User Testimonials
	GoTo Meeting	GoTo Webinar	Skype (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	GoTo formerly LogMeIn 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. Incentivized Ashley Love System Administrator Read full review	GoTo formerly LogMeIn It is great for big events like training or product demos. It's good for marketing webinars with features like polls and Q&A. It's not ideal for small, casual meetings. It can be too expensive for some businesses. For smaller events, other tools might be better. Raj Keshari Software Developer Read full review	Discontinued Products Having interacted with a new replacement tool, Microsoft Teams, it is challenging to recommend Skype, as it lacks some essential features, such as being less equipped with the latest updates, and it is not platform-independent, causing issues on PCs and phones, as well as during calls that might hinder work. Incentivized Hitesh Gautam Cloud engineer Read full review
Pros	GoTo formerly LogMeIn 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.

Very straightforward, easy to use, easy to learn, no technical issues. Video calls are pretty easy also, user friendly and a mostly stable connection with no issues. Voice calls are easy also, eliminates the need for an external landline or the need to use your cell phone. Clear connections, not really any dropped calls.

Cons	GoTo formerly LogMeIn 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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	GoTo formerly LogMeIn 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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Discontinued Products Skype is a RESOURCE hog. People who have limited bandwidth will have poor call quality. It is hard to figure out how to use emojis and upload images in the chat. The background images do not fool anybody....it is clearly not your real background.

Likelihood to Renew	GoTo formerly LogMeIn 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 Incentivized Asif Ali Khan Software company Read full review	GoTo formerly LogMeIn 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. Samantha Safin Data Analyst & System Admin Read full review	Discontinued Products I have given this rating as this need to give more than that as it's very helpful for us and makes our work more efficient and fast.

Usability	GoTo formerly LogMeIn 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. Incentivized Rusty Angell Field Correspondent Read full review	GoTo formerly LogMeIn This is very easy to set up, configure, onboard, and use. The features can be explored without much ado. In-webinar and post-webinar features are also used seamlessly. Any new person can self-train in minutes and be hands-on. I love the overall usability of this tool. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Discontinued Products Skype is not as good as Facetime in terms of ease to glance at it and figure out how it works. I think that's a result of Skype trying to be too many things at once. A lot of the menu and UI could be streamlined, and I would jettison some of the additional functions that have been tacked on over the years to simplify. That being said, while some options are slightly hard to find, they all work flawlessly once found. Incentivized Daniel Epstein Producer/Videographer/Editor Read full review
Reliability and Availability	GoTo formerly LogMeIn This application has always been available. Never an issue Incentivized Erin Easterberg Director of Billing & accounts receivable Read full review	GoTo formerly LogMeIn I rated GoTo Webinar a 9 out of 10 for availability because it generally performs reliably, with minimal application errors or unplanned outages. The platform’s high uptime ensures that it’s usually accessible when needed, supporting a seamless experience for scheduling and conducting webinars. While occasional minor issues may arise, they are infrequent and typically well-managed, contributing to a strong overall rating for availability.

Performance	GoTo formerly LogMeIn This application is fast. Loads fast, no stall Incentivized Erin Easterberg Director of Billing & accounts receivable Read full review	GoTo formerly LogMeIn I rated GoTo Webinar an 8 out of 10 for performance due to its generally robust capabilities. Pages load quickly, and reports are generated efficiently, even for complex data sets. The platform’s integration with other systems typically doesn’t introduce significant latency or performance issues. However, during peak usage times or when handling very large data volumes, there can be occasional slowdowns. Despite these instances, GoTo Webinar consistently provides strong performance and reliability in its core functions.

Support Rating	GoTo formerly LogMeIn 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. Incentivized Parker O'Very Marketing Operations Read full review	GoTo formerly LogMeIn 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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Discontinued Products I am not aware of the current support level for Skype for business, as I have never used even though I have the product. However, the support for Skype's personal paid users is not where it could be. Users who pay for Skype features do not have a clear path to reach out to support. So, rating 6, can be better as soon as I need to use Skype for business support and get a good experience. I will say that I will renew Skype for Business subscription, which is a significant inconsistency on my end. The explanation is that Skype for Business comes bundled with Office for Business, with no additional cost, so why not. Incentivized Ricardo G Lopes English Interpreter & Translator Read full review
Implementation Rating	GoTo formerly LogMeIn It was very easy and self-explanatory. Incentivized James Roy Office Manager Read full review	GoTo formerly LogMeIn 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. Incentivized Alice Zinesi Freelance Read full review	Discontinued Products It can be used on the phone via mobile application as well as on the desktop by logging in to the website.

Alternatives Considered	GoTo formerly LogMeIn 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. Incentivized Jeremy Herman Engineer Read full review	GoTo formerly LogMeIn GoToWebinar has a user-friendly interface and intuitive controls. When comparing it with other platforms, assess how easily you can navigate through features, set up events, and engage with participants. Connection stability, audio and video quality seem pretty much ok. Interactive polls, Q&A sessions, recording options are also working fine and provide to the user experience Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Discontinued Products We use Skype in combination with Grasshopper. While Grasshopper acts as a routing toll free number with extensions, if we are making calls directly, we do it through Skype. Skype's desktop and mobile apps are easier to use, and provide unlimited local calls at a flat, affordable rate. Allowing our team to use their existing mobile or desktop devices without additional hardware for business office phone calls is important, and Skype makes that possible Incentivized Bryan McAnulty Owner / Founder Read full review
Scalability	GoTo formerly LogMeIn No answers on this topic	GoTo formerly LogMeIn I rated GoTo Webinar an 8 out of 10 for scalability because it effectively supports deployment across multiple departments and sites with its flexible features. It allows for easy management of large-scale webinars and integration with various systems, accommodating a growing number of users and sessions. However, some users might find limitations in advanced customization or specific integration needs as their requirements become more complex. Overall, its robust capabilities and adaptability make it a strong choice for scalable webinar solutions.

Return on Investment	GoTo formerly LogMeIn 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. Incentivized Mahedi Hassan Network Engineer Read full review	GoTo formerly LogMeIn GoTo Webinar has been an excellent way to stay relevant and to get current topics/information to our target audience. We usually get 100-200 attendees per session in a niche market, many are international attendees The ability to get specific data from the audience via custom registration questions allows us to really focus on what they want to see. Verified User Read full review	Discontinued Products Skype made keeping in touch with an advisor in Mexico very easy. The initiative there resulted in 5 new partnerships. Skype has helped me with account management for at least 3 customers in LATAM--usually it's a fast way to answer a question about a support renewal. For about 9 months Skype helped me stay in touch with a colleague in Prague. We would meet once a week to go over sales activities. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
