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.

A scalable and stable solution that offers good production support

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

Pros

"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.""
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"It's easy to set up."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"I am impressed with the tool's production support."
 

Cons

"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."

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."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten and it is yearly."
