Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones.""We were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface.""The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions.""All of their features are good. They are more or less equivalent to the competition. There's less disturbance, less jitter, the voice is always good even at a low bandwidth.""I can extract the activity and the attendance reports, along with every single question that was asked during the webinar, which is a feature that we highly value."

"Microsoft Teams has helped us improve collaboration through the use of chats, as well as conferencing, voice calls, knowledge management, and maintaining a repository.""It helps our organization with faster communication.""When comparing similar solutions, there aren't many differences between them, but the best feature I would highlight is the quality and stability of their platform.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its newest rolled-out feature, called the town hall meeting feature.""The solution has improved internal collaboration. We can seamlessly interact on a number of documents by projecting them on the screen. This experience is not with internal teams but with clients as well.""The solution has features like good voice clarity, good video quality, and recording.""Microsoft Teams is much more stable than other solutions like Skype for Business.""There is a new Skype feature in Teams that is excellent."

Cons
"The platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it.""Some of my friends also use GoToWebinar to collect clients for affiliate marketing. In those cases, they found some features were missing with respect to some of the competition. And the worst part is the price.""The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers.""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."

More GoToWebinar Cons →

"SharePoint was more robust and customizable earlier.""The solution's feature for scheduling meetings could be faster for Android phones. It should work okay like its desktop version.""We can currently only ping 15, but I'd like to see new features that allow for 20 or 25 pings; that would be good.""This solution is not as popular for companies to use as other solutions making it a disadvantage.""The solution's interface probably needs to be a bit different in terms of cloud sharing.""I'd like Microsoft to start adding more AI functionality into Teams.""Whiteboard tool not embedded in the solution.""Screen sharing sometimes causes the solution to crash."
