Video library is a great tool and it enables good customization; feels a little antiquated and rusty

I like that recordings are available immediately, it's a great feature. I also appreciate being able to use the video library as a tool, and the integration of an API with other systems we have. We were able to build our own customer portal and then integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface. People thought they were on our platform, but they were using GoToWebinar. Those are unique features that seemed to be very easy for our development team to integrate. I like that aspect of it. It also provides good visibility if somebody had seen a webinar that was useful. It's very easy to push them out. Registration is an easy process as is customization on the back end. We very rarely had technical issues running the webinars so it's a pretty robust platform overall.

A scalable and stable solution that offers good production support

I am impressed with the tool's production support. The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system. I have been using the product for five years. I would rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten. I would rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten.…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions."

"We were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."

"I can extract the activity and the attendance reports, along with every single question that was asked during the webinar, which is a feature that we highly value."

"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones."

"All of their features are good. They are more or less equivalent to the competition. There's less disturbance, less jitter, the voice is always good even at a low bandwidth."

"We are a remote organization mostly, so all of our team meetings use this platform, allowing us to share screens, record meetings, and include everyone on the call."

"I am impressed with the tool's production support."

"This is the future of modern business and networking."

"GlobalMeet has been wonderful and a great tool for my company to use."

"Customer Service: Excellent. PGI is always improving and responsive to their customer's needs!"

"I believe that the nominal additional cost for GlobalMeet is outweighed by having a reliable conferencing system that never embarrasses the organization with technical issues."

"I love the Outlook toolbar that GlobalMeet has incorporated, as I use it to create announcements for web meetings, start my audio and web meetings with just a few clicks, have the program call me so I do not need to remember phone numbers and passcodes, see those attending my call, control noise by muting callers, and even record the call for later usage."

"I would absolutely recommend using GlobalMeet; it is a great solution that is easy and really makes meetings more enjoyable."

Cons

"The platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it."

"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."

"The chat window and using polls is easier in Zoom than compared to GoToWebinar. Make it simpler and easier to publish polls on the fly would improve the solution."

"GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."

"Some of my friends also use GoToWebinar to collect clients for affiliate marketing. In those cases, they found some features were missing with respect to some of the competition. And the worst part is the price."

"The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."

"I would like to see the reports available right after my call, instead of 24 hours later."

"When you get a large number of users on GlobalMeet it tends to slow things down a little bit but with the support group at hand things picked back up quickly."

"I have noticed it crashing during some events."

"I guess if I could recommend is to make sure that the polling tool functions properly as I've dealt with issues in the passed."

"Recordings-the recording features malfunctions and it only allows you to store recordings for 30 days without an extra fee."

"We had issues of multiple people getting kicked off the call and/or the online meeting by the afternoon."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a free solution."

"It is a monthly subscription and the price is quite expensive if you're not paying annually."

"The solution is expensive. I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten and it is yearly."
