Featured Reviews

Steve Abshire - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Arun Srivastav - PeerSpot reviewer
Seamless presentation and collaboration enhance organizational productivity
There are three main areas for improvement: Firstly, AI capabilities should be integrated into Microsoft Teams to provide better transcript services and offer multiple language support. Secondly, it should allow participants to remain visible during presentations, enhancing interaction. Lastly, it needs broader integration capabilities with other products, like Salesforce, which is currently limited.

"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"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."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"It's easy to set up."

Cons

"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"I don't know whether it is an issue or not but my boss was asking me if person one is in one room, and another person wanted to use another room at the same time, I don't know whether it is possible."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"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."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."

"The solution's stability can be better."

"In our experience, pricing may differ from country to country, with some regions offering more favorable rates due to local payment arrangements."
