There is Google Hangouts and it works well

The main "advantage" that I can see to prefer Zoom is that Zoom ("Zhumu") is considered by the authorities in China as safe, so it's not blocked there (which is convenient if you speak to people in China).

It may actually be a negative sign for security if the maintainers of the Great Firewall regard an application as safe.
