Clunky with poor interface, lacks sufficient functionalities; it did reduce need for in-person meetings
We're phasing out the use of GoToMeeting because of some of its deficiencies. It lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations. The user interface is quite poor and needs to be reworked and the product is quite clunky in comparison to its competitors. It currently lacks the ability for sharing collaborative materials during a meeting. We also found that the ability to switch between audio and video configurations isn't as intuitive as in other applications. I generally do 20-30 hours of video conferencing a day, so it makes a difference to have these features. It doesn't integrate as easily into phone systems as well as other organizations and it doesn't integrate as easy into instant messaging and collaboration tools or into software solutions. In general, some of the functionalities need to be improved.

Improved collaboration costs have been reduced while daily stand-ups and events run more efficiently
If I were to discuss how Zoom Workplace Business can be improved, I feel that it is providing good service overall; however, the scaling aspect could be enhanced. Even though it has great scalability, if they can make it even more scalable, it would be really good. Also, while the integration is good, with the growth of AI, advancing the AI part to enable other workflows within the application would be beneficial. Those are some observations from my part, but otherwise, I feel everything is all right. I would love to see advanced AI integrations with major players such as Google and Amazon. Talking about scalability, Zoom Workplace Business is definitely a scalable solution, accommodating up to 1,000 people at once. However, when exceeding that number, the bandwidth may be disturbed and the latency may reduce; I have witnessed that issue occurring during large events, which is why I highlighted this part.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We don't have any link issues whether you use it to browser, or use it as a client. It worked perfectly fine for us."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"It's cost-effective."
"Reduced the need for physically commuting between offices."
"It's easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"There is a free version of the solution."
"The best features of Zoom include its ease of use due to an intuitive interface, which makes it suitable for both personal and professional use."
"There are lots of great features available to every user."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"Zoom helps you to share your screen and allows someone to take remote control during Zoom meetings. Compared with other platforms like Teams and Webex, it's on par."
"The product quality is very good."
"Zoom has become a straightforward solution and is valuable for various meeting types."
"The interface is good and integrates well."
 

Cons

"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."
"I don't know whether it is an issue or not but my boss was asking me if person one is in one room, and another person wanted to use another room at the same time, I don't know whether it is possible."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"The solution must include archive options to save the recorded meetings for future reference. The recording functionality can benefit our team by improving how meetings are recorded and shared. Previously, only admins could record meetings, sometimes leading to issues if recordings were missed or not shared properly. The recent update now allows hosting GoToMeeting sessions with the ability to delegate recording rights to other team members."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"I think Zoom is not secure."
"There is insufficient customization."
"Yesterday, we had a call, but Zoom closed after 20 or 25 minutes, and we didn't get any alerts. That could be because there was a time limit set. There should be an option, like a button, that allows us to increase or reduce the meeting time."
"One of the main concerns is the difficulty of using it on your mobile device."
"They should remove any restriction of time."
"It would be useful, for my purposes, to be able to run a meeting like a webinar where the solution doesn't show all of the people on the actual call. It would be great if it had the flexibility to allow people to "hide" themselves from the meeting, or to give the person running the meeting the capability of choosing who could be seen, or not."
"It would be helpful if Zoom could integrate with our medical systems."
"The solution could improve by being more secure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"The tool's paid version is not that expensive. You need to pay 150 USD per year."
"Zoom can be used for free."
"The price of Zoom is a bit expensive."
"There are no licensing fees required."
"Zoom is free."
"As an organization, we are paying a license fee for Zoom. Personally, I use the free version."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"I am using the free version, so I don't pay anything to use it."
