Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It works, it's reliable.""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.""Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio.""The most important feature for me was the iPhone app.""Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it.""It was just chosen because somebody at the company said, "We need a meeting thing. Hey, go find a meeting thing." It wasn't me, but somebody else in the organization was like, "Alright, let's use GoToMeeting. It's free."""GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting.""Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."

Cons
"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 sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement.""The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to.""We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow.""Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches.""The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings.""The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users.""It is not so stable."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices.
    Top Answer:This is not an expensive solution, we pay around $5,000AUD maximum per year. There are other fees for data carriage, PABX fees, and the like but they would apply to any similar product.
    Top Answer: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… more »
