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

"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"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."
"In general, I find GoToMeeting very simple and easy to use."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"I have no issues with the performance and no issues with the way it works."
"When managing a conference, it is simple and easy."
"It works, it's reliable."
"Overall, the solution is useful for running virtual meetings seamlessly."
"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."
"This is the future of modern business and networking."
"GlobalMeet has been wonderful and a great tool for my company to use."
"I am impressed with the tool's production support."
"GlobalMeet has been a great cost-savings for our company."
"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 believe that the nominal additional cost for GlobalMeet is outweighed by having a reliable conferencing system that never embarrasses the organization with technical issues."
 

Cons

"The solution could always be more secure."
"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."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see the reports available right after my call, instead of 24 hours later."
"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."
"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 have noticed it crashing during some events."
"Recordings-the recording features malfunctions and it only allows you to store recordings for 30 days without an extra fee."
"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."
"We had issues of multiple people getting kicked off the call and/or the online meeting by the afternoon."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"The solution is expensive. I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten and it is yearly."
