"Reliable, but unnecessary if you're a Microsoft house"
What do you like best about Zoom Workplace?
It hardly ever fails or crashes. The interface is intuitive. The admin tool that consolidates all our company accounts is fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Zoom Workplace?
Now that MS Teams has become a leading contender (it is just as reliable and easy to use), we use MS Teams a lot more than Zoom because MS Teams has become a central app that integrates with all the other essential apps our organization uses. Zoom continues to add functionality to Workplace, but nothing that MS doesn't already have. Microsoft, however, has greatly improved MS Teams. As a not-for-profit organization, it's very cost effective to take advantage of Microsoft's discounts. Zoom is just an unnecessary cost now.
Also, their billing services are the worst I've ever had to deal with. They used to be fantastic, but something has apparently happened with their success and growth. I found myself fighting with them for the past two years to undo a mistake they made (changing us to a more expensive version that we did not request). There was little response, and I followed their terms to submit a pre-arbitration demand. It was never completely resolved and we paid over $10K for a product we did not want. We are canceling our business licenses at the end of this agreement term and going back to the Pro version where the few users who use Workplace will expense it instead of us administrating it from IT.
