Gavin Tomlins - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Easy setup and an a la carte pricing model
The solution needs a more modern interface. One of our biggest complaints is that we don't have the ability to dynamically push our interface to participants. Adobe Connect is an older technology, but it allows us to push our own layout and design to participants. One of the solution's strengths is that it's web-only but that is also a weakness. It is not a software solution but is browser-based which has its advantages and disadvantages. Zoom has become such a force that its ease of use surpasses ON24.

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."
"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"It works, it's reliable."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"The solution works well with third-party integrations."
"Friendly user interface and simple navigation."
 

Cons

"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"It is not so stable."
"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 could always be more secure."
"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 sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"I don't know whether it is an issue or not but my boss was asking me if person one is in one room, and another person wanted to use another room at the same time, I don't know whether it is possible."
"Bandwidth optimization could be increased."
"The solution needs a more modern interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"We paid $1,800 for five webinars, which is the standard fee. If you require support there is a $300 additional fee, extra attendees is an additional fee, integration is an additional fee, etc. All these extras could add on another $2,500 which was not in our budget."
