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

"You can use the Cisco Meeting Server to set up conference calls and virtual meetings."
"In summary, this is a good product that is very easy to use, and I recommend it."
"The UI is user-friendly and very good overall."
"Cisco Meeting Server has the best technical support, so I'd rate support a five out of five."
"What I like most about Cisco Meeting Server is its quick management. The solution also has a straightforward configuration."
"Cisco Meeting Server is an easy and less complex solution."
"The share screen option available during conferences is one of the best features of Cisco Meeting Server."
"You can use the Cisco Meeting Server to set up conference calls and virtual meetings. Those are the two primary functions of Meeting Server. Most people in the company are using Microsoft Teams, so we only use Meeting Server when we have an internal meeting for all staff."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"It can provide good communication with external partners."
"It works, it's reliable."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"In general, I find GoToMeeting very simple and easy to use."
 

Cons

"What would make Cisco Meeting Server better is integrating it with Zoom and Teams so that you can connect or make a call through any of the two third-party solutions."
"In Cisco Meeting Server, GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"This is a difficult solution to install and it should be made easier."
"Cisco Meeting Server should include a feature to control another user's screen during a remote session."
"A few features are missing on the Meetings app, like a recording function."
"A few features are missing on the Meetings app, like a recording function. My understanding is that you need to buy a separate recording solution. It's modular, so you have to enable some functions if you want to use them. For example, we had to enable the Mood function. Recording is the primary feature we'd like to see in the app."
"We have had issues with stability."
"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 too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"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."
"It is not so stable. They're trying to bring in too many things and make it look really complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, Cisco Meeting Server is a product that falls in a mid-range category."
"Cisco Meeting Server has reasonable licensing costs."
"Licensing fees are billed yearly."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"Negotiate for discounts."
