RITA Conroy-Martin - PeerSpot reviewer
Video library is a great tool and it enables good customization; feels a little antiquated and rusty
I like that recordings are available immediately, it's a great feature. I also appreciate being able to use the video library as a tool, and the integration of an API with other systems we have. We were able to build our own customer portal and then integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface. People thought they were on our platform, but they were using GoToWebinar. Those are unique features that seemed to be very easy for our development team to integrate. I like that aspect of it. It also provides good visibility if somebody had seen a webinar that was useful. It's very easy to push them out. Registration is an easy process as is customization on the back end. We very rarely had technical issues running the webinars so it's a pretty robust platform overall.

Whiteboard and content sharing features are good
I would rate Teams's stability as a nine out of ten. However, some recent updates have made it less stable. I find it a little bit choppy. Sometimes, I find the network quality is not very good with low bandwidth. So, sometimes, when you have low bandwidth the quality becomes very poor. So, you have to optimize your usage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."
"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones."
"All of their features are good. They are more or less equivalent to the competition. There's less disturbance, less jitter, the voice is always good even at a low bandwidth."
"I can extract the activity and the attendance reports, along with every single question that was asked during the webinar, which is a feature that we highly value."
"The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions."
"Managing meeting on Microsoft Teams is better than managing traditional face to face meetings."
"Our company is moving from their Skype for Business to Teams. So I've seen it, I've looked at it, I've used it somewhat enjoyed the UI."
"I think communication is the best feature overall. We use Microsoft Teams for chat, video, and audio communications, so communication is the most valuable feature. Video communication has improved our productivity. We often need to review the code of some developers, which means we need to see their shared screen. So, I think the screen-sharing feature is the best one for us."
"I think what the team likes most is the improvements when it comes to communication."
"The solution helps us to accelerate communication. We use Teams to contact colleagues during emergencies instead of regular electronic phones. It helps to keep everything organized and centralized in the same place. The product is also very easy to use. I am also impressed with the solution's possibility of making quick calls and creating groups."
"Valuable screen sharing feature."
"The most valuable feature for me is the chat."
"It helps our organization with faster communication."

Cons

"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."
"Some of my friends also use GoToWebinar to collect clients for affiliate marketing. In those cases, they found some features were missing with respect to some of the competition. And the worst part is the price."
"GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."
"The platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it."
"The chat window and using polls is easier in Zoom than compared to GoToWebinar. Make it simpler and easier to publish polls on the fly would improve the solution."
"It consumes a high amount of system memory."
"The solution needs to be integrated with Microsoft Planner. I have also faced issues with stability in the first month."
"The chat option in the Teams tab is not very helpful. We don't use it very often. There is also an expiration on the recordings. It would be useful to not have a time limit."
"Microsoft Teams becomes complicated when used with SharePoint. It needs to improve its integration with other Office 365 tools."
"There are a lot of frequent updates, which is a shortcoming of the tool."
"The call quality could be better sometimes. Microsoft could improve the quality of the backgrounds. File sharing could also be smoother. It takes a lot of clicks to download and copy the links. It should be only one click."
"The solution is very expensive and I won't be able to afford it personally."
"Microsoft Teams withdrew the Wiki function, which was quite a good and useful feature."
