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.

Whiteboard and content sharing features are good

I would rate Teams's stability as a nine out of ten. However, some recent updates have made it less stable. I find it a little bit choppy. Sometimes, I find the network quality is not very good with low bandwidth. So, sometimes, when you have low bandwidth the quality becomes very poor. So, you have to optimize your usage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."

"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."

"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."

"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.""

"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."

"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."

"It's easy to set up."

"It's cost-effective."

More GoToMeeting pros

"Its feature that allows for meetings is very good. Also, the solution's performance has been good, and there have been no issues. I rate the performance of the solution a ten out of ten."

"It provides a collaborative space for efficient work processes."

"The chat functionality is the solution's most valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to collaborate."

"Microsoft Teams can facilitate the broadcast of information and distribution of tasks through a single platform."

"The solution's stability is quite good, and it doesn't crash and freeze up when you have a large number of users."

"The video conferencing is good."

"I don't have to physically go to the meetings; I can do it virtually."

More Microsoft Teams pros

Cons

"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."

"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."

"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."

"Manageability needs to be improved."

"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."

"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."

"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."

"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."

More GoToMeeting cons

"Screen sharing sometimes causes the solution to crash."

"In the next release, I would like to have the interface modernized and brought more up to date."

"The biggest issue is web content."

"Since Microsoft Teams is a typical Microsoft product, inviting guest users to the conversation can be problematic if they're not in the active directory."

"In terms of functionality, I would like to see support for multi-user or multiple windows for the File structure."

"This solution is not as popular for companies to use as other solutions making it a disadvantage."

"The solution needs to be integrated with Microsoft Planner. I have also faced issues with stability in the first month."

"I had to type the team members versus being able to set up a team's group of names as you can do with Outlook."

More Microsoft Teams cons
