"GoToMeeting's low latency is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work. The sound and video quality are solid, and the whiteboarding features were especially useful. The administrative side of it was fairly simple and intuitive to use."
"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"GoToMeeting is an awesome product and it worked perfectly fine for us whether we used it through a browser or as a client."

"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"GoToMeeting breaks down a lot. We're not sure if it's breaking down, but we start getting very erratic community channels. I don't know if it's because of GoToMeeting or if we're not buying enough bandwidth. Maybe it is just the infrastructure that it's running on. I'm not quite sure."
