Zeen vs. Zoom Rooms

Zeen is perfect for daily stand-ups and quick calls with customers.

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.

• I love the fact that I can save the audio recording of the call
• When you log in to a meeting, your video is on by default - which seems more natural for our use case
• Having the ability to set an agenda prior to the call, is really useful

• 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.

• The on-boarding process for Team spaces is a little confusing and could be improved

• 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.

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.

Zeen wins over its competition because of its ease of use, tightly controlled feature set and the fact that no additional software is required.

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.

• Overall, Zeen reduces time fussing about getting into meetings; especially the fact that you don't need to install additional software.

• 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. ;-)
