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.

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

"We were able to build our own customer portal and then integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."
"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones."
"Overall, this is a good product that is simple to use but I would rather use Webex for video conferencing."
"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."
"Scalability is good as you can host webinars with hundreds of participants without any lagging."
"GoToWebinar polls help me quickly gauge, upfront, the audience’s interest in topics and their current level of knowledge."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is scheduling, which is quite simple and you can schedule a regular session with multiple occurrences."
"Zoom is easy to use and does not consume very much in terms of resources."
"The most valuable features are the video conferencing and the whole invite to set up a meeting is really easy to figure out and use. The chat functions are pretty simple as well."
"My advice for anybody who is considering Zoom is that it is ok for social use."
"Zoom works fine, and its interface is easier to use than, for example, Teams, which is the other tool I would compare it to. It's also easy to schedule Zoom meetings through Outlook."
"The installation was easy, although I do not recall how long it took."
"The most valuable features of Zoom for enhanced team collaboration are its high video quality, comprehensive meeting features, and reliable performance."
"We have made huge teleconferences with a lot of people, and many video streams."
"Zoom has facilitated our remote and hybrid meetings, particularly in the context of our agile processes such as scrum. In the past, estimating story points required physical presence in a room, where we would use visual cues or hand gestures. We can create polls with Zoom and share them with team members for direct input. The recording feature is also good. Additionally, features like whiteboarding allow for specific collaboration sessions tailored to different team members' needs. Auto-scheduling meetings and integration with Microsoft Outlook make organizing and attending meetings effortless. Overall, the product is good and convenient."
 

Cons

"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."
"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 platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it."
"It's a little pricier than the others."
"The technical support is quite bad."
"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."
"In comparison, I don't feel that GoToWebinar has the range of customization and it feels quite antiquated in comparison to Teams."
"When anyone installs Zoom for organizational purposes, then it's fine because all the safety and protection is taken care of by the organization. However, when it's done on a personal basis the terms and conditions, you are not secure."
"I'd like integration with Outlook to set my meetings. As it is, right now, I have to go to the Zoom app to do that, and after that, export it to Outlook."
"The inclusion of some more advanced security features would be an improvement."
"One of the main concerns is the difficulty of using it on your mobile device."
"If anything, the updates could be less frequent."
"The chat functionality that is included is always in plain text, and you cannot change fonts by making them bold or italic. It's a very plain and basic chat."
"When you join a meeting in Zoom, you may feel it is difficult to find some windows until you click a few buttons to help you eventually get to the window you want to see."
"There were some security issues early on, however, they have fixed the problem, and now it is fine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a monthly subscription and the price is quite expensive if you're not paying annually."
"This is a free solution."
"The cost of Zoom has led me to use WeChat, instead."
"I am using the free version of the solution. However, it has a time limit of 45 minutes for meetings. We do not have meetings longer than 45 minutes, it is fine for us."
"Has a paid account for multiple users as well as a free option."
"Zoom has a less expensive subscription than other solutions such as Cisco Webex."
"We use the free version of the product. We utilize it only three to four times a month."
"I am using the free version, so I don't pay anything to use it."
"In the basic version, there is a 40-minute time limit on group meetings."
"We have to pay for the product's license."
