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

"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"It's easy to set up."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"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."
"It's cost-effective."
"The solution is easy to use with an easy user interface."
"The installation was easy."
"The feature I really like is the summary provided by AI."
"The installation process is very simple."
"The ability to share graphics and visuals."
"There are many valuable features. Security is one – you can lock Zoom meetings when you find that all the participants have joined so that there are no intruders."
"All you need is a laptop or mobile device and a connection to the internet."
"It is a game-changer for virtual communication, and it is incredibly user-friendly, making it a go-to choice for remote meetings, webinars, and online collaboration."
 

Cons

"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"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 scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"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 didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"It is not so stable."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"Making Zoom Phone available in all countries is recommended. It would have been good to connect with people outside using Zoom Phone."
"One thing that Zoom can improve is the chat. You can send messages to a specific person without messaging everyone. But everyone sees the whole chat if the administrator lets them see the chat. Maybe they could add an option to let you open a private conversation on the side with a person."
"They should improve the sharing file features from accessing the internal network. If we cannnot share our documents through this meeting, our meeting productivity will decrease dramatically. We need these features."
"I'd like for there to be more integrations possible in the future."
"Sometimes can get confused about which password setting or parameter setting to use. For example, if I want to issue a Zoom meeting to my team members or perhaps sometimes I want them to issue a Zoom directly when I receive the Zoom accounts from our IT department, I don't know how to enable or disable these features in the Zoom. I think it's a personal issue I have."
"Non-technical support should be improved, such as that involving invoicing."
"Maybe the UI could be improved a bit."
"They may need to scale it some more in terms of global users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Negotiate for discounts."
"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."
"We do not incur a licensing fee."
"I rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. It is not affordable for small businesses."
"As an organization, we are paying a license fee for Zoom. Personally, I use the free version."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"My organization has a yearly license for Zoom."
"There is some basic functionality that's free but if you want to host longer meetings and have more participants, then there is a licensing fee."
"We are using the free version of the solution."
"In addition to any licensing fees, we hired Zoom to provide training to us in small groups."
