Considered Both Products
GoTo Meeting
Chose GoTo Meeting
We do not allow Teams to connect externally from our network. Due to this restriction, GoTo Meeting has helped tremendously to facilitate meetings with external stakeholders.
Chose GoTo Meeting
GoTo Meeting is in the middle of the pack. The reason we utilized GoTo Meeting is because it was originally Jive. Jive was in our backyard, we knew the owner. When it was Jive, it worked great. We helped contribute to the jive applications, we used it for free for them and we …
Nextiva
Chose Nextiva
Provides a moral formal business line option. This system allowed for a much more streamline communication option for us. We are able to use the system with various applications. The price was also very reasonable for our needs and the services were customized to our business …
Chose Nextiva
For my current company, Nextiva made the most cost/use sense. I have used Jive before and the cost is much higher for the basic services we are using. Nextiva's support is also, as I have been mentioning, top notch, efficient and helpful.

User Testimonials

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.

We have had great service with Nextiva Business Phone Service and it is reliable and reasonably priced for the offered features. User Friendly and minimal issues. We are able to control most of the set up for new users and or new phones when needed. Only would like to see the app - Nextiva One be enhanced with more features than it currently has.

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.

  • Up-time, We've never had any sort of extended downtime because of Nextiva Business Phone Service, there services just work
  • Provisioning of supported devices is very easy to do and is almost automatic, this makes new device roll out especially smooth
  • The call flow functionality is especially smooth and intuitive to setup.
  • Their customer service is very effective and I've never waited more than 2 days for a solution, that's for more complicated issues too.

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.

  • The use of two apps when you're a supervisor. We have to use Unity and the Nextiva app instead of one app. It can be cumbersome.
  • Better integration with CRM's. We use Zendesk and it works ok as it does pull up customer records if we have their phone number on file. But it would be better if we could have more functionality from one place and have it write to the CRM directly.
  • Accept higher quality audio for greeting recordings. We had to trim the file size down several times losing a lot of audio quality in the process. Mono is fine since callers will only need to hear the one channel. But the Hz limit and file size limit were rough.

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

The features vs the cost is wonderful compared to other service providers.

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.

Very easy to use, if you're unsure about a functionality they have user manuals you can download to use or their support team via chat or call is very helpful and quick at resolving any issues. They also help when it comes to setting up users and reporting. Phone system is easy to follow with labels and easy to read.

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.

Support is great. We usually get someone on the phone; they answer our questions and help us with our issues. They are responsive when we call, and there is also a wealth of information on their online help center, which will typically answer our question or send us in the right direction.

No was done by Agency Owner and was done with the help of Nextiva Support and Sales team. Went very well and has been working great since then. Was originally only two phones and then we continue to add to that. We did not have any reported issues and was a great experience for our Agency and Small Business.

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 switched for better uptime, ease of use, and better tech support and got all that from Nextiva. We were constantly losing connection with our previous provider, a package service for internet and phone. The web portal is much easier to use, and the call center offers many more features.

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.

  • ROI - we are saving money, a lot of money, and we have a MUCH better phone system
  • Consolidation - we migrated 6 different phone systems in 6 different counties into one, and it's been wonderful!
  • Management - managing this system is so much better than Mitel, Panasonic, and any other system I have used. We are able to assign rights to certain staff to also make changes, and it's user friendly and almost fool proof.
