It features low latency, which is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work.
Using GoToMeeting in a meeting-sized conference room is kind of a letdown. The camera is supposed to track the speaker and focus on that person so that they can be on the screen. That feature rarely worked. We tested it thoroughly, so maybe it was an issue with the size of the conference room. It may not be suitable for large conference rooms.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of functionality, it has some interesting features that I haven't seen in other solutions like content rewind where you can see content from the beginning of the meeting even though you weren't there when it commenced."
"I can say firsthand that the reason we work with Avaya as a user and as a business partner is because it's by far the most stable and scalable platform among unified communications platforms in the market."
"I like the share information function."
"Interesting collaboration features."
"We use the solution for team collaboration, document sharing, and video conferencing services. It integrates well with on-premises video conferencing systems and supports chatting through text messaging and instant messaging."
"It is very easy to jump from one communication channel to another one. It is pretty clear and very easy to do. That is the thing that I like the most from Avaya and their suite."
"With GoToMeeting, I like that it works well for seminars and similar events. Finding a platform where multiple people can share their images, split the screen with content, and manage presentations smoothly is uncommon. It allows the presenter to handle questions, answers, and other opinions."
"The stability and performance of the solution were good."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"It's easy to set up."
"Classic GTM is an amazing product and much better than the competition."
"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"It's cost-effective."
"GoToMeeting is a nice program and they have a lot of features."
 

Cons

"The installation could be more straightforward. I would like it to work with other meeting software in the next release."
"Unfortunately, the video conferencing, both audio and video were not as good as Webex or Microsoft."
"Increase in participant numbers reduces quality of video and sound."
"There isn't too much information about Avaya solutions and that could be very much improved. If you want some product support, you have to go through a business partner in Latin America and there aren't many partners."
"Avaya IX Meetings' deployment is complex."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"In the next release, I would for it to incorporate files more efficiently from one computer to another when we covert things and send them out. I'm not sure if it's capable of that."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"The new version crashes my ISP. I don't like the new version."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Avaya IX Meetings' licensing costs are monthly."
"I'm using a subscription. The price is reasonable. It costs about $20 a year."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
