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.

Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities
I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We need a meeting thing, hey, go find a meeting thing."
"Overall, the solution is useful for running virtual meetings seamlessly."
"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."
"The performance and stability are great; we don't have any issues."
"GoToMeeting's low latency is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work. The sound and video quality are solid, and the whiteboarding features were especially useful. The administrative side of it was fairly simple and intuitive to use."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting."
"In general, I find GoToMeeting very simple and easy to use."
"GoToMeeting is an awesome product and it worked perfectly fine for us whether we used it through a browser or as a client."
"My business is connected to supporting computers; of course, it helps me a lot."
"Better than TeamViewer and useful for fixing problems remotely."
"The product is really easy to deploy."
"The product works well and is quite reliable."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good, bandwidth is excellent."
"ScreenConnect is our backup solution for remote access."
"Being able to quickly remotely access other computers from anywhere, supporting our other users is simple and quick to do."
"Ease of use is good, it's very easy to use, very easy to understand."
 

Cons

"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"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."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"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."
"The only issues I’ve dealt with are display issues when the end user has a dual monitor setup."
"On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server. Much more limitations exist on Linux deployments."
"An option I would want would be to have a shortcut on my desktop, to click on it, and immediately be able to select which system I wanted to access and which computer in that system I wanted to access, and have fewer steps that I would have to physically go through to do so."
"The previous version of ScreenConnect was so old that it was blocked by Windows Defender, SmartScreen, and most anti-virus applications."
"The only slowdown I've seen is when quality settings are set to high - and this is primarily on Windows 10 machines that show a picture on the lock-screen prior to the password entry screen."
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."
"My immediate supervisor said it was lacking in documentation and had too many words to describe how to use the product when crafting instructions to send to our third party consultant who was going to connect to our system behind our firewall."
"The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless."
 

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."
"We pay an annual licensing fee."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"It is priced well and it is still a great value. Although I have been reading a lot about Splashtop. They are getting pretty competitive on their pricing, including a fairly easy to use remote support for mobile applications, like iOS and Android."
"I think the product's pricing is a good value. I paid $600 a year and that was fine for me. It was about $50 a month. Licensing is all very straightforward."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
