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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When managing a conference, it is simple and easy."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"In general, I find GoToMeeting very simple and easy to use."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"Recording live webinars and having our recurring demo webinar scheduled out in advance and all synced to Marketo has been indispensable."
"Using ReadyTalk has strengthened our webinar program at AMA."
"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."
"Customer Service is the best."
"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."
"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
"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."
 

Cons

"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"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."
"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 interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"It is not so stable. They're trying to bring in too many things and make it look really complex."
"There may be more features available in, for example, Cisco WebEx."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"We have had issues with stability."
"I wish there wasn't the "arbitrary" 150 people cutoff."
"One great feature they can add is the ability to use animations within your slides."
"Prices can always be dropped but overall these rates are competitive with other teleconferencing systems."
"You have to download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious."
"The aesthetics are not great."
"A few minor issues along the way."
"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
"Supporting PPT animations and direct upload of recordings to YouTube would be great."
 

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."
