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.…

The ability to track call flow and history simplifies call management while bridging issues persist
I find the ability to follow the calls, the call flow, the ability to look at the history, and more on the fault-finding tools to be valuable. It improved from a support model perspective. It simplified the licensing, reduced administration since it's based on calls, not based on users. It's about managing the calls and verifying we have enough space as opposed to always adding licenses for endpoints or users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is the future of modern business and networking."
"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."
"I am impressed with the tool's production support."
"GlobalMeet has been a great cost-savings for our company."
"I would absolutely recommend using GlobalMeet; it is a great solution that is easy and really makes meetings more enjoyable."
"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."
"GlobalMeet has been wonderful and a great tool for my company to use."
"I find the ability to follow the calls, the call flow, the ability to look at the history, and more on the fault-finding tools to be valuable."
"It simplified the licensing, reduced administration since it's based on calls, not based on users."
"The most valuable feature is its integration with solutions like Zoom and Teams for endpoints. The picture quality is high, and the conference sessions are stable."
"The solution is stable, there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze."
"The product increases the ability of Teams in cases when we need to collaborate with whiteboards or specific video-coms or audio-coms to install a meeting presence room."
"It does a good job of integrating with other software."
"Some proprietary Polycom features include speaker tracking, acoustic fencing, noise cancellation, active noise cancellation, and noise cancellation AI."
"It's on-prem, which is great."
 

Cons

"The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."
"Recordings-the recording features malfunctions and it only allows you to store recordings for 30 days without an extra fee."
"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."
"I have noticed it crashing during some events."
"I would like to see the reports available right after my call, instead of 24 hours later."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I'd like to see a wider range of use cases for this product."
"Polycom RealPresence Clariti is very bad when moving towards the cloud."
"The idea of the Clariti 2.0 is good, however, they're still moving too slowly."
"Could have a wider range of use cases."
"The customer needs this platform to be a little bit more customized."
"The only issue we have is with some of the bridging stuff, particularly with respect to DTMF and outgoing calls."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten and it is yearly."
"Polycom RealPresence Clariti is definitely more expensive than others in the market because of its high quality."
