GoTo Meeting vs. StarLeaf (discontinued)

It enhance the overall coordination and synergy among team members, fostering a conducive environment for in-depth project requirement deliberations. The versatility of this communication tool empowers us to engage in interactive discussions, share insights, and align our strategies cohesively, thereby contributing significantly to the success and efficiency of our project management endeavors.

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.

• You have to download an app that doesn't work well in order to blur the speakers and hosts background. I tried the third party app a few times, but its terrible.
• I think the Customer service is ok
• In my opinion, if you don't have the latest updates to your computer, it won't run properly.
• Sometimes the host video doesn't appear.

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

While we have found GoTo Meeting to be very useful and a part of our normal way of doing business, there are alternatives that are more cost-effective. For example, Microsoft Teams is available as part of our M365 subscription. This will require us to complete a cost analysis to determine which product makes more sense for us to move forward with.

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.

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.

Not really, it is very simple to install and get started.

Zoom is definitely GoTo Meeting's biggest competitor in terms of similar features and overall functionality. I have read about security issues with Zoom in the past, but haven't seen GoTo Meeting make any headlines regarding security. That might be something to consider for larger organizations

Microsoft Teams, when I used, was far better than StarLeaf, on video, sound, and feature connections.
