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

"The feature set is very comparable with other virtual meeting products."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"Overall, this solution is very good, with only the management and pricing in need of improvement."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"It works, it's reliable."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"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."
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"Additionally, the solution has high performance, and the video and quality of the calls are good."
"The product enables us to create teams for specific projects."
"It’s good to use it internally with colleagues."
"The integration, being able to create groups to share documents that I think is the best, means I can set up a meeting and associate documents to that meeting and everybody can see it."
"The solution is relatively stable."
"Microsoft Teams is a communication platform that enables one-on-one communication as well as group communication, and it is convenient with recordings and AI tools such as automatic transcripts."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Teams is that it is integrated with the Microsoft ecosystem."
"You can ping, chat, and call someone, and at the same time, on the next tab, you can see all the documents related to what someone is referring to."
 

Cons

"It is not so stable."
"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."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"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."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"It is not so stable. They're trying to bring in too many things and make it look really complex."
"The tool has two versions: the desktop application installed on the computer and the web-based version. There are some differences between the two. For example, from the browser, you can pin it on the taskbar without installing the application, similar to Google Chat. You can also use the installed desktop application you download from the web."
"I would say that Microsoft Team invitations from the calendar within the solution could be improved."
"The solution's interface probably needs to be a bit different in terms of cloud sharing."
"I don't know how to upgrade some features for integration. It is difficult when it comes to integration with other platforms in some organizations."
"The tool needs to improve its stability. There are issues when too many people use it at the same time."
"Inability to call into meetings."
"The solution needs to be more stable. I have found Zoom to be more stable than Teams."
"Signing up for a new device for the solution is challenging."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution's cost is high."
"Microsoft Teams is priced less than other solutions, such as Bridge."
"I rate the pricing as a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It is expensive."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."
"You don't buy only the Teams license; you buy it as part of the Microsoft 365 bundle."
"The solution is expensive and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"Microsoft Teams' pricing is fine."
