Featured Reviews

Steve Abshire - PeerSpot reviewer
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
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

"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"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.""
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"I am impressed with the tool's production support."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"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."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"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."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten and it is yearly."
