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.

Daily team collaboration has become smoother and supports reliable long client meetings
One of the best features Zoom Workplace Business offers is that we have unlimited time for our meeting schedule with no time limitation. Additionally, we can have a workspace and many other features that I haven't explored yet, including shared documents. Zoom Workplace Business has numerous features to provide a team with valuable tools. Regarding how Zoom Workplace Business has impacted my organization positively, we also had other communication channels such as Teams and Slack, but the video call experience in Zoom was really good and helpful. We also have a recording functionality which is truly helpful. While we have that on other platforms, Zoom makes it similarly easy to implement as that of other communication channels. Since Zoom has a really good streaming quality and works on low latency as well, we prefer to use Zoom over other communication channels for video calling and conferences, although we have other communication channels for text messages.

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."
"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."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"GoToMeeting's low latency is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work. The sound and video quality are solid, and the whiteboarding features were especially useful. The administrative side of it was fairly simple and intuitive to use."
"Zoom is a scalable solution, we have 150,000 people using it in my organization."
"The feature I find the most about Zoom is that you can have a private chat in a group call."
"It's not a big deal to set up a meeting."
"Zoom is a very reliable solution."
"I've been on a call with around a thousand students. So, it was quite scalable."
"It always works, and they try to appeal to what the user wants. They added features like background music for those people who use Zoom for online church services. They try to make the solution more useful for the user. For example, I tried to sell WebEx to a church, but I also gave them Zoom for a trial. They were impressed with that because that was the feature they were looking for."
"Another advantage of Zoom is that it is easier to link a person that is not a Zoom user than it is with WebEx."
"Zoom is easy to set up and is a very stable video communications app."
 

Cons

"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"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 could always be more secure."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"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."
"There must be an option to ask permission from the host to record the Zoom meeting."
"Zoom isn't well integrated with anything else. Obviously, it's integrated enough to be able to set an appointment or schedule a Zoom meeting."
"The quality of transcription in Zoom Workplace Business could improve."
"The video side should be improved, especially if too many people log in at once."
"In the free version, you are restricted to just 40-minute meetings, however, it is free, and therefore you can't ask for too much. It's still okay."
"In the next release, I would like to see an easily accessible bandwidth feature so that you can see how much data you've used on a particular call."
"It does take up a lot of computer bandwidth, which can slow down performance, especially when I'm sharing screens."
"I would appreciate it if the updates weren't so frequent."
 

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."
"My organization has a yearly license for Zoom."
"Zoom is free."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. It is not affordable for small businesses."
"I believe that all of their licenses are purchased, so that they may use the solution for their teaching purposes."
"There is a free version of Zoom which allows you a certain limited amount of time usage and there is a corporate version of the solution where you have to pay."
"Zoom is available with an open license that can support meetings of up to 40 minutes."
"It is reasonable. It has a monthly license."
"The pricing is reasonable."
