Featured Reviews

Steve Abshire - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Heiko Humpert - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows an ease of access to various systems and has a straightforward setup process
The product allows easy access to any system in case of any issues We cannot see the number of monitors working on the system simultaneously. It becomes complicated to switch from one monitor to another for different windows. The product's stability depends on the network's stability in our…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"It's cost-effective."
"This solution is straightforward to use."
"The most valuable features of TeamViewer are the high performance and it is not complicated to use, neither for me nor for the one I'm helping."
"TeamViewer is fast and easy to manipulate."
"It's very easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the remote access connection. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"TeamViewer has been one of the easiest, right off the bat products, that we have employed at the college. We have had no issues. It's been one of the easiest solutions to pick up."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is its ease of use."
"The most valuable feature of TeamViewer is the ability to remote into another device."
 

Cons

"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"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."
"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."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"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 enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"It's pretty limited on the options they have."
"In the next release, I would prefer to have a voice integration and collaboration feature to support multiple teams simultaneously."
"TeamViewer could be more secure."
"I would like to see TeamViewer support multiple platforms."
"It's not the program itself that's an issue, but there is a need for some better documentation on how to use the web portal Management Console. That seems to be a bit lacking in directions, if you aren't paying attention and you don't know what to do. Better documentation would make it a little bit easier to set things up in different groups and share groups between people."
"I didn't like the fact that you had to install a client for remote support. If you didn't install the client, you were very limited in terms of what you could do. For a whole enterprise, it is just not an easy task to install a client on everything. Even if you're using SCCM, it is an undertaking. For transient clients that you don't necessarily support a hundred percent of the time, it would be nice to be able to connect to them and support their issues without having to install something on their machines. In my previous company, we were looking at this solution as being a collaborative tool for the enterprise in terms of video conferencing, calling, and scheduling. They were working on bringing a bunch of products together to make their suite a little more integrated, but it really wasn't at the point where we wanted it to be in terms of integration. We looked at it, reviewed it, and tested it out a bit. We then decided to go with Microsoft Teams. It has the clunkiness of having separate modules that aren't totally integrated. There are different methods for doing different things, which makes it a little bit more complicated. There should be the same way whether you are doing remote support or just calls."
"There is a paid version of this solution with more features available. However, they should provide more free features to the user, such as factor authentication."
"The installation and the update agent could improve."
 

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."
"There is a free and paid version of this solution. I am currently using the free version."
"TeamViewer is $600 or $700 per port per year..."
"The version of the solution we are using is free."
"TeamViewer was willing to give us a one-year package. Whereas, a lot of the other companies that we explored were paid by the month or quarter. It's just easier for our finance people at the college if we can make a one-time yearly payment."
"We have an annual subscription that is just under $1,900 with no additional costs. We get these promotions about upgrades and stuff like that, but we haven't had a need to add more seats. Users can also use TeamViewer for home use with a non-commercial free license."
"We are using the standard free version of TeamViewer."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"We are using the free version of TeamViewer."
