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.

Utilizing versatile features for efficient personal and work meetings
Zoom offers a number of interesting and valuable features. One of the most interesting is the ability to share only audio and provide ambient music without sharing a screen. The breakout room feature is much more developed than other solutions, allowing users to stay in the same meeting and move to different rooms and back to the main room. The sharing features are great for projecting people who should be in focus. Another valuable feature is the virtual entrance, which uses a username and password recognized by the Zoom system, showing the person's full name and ID. Additionally, the use of video and a good fixed background improves visibility compared to other applications. These features differentiate Zoom from others.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"It works, it's reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"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's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"Webex's main feature is you get 1,000 participants per meeting by default and can join from 75 meeting units. You don't have to buy additional licenses."
"As compared to Zoom, I like its user interface more. It is much easier to use, and I also find it more stable."
"One of the most valuable features of Webex was that it was easy to use and there were no hassles."
"What I value most about Webex is its stability compared to other solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Webex is if you are using the Cisco hardware it is simple to integrate. Additionally, it can integrate well with mobile devices."
"The stability of the solution is the most important feature."
"A valuable feature of Webex is that it's good for direct communication. In general, I'm satisfied."
"Integrates well with other Cisco solutions."
"The feature I really like is the summary provided by AI."
"Easy to use whenever and wherever necessary."
"Zoom is easy to set up meetings, and the features work well."
"It is a stable product."
"The user interface is simple."
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable features of Zoom for enhanced team collaboration are its high video quality, comprehensive meeting features, and reliable performance."
"like Zoom because it's a very simple program. We have more success using Zoom with clients, partners, and everybody else. Everybody seems to be able to get Zoom. Some people struggle with Teams."
 

Cons

"Manageability needs to be improved."
"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 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 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 sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"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."
"It is not so stable."
"Nowadays, it is hard to set up meetings using Webex since it has become a complicated process."
"I would like to see additional online chat capabilities"
"The product's user interface is an area with shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Everything just needs to be shrunk down without sacrificing quality so that not so much bandwidth is needed in order to hold meetings effectively."
"It would be better if I could just join meetings directly on the web without extra downloads and steps."
"There could be more some AI-related features."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The solution's initial setup process is lengthy."
"Zoom should also include features like the automatic transcribing of conversations."
"When you are connected to one device and you're going to log into another one, Zoom should ask you to transfer without having to disconnect you."
"The voice quality could improve, and there are issues with the background."
"It is difficult to see and control whether you're muted or not, so the interface should be improved."
"We use screen sharing, but sometimes it can be awkward because you might accidentally share the wrong screen, including personal ones. ......Similar to the integration between Google Calendar and Google Meet, having everything in one environment would be much more convenient for scheduling meetings."
"The chat functionality in Zoom could improve."
"Whiteboarding would allow me to utilize the screen to draw something, explain, and write something."
"The pricing could be improved."
