"The UI is user-friendly and very good overall."
"You can use the Cisco Meeting Server to set up conference calls and virtual meetings. Those are the two primary functions of Meeting Server. Most people in the company are using Microsoft Teams, so we only use Meeting Server when we have an internal meeting for all staff."
"All of their features are good. They are more or less equivalent to the competition. There's less disturbance, less jitter, the voice is always good even at a low bandwidth."
"The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions."
"We were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."

"In Cisco Meeting Server, GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"This is a difficult solution to install and it should be made easier."
"A few features are missing on the Meetings app, like a recording function. My understanding is that you need to buy a separate recording solution. It's modular, so you have to enable some functions if you want to use them. For example, we had to enable the Mood function. Recording is the primary feature we'd like to see in the app."
"The platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it."
"The chat window and using polls is easier in Zoom than compared to GoToWebinar. Make it simpler and easier to publish polls on the fly would improve the solution."
