Clunky with poor interface, lacks sufficient functionalities; it did reduce need for in-person meetings
We're phasing out the use of GoToMeeting because of some of its deficiencies. It lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations. The user interface is quite poor and needs to be reworked and the product is quite clunky in comparison to its competitors. It currently lacks the ability for sharing collaborative materials during a meeting. We also found that the ability to switch between audio and video configurations isn't as intuitive as in other applications. I generally do 20-30 hours of video conferencing a day, so it makes a difference to have these features. It doesn't integrate as easily into phone systems as well as other organizations and it doesn't integrate as easy into instant messaging and collaboration tools or into software solutions. In general, some of the functionalities need to be improved.

Unified communication has transformed our collaboration and consistently boosts project delivery
The best features Zoom Workplace Business offers include screen sharing, clear video and audio, online meetings, large-scale events, call management, mobile apps, unified communication platform, and collaboration. The feature I find myself using the most is an AI-powered collaboration platform that is used to streamline communication, increase employee engagement, optimize in-person time, and improve productivity. The screen sharing is very effective and a helpful tool where we are able to screen share with our colleagues and discuss different tasks and project management ideas. Collaboration has become very efficient, and remote working has also become efficient and prevalent in my organization. We have been able to save a lot of time using Zoom Workplace Business. It has been a game-changer. Zoom Workplace Business elevates the experience with Zoom AI Companion included at no additional cost. It is designed to help employees be more productive, collaborate better, enhance their skills, and unlock time savings.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"With GoToMeeting, I like that it works well for seminars and similar events. Finding a platform where multiple people can share their images, split the screen with content, and manage presentations smoothly is uncommon. It allows the presenter to handle questions, answers, and other opinions."
"GoToMeeting's low latency is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work, the sound and video quality are solid, and the whiteboarding features were especially useful."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"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."
"There is a free version of the solution."
"Zoom is scalable. We have about 10,000 users at my company."
"It is very easy to use, and the utilization of the network is very good."
"Zoom Workplace Business offers unlimited time with the business plan, which allows us to keep our Zoom room open all day."
"Zoom has a variety of functions, including setting up virtual offices and virtual office hours. It's a stable and scalable platform with good chat support."
"With the inception of Zoom, we are able to collaborate anytime, anywhere, any day."
"I don't have any issue with the pricing."
"It is a game-changer for virtual communication, and it is incredibly user-friendly, making it a go-to choice for remote meetings, webinars, and online collaboration."
 

Cons

"The new version crashes my ISP. I don't like the new version."
"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."
"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 interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"I would like to see Zoom integrated with other third-party services."
"Zoom's drawing tools could be better integrated."
"The paid version is quite expensive; there's no middle ground between free and paid."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"I don't know whose product is at fault, however, if you've ever had to go from Zoom to Teams to WebEx, it really messes around with your device settings."
"I like to see the whole screen and sometimes, it is difficult to hide the speaker's picture or my own picture from the forefront of the Zoom screen."
"The next version should include features like conflict resolution and Version Control."
"Zoom could improve by having more tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable. I think we get discounts as an organization."
"We are using the free version of the solution."
"The solution is affordable."
"We have an account but we are also using the free version."
"There is a free version available with time limits."
"I am using the free version, so I don't pay anything to use it."
"The price of Zoom is a bit expensive."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee for Zoom, which is expensive in our part of the world."
