Featured Reviews

Steve Abshire - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless presentation and collaboration enhance organizational productivity
There are three main areas for improvement: Firstly, AI capabilities should be integrated into Microsoft Teams to provide better transcript services and offer multiple language support. Secondly, it should allow participants to remain visible during presentations, enhancing interaction. Lastly, it needs broader integration capabilities with other products, like Salesforce, which is currently limited.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"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."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"Valuable screen sharing feature."
"Teams' most valuable feature is the ability to choose from multiple numbers to show when calling."
"Screen sharing and chat retention are the most valuable features of Microsoft Teams."
"The solution's most valuable feature is connecting calls to concerned people anytime. It works much faster."
"The solution integrates with project management products like Jira."
"It is easy to share files online in real time with Microsoft Teams."
"It's a very simple software that's very easy to understand."
"It has allowed for collaboration during the COVID-19 situation (work from home)."
 

Cons

"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"It is not so stable."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"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 product is not fully integrated in Brazil."
"The desktop and mobile apps are quite different."
"The only issue is sometimes, when I share my screen, and there's text on it, the compression can make it very blurry. If Teams could solve this problem so that text remains clear during screen sharing, that would be nice."
"I would like to see more customization options in the product such as more integration with other tools."
"The solution's interface probably needs to be a bit different in terms of cloud sharing."
"Microsoft Teams can start being more interactive and intuitive by implementing artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"There are a lot of creative people out there who can put some more UI capabilities in Microsoft Teams."
"Whiteboard should be standard rather than an app."
