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

"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"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."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"It's cost-effective."
"Zoom is very smooth whether in one-on-one meetings or group calls with more than one hundred people."
"I find it very easy to use for multiple persons."
"Zoom is a product that offers users convenience, so you won't be left out of any meetings, especially when others need or prefer to hold meetings on Zoom."
"Zoom did everything that we needed it to do."
"Zoom has positively impacted my organization by helping me stay in touch with my customers and my team, allowing us to quickly figure out things in a world where you can't really speak on the phone anymore."
"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."
"I felt the installation to be straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is push notifications"
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"It is not so stable."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"They should remove any restriction of time."
"I would appreciate it if the updates weren't so frequent."
"Additional end-user features like polling would be beneficial."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"Non-technical support should be improved, such as that involving invoicing."
"The paid version is quite expensive. There's no middle ground between free and paid."
"Troubleshooting can be complicated."
"The inclusion of some more advanced security features would be an improvement."
 

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."
"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"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."
"There are no licensing fees required."
"The pricing is too high. The cost of the license could be cheaper."
"There are both free and paid versions available."
"The cost of Zoom has led me to use WeChat, instead."
"I believe that all of their licenses are purchased, so that they may use the solution for their teaching purposes."
"There is a subscription to use the solution."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
