Class for Zoom vs. Google Workspace for Education

Class for Zoom is great for universities, colleges, business and other organizations. According to my experience there is no cons of this app. One of the most loved this app features is an unlimited number of meetings like we can use Google Meet to connect with anyone we like for example: family, colleagues, co-workers, friends and also online international conferences. We just need to install the software.

Google [Workspace for Education (formerly G Suite for Education)] is pretty darn good [at] meeting the needs for educators and students. It is not designed to run your business office, transportation group, or lunch services. It doesn't need to be good at those. Focus on teachers and students. They do that really, really well. The Google folks continue to add features that help serve teacher and students. For example, they have really done a good job of adding Google Meet features such as polling and breakout rooms. Those features required a paid subscription to Workspace, but it makes sense since those features compete with Zoom, which requires a subscription for those services.

Class for Zoom was a very clear improvement over just plain Zoom. The additional features make for a much richer experience overall. One main reason Class for Zoom stood out over other similar products is how seamlessly everything was integrated together. This is very important as the more clunky it feels the less engaging the meeting will feel and Class for Zoom did a great job at not feeling clunky.

Ultimately, since we use Chromebooks, it did not make sense to choose Microsoft. Its price points are significantly higher, and the platform is more business-oriented than tailored to the education market
