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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"It works, it's reliable."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"Overall, the solution is useful for running virtual meetings seamlessly."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"The performance and stability are great; we don't have any issues."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"Chairperson controls are pretty user-friendly."
"Recording live webinars and having our recurring demo webinar scheduled out in advance and all synced to Marketo has been indispensable."
"Customer Service is the best."
"Using ReadyTalk allows us to provided effective trainings, makes our employees more productive, and safer by keeping them closer to home."
"Customer Service: World-Class! Technical Support: World-Class!"
"We rely on webinars to generate leads for our business, so having a reliable solution was key for us."
"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."
"They have a great deployment team."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"We have had issues with stability."
"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."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"There may be more features available in, for example, Cisco WebEx."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"It is not so stable."
"A few minor issues along the way."
"I would love to see a lobby that attendees can wait in prior to starting the conference."
"You have to download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious."
"Add animation capabilities!"
"I wish there wasn't the "arbitrary" 150 people cutoff."
"The aesthetics are not great."
"We'd like the joining process for presenters to be more seamless (and they are working on that)."
"One great feature they can add is the ability to use animations within your slides."
 

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."
