    Well-suited to working on presentations or PowerPoint-style documents, including setting up templated slides and working collaboratively on presentations. It's less well-suited to setting up printable documents, though I have used it for simple printable documents, you just need to remember to set the slide size to A4 (or your preferred paper size) measurements.

    I provide regular training as a big portion of my job. There is weekly training with an infinite number of users in attendance on any given date—GoTo Meeting is not the best option for this because I would have to mute users as they join the meeting. However, I also provide frequent training sessions to a small number of users that feature more individualized content, and having them able to mute/unmute at will is a better fit for a smaller group with in-depth materials.

    Pros

    • Real-time collaboration makes it easy for multiple people to work on one presentation or deck.
    • Sharing is very straight forward, so it's easy to keep control of who can do or can't do.
    • Flexible so it's uses don't stop in presentations.

    • Excellent audio and video quality.
    • Functional and easy-to-use screen-sharing feature for product demonstrations and presentations.
    • Possibility of recording meetings that we can later review and share with those who could not attend.
    • Possibility of managing the microphone of the participants in host mode so as not to disturb the entire event.

    Cons
    Google
    • The slides generated by the "Beautify this slide" feature are not editable. You need to prompt again to make the changes you want.
    • You don't have a way to switch to another company template. For example, if you want to switch from light to dark theme, you can't.
    • The layout of the Animations sequence is not easy to read.

    • We occasionally experience slow performance during screen sharing.
    • The help center should have detailed tutorials on commonly asked FAQs and also to initially set up the profile.
    • One of my initial thoughts regarding recordings was to edit them in the future when the product changes.

    The popularity for Google Slides among the casual technology tool users is so great that we are not in a position to replace this tool with anything else. Every other tool either doesn't have the popularity, or doesn't match the ease of sharing level of Slides. The training needed to learn a different tool is too great. Google Slides is very easy to pick up and master.

    We used other software like goto meetings but found it best because of its user friendly interface and easy interfacing. It helped us in COVID and now we can say we are depending on it and love it. We recommend it to our friends company and they are also using it. It is very affordable and easy to integrate with system

    Usability
    Google
    Google Slides is very easy and intuitive for creating simple, straightforward presentations. Its limitations make for less decision making. Being part of the Google Suite makes for easy sharing and collaboration, auto-saving, and time-stamped versions/edit history. However, unlike a platform like Canva, there's no icon library, photos, graphics, or elements built-in, so if you're wanting more creative designs, you have to import or create yourself.

    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.

    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.

    Many times, it seems like GoTo Meeting requires less bandwidth to run. We noticed with a few test machines that if you have over twenty video streams, this product could handle the load better than if we used Microsoft Teams and had many video streams.

    • Any collaboration app these days are now a great addition for those organizations which have more than one office and they need to collaborate with each other.
    • GoTo Meeting can contribute to cost savings by reducing the need for extensive travel, accommodation, and related expenses associated with in-person meetings especially in case like us as we have multiple branches.
