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.

Unified communication has transformed our collaboration and consistently boosts project delivery
The best features Zoom Workplace Business offers include screen sharing, clear video and audio, online meetings, large-scale events, call management, mobile apps, unified communication platform, and collaboration. The feature I find myself using the most is an AI-powered collaboration platform that is used to streamline communication, increase employee engagement, optimize in-person time, and improve productivity. The screen sharing is very effective and a helpful tool where we are able to screen share with our colleagues and discuss different tasks and project management ideas. Collaboration has become very efficient, and remote working has also become efficient and prevalent in my organization. We have been able to save a lot of time using Zoom Workplace Business. It has been a game-changer. Zoom Workplace Business elevates the experience with Zoom AI Companion included at no additional cost. It is designed to help employees be more productive, collaborate better, enhance their skills, and unlock time savings.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When managing a conference, it is simple and easy."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"GoToMeeting is an awesome product and it worked perfectly fine for us whether we used it through a browser or as a client."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"Overall, this solution is very good, with only the management and pricing in need of improvement."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"The feature set is very comparable with other virtual meeting products."
"The most valuable features of Zoom are the very stable video and audio, the quality of the voice is good, and it is very easy to connect to the sessions. This is also the reason why we use Zoom."
"The stability is great."
"The ability to make video calls is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"Zoom has a variety of functions, including setting up virtual offices and virtual office hours. It's a stable and scalable platform with good chat support."
"I have found Zoom to be stable and it has good performance."
"Zoom is quite easy to use and user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Zoom are the quality of the video is better than other solutions and they have a recording option that is useful."
"The most valuable features are the quality, the number of people that you can have in a meeting, and the interface."
 

Cons

"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"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."
"There may be more features available in, for example, Cisco WebEx."
"GoToMeeting breaks down a lot. We're not sure if it's breaking down, but we start getting very erratic community channels. I don't know if it's because of GoToMeeting or if we're not buying enough bandwidth. Maybe it is just the infrastructure that it's running on. I'm not quite sure."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"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 would like to see them develop end-to-end encryption, like WhatsApp. That would improve the security of the software."
"Zoom definitely has to be more secure, but I can't think of any anything else to change."
"What could be better or what could be improved in Zoom is allowing us to log in and connect to people through Zoom Phone."
"In the free version, you are restricted to just 40-minute meetings, however, it is free, and therefore you can't ask for too much. It's still okay."
"We have had some quality and lagging issues with video regardless of connection quality."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"I do not like Zoom as much as Microsoft Teams. I am not sure what is better about Zoom."
"Zoom is more expensive than others."
 

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."
"I have been using the free version of Zoom."
"I believe that all of their licenses are purchased, so that they may use the solution for their teaching purposes."
"Zoom has a less expensive subscription than other solutions such as Cisco Webex."
"The personal version that I was using is available free of charge."
"Zoom is available with an open license that can support meetings of up to 40 minutes."
"The annual price of approximately $200 for the solution is reasonable."
"I am using the free version."
"Zoom is free."
