Featured Reviews

Gavin Tomlins - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
GouravSuri - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use and offers a good UI to users
In terms of the product's security features, the solution allows you to have team meetings, and you can also use it for remote access and screen-sharing capabilities. TeamViewer is typically like any other team collaboration software. I recommend the product to others since it is a good product for collaboration purposes. There are no connectivity challenges associated with the product. In terms of benefits, I would say that it is a good tool for collaboration, productivity, and virtual work as it saves a lot of commute time for the employees. I rate the tool a 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

"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"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.""
"I think all the features are very useful, especially the rooms features and we present with screen sharing. Instead of organizing conferences, we are able to do that online. This has been saving us from spending on travel. From the beginning of this year, because of GoToMeeting, I have canceled I think three or four business trips."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"It saves trips to customer sites, which saves time. I am able to get in there remotely and fix things."
"It is easy to use and has a pretty good UI."
"This solution is straightforward to use."
"The most valuable feature has been the ability to give control to others for support purposes."
"The implementation is quite straightforward."
"The solution is a very good tool for monitoring and for remote access. Anyone is able to use it, it is simple to use."
"TeamViewer has a good interface."
"The most valuable feature is you do not need to know the Windows username and password to connect and see the staff screen."
 

Cons

"Manageability needs to be improved."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"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 could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't 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."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"The solution could be improved by enhancing the use of the mobile version to be used on phones."
"Considering the earlier versions of the product, I think TeamViewer used to slow down the systems."
"If were to I put myself in the seat of a small business owner, I would prefer TeamViewer to be more of a pay-once-and-own-it solution, rather than paying via a subscription model (although I am using the free version). Only annual subscriptions are available. It makes paying for it the first time seem a little daunting."
"TeamViewer has a legacy and may not be using the latest UI trends."
"A feature that they could add is chat with sound to talk."
"They could give more information about using certain kinds of applications for secure transactions, such as secure file transfers."
"Support for mobile devices from Linux has been missing since the Native client was rolled out. This was a nice option, especially when trying to walk somebody who was struggling to understand something on their phone."
"It should have ability to display notes in the computer list."
 

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."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"It has probably saved us several thousands of dollars because we have quick access anywhere. We don't have to worry about finding people onsite or arranging conference calls. We also save time and money with it because we don't have to send somebody onsite to troubleshoot."
"TeamViewer offers a free version to try. Download and give it a shot. See what it's like and if you like it, then buy the license for it."
"There is no license needed to use TeamViewer."
"The cost of the licenses depends on how you buy them. They just had a buy one get one free deal going, and they do that every once in a while. Where you buy one license, and they will give you the second one free, or you can try to get discounts. Most of our licenses that we have we tried to do something like that just to save some money."
"I am using the free version of TeamViewer. There is a subscription fee to use the premium features."
"I used the free version of TeamViewer."
"It does what I need it to do but I think it's expensive. It wasn't easy for me to get approval from the company to get it... It's costing us about $700 a year, per license."
