GoTo Meeting vs. StarLeaf (discontinued)

Microsoft Teams has always given us issues if we run an extensive meeting with more than 30 participants. Often, HR would train many people at once, and call quality would degrade or crash. This provides a good alternative when Teams is not working correctly, but we must continue orientation or training. It is inappropriate for all meetings since we are embedded in the Microsoft ecosystem, and Teams integrates well with SharePoint.

StarLeaf is good because it is allowing our Company and global teams to create and conduct meetings and video calls. However, the mic often has issues as well as connection problems. The mobile app is excellent for joining the video conf calls.

• Calendar Scheduling: It prepares us for all meetings, automatically sends reminders, and ensures we never miss a meeting.

• The screen-sharing feature allows us to present documents and plans effortlessly during client calls.
• We use the recording feature extensively for training purposes, especially for the onboarding of new members.

• Integrating teams around the world.
• The connection from StarLeaf to IBM Lotus Notes calendar is very useful.

Incentivized

• Lack of security updates (Not sure if they are taking care of but they should make users aware of it frequently)
• Brand recognition improvement (Specifically in the US market where many customers still prefer Zoom)
• Many prospects still consider GoTo as a legacy platform compared to Meet, Teams, Zoom. This is not a missing feature but GoTo team should really position themselves as innovative rather than pre-existing perceived notion of being legacy.

• The microphone has lots of issues, specially in the beginning of calls.
• Quality of the sound sometimes is not the greatest.

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 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.
