GoTo has been fantastic for office and remote work. No matter where our people are in the world, they can be reached by DID or extension through the phone or computer apps. When an employee is out, his line can be forwarded easily from the local phone or apps and can be forwarded to multiple numbers if necessary. The forwarding can be turned off just as easily. The only challenge there is that if it is forwarded from the local phone, it can not be adjusted remotely. This is not a big deal unless you need to keep your office locked but are not using the app find me/follow me feature.

Making a dedicated button for "mute all" (other than yourself) for when someone "walks off before they mute"/has to quickly leave their computer....and FORGOT to Mute. Particularly when dogs are barking when someone working from home has a visitor at the door
I'd like to see some of the functionality from GoTo Webinar enabled for GoTo Connect: see who's "actively watching" vs has their computer screen on another application

They are knocking it out of the park on all fronts. I love the service and support I am receiving and have no complaints. If they raised their prices substantially I would reconsider but I don't think that will happen anytime soon. They would have to mess up something consistently moving forward to make me want to move
Overall, it's a decent product for the price. It has the basic features our company needed when it was brand new and was not overly difficult to set up. As we've grown, it's become increasingly difficult to build out the features we want to implement within the PBX, and customer support can be less than helpful. Many of the more advanced features (dial plans, queues, etc.) take a lot of research to understand how to implement. Some of the features we paid for weren't even available when we were attempting to set them up.
I have never experienced or heard of unplanned outages when it comes to GoTo Connect. Most of the time the unplanned outage is always local power at a site or internet service provider having an unplanned outage. GoTo's service has never failed any of our orgs yet that I know of.
There is no lag in phone calls. There is no background noise or static/fuzz. Calls are crystal clear. With other dialers and phone systems, I have experienced delays between dialogue or delays with the caller picking up the phone and then being able to hear you. We do not experience this with Go To Connect.
Support used to be great when it was Jive support out of Utah. Now that they've offshored support it can be difficult to get a response. Our most common issues are least cost routing, and we run into support pushing back in stead of just figuring out which upstream carrier is having an issue like they used to. We often have to get our account manager involved, who is pretty strong.
The training videos could be more in-depth. This would help our user base so that they can feel impowered to look up information that they need without having to ask our admins every time they have a question about the system. Online training videos are also inferior to an actual person explaining systems.
One big lesson we learned is that training the team well makes a huge difference. It was easier when we started with the fundamental features, such as the way calls are handled. Getting staff involved early helped us set it up the right way. So I would say my experience with implementation was straightforward.
Avaya IP Office was for us a complicated and inflexible on-prem solution. It could be made to do a great many things similar to GoTo, however it was not flexible and scalable in the same way as GoTo, which is to be expected of a cloud solution. In particular, as we aimed to build out a contact center, IP office could not do it in a work-from-anywhere environment, and the softphone provided almost no information to the agent. GoTo solved all of the problems we were encountering with IP office, with the added benefit of not needing continously upgrading licensing - as GoTo is a one-license solution.
The results we have obtained with RemoteMeeting have been unparalleled, it is an online meeting solution that improves the way we share screen perfectly from anywhere because it provides collaboration tools for more efficient meetings from offering virtual backgrounds, face focus to automatically detect the face on the screen, separate video and information display for multiple monitors, simplicity security and speed is a perfect tool.
Its not readily apparent to me, other than cost, where you would run into any issues with larger scale deployments. When we went live on the product, the Jive team was always willing to do mass updates for us on our extensions, users, etc. in the system, so we didn't have to do too much manual one-by-one updates.
To combine SMS and call answering by one of many individuals and voicemail recordings with voice to text in their emails has allowed us to give substantially better customer service to our customers.
We used to host our own hardware, but since going with GoTo Connect we no longer dread a piece of equipment going bad or keep a full spare in reserve. This has saved us money and our sanity.
RemoteMeeting has a positive impact on my organization by offering simplified meetings that significantly increase the collaboration and productivity of my work team, offering cloud-based virtual meeting solutions that improve customer relations, reduce work time and additional costs, as well as Provide progress in projects and efficiency.
It is a video conferencing solution that improves the way we communicate with colleagues, customers, employees, partners and suppliers with a simplified experience with privacy protection, making all participants feel comfortable and safe in meetings, since we use RemoteMeeting. Work flow has increased by 15%, sales have increased and work teams develop a better relationship with each other.
