Cons

In those cases, they found some features were missing with respect to some of the competition. And the worst part is the price.""The platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it.""The chat window and using polls is easier in Zoom than compared to GoToWebinar. Make it simpler and easier to publish polls on the fly would improve the solution.""GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."
