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

"We need a meeting thing, hey, go find a meeting thing."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"Overall, this solution is very good, with only the management and pricing in need of improvement."
"With GoToMeeting, I like that it works well for seminars and similar events. Finding a platform where multiple people can share their images, split the screen with content, and manage presentations smoothly is uncommon. It allows the presenter to handle questions, answers, and other opinions."
"GoToMeeting is a nice program and they have a lot of features."
"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."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"GlobalMeet has been wonderful and a great tool for my company to use."
"We are a remote organization mostly, so all of our team meetings use this platform, allowing us to share screens, record meetings, and include everyone on the call."
"I am impressed with the tool's production support."
"I love the Outlook toolbar that GlobalMeet has incorporated, as I use it to create announcements for web meetings, start my audio and web meetings with just a few clicks, have the program call me so I do not need to remember phone numbers and passcodes, see those attending my call, control noise by muting callers, and even record the call for later usage."
"I would absolutely recommend using GlobalMeet; it is a great solution that is easy and really makes meetings more enjoyable."
"I believe that the nominal additional cost for GlobalMeet is outweighed by having a reliable conferencing system that never embarrasses the organization with technical issues."
"This is the future of modern business and networking."
"GlobalMeet has been a great cost-savings for our company."
 

Cons

"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"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."
"It is not so stable."
"Many issues over time with phone echos and unusable audio."
"It is not so stable. They're trying to bring in too many things and make it look really complex."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"I have noticed it crashing during some events."
"I would like to see the reports available right after my call, instead of 24 hours later."
"I would like the presenter able to view the attendees list at all times without having to pause. The guest login could be a little easier."
"The presenter experience can be improved: Increase the presenter interface to show the attendees and chat while in a screen share (not viewable by the others) without having to navigate away from your current window for a smoother presentation."
"I guess if I could recommend is to make sure that the polling tool functions properly as I've dealt with issues in the passed."
"When you get a large number of users on GlobalMeet it tends to slow things down a little bit but with the support group at hand things picked back up quickly."
"The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."
"We had issues of multiple people getting kicked off the call and/or the online meeting by the afternoon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten and it is yearly."
