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 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."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"Screenshare is the most valuable feature as well as the number of meeting participants possible in a meeting. It also has good quality."
"GoToMeeting's security is very good. I've never known anybody to crash a GoToMeeting."
"It's cost-effective."
"The key advantage of GoToMeeting is the ability to use it without installing anything."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"A stable option that is good for small to medium sized companies with limited use."
"The Zoom software is complete and effective, light and secure."
"Zoom's most valuable feature is communication."
"This video conferencing product is easy to use."
"When I had meetings, I used to take notes or record them, but then someone still had to transcribe everything. Now, I'm fascinated by OtterPilot. It automatically transcribes meetings, summarizes them, and identifies action items. I've been recommending it to everyone I know. It is a tool that you can use during Zoom or Teams calls. It takes real-time notes and then sends a summary and action items to everyone via email. It's been really helpful for about three or four years now."
"Zoom is easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Zoom for enhanced team collaboration are its high video quality, comprehensive meeting features, and reliable performance."
"There are many valuable features. Security is one – you can lock Zoom meetings when you find that all the participants have joined so that there are no intruders."
 

Cons

"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"The interface is a little outdated and could be better."
"Poor error recovery, too sensitive to transmission errors. Needs better codecs and more robust system software that can handle network glitches."
"The product itself doesn't stand out against other options on the market."
"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 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."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"I did not see a Whiteboarding feature when using Zoom. They should add this in the next release."
"The interface requires some slight improvement in that it could better show the meeting attendees."
"It is important for us to have Zoom integration with our Active Directory environment."
"The virtual background could be more smoothly integrated with the rest of the software."
"Zoom should improve aspects of its security."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The voice quality could improve, and there are issues with the background."
"There could be more integration options for Zoom."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"GoToMeeting is a little bit expensive compared to other products."
"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."
"Zoom is licensed as a subscription model and it is available on a monthly or yearly basis."
"In the basic version, there is a 40-minute time limit on group meetings."
"Zoom can be used for free."
"We use the free version of the product. We utilize it only three to four times a month."
"The free version has a time limit, but paid subscriptions are available."
"I use Zoom's free version."
"There is a 40-minute time limit when you use the basic version, which is free."
"The pricing is too high. The cost of the license could be cheaper."
