When exploring virtual meeting solutions, we evaluated alternatives such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams. GoTo Meeting stood out for its user-friendly interface, robust features, and a reputation for reliability, making it the preferred choice for our organization's diverse virtual …
GoToMeeting has greater flexibility in live streaming, file sharing and collaborative work. Zoom does well when there is the need for only one person to be in control of the meeting. GoToMeeting has become the product that is easiest to use and train new employees how to use.
GoToMeeting is a solid basic option for remote meetings/teleconferencing. Although my team uses Zoom now, we had great experiences with GoToMeeting. I rarely if ever experienced poor video or audio quality, and I never heard my logistics team complain about GoToMeeting's …
GoToMeeting allows staff to create seminars and run them as a class where Skype can be used for a call and tends to glitch when adding others to create a full conference. GoToMeeting allows for more of a group setting, which helps grow a program and audience.
We selected GoToMeeting for its recording capabilities, but Skype now offers the same functionality without the cluttered/confusing GoToMeeting UI, and with a good degree of user competency from folks using it in their personal lives. Compared to the competition, GoToMeeting …
GoToMeeting is about as easy to use as Zoom and BlueJeans. It is comparable to Amazon Chime, but less integrated than Google Hangouts/Chat. Almost all these solutions include file sharing, screen sharing, chat, and polling. The most helpful features are dial-in numbers and …
In all honesty, there is very little difference from features and functionality standpoint from GoToMeeting and their primary competitors. It boils down to interface and ease of use for me. GoToMeeting is highly reliable and has evolved enough over time to keep me as an 8-year …
GoToMeeting out competes all, simply because GoToMeeting UI is so simple to use there is no need for additional manuals or tutorials to read on how to use it. The benefits and features are very helpful to us, and also getting on a session instantly is very quick without any …
Cost is more when you use GoToMeeting compared to ScreenConnect but with that you do gain easier setup and a few more features. The integration of both are very easy to use and the customization of both are equivalent as well.
All have nice features, and no single one seems to have everything, but I like GoToMeeting best because it is an industry standard that most people are familiar with and it works consistently even when some people connect by phone and others by VoIP.
ITI has considered join.me as an alternative to GTM. Join.me did not have the full functionality like GTM and we could not record and download meetings for future reference. The one benefit of join.me was that it did not require attendees to download any software on their end …
I used WebEx at my last job. GoToMeeting seems to have a friendlier interface and is easier to log in, record presentations, as well as tracking attendees froma moderator perspective. I like that GoToMeeting will automatically create an Outlook invitation to forward onto …
It stacks up very well for what it is designed for. I found no alternative that I could do as good of job at registration, conferencing, and capturing responses in one platform. I prefer the join.me interface and desktop UI to gotomeeting, but they do not have a competing tool …
GoTo Webinar simply looks much much more professional - it is the standard and professional go-to (quite literally) when it comes to presenting information in an easy, secure, accessible way. We also attempted to/used to following: Vimeo, GoTo Meeting, Google Hangouts Meet, …
We tried GoTo Meeting before and I think that GoTo Webinar stacks up against GoTo Meeting by being quite similar. They both share a lot of similar features but I beleive Goto Webinar targets those who have larger groups within the meeting. GoTo Webinar also allows for …
We needed more participant seats. Plus you can either buy a GoTo Meeting, or buy a GoTo Webinar and get a free GoTo Meeting with it. It is more cost effective that way.
GoToWebinar has quite a few competitors however the pre-, during, and post-webinar features that GoToWebinar offers helps it to soar over these other options. GoToWebinar's email reminders to clients, Q/A during the session, and post-survey follow-up keep your client engaged …
We preferred the GoToWebinar interface over WizIQ. GoToWebinar controls are simple and intuitive. Our teaching staff are scattered around the globe, so we have to have a platform that is super easy to use. We don't have resources for a lot of face-to-face training. We haven't …
I've used GoToWebinar at multiple different organizations, and it continues to be the most affordable, functional and easy to use remote desktop tool on the market. Webex has grown more and more expensive over the last decade, and BlueJeans is complicated and confusing to use.
I have used BlueJeans' video conferencing service for some of our work with other agencies. BlueJeans, unlike GoToWebinar, requires a separate software download, which is quite cumbersome. The sharing of controls is also far more difficult and often leads to long pauses while …
I selected gotowebinar as it was offering trial mode and I liked it. But I still think with number of participants that gotowebinar is allowing comparing to others they will need to think about lowering price and extending their capacities.
GoTo meeting is great for quick and painless virtual meetings. I have used it many times to quickly organize projects and staff into a simple meeting. Generally speaking, we have been able to share screens, cameras, and collaborate on important projects. Where it starts to fall short is in the presentation or training area. It is difficult for students to interact with things like reactions, taking control of a screen, or letting the presenter know they have a question.
It is well suited for a mass audience of at least 100 plus. Polling features, audience engagement features, and seamless audio and video are some of the qualities that make the product feel very mature. It might not be well suited if the company or target audience is small, they could very well use the regular, teams or Skype for Business without paying extra.
Audio - many of my customers cannot use PC audio because their microphones are not recognized
When I send out a meeting invite from Outlook, the message includes a default link to Teams, so there is much confusion at the time the meeting starts. Most users end up in Teams while I wait in GTM
The screen share options are quite confusing for my customers. They never know what to share or how to share
Can't schedule recurring webinars twice per week or every other week--must manually add or delete instances.
Can't schedule recurring webinars more than 'x' number of instances (less than a year's worth).
If you want a recurring webinar to continue past the last instance (in order to keep the same link), your only option is to manually add future instances before the last one occurs. If the last instance occurs, the webinar (and corresponding link) are archived with no recourse and you must recreate it from scratch and update every bit of external collateral with a new link. So I have to have reminders on my calendar every 6 months to go in and add additional dates for all my recurring webinars in order to keep my links active.
Canceling/changing seats is a huge pain.
The default 'join' screen is app-based rather than web based, so registrants often have to download GTW. I have a lot of clients whose computers are locked down from unapproved apps and have missed the webinar because the ability to join on the web is very unintuitive.
While we have found GoTo Meeting to be very useful and a part of our normal way of doing business, there are alternatives that are more cost-effective. For example, Microsoft Teams is available as part of our M365 subscription. This will require us to complete a cost analysis to determine which product makes more sense for us to move forward with.
Our largest issue with GoTo have been the limitations on recording and using recordings to host a webinar, and the biggest of those is the ability to record. We have had most of our webinars recorded successfully, but when it failed to save, it failed in a big way. Their customer service team was there to help, but they were unable to truly fix the problem. There are, of course, other providers, but as we are still seeing where hosted webinars fit in our marketing strategy, cost is an important factor. Since our company already uses GoToMeeting, it makes more sense for us to stay with the entire suite of products, especially while we are testing the strategy as a whole.
The simplicity of GoToMeetings desktop, mobile, and web-based applications make it a very robust and user-friendly meeting solution. At times, it may be more complex than needed, but it is nice to have so many features that can be used if needed. Once installed, it is very easy to use and navigate.
Mostly about the platform's intuitive interface. It makes it easy to navigate and use. Clear menus, well-organized controls, and a straightforward layout contribute to a positive user experience. The reliability of the platform in terms of connection stability, audio quality, and video clarity contributes to overall usability. A dependable connection ensures a smooth experience for both hosts and participants.
When we have issues, they seem to respond quickly and do everything they can to help us. They have even tried to find other ways we could get more use out of their product, or improve the way we are currently using it. Overall, their support has been fairly good for us.
I was always able to get someone on the phone when I needed to. They were very thorough and ensuring my questions were answered. And if I was asking for a solution or request that they didn't offer, they told me so I could at least stop trying to search for it.
I didn't participate in the implementation nor did my company. As far as I know we have an IT office running alla these projects and we just use the final products for our educational purposes. I also didn't notice implementation at any level while using the desktop interface, but would immediately recognize it, if so.
We use Zoom for the entire organization because it’s far more cost effective. But, my role as training manager requires my use of GTM to allow all the required features that make my training sessions the most productive. I would always prefer to use GTM over Zoom because the platform is so easy and user friendly yet amazingly powerful. Zoom has the features for the most part, but they aren’t as intuitive to use in my experience
Zoom caters to a much higher attendee count. GoTo Webinar has more intuitive, user-friendly tools that most people can pick up on their own. Zoom is more tailored and customizable to suit your specific needs. GoTo Webinar is significantly cheaper with fewer add-ons....
