"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"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."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
