"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"It works, it's reliable."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"I think all the features are very useful, especially the rooms features and we present with screen sharing. Instead of organizing conferences, we are able to do that online. This has been saving us from spending on travel. From the beginning of this year, because of GoToMeeting, I have canceled I think three or four business trips."
"I can view the status and availability of colleagues or team members, which makes it easy to approach them when they are available."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"I don't know whether it is an issue or not but my boss was asking me if person one is in one room, and another person wanted to use another room at the same time, I don't know whether it is possible."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"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."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"The webinar should be integrated into Sametime for a larger number of participants."
