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

"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"There is no lagging and the meeting interaction is seamless."
"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."
"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."
"We like that this solution allows us to assign separate numbers to people without having to have a physical telephone system in place."
"Even for somebody who does not have a lot of experience, they can easily use it."
"I've been using Zoom since the pandemic started. It's actually been a life saving product under the circumstances that were thrust on everybody."
"Zoom is mobile-ready and easy to use."
"It is a stable product."
"The grid view option is great, as you get to see everyone who is in the video conference at the same time."
"The feature I find the most about Zoom is that you can have a private chat in a group call."
"The solution is easy to use and loads up documents for sharing."
"The screen-sharing capabilities are very good."
"The best features of Zoom include its ease of use due to an intuitive interface, which makes it suitable for both personal and professional use."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to have a virtual room where users can pass through. It also needs to integrate a real-time translator."
"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."
"Lacks ease of connectivity, calendar integrations, and third-party app integrations."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"It is not so stable."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"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."
"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."
"I can't speak to any aspect that needs improvement."
"The solution is not very useful for chat and lacks highlighting functionality."
"While the communication and video-audio conferencing features on Zoom are excellent, unlike Microsoft Teams, there is no direct integration with SharePoint. For us, that is the disadvantage of Zoom."
"I would like to see Zoom integrated with other third-party services."
"The stability has been good but it could still improve. However, I have not found a better solution."
"I think there are aspects that need to be developed. While I haven't identified specific areas for improvement yet, I believe it could add many new AI features, which is why I wouldn't give it 10 out of 10."
"I would say that Zoom should support more platforms. I think it has some limitations. It should be supported on all platforms."
"The security can be improved because this is one of the reasons that my organization prefers to use Skype."
 

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 use the free version of the product. We utilize it only three to four times a month."
"The tool's paid version is not that expensive. You need to pay 150 USD per year."
"Zoom has a less expensive subscription than other solutions such as Cisco Webex."
"The personal version that I was using is available free of charge."
"The price is $149 USD yearly."
"The pricing is too high. The cost of the license could be cheaper."
"The exact costs are handled on a corporate level, however, I understand that if you just want to own a license for your small business or something like that, it's around $300 a year, which is very reasonable."
"It is an inexpensive product."
