Gavin Tomlins - PeerSpot reviewer

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.
Arun Basnet - PeerSpot reviewer

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

"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.""
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"It's easy to set up."
"GoToMeeting is very handy. It's good software. I would definitely recommend it."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"It meets all of our basic requirements. It's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"There are no restrictions on the number of participants in a single meeting, That is the beauty of Zoom, and it is also very fast compared to others."
"The most valuable feature is that it's free."
"Zoom has a variety of functions, including setting up virtual offices and virtual office hours. It's a stable and scalable platform with good chat support."
"The ability to make video calls is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"A good option for online meetings."
"The solution is easy to use with an easy user interface."
 

Cons

"The solution could always be more secure."
"I don't know whether it is an issue or not but my boss was asking me if person one is in one room, and another person wanted to use another room at the same time, I don't know whether it is possible."
"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 solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"Manageability needs to be improved."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"The sound quality is good but the video quality needs improvement."
"They should consider increasing the time limits for free users."
"In addition to Zoom, I frequently utilize Slack, and I particularly appreciate its huddle functionality. What I find appealing about Slack is the ability to simultaneously chat and have video capabilities. It would be beneficial if Zoom offered similar features integrated with some form of channel system, although I acknowledge that I am not involved in the product management aspect. Personally, I believe this integration would make Zoom even more compelling and engaging for users like myself."
"They may need to scale it some more in terms of global users."
"Zoom lacks dashboards, more could be included."
"They need to improve the background feature, to be able to set a background without interfering with the current background."
"The security needs to be improved."
"There could be more integration options for Zoom."
"Extra security would be a good added feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Negotiate for discounts."
"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."
"There is a 40-minute time limit when you use the basic version, which is free."
"We have subscribed to a package for Zoom and it is a monthly payment."
"We have to pay for the product's license."
"Zoom is available with an open license that can support meetings of up to 40 minutes."
"In the basic version, there is a 40-minute time limit on group meetings."
"The personal version is free. However, there are fees required to use the solution for business."
"The cost of Zoom is approximately $150 USD annually."
"There is a licensing fee and although the price is fair, it can be a little cheaper."
