Am I the only one disappointed by Zoom's changes RE: the small business target market?
I have been a Pro-Account subscriber for many years and just received my renewal notice. On the surface it looks like the price is the same. However, Pro Account plans ($149.90/yr) NO LONGER have Live Chat support — that is now only provided for accounts spending a minimum of $600/yr. Email support is insufficient when a technical issue is disrupting a current/pending session. This essentially leaves small businesses unsupported technically.
The astronomical jump from $149.90 to $600 - to have live chat support - is game changer (unless we agree to pay an extra $72/yr (ah-hem 50% increase) for assurance of tech support.
As an independent consultant, I am questioning my renewal. My spiritual center is also re-considering its account type. When company's start decreasing their customer support; members start making other decisions. Perhaps Zoom has calculated that it can lose its Pro-Account customer base.
