Find out what your peers are saying about Zoom Video Communications, Cisco, TeamViewer and others in Virtual Meetings."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.""
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."

"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"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."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"It is stable."
"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."
"It's nice that it's an all-in-one solution and everything is all in one place."
"Using Office 365 has allowed us to go digital and onboard people seamlessly for working at home during the COVID pandemic."
"It's inexpensive to license."
"The product helps us be more efficient. It helps us to have a standardized way of doing things."
"The technical support is outstanding."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"It is not so stable."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"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 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."
"Data protection and email security are almost the same for all the organizations, irrespective of their segment (SMB or enterprises), with standard subscription at least basic Data loss prevention and Advance threat protection can be enabled for SMB segments, it is available in enterprise version / Premium versions."
"We have had some connectivity issues."
"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."
"Office 365 could allow for smoother collaboration with other companies, which is the main reason we use it. The B2B connection is something we need, like global adverse lists between two tenants or multiple users. That's what we're missing at the moment."
"Could include integration with other single sign-on solutions."
"Constantly evolving with new features, which can be challenging for users."
"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."
"Improvements can be made to the products generic offering. It's not customized for health care. It doesn't understand the meaning of health care related concepts. Providing a greater degree of industry specificity would make the tool much more unique and valuable."
