We made the switch to Zoom for Government as soon as it became available — it was important for us to have the security that comes with it. There are a lot of good services out there but they don't meet the security standards for the Department of Defense.
"Zoom offers a variety of features that meet the needs of the education industry. The product is magic, but it’s the people behind the partnership and beyond the tool that we want to work with. Vendors who offer ongoing support and who we can build a relationship with are key for us."
Even though I’ve been on a 4-megabit connection for the last two years, I don’t feel like I’ve missed a step. That would not have been possible without Zoom. Even with other video conferencing technologies, like Teams or Webex, the experience is just not the same. Zoom works in environments where other solutions don’t.
"Normally, when we start using a new solution, we have to send a memo out to everyone in our company explaining how to use it, This time around, we sent out a link to a meeting and got started. In the end, there was barely any need for instruction for anyone to use it. We showed them a link and then waited for them to attend the meeting."
"The Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology's Distance Learning program exposes students around the world to the wonders of prehistoric life through the fossil record. Zoom's educational technology software provides an easy way to enable live interaction between our educators and participants. Zoom enables a simple, yet high quality, connection that requires little time-consuming technical assistance. Having software that doesn't require user registration or large downloads gives us the unprecedented opportunity to connect with homeschool students and small-group learners, such as libraries and senior's centres. Zoom is a wonderful complement to our programming."
"At 15Five, we have distributed teams in New York City, San Francisco, Washington State, San Diego, Poland, and elsewhere. We outgrew our old consumer-grade video meeting provider and now use Zoom every day for our company-wide 15-minute daily boost meetings. Zoom helps us keep our team feeling super connected, and I have no doubt it's helped to significantly increase the performance of our distributed team."
"Zoom has the potential to revolutionize the way that academics and researchers work together across traditional boundaries such as organizational groupings, technology platforms and geographical locations. We were looking for a video platform that was full-featured but easy to use, and affordable. Zoom ticked all the boxes and we're excited to offer Zoom to researchers and educators throughout Australia."
"With Zoom, we’re modernizing employee communications and are really able to keep up with the speed of the business."
"At CalState TEACH, we have been very satisfied users of Zoom for the past two years, and have been glad to extend their simple, powerful solution into our classrooms and school sites with the introduction of Zoom Rooms. Zoom Rooms is the ideal tool for connecting our faculty, students and mentor teachers to each other and the outside world with video and content sharing. While offering among the most robust set of features available on the market today, Zoom manages to provide a solution that is a fraction of the cost of other platform's we've tried. To put it simply, it is a tool we could not live without!"
"Many of our clients asked for an expanded live interviewing tool to accommodate a larger number of key hiring stakeholders. We determined that integration with Zoom was the optimal option to fulfill our clients' needs and provide the best features to suit their unique hiring ecosystems."
"What technology has allows us to do is make the program accessible from wherever you are. It's as close as being face to face, and as close to being in the same room as possible."
"It is a good for a facilitator to be able to see peoples' faces. If you see a lot of smiles, it looks like you're going in the right direction. If someone is shaking his head, you need to follow that up. You can catch these cues [on Zoom]."
"Each of Iowa's Area Education Agencies and the Department of Education has purchased Zoom licenses for their employees. Zoom will save us thousands of dollars which are put back into providing services for kids. This distance communication platform will be used by all of our peers across the state making communication seamless. The cost savings also translate into fewer miles traveled and lessen travel time for our staff."
"Zoom was supposed to be a temporary stopgap measure when our other video conferencing systems failed us. To our surprise, we loved it and have never looked back! Unlike our previous systems, Zoom connects easily across room systems, desktops and mobile devices to seamlessly bring together our various campus sites and long-distance participants. We appreciate how easily even those that find technology a challenge can connect and use Zoom. The screen sharing has been a huge help when we need to collaborate on projects. Zoom has become an indispensible tool for the way we work, teach and learn together."
"Project ECHO's mission is to develop the capacity to safely and effectively treat chronic, common, and complex diseases in rural and underserved areas, and to monitor outcomes of this treatment. Of the world's population, roughly six billion people live in medically under-served, primarily rural areas, where it is literally not possible to see a medical specialist. In order to serve this population, we searched for a cloud-based, scalable and cost-effective video conferencing architecture that would bring high-quality video and audio to medical personnel in areas that often have little telecom or broadband infrastructure. Our analysis of the performance-to-price ratio for dozens of contenders had Zoom in the number one position by a lot. Zoom meets the unique needs of the Project ECHO organization at a price point that our ECHO partners can afford."
