Information Systems Specialist III at a university with 10,001+ employees
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

"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"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."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"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.""
"GoToMeeting took a very short time to install and it worked without a hitch."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"The performance is good."
"It is a stable solution."
"The Mozilla extension is useful to schedule meetings."
"The best features of Zoom include its ease of use due to an intuitive interface, which makes it suitable for both personal and professional use."
"The screen sharing feature is valuable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"There are many valuables features of Zoom: the visibility is very good, the ability to see everyone that is talking and the indication spotlight of who the primary speaker is are helpful, the solution is interactive with participants able to raise their hand, comment, and give gestures such as thumbs up or down, there is the option to record, the quality of the video is great, the quality of the desktop sharing is clear, there is easy scheduling, and overall ease of use."
"There are lots of great features available to every user."
 

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."
"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."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"We have had issues with stability."
"It is not so stable. They're trying to bring in too many things and make it look really complex."
"It is not so stable."
"Troubleshooting on Zoom can be complicated."
"It did not make a difference one way or the other. Users cared more about audio than they did the video connection."
"Whiteboarding would allow me to utilize the screen to draw something, explain, and write something."
"The video quality should be better. Sometimes when there are updates at the backend, Zoom won't respond properly during that time."
"The interface requires some slight improvement in that it could better show the meeting attendees."
"Recently, most of the people in my organization have not been able to dial in using the telephone number and have been required to join meetings using their devices."
"Zoom could be more scalable."
"What I don't like is the 45-minute time limit on the free subscription."
 

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."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."

LucidChart vs LucidSpark for brainstorming sessions over Zoom
