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."The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"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."
"It's easy to set up."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"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.""
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"I can view the status and availability of colleagues or team members, which makes it easy to approach them when they are available."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"GoToMeeting breaks down a lot. We're not sure if it's breaking down, but we start getting very erratic community channels. I don't know if it's because of GoToMeeting or if we're not buying enough bandwidth. Maybe it is just the infrastructure that it's running on. I'm not quite sure."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"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."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"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."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"The webinar should be integrated into Sametime for a larger number of participants."
