Likelihood to Recommend

GoToMeeting

GoToMeeting has allowed us to do away with a desk phone. With a headset and a laptop, calls are able to be taken whether you're in the office or remote. This platform is really ideal for today's workforce. I can't see an instance where it would not be appropriate.

GoToRoom

It works really well in a one on one settings when teachers are coordinating with individual trainers or workshops. It can be helpful as well during a team setting Q&A for follow up training. However, it is a struggle to use in large group settings when one presenter is speaking to a large group of people for trainings.

Pros

GoToMeeting

  • The record session feature is really good add on here.
  • GoToMeeting allows the meeting to continue even if it exceeds the time of the scheduled meeting. The meeting continues to run unlike zoom where it gets disconnected automatically when the time is over.
  • The audio quality is better than a lot of tools in the market.
  • It can run smoothly on windows and mac devices.

GoToRoom

  • Learning how to work through multiple documents or presentations in a call can be tricky.
  • Our rural setting does not allow for consistent internet connection, video is not always clear.
  • Audio can be limited to a large room setting in workshops.

ITI has not found an alternative software that can compete with the offerings of GTM. Our diverse needs (webinars, client meetings, internal training) cannot be met by any competitors at this time for our current cost. GTM is simple to use and has allowed ITI to really set ourselves apart from our competition.

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.

We have actually had fairly limited experience with customer support, which is a good thing since we have not really required it. The product is very stable and it is quite rare for significant challenges to arise. Also, the general ease of navigation of the product and the integration into calendars really eliminates the need for deep customer service

Haven’t had a chance to need to connect with the service staff as we haven’t had to deal with any large issues beyond internet bandwidth restrictions. However, we feel like support would be very quick and efficient if we were to need it. The observations of setting up our doc cams and getting connected with workshop presenters has been smooth so far.

Alternatives Considered

GoToMeeting

I prefer to use Zoom, as it seems to be more widely adopted by my industry. Matching up technologies is one of the first hurdles when trying to sell in a virtual environment. Also, Zoom seems to have more application integrations that can be added to its suite. We use an industry app for virtual conferences and trade shows that will only work on the Zoom platform.

GoToRoom does a great job of video conferencing with multiple users, similar to Zoom, but has easier access to documents similar to Google Classroom or Google Hangouts. It’s a nice blend of these three pieces of software.
