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

"In general, I find GoToMeeting very simple and easy to use."
"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."
"It was just chosen because somebody at the company said, "We need a meeting thing. Hey, go find a meeting thing." It wasn't me, but somebody else in the organization was like, "Alright, let's use GoToMeeting. It's free.""
"It works, it's reliable."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"GoToMeeting is an awesome product and it worked perfectly fine for us whether we used it through a browser or as a client."
"We don't have any link issues whether you use it to browser, or use it as a client. It worked perfectly fine for us."
"Their support is great! I have used them a few times and they really get the root of your problems and correct them fast."
"They have a great deployment team."
"We host 4 webinars a month using Share tools and have reached on some occasions more than 500 participants just by one invitation being shared through social media."
"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Also excellent."
"I utilize ReadyTalk to train roughly 300 people monthly, my colleagues use it to host staff meetings, to supplement coursework from our online university, and to deliver organizational content to our constituent base."
"We rely on webinars to generate leads for our business, so having a reliable solution was key for us."
"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
"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."
 

Cons

"We have had issues with stability."
"It is not so stable."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"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."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"The aesthetics are not great."
"We'd like the joining process for presenters to be more seamless (and they are working on that)."
"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
"Compared to other webinar platforms, ReadyTalk's pricing is a bit high."
"One great feature they can add is the ability to use animations within your slides."
"You have to download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious."
"Prices can always be dropped but overall these rates are competitive with other teleconferencing systems."
"Add animation capabilities!"
 

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."
