Information Systems Specialist III at a university with 10,001+ employees
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.
Anna Virtsan - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Project Manager at UkrSibbank
Have streamlined daily workflow and task management but still face inconvenience from recent interface changes and limited integration options
There are challenges and issues in Microsoft Teams, such as after recent updates where group chats were combined with Teams, chats, and groups into one. Users have to work with settings to make it normal again so Teams are separated from chats, and that was a really inconvenient update. Many users ask me to help make it back again to separate Teams and groups from one-to-one chats. That's probably the worst update they've made recently. Additionally, there are some minor features, such as when I work with messages, I don't have an actual forward or quote option when replying to someone's message. I need to be careful not to miss the quote sign. For a lot of people, they are confused about where the quotes option is. I've received a couple of hundred support tickets just regarding this issue. The function to share email to Teams chat doesn't work sometimes due to our compliance policies, and sometimes it would be nice to be able to forward an email to the group chat and have further discussions. Microsoft Teams could improve by being less glitchy because it glitches a lot, leading to undelivered emails and undelivered messages. It would be beneficial if the MS application Shifts, which adds functionality to groups, could be integrated into the groups calendar. Currently, many teams don't use the app because it is not integrated with the general calendar or the Outlook calendar, making it basically a useless application. The platform needs less Copilot and more people. The general Copilot integration into the platform is less glitchy, but Microsoft Teams is quite heavy and glitchy sometimes. Stability depends a lot on compliance restrictions, policies, and quality of internet. Sometimes, when updates are enrolling, the platform glitches, breaks, or shuts down.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"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."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"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."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"Microsoft Teams is a very stable app."
"There is a new Skype feature in Teams that is excellent."
"Teams is fully integrated with our teams, culture, and behaviors."
"Microsoft Teams adds value for businesses by providing functionality that includes co-authoring on work documents, publishing Power BI sites for reporting and billing, and integrating calendaring."
"The integration, ability to share documents is very good."
"What I like most about Microsoft Teams, is that we can pin applications on the top of the group."
"Microsoft Teams is user-friendly and flexible. I like its SharePoint feature also."
"You can add Teams to a conversation; you can create reports, project plans, or many other things based on Microsoft solutions, and it has improved communication between teams and within each team."
 

Cons

"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"There may be more features available in, for example, Cisco WebEx."
"Many issues over time with phone echos and unusable audio."
"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 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."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"For improvements to Microsoft Teams, I would say sometimes the tool gets stuck."
"If it's a group chat, then we can record the session, but we cannot record a one on one session."
"If I could completely eliminate Outlook and only use Teams, that would help me immensely. Productivity would increase drastically and many of our team members would be more efficient in our day-to-day, as we would be living primarily in a single tool."
"The solution's login process could be more straightforward."
"The product needs to improve its stability."
"Microsoft Teams does not have any features that Zoom, Skype, or Webex don't already have."
"I would like to see Outlook options added to this solution."
"If I could completely eliminate Outlook and only use Teams, that would help me immensely."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Microsoft Teams is expensive compared to other solutions."
"I’m unsure about the exact cost, but I believe it’s reasonable. Using Teams for collaboration, video conferencing, and messaging helps save costs, especially for communicating with third-party companies worldwide."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"We are using the free version of the solutions."
"We don't have to pay for the solution."
"The solution is priced high."
"It is a bit more than moderately expensive."
"It is affordable because it also includes the licenses on Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office and SharePoint."
