Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app.""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.""The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability.""I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex.""The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings.""There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless.""Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices.""It's easy to set up."

More GoToMeeting Pros →

"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.""The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions.""This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones.""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 were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."

Cons
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations.""The interface is a little outdated and could be better.""The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users.""I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom.""The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to.""GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it.""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.""Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."

More GoToMeeting Cons →

"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 sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers.""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."
