It just works better
What do you like best about the product?
Consistency of the platform. Video quality is always good - the mouth matches the audio. It is the "kleenex" of the online meeting world.
What do you dislike about the product?
1) That you're not in person with someone. 2) it gets overwhelming when there are too many people on a zoom meeting. Sometimes people use it when they should be using a different webinar product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Initially, Zoom solved more problems than now. During the pandemic, it was vital for productivity. Other products have started to catch up that are built into other software we use (Teams). However, outside of internal meetings, we all prefer Zoom.
Zoom is super easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it is to schedule meetings, add people to a meeting in session, share screens and mark them up, chat, and so much more!
What do you dislike about the product?
The only difficulty I've ever had is someone saying the Zoom link I sent isn't working, and I have to send them a new one. I often suspect it's user error though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It enables me to meet with clients and team members remotely to talk and review projects. Meeting remotely saves us travel time and expense, and reduces risks associated with meeting in person (like exposure to pandemics).
Loooove Zoom-ing!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Zoom is so easy to use. We have some technologically savvy people on our team and those that aren't as much savvy. It seems everyone can use it with ease.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Zoom had the ability to take notes for a meeting and send them out to participants directly after the call, or some one-click solution for this type of communication.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zoom solves the problem of missing being in an office. We work from home and being able to Zoom eases the difficulty of getting to know people, finding answers to questions and keeping in touch on projects.
Easy to use teaching platform.
What do you like best about the product?
Use of my pictures and video while teaching. Ability to share with students.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not easily being able to create a background. Have to use either green screen or set up a room.
Students don't always have easy access when their internet speeds are low.
Technical issues that I can't easily fix during a teaching session.
Need for students to have to create a Zoom account (according to them)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being in an isolated section of Maine and being able to train students across the US. That is a benefit.
Well known and used program so it appears that I am current as opposed to backward.
In general access to the Zoom platform across different electronic devices is a benefit.

Reliable and continuously being improved
What do you like best about the product?
Zoom is reliable and continuously improved. I also like that I can use two cameras at the same time. It is relatively easy to send people an invitation that they can automatically add to their calendars. It is also easy to update a scheduled meeting if there is a need for a change. Because I use videos in my online lectures, video and audio must be transmitted correctly, which Zoom does well. I also like that third party apps are integrated.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the preferences menu can be made more user-friendly. The Zoom whiteboard is rather rudimentary and can be vastly improved. For example, it should not be necessary to have to send each participant a link. I should be able to define a whiteboard that offers immediate access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To work with clients in my somatic coaching work, I need to be able to see them with great clarity. I can use two screens and two cameras for maximum flexibility for my online leadership workshops.
Zoom is THE Best Platform for Teaching and Sharing
What do you like best about the product?
East of use and recording options, the ability to quickly share classroom recordings with students. I love the screen-sharing options and break-out rooms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of space upgrade for recordings, I think it would benefit zoom and users with an option to upgrade storage capacity at any level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I teach in a Spiritual NPO, Zoom allows me to connect to all my paritioners, students, teachers, and fellow ministers to create unique learning environments
Zoom easily connects me to everyone both personally and professionally!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is Zoom being user-friendly. Other platforms have too many steps and can get a little frustrating to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Zoom would work with Instagram to be able to stream live like you can with Facebook and YouTube. It would make branding and connectivity that much better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zoom solves the issue of taking the guesswork out of using a virtual meeting platform. It also continues to safeguard private zooms which is appreciated by nonprofits who may support culturally sensitive missions.
A versatile platform for meeting needs
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the features allow me to do what I need to do for my meetings. I love the breakout feature and the ability to customize settings for each meeting that I am in.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that Zoom is trying to track its participants. For this reason, we aren't allowed to use Zoom at work, so we have to use different platforms or meet in person.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to meet with my staff at different locations without having to travel from site to site. It also allows for more flexibility in meetings with people on the spot. Before hand, we would have to arrange for meetings or settle for a phone call which doesn't always get the point across.
Use for meetings and livestream
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use - if you provide the links then even people with minimal technical skills can participate. It has good stability. I've used several other hosting programs that are very inconsistent and don't have the same features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The sound is a little wonky on Livestream when using instruments (piano, keyboard, organ). Human voice works just fine, it's the instruments (and I guess the singing that cause issues with the sound). I know there is the option to use original sound but I don't know which works better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helpful for having a secure/safe environment to logon - people can share in the chat and it is not public. It's a great way to host meetings without being physically together and keep people connected.
Zoom into Better Coaching/Consulting Options
What do you like best about the product?
When meeting new clients, it's almost as good as being in person. Infallible thus far - sound and video quality are consistent!
What do you dislike about the product?
When inviting someone to a meeting, the invites are unattractive and long. Would love to personalize this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can coach my clients via Zoom with an easy invite, set-up of session regardless of where they are. And the learning curve thus fr hasn't been steep.
