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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Classic GTM is an amazing product and much better than the competition."
"It's cost-effective."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"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."
"The performance and stability are great; we don't have any issues."
"The stability and performance of the solution were good."
"In general, I find GoToMeeting very simple and easy to use."
"Overall, the solution is useful for running virtual meetings seamlessly."
"ReadyTalk helped my organization deliver high-quality training webinars to small business owners around the country."
"Using ReadyTalk allows us to provided effective trainings, makes our employees more productive, and safer by keeping them closer to home."
"Within the first 6 months of using ReadyTalk, I have saved over $100K in comparison to using other technologies."
"We have recovered the 6 to 8 (agonizing) hours a month we used to spend with another platform's tech support."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Also excellent."
"Customer Service: World-Class! Technical Support: World-Class!"
"Customer Service: Excellent. Have been able to help me determine when to use the operator assisted service and even demo-ed this experience for me in order to make more informed decision."
"Their support is great! I have used them a few times and they really get the root of your problems and correct them fast."
 

Cons

"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"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."
"There may be more features available in, for example, Cisco WebEx."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."

"One great feature they can add is the ability to use animations within your slides."

"A few minor issues along the way."
"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
"You have to download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious."
"The aesthetics are not great."
 

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."
