I can't do my job without Zoom
What do you like best about the product?
Zoom is very user-friendly, it does everything I need it to do. As an online teacher/tutor, there is no tool I recommend more. Parents who are skeptical about online sessions are surprised by how effective Zoom is as an educational tool. I. LOVE. ZOOM.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, Zoom is one of those rare apps that doesn't really have any downsides. It glitches every once in a while as all apps do, but I've noticed a remarkable lack of glitches since I started using Zoom a few years back. It is so intuitive, the only thing I notice is that sometimes I can't annotate on someone else's screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zoom frequently updates its program to fix glitches and improve things. The whiteboards use keyboard shortcuts and the new whiteboards are phenomenal. The new whiteboards make it easier to drag around drawings and even copy-paste problems, which is terrific.
How Did We Work or Play Without It?
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to schedule calls and make changes in a regularly scheduled series of calls. I especially like the ease with which you can share screens and highlight speakers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like a more automatic way to send calendar invites to participants. Otherwise, no negatives to report
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have worked via phone conferences for many years but it is much more satifying to be able to interact visually with my colleagues and share and edit materials on the screen
A Shining Light in a Pandemic Sea, or, "I'm a Cat"
What do you like best about the product?
As a family law attorney, the show had to go on; especially with time-sensitive cases like child welfare. Zoom allowed courts to continue.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like yoga pants, there are places where Zoom is appropriate and places where it is not. Evidence heavy trials; no. Routine hearings; yes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security was initially a serious issue; walking the line between public access to the Courts and confidentiality where needed. Zoom's work in that regard had made it possible for the Courts to use this tool even though most courtrooms are open.
Great for work!
What do you like best about the product?
Love that you can use for video calls, and screen sharing. So easy to schedule ahead of time and send out to all parties in the meeting. Also love the "Copy invite" feature to send out link to all parties!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing! This is much easier to use on all platforms than other meeting programs we have used in the past. Would continue using Zoom in the future for all virtual meetings
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zoom is allowing us to be more efficient with our time. Whenever in person meetings are not necessary, hopping on Zoom saves everyone time and keeps us safe when needing to social distance as well.
Zoom is easy, convenient, and effective for my team's needs
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use to create meetings (spot start or scheduling ahead of time), simply sharing the link with others to participate. It is ubiquitos so my audience is familiar with it and is comfortable using Zoom.
What do you dislike about the product?
The downsides of Zoom, is when internet connection is poor so sound quality and video quality decline. This seems to happen more with screen sharing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem Zoom solves is being able to communicate with a group or individual in a way that is more connective than just a phone call, but when in-person meetings are not possible. This is beneficial because as a team we continue to make progress and stay connected in a more efficient way than if we had to wait to be in person.
Never any problems
What do you like best about the product?
People of all technical abilities can use Zoom for video conferencing. Most helpful is the reliability that it will work
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be slow to load, and I almost always have low system resources...I guess this means Zoom hogs processor speed / data. So please make it use less of system resources
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Whiteboards have not been useful. Sharing screens have been very useful. Chat is very useful. I am looking forward to Zoom using less system resources
Essential for client meetings
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to lockout and secure my meeting with clients to protect their information. The waiting room allows me to ensure no unwelcome parties attend.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like the meetings to work with my CRM a bit better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My calendar is more open due to virtual meetings compared to the commute between client meetings. I can share my screen and give clients control to enter their own payment information.
A big part of my professional and social life I would not want to miss
What do you like best about the product?
It's quick and easy to use, and even people without an account can easily participate in zoom sessions. Their pricing is fair and I appreciate the privacy & access controls they have added over time.
Plus, the audio-/video quality is surprisingly good :)
Be it to connect with family & friends overseas or for work meetings, zoom has become an integral part of my routine I wouldn't want to miss

What do you dislike about the product?
Some features and settings are a little trickier / less easy to use on tablets and smart phones, so it feels like the go-to is mac/pc. It's fine for the most part, but some classes and meetings require more moving around so I'd prefer using the tablet more.
Aside from that, the main shortcoming is file sharing between desktop/laptops and mobile devices - the latter group tends to not see that a file has been shared in the chat.
For recording, i'd like to be able to have more control over who / what to record.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can easily connect with clients worldwide and they have a good idea of the final audio quality in the case of directed VO sessions.
It's generally pretty stable and easy to use, so more often than not, live recording sessions will happen with zoom.

Zoom is a great tool for virtually connecting
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to meet with folks worldwide allows me to connect face-to-face with far more individuals than in the past. I am not particularly fond of traveling as a family man and appreciate the ability to meet remotely.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm sometimes told that links I send out do not work when clicked on - perhaps because they have expired? This may be an issue on my end or the invitee's end, however.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zoom allows me to establish closer relationships with individuals that I otherwise would be limited to only engaging via email or over the phone. The face-to-face intimacy is a huge plus when it comes to networking and also helps me to cut down on the amount of travel I would otherwise need to engage in.
Hands down, the best video conferencing platform
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of the interface for scheduling, presenting, recording. Having used ALL video conferencing platforms, Zoom is hands down the best.
What do you dislike about the product?
, The only criticism I might have is readability of the meeting notices, various log-in links and passwords.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to be face-to-face with people post-pandemic in a secure and efficient manner.
