"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.""It's cost-effective.""Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it.""I think all the features are very useful, especially the rooms features and we present with screen sharing. Instead of organizing conferences, we are able to do that online. This has been saving us from spending on travel. From the beginning of this year, because of GoToMeeting, I have canceled I think three or four business trips.""I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex.""The most important feature for me was the iPhone app.""The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings.""GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."

Cons
"Interface and layout options could be improved.""It needs faster and easier upgrades.""Other solutions have more marketing and more visibility. Nobody knows Adobe Connect exists.""The price is a problem.""We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement.""Adobe's products are difficult to grasp.""We would like to see support for exportable files that have been uploaded into Adobe Connect as templates for activities."

More Adobe Connect Cons →

"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.""In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment.""Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work.""GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it.""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.""The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users.""Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations.""The solution could always be more secure."
