Gavin Tomlins - PeerSpot reviewer
Chief Information Officer at a pharma/biotech company with 11-50 employees
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

"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"The stability and performance of the solution were good."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"Overall, the solution is useful for running virtual meetings seamlessly."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"It can provide good communication with external partners."
"The feature set is very comparable with other virtual meeting products."
"Within the first 6 months of using ReadyTalk, I have saved over $100K in comparison to using other technologies."
"Chairperson controls are pretty user-friendly."
"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."
"Customer Service: World-Class! Technical Support: World-Class!"
"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."
"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
"We have recovered the 6 to 8 (agonizing) hours a month we used to spend with another platform's tech support."
 

Cons

"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"It is not so stable."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"We have had issues with stability."
"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."
"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."
"I wish there wasn't the "arbitrary" 150 people cutoff."
"We'd like the joining process for presenters to be more seamless (and they are working on that)."
"Supporting PPT animations and direct upload of recordings to YouTube would be great."
"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."
"I would love to see a lobby that attendees can wait in prior to starting the conference."
"The aesthetics are not great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Negotiate for discounts."
"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."
