RingCentral has this nagging urge to rebrand everything with their name. Their meetings technology is 100% Zoom white-labeled with their name. In fact Zoom has better functionality because RingCentral (for whatever the reason) does not allow hosts to record meetings in the cloud (big problem for me). Anyways, it’s so annoying as an ex-Zoom customer who had to dump Zoom when switching my phones to RingCentral because I know firsthand how much better Zoom is even though it is the exact same application with their branding.
It is both annoying and even unprofessional that my clients are being forced to download and install RingCentral’s meeting application to join my meetings now, even though they’ve already done so previously with the Zoom application. As a sales professional, it doesn’t bode well when my prospects are resistant to install something from RingCentral just so that I can give them a demo. Zoom is well known whereas RingCentral is not. I guess they think that this branding will fix that. It won’t. It’s a very cheap and tacky way to try and gain recognition.
