Clunky with poor interface, lacks sufficient functionalities; it did reduce need for in-person meetings

We're phasing out the use of GoToMeeting because of some of its deficiencies. It lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations. The user interface is quite poor and needs to be reworked and the product is quite clunky in comparison to its competitors. It currently lacks the ability for sharing collaborative materials during a meeting. We also found that the ability to switch between audio and video configurations isn't as intuitive as in other applications. I generally do 20-30 hours of video conferencing a day, so it makes a difference to have these features. It doesn't integrate as easily into phone systems as well as other organizations and it doesn't integrate as easy into instant messaging and collaboration tools or into software solutions. In general, some of the functionalities need to be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution for team collaboration, document sharing, and video conferencing services. It integrates well with on-premises video conferencing systems and supports chatting through text messaging and instant messaging."

"Interesting collaboration features."

"It is very easy to jump from one communication channel to another one. It is pretty clear and very easy to do. That is the thing that I like the most from Avaya and their suite."

"I like the share information function."

"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."

"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."

"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."

"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."

"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."

"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."

"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."

"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."

Cons

"There isn't too much information about Avaya solutions and that could be very much improved. If you want some product support, you have to go through a business partner in Latin America and there aren't many partners."

"The installation could be more straightforward. I would like it to work with other meeting software in the next release."

"Increase in participant numbers reduces quality of video and sound."

"Avaya IX Meetings' deployment is complex."

"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."

"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."

"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."

"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."

"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."

"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."

"The solution could always be more secure."

"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."

More GoToMeeting cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm using a subscription. The price is reasonable. It costs about $20 a year."

"Avaya IX Meetings' licensing costs are monthly."

"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."

"Negotiate for discounts."
