Cons
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices.""Manageability needs to be improved.""GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it.""The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement.""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.""Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations.""The solution could always be more secure.""We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."

More GoToMeeting Cons →

"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.""Could include integration with other single sign-on solutions.""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.""It seems like every other week when we log into the administrative portals, it doesn't matter which one, it could be the active directory portal, it could be the exchange admin center or SharePoint admin center, it seems like Microsoft is consistently updating with new versions of the admin centers, which can be frustrating.""I rate the support of Office 365 a four out of five.""We have found that, with Teams, if you are including one more person who is not in the company ecosystem, supposedly I'm inviting them as a guest in the chat. However, when I do that, I can't share files.""Integration between Outlook calendar and Google Calendar would be a good improvement since many of our team use Android phones and personal Gmail accounts as their main calendar application."
