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.

Unified communication has transformed our collaboration and consistently boosts project delivery
The best features Zoom Workplace Business offers include screen sharing, clear video and audio, online meetings, large-scale events, call management, mobile apps, unified communication platform, and collaboration. The feature I find myself using the most is an AI-powered collaboration platform that is used to streamline communication, increase employee engagement, optimize in-person time, and improve productivity. The screen sharing is very effective and a helpful tool where we are able to screen share with our colleagues and discuss different tasks and project management ideas. Collaboration has become very efficient, and remote working has also become efficient and prevalent in my organization. We have been able to save a lot of time using Zoom Workplace Business. It has been a game-changer. Zoom Workplace Business elevates the experience with Zoom AI Companion included at no additional cost. It is designed to help employees be more productive, collaborate better, enhance their skills, and unlock time savings.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"GoToWebinar polls help me quickly gauge, upfront, the audience’s interest in topics and their current level of knowledge."
"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."
"Scalability is good as you can host webinars with hundreds of participants without any lagging."
"We use GoToWebinar to do live pitch webinars and sales webinars, we use it to create all of our courses as well, we do training courses and our business pretty much revolves around using this tool for most of what we do."
"The most valuable feature is scheduling, which is quite simple and you can schedule a regular session with multiple occurrences."
"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."
"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones."
"Overall, this is a good product that is simple to use but I would rather use Webex for video conferencing."
"The product has video access which is a great feature."
"The solution is really easy to install and configure, the product is very easy to use, it's an intuitive product and it has a lot of usability, which is very, very good."
"Compared to other products on the market, this is a very good solution."
"The most valuable feature is the compatibility with most browsers and multiple devices, with decent performance on Android and iOS devices where people can seamlessly log in to meetings."
"Zoom is very easy to use and the scheduling is very good."
"We use Zoom primarily for virtual meetings and remote assist sessions, where we take over control of somebody's computer."
"The stability of the solution has been good, it has been reliable and extremely consistent, and I can't recall experiencing any bugs or glitches since the solution doesn't freeze or crash."
"I'm not a really technologically sophisticated user. From my point of view, if I can use it, it's likely very straightforward."
 

Cons

"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."
"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."
"The technical support is quite bad."
"In comparison, I don't feel that GoToWebinar has the range of customization and it feels quite antiquated in comparison to Teams."
"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's a little pricier than the others."
"GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."
"Zoom's drawing tools could be better integrated."
"While Zoom calls are great for talking and chatting, they often lack follow-up on action items and collaboration. Most of the time, it's just talking and listening without much progress. There's a missing piece in these tools. About 90 percent of those calls could be replaced by other tools that focus more on the deliverables that make a real impact rather than just being another wasted meeting. It doesn't improve collaboration."
"Our licensing model prevents us from switching off the meeting recording functionality"
"Zoom could use more background options."
"The splitting of the speaker can be frustrating."
"Sound is not an issue, however, with video I've always had issues when using the free service."
"It's a heavy application that requires a lot of bandwidth."
"The security can be improved because this is one of the reasons that my organization prefers to use Skype."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a monthly subscription and the price is quite expensive if you're not paying annually."
"This is a free solution."
"The cost for Zoom is reasonable."
"It is reasonable. It has a monthly license."
"There are both free and paid versions available."
"I am using the free version, so I don't pay anything to use it."
"I use Zoom's free version."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable. I think we get discounts as an organization."
"The free version has a time limit, but paid subscriptions are available."
"I use the tool's free version."

LucidChart vs LucidSpark for brainstorming sessions over Zoom
