Zoom Workplace

What differentiates Zoom Workplace from other similar products?

Why this is the best: good old reliability. it's better than every other tool i've found to date because in two years, i don't think i've ever had an outright "connection failed". in a professional environment that consistency is more valuable than any cool new feature.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love how the ui remains consistent even as they build on top of things. the join button is always in the same place and settings are easy to navigate. the noise reduction is the best i have ever noticed and it even blocks out my bellow mechanical keyboard.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The “apps” marketplace can be hot or miss - some of the integrations are brilliant, some feel like they haven’t been updated in years and probably don’t work.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you just want a pair of shoes that your not gonna have to notice and won't let you down in a meeting these are it.

What differentiates Zoom Workplace from other similar products?

its the best one cause there is almost now learning curve. i share a link with a client who has never used it and they are in the meeting with one click. because it is superior to other similar tools that need an account to be created entirely or work in a certain browser.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

i do love how the basic controls are always there now. the new streamlined toolbar makes it far more difficult to accidentally stay on mute while you are trying to speak. also damn aired, the "mark all as read"feature in chat is a small thing I use quite frequently for my own sanity.

What do you dislike most about this product?

it still crashes infrequently when attempting to share my screen with running high resource using software on the background. not that it happen much but its annoying when it does.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

it is the best option for anyone working with external customers requiring a platform that "just works" for all parties.

What differentiates Zoom Workplace from other similar products?

even better than google docs because its embedded in the meeting window. It's the best, because we can co-edit a project plan as we talk and no one has to be viewing me sharing their screen.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

i love the “my notes” portion to keep track of what i was thinking during a call. it is private so i can type whatever and turn those into tasks at a later time.) the audio quality is also exactly crisp even when people are using cheap built-in microphones.

What do you dislike most about this product?

the sidebar looks very cluttered with all the channels and folders. i wish there were better ways to archive old conversations after the fact so they don’t stick in my face forever.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

if your team does a significant amount of collaborative writing or planning, this integrated design will save you tons of clicking.
