Video library is a great tool and it enables good customization; feels a little antiquated and rusty
I like that recordings are available immediately, it's a great feature. I also appreciate being able to use the video library as a tool, and the integration of an API with other systems we have. We were able to build our own customer portal and then integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface. People thought they were on our platform, but they were using GoToWebinar. Those are unique features that seemed to be very easy for our development team to integrate. I like that aspect of it. It also provides good visibility if somebody had seen a webinar that was useful. It's very easy to push them out. Registration is an easy process as is customization on the back end. We very rarely had technical issues running the webinars so it's a pretty robust platform overall.

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.

Pros

"We use GoToWebinar to do live pitch webinars and sales webinars, we use it to create all of our courses as well, we do training courses and our business pretty much revolves around using this tool for most of what we do."
"We were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."
"GoToWebinar polls help me quickly gauge, upfront, the audience’s interest in topics and their current level of knowledge."
"The most valuable feature is scheduling, which is quite simple and you can schedule a regular session with multiple occurrences."
"Overall, this is a good product that is simple to use but I would rather use Webex for video conferencing."
"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones."
"There's less disturbance, less jitter, and the voice is always good even at a low bandwidth."
"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."

Cons

"GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."
"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."
"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."
"It's a little pricier than the others."
"Having easier access to recorded meetings, being able to download them fast, and playing them back would be helpful."
"We use screen sharing, but sometimes it can be awkward because you might accidentally share the wrong screen, including personal ones. ......Similar to the integration between Google Calendar and Google Meet, having everything in one environment would be much more convenient for scheduling meetings."
"There is insufficient customization."
"I would say the polls need improvement."
"Zoom could improve by having more tools."
"The solution can improve by having the option to be able to lock the primary speaker on high definition the entire time. Additionally, it would be a benefit to have easy Zoom room-like features for individuals using lightboards. There should be quick invitations and integration with Slack and Outlook."
"I'd like for there to be more integrations possible in the future."
"Maybe the UI could be improved a bit."
