Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones.""The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions.""We were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface.""All of their features are good. They are more or less equivalent to the competition. There's less disturbance, less jitter, the voice is always good even at a low bandwidth.""I can extract the activity and the attendance reports, along with every single question that was asked during the webinar, which is a feature that we highly value."

More GoToWebinar Pros →

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it can be included in most systems...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""It is easy to share files online in real time with Microsoft Teams.""The conversation capabilities and document management are the solution's most valuable features.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is the ability to create Google calendar invites. When I click on that option to create an invite, it will go straight to Google in my web browser, and it creates a meeting folder. I'm able to share it with the customers. I've not seen that option in Zoom. Additionally, the solution has high performance, and the video and quality of the calls are good. It has all the features that I need.""The solution has features like good voice clarity, good video quality, and recording.""You can add teams to a conversation. You can create reports, project plans, or many other things based on Microsoft solutions. It has improved communication between teams and within each team.""When comparing similar solutions, there aren't many differences between them, but the best feature I would highlight is the quality and stability of their platform.""The solution helps with collaborative communication. You can use it to chat and book calls. You can even set the status as away. It also has a transcript feature integrated."

Cons
"Some of my friends also use GoToWebinar to collect clients for affiliate marketing. In those cases, they found some features were missing with respect to some of the competition. And the worst part is the price.""The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers.""GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints.""The chat window and using polls is easier in Zoom than compared to GoToWebinar. Make it simpler and easier to publish polls on the fly would improve the solution.""The platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it."

More GoToWebinar Cons →

"The application's user interface on Google has shortcomings that need to be improved.""The solution's security feature needs enhancement for external collaborations with business partners and vendors.""We encountered occasional outages, which occurred a couple of times last year while using the product.""Since Microsoft Teams is a typical Microsoft product, inviting guest users to the conversation can be problematic if they're not in the active directory.""The product should improve its security.""The tool lacks AI. We will require AI in the solution to be able to integrate with all other tools.""Inability to see large numbers of participants.""The only issue is sometimes, when I share my screen, and there's text on it, the compression can make it very blurry. If Teams could solve this problem so that text remains clear during screen sharing, that would be nice."
