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."
"GoToMeeting is an awesome product and it worked perfectly fine for us whether we used it through a browser or as a client."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"We need a meeting thing, hey, go find a meeting thing."
"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.""
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"Overall, this solution is very good, with only the management and pricing in need of improvement."
"It's easy to set up."
"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."
"Their support is great! I have used them a few times and they really get the root of your problems and correct them fast."
"They have a great deployment team."
"Chairperson controls are pretty user-friendly."
"We host 4 webinars a month using Share tools and have reached on some occasions more than 500 participants just by one invitation being shared through social media."
"We have recovered the 6 to 8 (agonizing) hours a month we used to spend with another platform's tech support."
"Recording live webinars and having our recurring demo webinar scheduled out in advance and all synced to Marketo has been indispensable."
"Within the first 6 months of using ReadyTalk, I have saved over $100K in comparison to using other technologies."
 

Cons

"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"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."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"Many issues over time with phone echos and unusable audio."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"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."
"The aesthetics are not great."
"Add animation capabilities!"
"I wish there wasn't the "arbitrary" 150 people cutoff."
"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."
"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
"Prices can always be dropped but overall these rates are competitive with other teleconferencing systems."
 

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