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.

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

"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"Overall, this solution is very good, with only the management and pricing in need of improvement."
"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.""
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"We need a meeting thing, hey, go find a meeting thing."
"GoToMeeting is a nice program and they have a lot of features."
"It works, it's reliable."
"Classic GTM is an amazing product and much better than the competition."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It is a stable product."
"Zoom has good integration and allows users to adjust the video image, other solutions I have used do not have this feature."
"The screen sharing capability is useful for teaching."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The biggest advantage with Zoom, compared to other similar products, is the simplicity."
"When I had meetings, I used to take notes or record them, but then someone still had to transcribe everything. Now, I'm fascinated by OtterPilot. It automatically transcribes meetings, summarizes them, and identifies action items. I've been recommending it to everyone I know. It is a tool that you can use during Zoom or Teams calls. It takes real-time notes and then sends a summary and action items to everyone via email. It's been really helpful for about three or four years now."
"like Zoom because it's a very simple program. We have more success using Zoom with clients, partners, and everybody else. Everybody seems to be able to get Zoom. Some people struggle with Teams."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is not so stable. They're trying to bring in too many things and make it look really complex."
"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."
"We have had issues with stability."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"They should improve the sharing file features from accessing the internal network. If we cannnot share our documents through this meeting, our meeting productivity will decrease dramatically. We need these features."
"Zoom should continue to add new features to the product."
"The security and chat features should improve in Zoom."
"Having easier access to recorded meetings, being able to download them fast, and playing them back would be helpful."
"I thought Zoom doesn't have the feature to save chats after meetings, while Teams allows for document sharing, which I know because in my latest company we were sharing documents through Teams; I didn't use that in Zoom."
"Sound is not an issue, however, with video I've always had issues when using the free service."
"Password requirement for every meeting."
"I did not see a Whiteboarding feature when using Zoom. They should add this in the next release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Negotiate for discounts."
"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."
"We are on an annual license for the solution. The price of the solution could be less expensive."
"In the basic version, there is a 40-minute time limit on group meetings."
"The free version has a time limit, but paid subscriptions are available."
"There is a free version available with time limits."
"I use the free version of Zoom that is available for download."
"In addition to any licensing fees, we hired Zoom to provide training to us in small groups."
"There is a free version of Zoom which allows you a certain limited amount of time usage and there is a corporate version of the solution where you have to pay."
"Zoom can be used for free."
