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

"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"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."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"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.""
"With GoToMeeting, I like that it works well for seminars and similar events. Finding a platform where multiple people can share their images, split the screen with content, and manage presentations smoothly is uncommon. It allows the presenter to handle questions, answers, and other opinions."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"It's cost-effective."
"Zoom is incredibly easy to install. You can download it immediately on a mobile phone or go to the website. You don't need a lot of IT skills to get it running."
"The most valuable features of Zoom are the quality of the video is better than other solutions and they have a recording option that is useful. Additionally, it helps to collaborate with other organizations."
"Zoom is easy to use and does not consume very much in terms of resources."
"No interruptions occurred, and nothing changed even when we had 30 people; it wasn't laggy or interrupting."
"The most valuable feature is video conferencing."
"The main benefit is that it allows us to easily connect and collaborate, even in areas with less reliable internet."
"The solution offers a free version."
"Zoom is scalable. We have about 10,000 users at my company."
 

Cons

"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."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"The solution could always be more secure."
"In addition to the features it already has, I think GoToMeeting should also have additional features that are not present at the moment."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"We have had some quality and lagging issues with video regardless of connection quality."
"Variable sound quality."
"The stability of Zoom could be improved. I would rate its stability as a seven out of ten."
"The video quality should be better. Sometimes when there are updates at the backend, Zoom won't respond properly during that time."
"There were times on the free version where I wasn't done the meeting and it just took me out. They need to give more time."
"The video side should be improved, especially if too many people log in at once."
"The product's stability needs improvement."
"I would like to see Zoom integrated with other third-party services."
 

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 rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. It is not affordable for small businesses."
"Zoom is free to use."
"My company is using the paid version of Zoom."
"I am using the free version."
"We generally have a strict budget so the pricing for Zoom is reasonable."
"In addition to any licensing fees, we hired Zoom to provide training to us in small groups."
"Zoom is free."
"We pay a yearly licensing fee."
