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 is a nice program and they have a lot of features."
"Instead of organizing conferences, we are able to do that online, which has been saving us from spending on travel, and from the beginning of this year, because of GoToMeeting, I have canceled I think three or four business trips."
"When managing a conference, it is simple and easy."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"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."
"Zoom's content shareability and chat support are the most valuable features."
"The platform has a solid feature for scheduling short meetings worth 30 minutes."
"Zoom has positively impacted my organization by helping me stay in touch with my customers and my team, allowing us to quickly figure out things in a world where you can't really speak on the phone anymore."
"The collaboration features are good."
"I've never had to use tech support for it. It just works."
"The best features of Zoom include its ease of use due to an intuitive interface, which makes it suitable for both personal and professional use."
"The biggest advantage with Zoom, compared to other similar products, is the simplicity."
"Zoom's most valuable feature is communication."
 

Cons

"There may be more features available in, for example, Cisco WebEx."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"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."
"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 newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"I found it very confusing to set up a meeting."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"Opportunities for improvement for Zoom Workplace Business include the inability to edit follow-up emails sent via Zoom, as there is standard text and very few options to add extra links or other elements."
"In general, the price could be a little cheaper."
"Zoom could improve by having more tools."
"The solution shouldn't charge so much for their services."
"The next version should include features like conflict resolution and Version Control."
"Compared to Skype and Teams, Zoom is missing one feature, and that's the ability to call people."
 

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."
"As an organization, we are paying a license fee for Zoom. Personally, I use the free version."
"I use the tool's free version."
"I am using the free version, so I don't pay anything to use it."
"Zoom is free to use."
"There is a subscription to use the solution."
"The tool's paid version is not that expensive. You need to pay 150 USD per year."
"The personal version is free. However, there are fees required to use the solution for business."
"There are no licensing fees required."
