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

"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"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."
"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."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"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."
"The ability to discuss and share training content would be the most valuable features of Zoom."
"Zoom is useful for virtual meetings."
"I would rate Zoom nine out of 10 on a scale from one to ten."
"Zoom is easy to use and does not consume very much in terms of resources."
"The grid view option is great, as you get to see everyone who is in the video conference at the same time."
"The product's most valuable features are chat and video streaming."
"The initial setup is straightforward as this is a cloud application. It only takes a few seconds."
"It allows for both support and communication at the same time."
 

Cons

"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"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."
"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."
"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 free version of Zoom only allows you to have a call session for approximately 45 minutes. This should be extended."
"The product could use some more automation."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The quality of transcription in Zoom Workplace Business could improve."
"Zoom could improve by having more tools."
"Zoom's user interface could be improved. For example, it could have bigger buttons for elderly people."
"When anyone installs Zoom for organizational purposes, then it's fine because all the safety and protection is taken care of by the organization. However, when it's done on a personal basis the terms and conditions, you are not secure."
"When you are connected to one device and you're going to log into another one, Zoom should ask you to transfer without having to disconnect you."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"It is a little expensive although now, with the competition from Zoom and other products, they have lowered their prices and it is better."
"Negotiate for discounts."
"The personal version is free. However, there are fees required to use the solution for business."
"My company is using the paid version of Zoom."
"There is a 40-minute time limit when you use the basic version, which is free."
"The cost of Zoom is approximately $150 USD annually."
"The price of Zoom is a bit expensive."
"There is a subscription to use the solution."
"I rate the product's pricing two or three on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"I use the free version of Zoom that is available for download."
