Started with Zoom during Covid, and have stayed since
What do you like best about the product?
I find it very easy to use and it is easily accessible for people I am working with to use as well. For classes, I like that I can see all 25 or 30 students as opposed to other platforms. I also like features like the white board and being able to control how my students experience the Zoom class.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have had a lot of problems with trying to pre-establish groups. I am a teacher who uses flexible grouping in my classes, so even within the same class session, I may not put students into the same groups, let alone across multiple class sessions. I have never been able to make the pre-established groups work and always end up having to take time out of class to place students where I want them. I do wish this were more reliable and more flexible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With COVID, everything moved online, however I continue to teach in degree programs that are 100% online so Zoom helps me to continue to work in my job (University of SC) even though I moved to Texas. When I told my department chair I would be moving, she asked if I could still do my job virtually. I said, yes, largely because I relied on Zoom to help me deliver synchronous classes and provide office hours to students. I am entering my third year as a completely virtual instructor 1200 miles from my employment site.
Zoom makes our webinars professional
What do you like best about the product?
With Zoom, we can host webinars for large audiences. They are professional and I love the various webinar features such as Q&A. I have never used a competitior so I can't say if Zoom is better or not.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have many webinar hosts who log into our company Zoom account to run our webinars. This creates issues including needing a code to get into Zoom, which is sent to our owner's email. I have no idea how to rectify this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting people without needing to be in person for meetings and webinars. Zoom helped our company expand across the United States and reach audiences that otherwise we would have never reached.
Incredibly Fluid Video/Voice, Fundamental Customer Service
What do you like best about the product?
I'm incredibly impressed by how solid the video quality is and how well the sound syncs up. Compared to other video-conferencing software I've used in the past, the rest pale in comparison. Besides this, their CSRs are knowledgeable and lovely to work with.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I've used this program in the past, it was often paired with OBS to run streams. I wish the pairing of the two was more seamless, or at the least had a built-in way to easily make stable video frames that weren't difficult to manage while live on-air, especially when other participants drop from a call.
I understand that this may be a non-gripe though, as it is about interacting with another service. On its own, bare basics, Zoom has few to nil problems.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zoom has a solid reputation for maintaining a call and its quality overall. With other services, the call can be bogged down by online traffic or other hazards. But with Zoom, I feel like those hiccups are kept to a minimum.
Very valuable Tool for business communication
What do you like best about the product?
I like the level of interaction that I get seeing someone rather than just hearing their voice. The screen sharing setting is super easy and lets me share presentations easily with multiple people. Being able to connect people in different states and even different countries is simple and quick.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside is that not everyone is willing to have the first consultation on Zoom as we haven't gotten used to having our face on the screen yet. But it's coming
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to meet on camera with clients right here in my town quickly and easily. No transportation issues, no parking issues. Meetings are just the time you allow with no travel additions.
Zoom allows International Connectivity
What do you like best about the product?
Zoom allows our organization to connect with people all over the world in different time zones. Even if people are not able to attend live the record feature allows them to view the meeting or conference later.
What do you dislike about the product?
Zoom would benefit from having a built in time zone converter. It is extremely frustrating to look for 3rd party apps to convert time zones.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Distance! We never really were bothered by the pandemic in the first place. Simply time and space.
Zoom has been very useful to me as a pastor. Facilites staying in touch with church folk.
What do you like best about the product?
Zoom makes it easy for church members who can't be present physically to still be able to attend our church meetings.
When conducting small groups with members or other pastors, the share screen features make relaying information and media to other participants easy and dynamic.

What do you dislike about the product?
I really don't like that when I schedule a zoom meeting ahead of time on PC, there is always a Windows Outlook pop-up prompting me to send an email. It's annoying because I don't use Outlook and I have to take a few seconds to cancel out of some extra windows before I can move on to what I need to do.
The option to send an email invite should be an optional feature provided AFTER Zoom meetings have been scheduled instead of making it part of the scheduling process.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to be able to meet with other pastors and church members that are restricted by physical distance. In this way, geography doesn't become an obstacle to human interaction.
Always Reliable
What do you like best about the product?
Video and audio are always clear, even when hosting international calls.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I'd improve is the clarity of video for background blurring. This is one area where Zoom is behind other platforms. The quality gets weird if you have curly hair and with different levels of depth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to have a fully remote team, schedule within the platform and have it sync with my calendar. I also like that my team members can have their own accounts and record meetings. When I have international calls, I used to use Teams, the call would always lag. I don't have that issue with Zoom.
Very good audio/video, and reliable
What do you like best about the product?
Good video and audio. Also easy for people to join the meetings. I like that we can embed password for those we trust
What do you dislike about the product?
At times we had difficulty signing on. Also I wish there was a better tiered pricing for businesses. We (our church) is using the lowest tier and the next tier was too expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Remote meetings. Initially during the pandemic, we also used ZOOM to livestream the worship service
A useful tool in todays world
What do you like best about the product?
Zoom is great for setting up meetings in COVID 19 world. It's easy to integrate with prexisting calendar systems. We use it with outlook and it's fantastic. We also are a fan of all the settings like allowing folks to join whenever or breakout rooms.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes changing a meeting can be cumbersome. It feels almost easier to cancel a meeting If certain settings are not what you wanted rather than just change the settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Just this week in 2022 we had 3 meetings scheduled for In person meetings with unrelated parties that all had caught an illness but wanted to meet still. This allows for that.
Zoom is my office
What do you like best about the product?
I can be anywhere in the world and take my business with me. Zoom is my office, is where I meet my clients, where I teach, and where I create an impact in the world!
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't dislike anything. Everything runs smoothly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zoom allows me to see my clients, and record our conversations and helps me to run my training and my podcast recording in one place without needing a studio.
