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

"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"Overall, this solution is very good, with only the management and pricing in need of improvement."
"GoToMeeting is an awesome product and it worked perfectly fine for us whether we used it through a browser or as a client."
"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.""
"Classic GTM is an amazing product and much better than the competition."
"It's cost-effective."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"Using ReadyTalk allows us to provided effective trainings, makes our employees more productive, and safer by keeping them closer to home."
"Customer Service: World-Class! Technical Support: World-Class!"
"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."
"Using ReadyTalk has strengthened our webinar program at AMA."
"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
"Their support is great! I have used them a few times and they really get the root of your problems and correct them fast."
"Within the first 6 months of using ReadyTalk, I have saved over $100K in comparison to using other technologies."
"Our webinar program was floundering, but after I started working with ReadyTalk, we have been able to increase the number of webinars, these webinars have successively attracted higher quality presenters and have become a real marketing tool for our association."
 

Cons

"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 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 better support for mobile devices."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"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."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"Prices can always be dropped but overall these rates are competitive with other teleconferencing systems."
"A few minor issues along the way."
"The aesthetics are not great."
"Add animation capabilities!"
"I wish there wasn't the "arbitrary" 150 people cutoff."
"You have to download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious."
"You have to schedule operator-assisted audio events 24 hours in advance, if the turn around time could be quicker - it would help with last minute events."
"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
 

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."
