware.

Pros

Lets me hold visits between clients and providers without any trouble which has been really useful.

Cons

The connection quality can be inconsistent sometimes and the reception is not always very good.

Pros

Having control over what students can access is one of the things I appreciate most. For instance, with the chat feature, I can decide whether students are allowed to message everyone, only the host or no one at all.

Cons

I work with two monitors and at times it opens on the screen I do not want it on. There are also moments when I share my screen and can no longer see my students because the app automatically minimizes the window.

Pros

Works really well for meetings with external organizations and for hosting training webinars. The AI tools and recording features are two things I really appreciate.

Cons

I don't have any complaints about the platform. It's very user friendly.

Pros

It helps me stay connected with my team while working remotely.

Cons

There's not much to complain about. Up to this point, it's been really good.

Pros

Getting started it was very easy. The meeting setup and video quality settings are simple to manage which makes communication feel smooth.

Cons

I really don't have any complaints about it; it works very well.
