Gavin Tomlins - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Information Officer at a pharma/biotech company with 11-50 employees
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"The stability and performance of the solution were good."
"The feature set is very comparable with other virtual meeting products."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"It can provide good communication with external partners."
"The performance and stability are great; we don't have any issues."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"We rely on webinars to generate leads for our business, so having a reliable solution was key for us."
"ReadyTalk helped my organization deliver high-quality training webinars to small business owners around the country."
"Recording live webinars and having our recurring demo webinar scheduled out in advance and all synced to Marketo has been indispensable."
"I utilize ReadyTalk to train roughly 300 people monthly, my colleagues use it to host staff meetings, to supplement coursework from our online university, and to deliver organizational content to our constituent base."
"We have recovered the 6 to 8 (agonizing) hours a month we used to spend with another platform's tech support."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Have been able to help me determine when to use the operator assisted service and even demo-ed this experience for me in order to make more informed decision."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Also excellent."
"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
 

Cons

"The new version crashes my ISP. I don't like the new version."
"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."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"Many issues over time with phone echos and unusable audio."
"In the next release, I would for it to incorporate files more efficiently from one computer to another when we covert things and send them out. I'm not sure if it's capable of that."
"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."
"A few minor issues along the way."
"You have to schedule operator-assisted audio events 24 hours in advance, if the turn around time could be quicker - it would help with last minute events."
"Compared to other webinar platforms, ReadyTalk's pricing is a bit high."
"I would love to see a lobby that attendees can wait in prior to starting the conference."
"The aesthetics are not great."
"You have to download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious."
"One great feature they can add is the ability to use animations within your slides."
"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
