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.

A scalable and stable solution that offers good production support
I am impressed with the tool's production support.  The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system.  I have been using the product for five years.  I would rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten. I would rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It works, it's reliable."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"The stability and performance of the solution were good."
"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."
"The performance and stability are great; we don't have any issues."
"It can provide good communication with external partners."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"Overall, this solution is very good, with only the management and pricing in need of improvement."
"I would absolutely recommend using GlobalMeet; it is a great solution that is easy and really makes meetings more enjoyable."
"I love the Outlook toolbar that GlobalMeet has incorporated, as I use it to create announcements for web meetings, start my audio and web meetings with just a few clicks, have the program call me so I do not need to remember phone numbers and passcodes, see those attending my call, control noise by muting callers, and even record the call for later usage."
"I am impressed with the tool's production support."
"I believe that the nominal additional cost for GlobalMeet is outweighed by having a reliable conferencing system that never embarrasses the organization with technical issues."
"This is the future of modern business and networking."
"GlobalMeet has been wonderful and a great tool for my company to use."
"Customer Service: Excellent. PGI is always improving and responsive to their customer's needs!"
"We are a remote organization mostly, so all of our team meetings use this platform, allowing us to share screens, record meetings, and include everyone on the call."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is not so stable. They're trying to bring in too many things and make it look really complex."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"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."
"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."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"The new version crashes my ISP. I don't like the new version."
"I guess if I could recommend is to make sure that the polling tool functions properly as I've dealt with issues in the passed."
"I have noticed it crashing during some events."
"The presenter experience can be improved: Increase the presenter interface to show the attendees and chat while in a screen share (not viewable by the others) without having to navigate away from your current window for a smoother presentation."
"I would like the presenter able to view the attendees list at all times without having to pause. The guest login could be a little easier."
"When you get a large number of users on GlobalMeet it tends to slow things down a little bit but with the support group at hand things picked back up quickly."
"The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."
"I would like to see the reports available right after my call, instead of 24 hours later."
"We had issues of multiple people getting kicked off the call and/or the online meeting by the afternoon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten and it is yearly."
