What users say about Zoom Workplace

Cerniuk
By Cerniuk on May 16 2023 for v.5.14.7

Ease of use: 3.0

There are some glaring exceptions to usability that include the inability to use the MacOS keychain, and clicking on a window in the system (vs their list of windows) to make it the shared window. Join.me and FaceTime both have "click in the window to share. Zoom should do same. Find it impossible to figure out some things on the iPad vs the Mac. Maybe time to bring the iPad version up to the level of Mac version and make it cross platform.

Customer support: 2.0

The online documentation is extensive but also suffers from TMI at the same time. Online documentation for ZoomGov is scant and Zoom regular disagrees with ZoomGov sometimes. Really don't like that it is not available in the Mac App Store. That usually means the vendor is doing something jenky that should not be done (aka Citrix and others). Even Microsoft apps are in the Apple App Store... Zoom, time to up your game.

v6.0.1 is out. They're playing with the name of the app. Today's version is called "Zoom Workplace". But it's still Zoom.

I've recently been forced to use Microsoft Teams. :-Q***** The experience has been so unintuitive, clunky, obtuse and dysfunctional that it makes Zoom look 4 star. So I gave Zoom a fourth star.

I seem to be among a lot of people who simply cannot understand why Zoom categorically refuses to allow interaction with any password manager or Keychain. I know it's not that hard to have to manually type in everything every. single. time. but it sure gets bloody annoying multiple times a day and honestly- it's not exactly like Zoom needs unbreakable security. C'mon guys- it's 2023 this shouldn't be this hard.
