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

"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"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."
"It's cost-effective."
"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."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"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."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"I would rate Zoom nine out of 10 on a scale from one to ten."
"Easy to use whenever and wherever necessary."
"Zoom's most valuable feature is communication."
"Zoom is an excellent tool for networking where a number of people can join, each speaking to one another, and appearing on screen."
"I don't have any issues with the scalability of Zoom."
"Setting up Zoom is easy."
"The solution is stable and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
 

Cons

"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"In the next release, I would for it to incorporate files more efficiently from one computer to another when we covert things and send them out. I'm not sure if it's capable of that."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"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."
"Sometimes the free version is limited to forty-five minutes. For students, it would be beneficial to have access through the university for longer meetings."
"Zoom's stability is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"My only concern in Zoom is the stigma associated with being a Chinese product. However, it has been acquired by the US government or a US counterpart has taken over it. There is not any issue with respect to data security. This being said, there is a little bit of apprehension when it comes to the data security aspect. It's better if they give a public statement that we are compliant with the GDPR requirements. It will be helpful for them in promoting their solution in a much better way."
"The interface requires some slight improvement in that it could better show the meeting attendees."
"I would like to be able to have multiple users open and collaborate on a document at the same time."
"Zoom could improve by allowing multiple users to share their screens at the same time."
"When a lot of people join a meeting it is not possible to shrink the pictures and show them on a single screen."
 

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."
"The cost of Zoom has led me to use WeChat, instead."
"There is a licensing fee and although the price is fair, it can be a little cheaper."
"Zoom is available with an open license that can support meetings of up to 40 minutes."
"There is a free version available with time limits."
"We are using the free version of the solution."
"Zoom is licensed as a subscription model and it is available on a monthly or yearly basis."
"We have an annual subscription to the solution. The price could be reduced."
