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

"Scalability is good as you can host webinars with hundreds of participants without any lagging."
"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."
"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."
"We use GoToWebinar to do live pitch webinars and sales webinars, we use it to create all of our courses as well, we do training courses and our business pretty much revolves around using this tool for most of what we do."
"The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions."
"GoToWebinar polls help me quickly gauge, upfront, the audience’s interest in topics and their current level of knowledge."
"We were able to build our own customer portal and then integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."
"The interface makes it simple to use."
"The product runs pretty smoothly so I haven't had to contact technical support."
"I have been satisfied with the features and capability of Zoom."
"Zoom is easy to use and easy to navigate."
"The ability to share content is a great feature."
"The solution is easy to navigate."
"The standout feature of Zoom is its excellent connectivity, offering high-quality audio and video. Additionally, its familiarity stems from being an early adopter in the field of online communication during the onset of epidemics. Previously, I had used a different system for video conferences in another company, which primarily relied on room-based conferences rather than peer-to-peer video conferencing. However, with the need to communicate directly with peers, Zoom emerged as the first and preferred choice for me. Overall, I consider it the top option and the primary tool I use. Additionally, the solution has all the functionality I need."
"Overall, Zoom is a good product and I recommend that people use it."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."
"It's a little pricier than the others."
"The technical support is quite bad."
"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."
"Zoom could improve by allowing multiple users to share their screens at the same time."
"Issues such as stability, particularly when many people are involved, may arise due to bandwidth rather than Zoom itself. However, Zoom could benefit from enhancements to manage large participant volumes."
"The price of Zoom is a bit expensive."
"When talking to clients who are in areas with poor networks, it becomes quite a problem."
"Zoom should continue to add new features to the product."
"For those who cannot purchase the ID, they have a time limit of 40 minutes."
"One thing I do wish was that there was more visibility. Sometimes I have to click into a reply-all to find out who is in the meeting and whether they've accepted or not."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a free solution."
"I have been using the free version of Zoom."
"We have an annual subscription to the solution. The price could be reduced."
"It is reasonable. It has a monthly license."
"I use the free version of Zoom that is available for download."
"I use the free version of Zoom."
"As an organization, we are paying a license fee for Zoom. Personally, I use the free version."
"Zoom is available with an open license that can support meetings of up to 40 minutes."
"We do not incur any licensing costs, as we use the free version."
