"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"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."
"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."
"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"Reliable without any glitches."
"It's inexpensive to license."
"The functionality that is most valuable is the solution's ability to detect patient data in email attachments. Whenever a user sends out an email with patient data embedded in an attachment, it triggers an alert. The tool can detect a social security number and various other forms of patient identity. Emails are then automatically generated and sent."
"Many of the features in Office 365 are good, but I think Excel is a very good tool."
"There's a lot there in terms of apps and features."
"We use it for documentation management, to collaborate with Microsoft Teams, web calls, web conference calls, chats, and as a documentation repository mainly. We have an Office pack suite to be able to write documentation, make spreadsheets, and create PowerPoints."
"Cloud-based management is valuable and software deployment is positive."
"It is stable."
"It is not so stable."
"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."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"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."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"Constantly evolving with new features, which can be challenging for users."
"Their support is so terrible and unusable except during dire emergencies."
"There are some complexities to the initial setup if you use some of the more advanced features."
"I'd like to see them add more features in the future in order to continue to advance the product."
"If two people update the same file, it causes issues."
"The feature to convert PDF file to a Word document needs improvement as well as the feature to save the file automatically when typing, without using the save command."
"Using Visual Basic, I have had a lot of trouble with relative paths when programming for Excel, and sometimes it is very difficult to debug programs."
"I would like to see better integration with Teams, and better usability with SharePoint."
