Featured Reviews

Steve Abshire - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Wajid Khattak - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"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."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"It works, it's reliable."
"The solution is very valuable for conference calls, as a lot of businesses are switching from work-from-home."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The product saves time and money."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to integrate with multiple products."
"One of the most valuable features of Webex was that it was easy to use and there were no hassles."
"As compared to Zoom, I like its user interface more. It is much easier to use, and I also find it more stable."
"The product is quite secure. Other products, such as Zoom, have had security issues raised in the media."
"The most valuable features of Webex are the depth of the tone and the quality of the picture. I find them better than Teams or Zoom."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"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 enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"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."
"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."
"This solution would be much better if we could install an endpoint and have centralized management."
"It is not so easy to obtain information in areas like the number of participants, comments, and file transfers inside the application."
"There are too many issues with getting people connected to meetings."
"No private chat option."
"The solution could improve by adding a survey or form feature to show for the users to be able to vote or answer any questions."
"I think Webex could be improved by simplifying the process. For instance, they could make it easier to join meetings by providing a direct meeting link without requiring sign-ups or logins. While security is important, finding a balance with user-friendliness is key."
"Webex is a very demanding application, so it requires a very heavy bandwidth."
"The GUI of Webex should be improved. The connectivity for putting people inside the meetings or entering meetings is to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"Webex is very expensive."
"The price of the license depends a lot on the type of service required and whether it is for the entire company or only for a few users."
"I use the solution for free because I don't use the solution's enterprise version."
"We purchase the product's yearly license. It is expensive."
"This is an expensive product compared to Teams and it should be cheaper."
"The price of the license for the solution could be less expensive."
"My organization took care of the licensing. I'm guessing they did some subscription cycle, but I used the free version."
"There is a need to pay the licensing charges to use Webex Enterprise Edition."
