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

"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.""
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"It's cost-effective."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"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."
"The product is scalable."
"The most valuable features of Zoom for enhanced team collaboration are its high video quality, comprehensive meeting features, and reliable performance."
"Easy to use whenever and wherever necessary."
"Zoom helps you to share your screen and allows someone to take remote control during Zoom meetings. Compared with other platforms like Teams and Webex, it's on par."
"Zoom's content shareability and chat support are the most valuable features."
"The biggest advantage with Zoom, compared to other similar products, is the simplicity."
"Zoom is very smooth whether in one-on-one meetings or group calls with more than one hundred people."
"It functions well. I have had no issues with attaching files to chats."
 

Cons

"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"I did not see a Whiteboarding feature when using Zoom. They should add this in the next release."
"Having easier access to recorded meetings, being able to download them fast, and playing them back would be helpful."
"Zoom can improve the user-friendliness of the management when you are doing a webinar."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"Lacks an indicator on chat to show that a message has been read."
"The other thing I would add is maybe noise reduction. That could be improved. Everyone nowadays is working from home, so sometimes we hear the dog and stuff like that."
"The tool must enhance the features it provides."
"The technical support is very bad."
 

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."
"Zoom is licensed as a subscription model and it is available on a monthly or yearly basis."
"The licensing fees are quite expensive."
"The price of Zoom is a bit expensive."
"I am not paying any licensing costs for the solution."
"The solution's pricing is good."
"It is an inexpensive product."
"As an organization, we are paying a license fee for Zoom. Personally, I use the free version."
"Zoom is free."
