Zoom Reviews

Pros

Scheduling webinars and training sessions has been really easy which has made staying organized a lot easier.

Cons

Nothing to complain about at this point. The platform actually offers more features than I'm even using right now.

Pros

The video and audio quality are really strong, with fewer interruptions during meetings. Screen sharing works well for collaboration and breakout rooms are especially helpful for making meetings more organized, efficient and productive. It's also simple to join and access when needed.

Cons

There are times when network problems come up and meetings with a lot of participants can run into connection issues. The free version also comes with limited features and time restrictions for each meeting. On top of that it can use a lot of data which becomes a downside for anyone relying on personal mobile data.

Pros

It's really convenient for virtual meetings whether it's for work, homeschooling, tutoring, counselling or interviews.

Cons

I honestly have nothing to complain about--there's nothing negative to mention. It's excellent software for running meetings virtually.

Pros

Using it on both mobile and desktop feels easy and the platform is simple to figure out on either one.

Cons

The app version makes chatting and adding notes more difficult than it is on the desktop version.

Pros

Using the app feels pretty engaging and I genuinely enjoy it for regular school sessions and work meetings.

Cons

It can be a bit slow at times although that may be related to how many people are in the call. I think it would be a lot better without that lag but it could also be caused by the internet connection.

Pros

One of the best things about using it is being able to bring large groups of people together virtually.

Cons

The part I like least is that the connection quality can be lacking.

Pros

It was practical to use and everyone on my team already had at least some idea of how it worked.

Cons

It could be a little complicated for people who had never used the platform before.

Pros

I'm on it every day for my job and with more than 1000 people at our company, it handles our needs really well. At the same time it's simple enough for non-business users too. During Covid, my entire family signed up and people of all ages and comfort levels with technology were able to join and stay connected without much trouble.

Cons

One limitation is that I can't send attachments in the meeting chat like a screenshot. Also, when I'm speaking with someone who's more used to Teams, Google Hangouts or another platform, it can take them a moment to locate options like mute/unmute or screen sharing since the menu disappears.

Pros

After a few months of using the platform, it has really improved the way I handle remote work. The video and audio stay reliably clear even when the internet connection is unstable. Screen sharing during team brainstorming is especially helpful and it genuinely makes it feel like everyone is together in one room. Getting started it is also very simple even for beginners.

Cons

I haven't run into any problems it.

Pros

It has become a universal tool that pretty much everyone uses now and for the most part it's user friendly.

Cons

The pricing has gone up compared with competitors like Google Meet and it still doesn't offer 1080p video.

Pros

Joining meetings is convenient since I can get in from pretty much any device, either through the app or just using a browser. The whiteboard feature is also a really useful addition.

Cons

It does take up a noticeable amount of space on my MacBook and the free plan also comes with restrictions on how many participants can join.

Pros

Even with a lot of participants, it stays stable. The interface feels very accessible and it worked without any issues on every device I tested.

Cons

Up to this point, I haven't come across any negative aspects.

Pros

Being able to see several people on screen at the same time is really useful and the video quality has been consistently good.

Cons

Using it on mobile devices can be frustrating because visibility isn't as good there.

Pros

It works especially well for webinars and video conferencing.

Cons

It's a bit more expensive than some alternatives and the free plan comes with pretty serious limitations.

Pros

Back in 2016, I began using it while working in the banking sector and it has been a dependable way to host, schedule and join online meetings from virtually anywhere on any internet-connected device.

Cons

I use it every day and I rarely run into any real challenges with it.

Pros

Works well enough for meetings but sharing a recording with audio during screen share takes several steps and can be pretty frustrating to get working correctly.

Cons

The customer support from them has been the worst I've dealt with in any software app. We ran into an issue setting up 'Zoom Phone' on a monthly plan because it kept forcing the annual option and it took them more than a month to sort it out. After all that, the response was basically just an apology for the inconvenience and nothing more. Now I'm dealing with another support ticket and after a week, the person who replied clearly hadn't even read my question and just sent back an automated response. The support has been absolutely terrible.

Pros

It has been a really valuable tool for my work. One of the biggest benefits is how simple it is to set up and join meetings which makes the whole experience feel exciting.

Cons

At times, there are connection problems that affect the quality of the audio and video.

Pros

After trying quite a few different video calling platforms, this stands out to me for having some of the strongest features and it performs really reliably overall.

Cons

The calling itself works very well but a few settings don't feel as accessiblely placed as they are on other platforms. I've ended up starting calls with the camera on or off without realizing it and then had to fix things like the background settings afterward.

Pros

Using this software feels very easy. The screen layout is clear, simple to follow and easy to move around in. On top of that, the audio and video quality are both consistently very good.

Cons

Every now and then, it runs into connection problems, with the screen glitching or slowing down. That said, it does not happen very often.

Pros

Working remotely for quite some time has made it a regular part of my daily routine. I enjoy using it because the platform offers plenty of useful features, it's easy to figure out and the meeting quality is consistently solid. Even when I'm in the office, the meeting rooms are set up it software and the experience there is just as pleasant.

Cons

One thing I'd love to see changed is the ability to enable meeting transcripts without sending a notification to everyone in the meeting.
