Featured Reviews

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.

Is excellent for video conferencing, with a very high usage rate
There are a few technical aspects that might need assistance, such as enabling Vidyo inside a web browser as opposed to using it via an SDK in an app. Occasionally, issues can arise when using video conferencing in third-party applications. Feedback from developers could be beneficial for improving these areas.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"Instead of organizing conferences, we are able to do that online, which has been saving us from spending on travel, and from the beginning of this year, because of GoToMeeting, I have canceled I think three or four business trips."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting."
"We need a meeting thing, hey, go find a meeting thing."
"In general, I find GoToMeeting very simple and easy to use."
"There is no reason not to use cloud-based solutions these days (such as Zoom, Fuze, GoToMeeting or even Lync/Office365)."
"I think for the companies with remote offices, they will experience a serious saving on travel costs."
"Vidyo is excellent for video conferencing, with a very high usage rate alongside Epic Solutions."
 

Cons

"It is not so stable."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"In the next release, I would like for it to incorporate file transfers more efficiently from one computer to another when we covert things and send them out."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"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."
"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."
"There may be more features available in, for example, Cisco WebEx."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"As a partner, I don't have direct access to Vidyo support document resourses."
"There are a few technical aspects that might need assistance, such as enabling Vidyo inside a web browser as opposed to using it via an SDK in an app."
 

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."
