Considered Both Products
Arlo
Chose Arlo
Arlo is great for home office video monitoring. Meraki is more geared toward enterprise. Both work equally well for what they are designed for but Meraki has more advanced features that businesses might need.
Chose Arlo
Im still comparing and so far Synology is a better choice for its clarity and ease of use.

It came down to several business associates who provided a strong referral. I truly believe in networking and using the experiences of others to help avoid costly mistakes. Once the product arrived it was packaged well and contained very easy instructions. The products are …

I prefer Zoom Workplace for the UI. Teams is buggy and there's a lot more lag moving around the platform and call options. It has a better messaging system for sure but calling aspect is less than desirable.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
Better analytics, better for large numbers of people and hosting events like webinars. The quality of the video, in my opinion, is better on platforms like Teams. Maybe this is because of the volume of people that are logged in at once.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
-Much better sound system and can drown out outside noises much better
-More user friendly and easier to understand
-Better picture options

No comparison. Hopin was very hard to use, did not offer much support, and cost 2 times the amount!
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
The combination of superior ease of use, relative affordability of a license, high participant volume, rich feature set, custom branding capabilities, excellent audio/video codecs, lean resource usage, and studio production features.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
We moved away from MS Teams due to several factors:
1)The ability to have a calendar reminder pop up for the upcoming webinar.
2)The ability to have Zoom automatically send a customized one hour reminder email to everyone who registered.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
Zoom Webinars provides a platform to address a larger audience with ease. It provides clear audio and video. Features are better for conferences and lectures when compared to Skype.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
I've had limited contact with Whova and Hopin, but I've got clients who have looked at them in detail for events. After hearing my guidance on proper licensing of Zoom Events and training on Zoom Events editing and configuration, they've all been very pleased with going the …

the ease of use of Zoom is better - everyone seems to be familiar with Zoom and not necessarily the other two.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
I started using Zoom after COVID-19 and was a great experience in comparison to Skype. It helps a user to easily add any prospect client or team member anywhere around the globe through a single link from browser without a chat invite

Zoom is much better than its peers. It has superior functionality, is much more intuitive to use on a daily basis, and is much more reliable than the previous products that we have used. Zoom has also been advocated for extensively by our students and faculty due to its …

Google Meet does not provide breakup rooms and does not have a user-friendly interface. Google Meet does not have the strict admin controls that Zoom Video Webinar provides. Zoom Video Webinar has been widely accepted and most of our clients use it. The price for the premium …
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
I have also used Video connect for doctors' appointments and although it has its pros as well, the Zoom seems much more user-friendly. I am not too familiar with whether or not the platform allows for as many users to all be part of the same conference or what kind of costs it …
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
[In my opinion,] Zoom [Events] is more stable, more flexible, and more friendly than these [other] products.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars

Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
Zoom is more reliable than others tools we have used and has less issues for our customers.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
We find Zoom Video Webinar to be the most user-friendly platform, compared to the ones that we have tested for business use.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
We used Adobe Connect for about a year. The caliber of the recordings was lower than that of Zoom Video Webinar. Also, managing a space was more complicated than with Zoom. Granted, that was 6 years ago now that we stopped using it, but that was our experience at the time.
Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
I'm not familiar with any of Zoom's competitors, but this seems to be a popular program in the business world, and I haven't heard anyone have any serious problems with it. Overall, it's definitely helpful and worth the money.

User Testimonials
ArloZoom Events & Webinars
Likelihood to Recommend
  • Excellent for home security and monitoring in areas with strong WiFi signals.
  • Excellent for mounting cameras with a lot of mounting options.
  • Wireless is good with a long battery length before charging is needed.
If there is a weak WiFi signal like at a cabin or in remote areas it is less appropriate.

I had an issue with my calendar syncing to Zoom Workplace for a while, that was annoying, but it resolved itself someway. Maybe an update. The invite feature is week when in a call, my team never receives them, I manually always have to send a link. I also do not get Zoom call notifications so I am late to meetings often. Too much work to manually find that feature, wish it was a default setting like Teams. I prefer Zoom Workplace because I think it works faster, is smoother, and I prefer the video settings UI over other platforms. Everyone else makes it too complicated to change backgrounds or blur as necessary. The adjustment for low light is also a huge win.

  • I will we could add registration disclaimer language to the Webinar templates.
  • Some of the customization and setup features are difficult to find.
  • I would like to add someone to help me run webinars without paying for them to have their own webinar platform. We should be able to buy one platform and both of us log into it and setup and run webinars from it.

We will be renewing with Zoom as long as it continues to meet our needs for client and lead outreach needs in a robust manner. With little error and an easy to use interface, Zoom has met our needs and exceeded our expectations. The cost is right and with a short learning curve, Zoom has been an easy decision to make and maintain.

Support Rating
I have only had to contact them one time, and they were responsive and professional. It is difficult to give a rating on this unless you actually have an issue. This is the reason for a 9 out of 10. I can not give a perfect rating if I never had an opportunity to truly experience something.

Zoom is a good option compared to these other softwares as it is more universally accepted. The advantage of this is that most people use Zoom, making it easier to arrange a call with external stakeholders. Microsoft Teams is often very unreliable, and Zoom seems to work more consistently compared to the other options.
