Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""We were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface.""This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones.""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.""The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions."

"The stream is very smooth. That's what I like about Webex. Other video conference solutions like Zoom sometimes freeze and get buggy, but Webex doesn't.""Webex's clarity is good for video and audio. I have found it better than Zoom. We can receive notifications of meetings which is helpful.""We use Webex for virtual meetings.""What we like about Webex is that it is a hosted solution, so there is no demand for us to invest in hardware, skill, or manpower to maintain our cloud meeting capability.""The chat and meeting scheduling features in Webex are most valuable for our team's productivity.""Webex has one-click calling, which makes things easier. You click, and it automatically dials in to the meetings without pressing additional buttons. It's easy for people who aren't on WebEx. That was helpful.""Stable and scalable solution for video conferencing, virtual meetings, and collaboration, with top-notch technical support.""It's easy to dial the numbers and the process of connecting a call is very intuitive."

Cons
"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers.""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.""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.""GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."

"Webex's translation feature could work more accurately.""Webex could improve the calling feature. It would be helpful to be able to call outside the IP environment.""The product's user interface is an area with shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required.""Nowadays, it is hard to set up meetings using Webex since it has become a complicated process.""My company does a lot of international calls. For some countries they do not have their local number to call in, all they have is a 1-800 number which is quite hard to find. If they want to improve they should set up the local number to call in. What would be beneficial.""I was in a meeting on the free version where there were no controls. You couldn't mute somebody or put it in dedicated speaker mode. It was an important meeting, and because of the lack of an ability to control who the speakers were, we got a version of a heckler. Well, it wasn't really a heckler per se. It was just somebody who thinks they know everything.""The connectivity can be improved because sometimes when we talk to clients that are overseas the connection is kind of poor. The video will be pixelated and we will need to turn off the video because the voice gets delayed.""This service could be improved by implementing integration with Microsoft platforms. If you are on a call with Webex, you can get a call from Teams or Skype for Business without receiving any indication."
