It features low latency, which is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at 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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most critical feature is the POA, but Breakout sessions are definitely my favorite."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"Screen share and document share are good features."
"The product has valuable communication features. It also has good performance and stability."
"It is a stable product."
"Connect helped us move away from WebEx and use a tool more suitable for learning."
"I love that I can create classes and that they are "persistent" which means they can be reused over and over again."
"The solution can scale well."
"In general, I find GoToMeeting very simple and easy to use."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"GoToMeeting is a nice program and they have a lot of features."
"With GoToMeeting, I like that it works well for seminars and similar events. Finding a platform where multiple people can share their images, split the screen with content, and manage presentations smoothly is uncommon. It allows the presenter to handle questions, answers, and other opinions."
"It's cost-effective."
"GoToMeeting took a very short time to install and it worked without a hitch."
"We need a meeting thing, hey, go find a meeting thing."
 

Cons

"We encounter issues while connecting headphones via Bluetooth. This particular area needs improvement."
"The solution is quite expensive. In Brazil, Connect is only for obtaining international standards for international companies."
"The price is a problem."
"It needs faster and easier upgrades."
"Adobe's products are difficult to grasp. They don't have a good explanation."
"The troubleshooting process for Adobe Connect could be improved."
"We would like to see support for exportable files that have been uploaded into Adobe Connect as templates for activities."
"I think that both the interface and the layout options, the ability to organize the different components for an online meeting on your screen, could be improved."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"The solution must include archive options to save the recorded meetings for future reference. The recording functionality can benefit our team by improving how meetings are recorded and shared. Previously, only admins could record meetings, sometimes leading to issues if recordings were missed or not shared properly. The recent update now allows hosting GoToMeeting sessions with the ability to delegate recording rights to other team members."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"Adobe Connect is free of cost."
"The purchasing process is complicated. It would be beneficial if it were more simplified."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
