Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings.""We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place.""Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality.""GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting.""The most important feature for me was the iPhone app.""Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio.""GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."

More GoToMeeting Pros →

"Multiple channels and tools for recording.""Microsoft Teams is a scalable tool because it integrates with many other tools and different kinds of apps.""There is a new Skype feature in Teams that is excellent.""You can easily integrate with other applications quite easily.""We like that you can get a lot of users on one call without the call actually failing or losing quality. Hosts can connect, if I recall correctly, up to 90,000 people. If you need a massive company-wide meeting, you can do it.""The solution is easy to use and helps me to communicate with my students.""The tool makes it easy for us to book meetings. It seamlessly integrates with the Office application which we are using for the last four years.""The tool's user interface is very good."

Cons
"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.""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 I'm not sure if it's capable of that.""The interface is a little outdated and could be better.""Using GoToMeeting in a meeting-sized conference room is kind of a letdown.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.""The solution could always be more secure.""Manageability needs to be improved."

More GoToMeeting Cons →

"The solution's stability can be better.""Microsoft Teams withdrew the Wiki function, which was quite a good and useful feature.""It would be better if Microsoft Teams can link us to the internet on the screen sharing mode during the meeting.""The product should improve its security.""Lacking in more complex hierarchies for files and teams.""The solution's security features could be improved.""Microsoft Teams could work faster if set up on other devices like cell phones.""The product needs to improve its security."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices.

    Top Answer:The pricing is okay. The higher education department manages the subscription, so I am unaware of the licensing costs.
    Top Answer:The only issue is sometimes, when I share my screen, and there's text on it, the compression can make it very blurry. If Teams could solve this problem so that text remains clear during screen… more »
