Find out in this report how the two Virtual Meetings solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"I think all the features are very useful, especially the rooms features and we present with screen sharing. Instead of organizing conferences, we are able to do that online. This has been saving us from spending on travel. From the beginning of this year, because of GoToMeeting, I have canceled I think three or four business trips."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"It works, it's reliable."
"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."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"It's easy to set up."
"The solution’s video quality is fine."
"The Microsoft tech support are very good. They get back to you. I log a support call, and I usually have someone on the phone within a half an hour, so it is pretty good."
"I have found Skype for Business to be stable."
"We chose Skype for Business after other colleagues suggested that we give it a try. It has served us well."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"Skype for Business is good for meetings and instant messaging."
"The solution is easy to use and includes the ability to text message, video and voice chat, and transfer files."
"We really like the screen sharing tool. The user experience is smooth, and user-friendly."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"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 newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"There are issues with the bandwidth, particularly for external meetings,"
"Skype for Business is good for the PCs with higher bandwidth, but an improvement is required for low bandwidth usage."
"Going forward, I would like to see better call quality and reliability."
"We are looking for a more collaborative tool, not only in terms of virtual meetings but also for teams to collaborate, share a document, work together, and all those types of things."
"Sometimes the connection crashes, which is understandable if you are traveling. But, it would be nice if this could be stabilized somehow."
"Skype's overall connectivity functionality or ability is one area with room for improvement."
"The tool needs to have a dynamic file updating feature, so people you share a file with could update the file dynamically, all at once, all at the same time."
"I feel bored with the look and feel of the tool, so it should be changed."
