We performed a comparison between GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar 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."Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"It works, it's reliable."
"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"It was just chosen because somebody at the company said, "We need a meeting thing. Hey, go find a meeting thing." It wasn't me, but somebody else in the organization was like, "Alright, let's use GoToMeeting. It's free.""
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones."
"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."
"We were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."
"The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions."
"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."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"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."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"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."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."
"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 platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it."
"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."
"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."
