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

"When managing a conference, it is simple and easy."
"It's easy to set up."
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"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 feature set is very comparable with other virtual meeting products."
"Overall, the solution is useful for running virtual meetings seamlessly."
"GoToMeeting is a nice program and they have a lot of features."
"Zoom has great functionality for virtual meetings; it's best in class, allows you to create invitation letters for people to join meetings, and collects statistics that are helpful for showing you details such as who has joined the meeting."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The most valuable feature is push notifications"
"The most valuable feature is the sharing capabilities. Whether it's a simple screen for PowerPoint or sharing videos, it works really well."
"I've been on a call with around a thousand students. So, it was quite scalable."
"Any cloud-based service offers a lot of benefits for customers: They don't have to invest in any on-prem infrastructure and they can use it on the go; they can be in the office, at home, traveling, at a hotel, or wherever, and they can start a meeting."
"I don't have any issues with the scalability of Zoom."
 

Cons

"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"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."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"We have had issues with stability."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"I'd like to see more integration with Google Calendaring. When meetings are scheduled they are added into a Google Calendar. For example, if I am driving my car there are often times I have to pull off the road to join into a meeting as opposed to being able to click the link and have it startup. Sometimes I can do that, sometimes I can't, it all depends on how the meeting was generated initially."
"The pricing model for Zoom was not very friendly."
"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."
"I found it very confusing to set up a meeting."
"When you are connected to one device and you're going to log into another one, Zoom should ask you to transfer without having to disconnect you."
"Lacks an indicator on chat to show that a message has been read."
"The paid version is quite expensive. There's no middle ground between free and paid."
"I'd like to see some more customization and the ability to increase meeting length without cost."

"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."

"There is a licensing fee and although the price is fair, it can be a little cheaper."
"I use the free version of Zoom that is available for download."
"I am not paying any licensing costs for the solution."
"My organization has a yearly license for Zoom."
"In the basic version, there is a 40-minute time limit on group meetings."
"In addition to any licensing fees, we hired Zoom to provide training to us in small groups."
"My company is using the paid version of Zoom."
"I use the tool's free version."
