We performed a comparison between GoToMeeting and Skype for Business based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtual Meetings solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"We don't have any link issues whether you use it to browser, or use it as a client. It worked perfectly fine for us."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"GoToMeeting's low latency is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work. The sound and video quality are solid, and the whiteboarding features were especially useful. The administrative side of it was fairly simple and intuitive to use."
"The tool's most valuable features are its audio and chat functions. They help us save time and have good telephone integration."
"It saves trouble, and it saves us time."
"A good option for virtual meetings."
"Making calls and having meetings is easy."
"The simplicity and ease of use are the most valuable features. It's so much easier and quicker than writing an email to someone and waiting for them to read it."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"I like the seamless integration to local telecommunications."
"The calling features are most valuable, especially now as we are working remotely."
"In the next release, I would for it to incorporate files more efficiently from one computer to another when we covert things and send them out. I'm not sure if it's capable of that."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"It is not so stable."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"Using GoToMeeting in a meeting-sized conference room is kind of a letdown. The camera is supposed to track the speaker and focus on that person so that they can be on the screen. That feature rarely worked. We tested it thoroughly, so maybe it was an issue with the size of the conference room. It may not be suitable for large conference rooms."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"Skype for Business could improve by having a document channel or repository. Microsoft Teams has a better repository place for documents that you can share with your team. You can access it anywhere from any device."
"The group feature of Skype for Business needs improvement. It should also be improved for online lectures."
"There are issues with the bandwidth, particularly for external meetings,"
"We overcame the audio quality issues by asking users to use the 'Call Me' feature with their desk phone."
"Sometimes Skype is slow, and we cannot use other elements of our devices while using the Skype solution."
"We need a feature where you can virtually raise your hand to silently let the presenter know that you have a question."
"The video conferencing quality can be improved."
"The solution lacks to provide reporting functionality, and I would like to see the solution provide that feature."
