Chose GlobalMeet Collaboration (discontinued)
To be honest, GlobalMeet is what my company offers which is why I use it. I follow the company's lead and this seems to be the service that most organizations are going with. I have not had a desire to try other services because this service meets my needs and the needs of my …
I was not involved in the purchasing decision, but choose GlobalMeet over Skype in some situations since not all organizations permit their colleagues to join other Skype environments. WebEx is not widely deployed in the organization. I have just started using Teams, and I am …
GlobalMeet is great as a conference call service, but the audio quality of phones is inherently lacking. It can be difficult to understand speakers and there are often dropouts and distortion on the call. The lack of integration with calendars is a huge issue for me. Teams …
I think Teams is easier to use, however, I have a call-in number for GlobalMeet, so it is easy for me to set up meetings through GlobalMeet and then call in from anywhere. Generally, I think other companies have done more to progress their product than GlobalMeet, but again, …
Similar platform between the two. I'm familiar with GlobalMeet so it maybe easier for me to use. I do like the ability to keep chat, documents, etc. in Microsoft Teams so that all can go back and review or edit. This feature might be available on GlobalMeet but I'm not aware of …
GlobalMeet Collaboration is a Tier 1 app that can support large organizations like TIAA, which has over 15K associates. It has all the major functionality that is required to handle most meeting scenarios. Cannot speak to the cost as that is managed by our vendor management …
GlobalMeet just “gets it” which is a rarity in the collaboration world. We tried Skype and it’s good for some things but ultimately we went with GlobalMeet Collaboration because of the reliability. And after all this time we still enjoy the features and overall platform as a …
WebEx seems to be a better product than GlobalMeet from a user functionality standpoint and a hosting standpoint. It is more intuitive, and I have never had a technical issue when using WebEx.
I have used Skype for web calls in the past and have had no issues with it. It is the best conference tool I have used. I would not recommend GlobalMeet. It is too buggy and there are better solutions out there. Teleconferencing is becoming more of the norm and we need a …
GlobalMeet seems to drop fewer calls than some of the other services I have used. Skype drops calls often. Zoom would be my next choice if GlobalMeet were not an option.
GlobalMeet far exceeds Webex given the ease of use and it does not seem to require the higher speed internet that Webex does which is important for my team given remote locations. I only utilize Skype or hangouts for interoffice meetings or for meetings where there are less …
We haven't transitioned fully to GlobalMeet for webinars yet, so we are continuing to use GoToMeeting for webinars. However, we use GlobalMeet on a limited basis for our larger conference calls.
GlobalMeet Collaboration was here before I was, however, it is a total piece of junk. It was selected as our tool because it was cheap and their parent organization is a board company. Their upgrades remove features instead of adding them. They keep saying things are going to …
GlobalMeet is well suited for an organization that wants a simple web conference platform with no added features. It seems like this is the way to go if you want to not spend a lot of money for a service. GlobalMeet is not well suited for large organizations, or someone who needs to host multiple meetings and needs robust features such as attendance tracking, presentation sharing, and ease of use.
Recording feature useful to playback information from the meeting
Accessibility of domestic and international call in numbers make it possible for participants to call in no matter where they are traveling or located.
There is a cost for the conferencing services unlike competitors like FreeConferenceCall.com or Skype which have free options. However, you pay for what you get and the audio/connection quality can and has been an issue for us with other vendors.
There are a lot of shortcuts that can be used on the line to mute/unmute lines, record the audio, request operator assistance, etc. However, these are difficult to memorize so we end up forgetting or relying on a print-out of the shortcuts that we keep near our desks. I wish there was an easier way to use these such as voice commands.
In the post-conference email recaps you get the phone numbers of those who dialed in. However, it can be difficult to know who these numbers belong to unless you remember the direct #s for the participants. I wish there was a way to save contact info for certain phone numbers within the system and let GlobalMeet add the names to the numbers for all future post-conference emails.
GlobalMeet is not a very good tool. There are better web meeting platforms available in the marketplace. The system is clunky, not intuitive, and experiences often technical issues. They have made updates recently but it is too little too late. It may be a good platform for smaller organizations with tighter budgets.
I have provided such a high rating because setting up the meeting only requires a few clicks. Within a couple minutes of telling my team that I will set up a meeting and send an invite, that invitation is already sitting in their inbox. I move at a fast pace and GlobalMeet is keeping up
For the most part GlobalMeet loaded everything quickly. The only problem that we had was when the whole company was on a training at one time, we had a hard time with screen sharing and the pages loading in a timely manner. Everything seemed to slow down when lots of people were on the system at once
As previously mentioned, I was in charge of facilitating a weekly meeting with 60 attendees. I had major issues with the screenshare crashing repeatedly during the meeting. I got in contact with a GlobalMeet Technician immediately. He was extremely responsive and worked with my technician to resolve all of the issues quickly. After his intervention, I never had the same issue again.
I was not involved in the purchasing decision, but choose GlobalMeet over Skype in some situations since not all organizations permit their colleagues to join other Skype environments. WebEx is not widely deployed in the organization. I have just started using Teams, and I am not as familiar with using it yet. However, I have had success with joining other organizations that use Teams on a call. It is disappointing that functionality such as the whiteboard is not mutually available in those situations (yet).
The price for webinar for GlobalMeet is quite pricey compared to other similar vendors.
GlobalMeet can be used for unlimited free calls and video conferencing, hence in our company with extensive global calls this platform is very cost-effective.
Unlike most conferencing software. Other users don't have to download GlobalMeet App and therefore it is easy to send meeting invite to clients.
Attentively support system that responds fast to queries and this saves time for us.
