At the start of the pandemic, my coworker and I had to pick a videoconferencing solution, and we had a set of criteria we needed to meet. GoToMeeting met all our expectations. Our management loved it.

It was an emergency purchase, so we had to make fast decisions. We reviewed each vendor briefly to compare conference features and liabilities and then decided pretty quickly. We've since adopted Google Workspace, which has a competing conference solution that's worthless, in my opinion, so we're still using GoToMeeting for that

I don't directly deal with the licensing or pricing aspects of the product.

Teams and GoToMeeting are the solutions we initiate from. Some people like initiating their meetings from Teams. Some people like initiating their meetings from GoToMeeting. We've also used Webex but never on a large scale, so I have no opinion on whether it is more stable than GoToMeeting. 

I'm not sitting here analyzing the 900 ways that I can communicate. I might've been on Webex meetings where there were 50 people because one of the vendors was doing a big presentation for all their customers, or there may have been 20. Were there 20 people on that? Were there 100 people on that? I don't know. I just know there were a lot of people on there. I didn't sit and count. And as a vendor, he controls it. The vendor can say, "Okay, I don't want to see any pictures. Everybody is muted." So it looks like it's a good presentation.

There's really no reason we went with GoToMeeting over the others. 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." Then we started using it for free. Then we were already using it so we started paying for it for more users. 

GoToMeeting was too slow, so our company has changed to Zoom. With Zoom, we don't have as much trouble with the connection speed slowing down when we are sharing screens.

I find BlueJeans very similar to Skype and it does similar things that Google does. You can add more team members there so BlueJeans is a proven solution. It's a good tool. It's not a replacement to GoToMeeting, but equally handy when it comes to some things.

WebEx and Skype for Business.
