Easy setup and an a la carte pricing model
The solution needs a more modern interface. One of our biggest complaints is that we don't have the ability to dynamically push our interface to participants. Adobe Connect is an older technology, but it allows us to push our own layout and design to participants. One of the solution's strengths is that it's web-only but that is also a weakness. It is not a software solution but is browser-based which has its advantages and disadvantages. Zoom has become such a force that its ease of use surpasses ON24.

A scalable and stable solution that offers good production support
I am impressed with the tool's production support.  The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system.  I have been using the product for five years.  I would rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten. I would rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten.…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"In general, the solution provides a good experience, the user interface is friendly and from the user perspective, navigation was simple."
"Friendly user interface and simple navigation."
"The solution works well with third-party integrations."
"The solution works well with third-party integrations."
"GlobalMeet has been a great cost-savings for our company."
"GlobalMeet has been wonderful and a great tool for my company to use."
"I love the Outlook toolbar that GlobalMeet has incorporated, as I use it to create announcements for web meetings, start my audio and web meetings with just a few clicks, have the program call me so I do not need to remember phone numbers and passcodes, see those attending my call, control noise by muting callers, and even record the call for later usage."
"I would absolutely recommend using GlobalMeet; it is a great solution that is easy and really makes meetings more enjoyable."
"Customer Service: Excellent. PGI is always improving and responsive to their customer's needs!"
"I am impressed with the tool's production support."
"We are a remote organization mostly, so all of our team meetings use this platform, allowing us to share screens, record meetings, and include everyone on the call."
"I believe that the nominal additional cost for GlobalMeet is outweighed by having a reliable conferencing system that never embarrasses the organization with technical issues."
 

Cons

"The solution needs a more modern interface."
"The solution needs a more modern interface."
"One thing that could be improved is that there is a 5,000 person limit."
"Bandwidth optimization could be increased."
"I would like the presenter able to view the attendees list at all times without having to pause. The guest login could be a little easier."
"The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."
"The presenter experience can be improved: Increase the presenter interface to show the attendees and chat while in a screen share (not viewable by the others) without having to navigate away from your current window for a smoother presentation."
"Recordings-the recording features malfunctions and it only allows you to store recordings for 30 days without an extra fee."
"When you get a large number of users on GlobalMeet it tends to slow things down a little bit but with the support group at hand things picked back up quickly."
"We had issues of multiple people getting kicked off the call and/or the online meeting by the afternoon."
"I have noticed it crashing during some events."
"I guess if I could recommend is to make sure that the polling tool functions properly as I've dealt with issues in the passed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid $1,800 for five webinars, which is the standard fee. If you require support there is a $300 additional fee, extra attendees is an additional fee, integration is an additional fee, etc. All these extras could add on another $2,500 which was not in our budget."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten and it is yearly."
