Considered Both Products	CMS Signage No answer on this topic	Zoom Rooms Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Rooms During the evaluation process we found Zoom Rooms to be more reliable on our network and more secure for our students. We enjoyed the controls in the system as well as the flexibility for our staff to teach within their preferences. Incentivized Helpful? Kevin Reeve Director - Teaching and Learning Technology Chose Zoom Rooms Before using Zoom Rooms we had close to 450 endpoints of CISCO Telepresence throughout the state in classrooms and conference rooms. A good product, but could only buy CISCO hardware. No third party hardware available. Zoom innovation has moved the Zoom Room technology … Incentivized Helpful? Wenceslao Unzueta Product Manager Chose Zoom Rooms Zoom Rooms was the first to use proximity technology, the use of broadband is less and the integration it has with harwdare is the simplest there is. Incentivized Helpful? John Drinkwater CTO Chose Zoom Rooms The biggest issue is video quality. Microsoft can reduce video quality, but I don't always see why it does this. Zoom will be at the quality of your account unless there is a significant bandwidth problem. If the quality issue ends, the video quality improves again. Microsoft … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Rooms We switched to Zoom due to the customer service quality with other vendors. Responses came slow and unblocking every country code one by one was a hassle.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Rooms Better audio and video handling. Ease of use. We have Google as part of our Technology solutions but still purchased Zoom Workplace. Incentivized Helpful? George Dial Chief Information Officer Chose Zoom Rooms Zoom Workplace is more refined, better audio and video quality and more features. We chose Zoom Workplace because more of our partners and clients felt comfortable with Zoom Workplace. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Rooms Zoom has so many more features. The breakout rooms and interpretation were critical reasons we went with Zoom. Incentivized Helpful? Ben Polen Manager IT Chose Zoom Rooms We use Zoom for the specific use cases mentioned because it seems to be the best tool for those use cases. Other tools are in use for other use cases in our enterprise, as well as because of the pricing structure for the tool. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Rooms Both work very well, but users had more familiarity with Zoom. Incentivized Helpful? RW Rich Wong Director, Campus Tech Chose Zoom Rooms Zoom Rooms is far superior from initial installation, backend management, and user experience though that seems to be changing with time as more and more products and features are added it is becoming more bloated and complicated to manage the service. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Rooms Google Meet, Webex App and Microsoft Teams Incentivized Helpful?

Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Rooms I personally think Zoom Rooms is superior to Teams.

Verified User Anonymous Chose Zoom Rooms My understanding is that we would need to upgrade this feature in Google Workspace, so there was not a significant cost savings.

User Testimonials
	CMS Signage	Zoom Rooms
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	User friendly, reliable and inclusive to remote audiences. The product grows organically for us which speaks for itself ; the business at sites we could not equip with our initial investments requests it. We have made the choice of Zoom rooms 5 years ago and it is still one our our star products supporting frictionless collaboration. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Zoom Rooms is built on the Zoom platform so faculty already know it and use it. All touch panels regardless of manufacturer have the same look and feel. Easy to schedule, easy to use. Supports a wide range of hardware from several vendors. Kevin Reeve Director - Teaching and Learning Technology Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Support is prompt, but not always the most immediately knowledgable or helpful. Admin portal is convoluted. There's gotta be a better way to assign scheduling permisissions. Zoom account managers are constantly being reassigned. It is nearly impossible to keep track of who presently is our account manager. When we were going through the process of looking into Zoom Phone, our manager was literally switched twice, resulting in us working with three total managers during that two-month process.

Usability	No answers on this topic	User friendliness (experience very similar to the already familiar Zoom app), consistency of the UX across locations and manufacturers. Screen sharing is made super easy (proximity). Zoom rooms support strategic needs for Hybrid work and reduced travels. Backend admin interface is simple (that's good) and provides useful dashboards for trend analysis. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	I personally think Zoom Rooms is superior to Teams. I have setup 3 or 4 Zooms Rooms for my organisation and it is pretty straightforward to do without any formal training or education on Zoom Rooms. My experience with Teams was the opposite. A horrible interface and options deliberately hidden away in menus levels deep. On top of which, Zoom Room outperforms Teams Rooms in both video and audio. On the desktop, Teams is a bloated app whereas, in my experience, Zoom Rooms works well. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Great value for money as used it more than planned after installation. Finding the use of screen share and whiteboards is becoming very popular and meant we wanted a larger screen for this. ;-) John Drinkwater CTO Read full review
