Information Systems Specialist III at a university with 10,001+ employees
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.
Anna Virtsan - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Project Manager at UkrSibbank
Have streamlined daily workflow and task management but still face inconvenience from recent interface changes and limited integration options
There are challenges and issues in Microsoft Teams, such as after recent updates where group chats were combined with Teams, chats, and groups into one. Users have to work with settings to make it normal again so Teams are separated from chats, and that was a really inconvenient update. Many users ask me to help make it back again to separate Teams and groups from one-to-one chats. That's probably the worst update they've made recently. Additionally, there are some minor features, such as when I work with messages, I don't have an actual forward or quote option when replying to someone's message. I need to be careful not to miss the quote sign. For a lot of people, they are confused about where the quotes option is. I've received a couple of hundred support tickets just regarding this issue. The function to share email to Teams chat doesn't work sometimes due to our compliance policies, and sometimes it would be nice to be able to forward an email to the group chat and have further discussions. Microsoft Teams could improve by being less glitchy because it glitches a lot, leading to undelivered emails and undelivered messages. It would be beneficial if the MS application Shifts, which adds functionality to groups, could be integrated into the groups calendar. Currently, many teams don't use the app because it is not integrated with the general calendar or the Outlook calendar, making it basically a useless application. The platform needs less Copilot and more people. The general Copilot integration into the platform is less glitchy, but Microsoft Teams is quite heavy and glitchy sometimes. Stability depends a lot on compliance restrictions, policies, and quality of internet. Sometimes, when updates are enrolling, the platform glitches, breaks, or shuts down.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Classic GTM is an amazing product and much better than the competition."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"In general, I find GoToMeeting very simple and easy to use."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"GoToMeeting took a very short time to install and it worked without a hitch."
"Compared to Zoom, Microsoft Teams is a very good solution and works well."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The solution is relatively stable."
"Now, several months and a pandemic since my original review, I'm happy to say that the product has improved with better performance and increased functionality."
"In terms of administrating through Office 365, I like the administration panel, the configuration is easy and powerful, and its integration within Microsoft is very good."
"We can share all files on Microsoft Teams directly. It is integrated with Outlook."
"It’s very easy to set up. It doesn't take that long."
"The solution provides very clear conferencing, even on mobile devices."
 

Cons

"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."
"We have had issues with stability."
"The solution must include archive options to save the recorded meetings for future reference. The recording functionality can benefit our team by improving how meetings are recorded and shared. Previously, only admins could record meetings, sometimes leading to issues if recordings were missed or not shared properly. The recent update now allows hosting GoToMeeting sessions with the ability to delegate recording rights to other team members."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"The interface of the solution could use improvement."
"I think they can improve all those segments for channel bulking."
"Microsoft Teams does not have any features that Zoom, Skype, or Webex don't already have."
"The biggest issue with Microsoft Teams is switching identities, especially when communicating with external organizations."
"We occasionally have issues with synchronization between different dates. This aspect of stability needs improvement."
"There needs to be a robust change management platform that offers training to keep the user community aware of upcoming updates and features."
"I don't like the online version of Word and Excel. It skews the layout."
"The only issue is sometimes, when I share my screen, and there's text on it, the compression can make it very blurry. If Teams could solve this problem so that text remains clear during screen sharing, that would be nice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"The tool's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"We need to pay for Microsoft Teams' licenses on a yearly basis."
"It costs around $12 for SharePoint and Teams per user."
"The challenge with Microsoft's licensing model is that the prices are on the higher side, especially for companies that have more users where spending a lot on licenses may be required."
"It is a bit more than moderately expensive."
"I use Teams' free version."
"The tool's price is part of MS Office 365 and I would rate its pricing five out of ten. The tool's licensing costs are monthly."
"The product's pro accounts are cheap."
