Featured Reviews

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.
Luiz Kazan - PeerSpot reviewer
Utilizing versatile features for efficient personal and work meetings
Zoom offers a number of interesting and valuable features. One of the most interesting is the ability to share only audio and provide ambient music without sharing a screen. The breakout room feature is much more developed than other solutions, allowing users to stay in the same meeting and move to different rooms and back to the main room. The sharing features are great for projecting people who should be in focus. Another valuable feature is the virtual entrance, which uses a username and password recognized by the Zoom system, showing the person's full name and ID. Additionally, the use of video and a good fixed background improves visibility compared to other applications. These features differentiate Zoom from others.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"We can record meetings and share the screen with participants."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"It's easy to set up."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"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."
"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."
"I have found Zoom to be stable and it has good performance."
"The most valuable feature is the remote desktop because sometimes we have to intervene and control the client's infrastructure."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"No interruptions occurred, and nothing changed even when we had 30 people; it wasn't laggy or interrupting."
"The solution is stable and scalable."
"The initial setup is quick and easy."
"There is no installation, you can give someone a link to the chat and they can access the chat through the link."
"Ability to record interviews."
 

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."
"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 solution could always be more secure."
"The solution could scale a bit easier if you need to add more people to meetings."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"In the future, I would like to see remote access control for other computers."
"The chat functionality that is included is always in plain text, and you cannot change fonts by making them bold or italic. It's a very plain and basic chat."
"Zoom definitely has to be more secure, but I can't think of any anything else to change."
"Zoom could be improved by adding more third-party integrations. They should also work on their virtual backgrounds. I think these could be more professional and creative."
"There must be an option to ask permission from the host to record the Zoom meeting."
"The user interface should be more straightforward and easy to use."
"The solution lacks security."
"Zoom's user interface could be improved. For example, it could have bigger buttons for elderly people."

"Zoom is free to use."

"We are using the free version of the solution."
"We generally have a strict budget so the pricing for Zoom is reasonable."
