Compare GoToMeeting with other popular tools in the same category.
The ability for multiple colleagues to talk rapidly and be seen at the same time has been helpful to our process.
The platform's occasional hiccups and limit of six participants tends to make transitioning from speaker to speaker difficult
We are able to hold seminars with leaders across continents and time zones.
it is easy to use and allows multiple users, it can be managed by the creator of the meeting or by the other users. the presentation for power point is really good and it allows you to share different ways
the connection is sometimes broken, the links are not working and the password is not shown and the beginning making it difficult to use, sometimes the voice or the audio is lost. the pointer can not be seen when you are presenting
as an international company with clients all over the globe we can connect with them and show results and connect people from different places
Very commonly used platform by business professionals. Easy to access.
Typically bad quality audio and often buggy with login and connection issues. Not that smooth with UI.
Finding a single platform to have meetings with clients both in the US and internationally. The product works for what its intended use is.
I found it easy to install and setup and use.
I found another program (Zoom) that is easier and more user friendly
Conference calls from participants in various places. The benefits are that it is A LOT easier to schedule when we do not all have to be in the same place.
I like that it is a fast way to communicate with people within your company
I dislike that it constantly has log in issues and is at times really slow to use especially when you are going to have a meeting.
sometimes meetings are delayed with log in issues but when it works on the first try its great
The solution worked great for years but over the past 6 months, the technology has basically broken down
This product is highly unreliable, even more so in recent months
I use GoToMeeting for about 20 meetings per week. It used to work very well but lately it's been creating invalid links, not accepting access codes and flat out dropping calls
- Ability to hide the tool side- nav. handy mic that follows to mute unmute and do other stuff -
When i used it, - Not cross-platform - Performance issues with huge user base - Not cloud based solution - No mobile support 0
- remote video meetings/ conferencing screen sharing
It is ubiquitous in the workplace. It's used by a lot of people and many industries and is backed by Citrix. You would think that would count for something.
It's spendy, and I found the customer support to be a little lacking in comparison to other software.
This is used for my salespeople to conduct demonstrations for potential clients. The problems are showing remote clients what our product does. The benefits are that we can use the scheduler to plan demos.
I like GoToMeeting for quick screenshares.
Software for GoTOWebinar is often buggy - they like PC more than Mac integrations
Helps sales team meet with interested customers.
Competitive pricing and easy login compared to Webex.
Challenges loading app with new users, insufficient global telephone numbers for conferences
client meetings, presentations, internal meetings
I like the benefits of connecting with remote team members and viewing presentations.
When I switched to Windows 8, only 1/4 of my laptop screen was visible to other participants. I searched help to correct this problem, but found other users were having the same problem.
We switched to another software vendor for our meeting solutions.
GoToMeeting was a great option until I realized there were tons of other free options out there doing the exact same thing.
I thought it was inexpensive, till I realized that they charge way to much for what they are offering.
Could host meetings via the web and record the conversations.
It is mostly very easy to use as a presenter.
Every time there is an update to the software, they place the application shortcut on my desktop. Very annoying. Service has been intermittent lately. Hard for the people who are being presented to to easily understand how to change the screen size and resolution for the presenting window.
Cuts down on travel and makes it very easy to get on the same page with customer prospects.
Gotomeeting is more reliable than some competitors.
Setup is a pain, and i've been on many a webcast that has crashed or not worked properly.
Not provided
I wouldn't say I like using this platform.
Unable to join from browser, have to download most of the time locally. Unable to have more than 100 users join the meeting.
It allows me to connect with users outside my organization.
easy to use during the course of business.
I didn't like it. It set off too many alerts for my team
Troubleshooting It software and updates
Nothing is suitable for this software, it's amateurish and needs a lot of updates
Everything of it is dislikable, nothing good in it
Nothing is solved with it, it's just adding more problems in meeting
I appreciate that GoToMeeting works across multiple different operating systems, so that meeting participants do not need to have a specific device or prior experience to join meetings.
While GoToMeeting has been very help for exclusively presentation-based meetings, it is not very user friendly or helpful as a technology for collaborative meetings and discussion.
Using GoToMeeting to attend webinars has been very helpful as it can accommodate a large number of attendees and allows for easy information sharing between one speaker and a large audience.
I see no benefits of this application that other software does not do better.
Very slow loading and response time and does not integrate well with other applications. Frequent issues connecting.
GoToMeeting is only used when an outside partner sends the request. Other applications (Zoom, for example) are much more efficient.
It is still the same archaic platform since 2017
Don't need to pay for it. Google Meet and other platforms make paying for it obsolete. Worst customer service. High pressure sales. We cancelled and they have charged us 5 months after still. They confirmed our cancellation by email, and refuse to acknowledge the email from their company
Zero. GoToMeeting is a problem
It is a platform that allows you to meet others in a business setting. The basics are free also.
It isn't easy to get onto a meeting at all. It has confusing directions on whether to downloasd the app or just continue to view it in the browser. It is very frustrating to know if you have to sign in or not too. I have tried both and it still won't take me to a particular meeting. It is amateur at best.
I am not solving any problems on GoToMeeting because I am having a great deal of difficulty getting on a meeting in this platform. I do not know of any befefits.
GoToMeeting has many excellent features and is relatively easy to learn - there are YouTube tutorials available for beginners.
It is painful to use. You are required to restart the computer to be able to launch the meeting. Another problem is how expensive it is to use for hosting your meetings. It is costly for the average individual.
Not traveling for in-person meetings. Depending on where you live, winter can be brutal. I was hoping for GoToMeetings to solve the headache of traveling to tutor students and teach students but it did not meet my expectations at all.
I like the ease of of setting up a meeting and creating a self generated email that is easy to copy and send to your invitees. It is very easy to set up your account and get meetings scheduled.
The screen sharing feature needs to be improved. When you hit your screen share button, unless the settings are pre - arranged you lose the faces of your group you are presenting to. When they do show up they are in a side bar that is hard to see them and interact with them. This has caused me to be some what distracted at times during presentations.
The biggest problem it has solved for me is commuting and the ability to give my presentation visually and not verbally on the phone. This has been a game changer for me personally. Instead of spending hours behind the wheel with a lot of windshield time, I am able to be more productive by getting clients to log in to a face to face meeting. I have realized less drive time giving me more to time to complete work related tasks. It has also saved me from showing up and having been ghosted on the meeting. There is nothing more frustrating than arriving and then not having your prosepective client not show up with no communciation. The benefit of having them RSVP and sending auto notifications of the meeting have help alleviate the problem of conveniently forgetting about an in - person meeting.
The software is like the "little girl with curl in the middle of her forehead" - when it is good it is very, very good, but when it is bad and needs customer support it is horrid
I have been trying for two weeks to get support to address the problem I am having with Go To Meeting not being able to connect or detect my camera and even failing to load sometimes. They are unable to solve the problem and each new tech support purpose is totally unaware of what the previous person has tried. One even sent me tips about how to fix my microphone when all my concerns have been with my camera. Incidentally, the camera works perfectly with Zoom.
When it works I am able to participate in meetings with my staff and run public proceedings with numerous participants.
It's a method to communicate. But there are better options.
That you have to download software to your computer to use and it's buggy.
Conference calls, shared screens, recording presentations. Benefits realized, not much over other meeting options.
Nothing as the user interface was old and boring and not 21st century like.
Basically everything about the software.
No problems as such just prefer using others that have no connection issues and are more streamlined.
A software which seems very secure and hard to connect. Ability to call via phone and join the meeting in a real-time. Very straight forward screen sharing.
Very hard to connect and the necessary requirement to start a simple meeting.
Connecting to the clients and colleagues abroad.
Goto meeting is a platform that is able to do video conferencing calls. It is useful if you are trying to set this up with multiple parties. I have used this a few times without problem, but it is not the best for video conferencing.
There are other competitors in the space that have better user interfaces. The platform seems a bit outdated and is not as user friendly compared to popular video conferencing platforms. You also have to pay to use this and other platforms offer free solutions with overall better UI.
Video conferencing calls occasionally.
the video quality was decent, but no better than any other software i've used.
I don't like that I had to download an app to use it.
Used it because Knopman Marks was giving their classes that way, and it was the only option
It is relatively easy to use. The product "once installed" is simple. There are some functionalities that they hide and you cannot adjust unless you call their customer service which is bogus but it works well overall.
Customer service is mediocre. We had an issue where it would force new users to automatically have their webcam on.. With the recent transition to everyone being remote often times people aren't prepared or expecting to be on camera during a GoToMeeting conference call. I had to call customer service - sit on hold for almost an hour and have them turn it off on their end. They also switched from a classic view to a newly updated view - The newly updated view is garbage. I made our GoToMeeting automatically default to the old version because it is easier to use and button reappear that aren't there with the new version.
Connecting with our customers around the world. It is great to connect with customers in foreign countries that you cannot just pick up the phone and dial. It is also great for three way conference calls.
