Clunky with poor interface, lacks sufficient functionalities; it did reduce need for in-person meetings
We're phasing out the use of GoToMeeting because of some of its deficiencies. It lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations. The user interface is quite poor and needs to be reworked and the product is quite clunky in comparison to its competitors. It currently lacks the ability for sharing collaborative materials during a meeting. We also found that the ability to switch between audio and video configurations isn't as intuitive as in other applications. I generally do 20-30 hours of video conferencing a day, so it makes a difference to have these features. It doesn't integrate as easily into phone systems as well as other organizations and it doesn't integrate as easy into instant messaging and collaboration tools or into software solutions. In general, some of the functionalities need to be improved.

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

"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"It's easy to set up."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"I think all the features are very useful, especially the rooms features and we present with screen sharing. Instead of organizing conferences, we are able to do that online. This has been saving us from spending on travel. From the beginning of this year, because of GoToMeeting, I have canceled I think three or four business trips."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"Overall, the solution is useful for running virtual meetings seamlessly."
"This is the future of modern business and networking."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"I would absolutely recommend using GlobalMeet; it is a great solution that is easy and really makes meetings more enjoyable."
"GlobalMeet has been a great cost-savings for our company."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is not so stable. They're trying to bring in too many things and make it look really complex."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"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."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"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."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"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."
"We had issues of multiple people getting kicked off the call and/or the online meeting by the afternoon."
"The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."
"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."
"I have noticed it crashing during some events."
"I would like to see the reports available right after my call, instead of 24 hours later."
"Recordings-the recording features malfunctions and it only allows you to store recordings for 30 days without an extra fee."
 

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