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.

A scalable and stable solution that offers good production support
I am impressed with the tool's production support.  The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system.  I have been using the product for five years.  I would rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten. I would rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten.…

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 low latency is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work. The sound and video quality are solid, and the whiteboarding features were especially useful. The administrative side of it was fairly simple and intuitive to use."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"It works, it's reliable."
"It's cost-effective."
"I am impressed with the tool's production support."
 

Cons

"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"It is not so stable."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"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."
"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 tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."
 

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."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten and it is yearly."
