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

"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"It's cost-effective."
"It works, it's reliable."
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"I am impressed with the tool's production support."
 

Cons

"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"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."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"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."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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