    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.

    Well suited for
    Cross-teams communication.
    Webhooks support. Easy integrations with Atlassian products and other systems as well. File sharing directly or in a group. Video/Audio calls.
    Not suited for:
    Lacks apps integration like Slack.
    Lacks quality with video calls.
    Slow file transfer for large files.

    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.

    • HipChat is very stable and reliable. I have never had issues with not being able to connect or being able to communicate with others on HipChat.
    • HipChat integrates quite well with other applications, such as Jira and Stash. This is a main selling point for my team. It provides a convenient feed of actions on a JIRA story or Stash pull request.
    • HipCat does a good job of allowing 1-1 and group chats. It is simple to start a new conversation and it is easy to hold a group conversation and keep track of who is in the room.
    • I like how HipChat has away/here/on mobile statuses. This makes it easy to see if a person is available to be contacted.

    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.

    • Mobile app is not very responsive on iOS. Sometimes connection to Hipchat servers is taking too long even on good networks.
    • Both mobile and desktop versions have no alphabetical or recent sorting for groups and chat rooms.
    • Video and audio calls are pretty useless, they're slow and not always work.
    • The whole user interface is simple but very outdated - apparently Atlassian didn't focus too much on Hipchat even though they tried in the last 2 years.

    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

    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.

    The app itself had a pleasant if not generic interface. As a user experience expert and engineer I can say the interface is fairly intuitive if not bland. It does what you expect it to do and it's available on iOS and Android devices. If I recall it was generally pretty light weight in terms of installation size.

    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.

    HipChat support is good . Responds in timely manner when ever we have raised the request via email , phone and gives us continue update on the request .Though most of the questions are answered by HipChat FAQs , but they can still improve it and add more to the knowledge base .

    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.

    We tried a lot of chat clients before choosing HipChat. The Skype for Business UI on the Mac side was 5 years old and terrible. Mac users hated the app including our CTO. Cisco Jabber was expensive to license and maintain; Skype was open to the public which took time away due to users dealing with spam and could allow viruses and malware. HipChat being a closed product, centrally managed and available to try without an upfront investment was perfect for our environment. All our Agile teams have their own room, chat and can communicate with others quickly and easily.

    Actually I never shared of HipChat using with more than 25 persons in team simultaneously, but I believe it can be scaled for much largest collaboration teams. At least it works flawlessly for us, with transparent integration with Jira, and I am not see any reasons for some troubles for work at big scale.

    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.

    • HipChat has increased the effiency with which I am able to communicate with my coworkers, particularly those who work out of other offices. Having a light, portable messaging solution has been beneficial for checking in on small things without the need to send emails or schedule phone calls.
