Considered Both Products
GoTo Meeting
Chose GoTo Meeting
We used Cisco Webex Meeting with the spark boards and when you could get everything synced, it would work great. GoToMeeting was a lot more user-friendly, way more than Cisco Webex Meeting. Since we already had the built-in desktop share feature, this pushed TeamViewer out the …
Chose GoTo Meeting
GoToMeeting is a good solution to invite non team members to meetings compared to Zoom. They don't have to create an account and the dial in options are very clear in the meeting invite. TeamViewer is a better solution for controlling end users computers for hand on technical …
Chose GoTo Meeting
GoTo Meeting is much better than TeamViewer. It is easier to use and share a desktop. It makes remote support of end-users computers quick and easy. GoTo Meeting has a leg up on ConnectWise Control because it has integrated voice conference lines. You do not have to go find …
Chose GoTo Meeting
I feel like GoTo Meeting is ranked up there with Zoom and TeamViewer for virtual meetings, but in the overall product coverage, GoTo Meeting wins the award.
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 …
Chose GoTo Meeting
Our cost for Zoom was lower than GoToMeeting. The free tier of Zoom for 40 minute meetings is sufficient for most of our meetings.

MS Teams was included as part of our M365 subscription and integrates with all our other Office apps.
Chose GoTo Meeting
GoTo Meeting is more secure than the listed similar products and allows for more engagement and collaboration. We currently pay for Zoom and have Google Meet through a bundled package through Google. Zoom was more utilized for situations where audio and video quality are the …
Chose GoTo Meeting
Functionality amongst all the standard video/chat conference collaboration tools is about the same with the exception of better integration of other companies' software applications in their portfolio. I ran into issues with buffering with users on low bandwidth or "hot spot" …
Chose GoTo Meeting
Needs to catch up and do a lot to meet the expectations. Other platforms especially Zoom has exceptional tools and features. Stability is the key which is highly doubtful. The one-touch dial also needs to be improved when joining from the phone. Audio stability features, …
Chose GoTo Meeting
GoTo Meeting is great in many ways and wins over the competition in that it offers great features and that using it is easy as well. In addition, the software is very stable and supports many participants.
Chose GoTo Meeting
[GoTo Meeting] is ideal for conferences and can accommodate up to 3,000 participants and the vendor nevertheless offers low-tiered plans for smaller meetings suited to remote work or online classes.
Chose GoTo Meeting
It offers all of the basic functionalities and is very user friendly. Pricing stacks up fair and could easily service a mid size company with nationwide locations.
Chose GoTo Meeting
Easier to use and lower bandwidth requirements. I like the scheduling features more than other softwares I've used in the past although I think there is room for improvement.

Chose GoTo Meeting
We have had chats with Zoom and have a few employees using Zoom to demo. Really we have found they are about even in quality and features. Both have good chrome extensions and are easy to use. I personally have used both Zoom and GoToMeeting while meeting with software …
TeamViewer
Chose TeamViewer
Teamviewer might not have all the features other products have but it does it's job so good it's not worth switching from. Remote control is the core and that's what they have done best when we have compared other products. Working with software suppliers has also given us a …
Chose TeamViewer
GoToMeeting is better for demonstrations. TeamViewer is a great support tool to see what your end user is doing. TeamViewer can be used to access remote machines and servers, although remote desktop is more reliable for server management.

TeamViewer can be accessed for free and …
Chose TeamViewer
I feel TeamViewer is simpler to use and performs at a higher level. We experienced lag and clunky UI when we sampled GoToMeeting. The TeamViewer option provided the level of support that we were looking for. The simplicity to install on users' machines and customize our login …
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer is much faster and had fewer connectivity issues as well as configuration issues as compared to GoToMeeting and LogMeIn. TeamViewer also has a free version that can be used for non-commercial personal use that makes it easily accessible. TeamViewer is competitively …
Chose TeamViewer
I have previously used the suite of GoTo products for the same functionality that TeamViewer has. While the GoTo family provides the ability to host meetings and webinars that TeamViewer does not, I found that TeamViewer was a much easier platform to work with.
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer is lightweight and the installation is easy compared to ConnectWise which requires an expert to install and maintain. ConnctWise requires about three servers to be set up and users to be trained to use it. TeamViewer has an easy GUI and is very intuitive, making it …
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer was the best option for remote control and with the ability for participants to point on the screen during presentations. It was the fastest/smoothest experience for remote control, and allowed logging into the computer before logging in after a reboot. It was also …
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer was more robust, professional and polished than the competition we checked out. We use TeamViewer for our remote meetings and to record quick toturials. We have been very pleased with its performance. Remote access is great and simple with Teamviewer. GoToConnect …
Chose TeamViewer
1) Ease of use
2) Intuitive design which has an elegance of its own
3) TeamViewer's ability to work across platforms is a huge positive - PC to PC, mobile to PC, PC to mobile, or mobile to mobile
Chose TeamViewer
There are other meeting, screen sharing, and collaboration software products that do well, but in my opinion, TeamViewer excels in the most important aspects of screen sharing or remote support software. It has the most high quality audio/video performance, it has many …
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer is much better than the above products, as it does a better job with support.
Chose TeamViewer
Previously, those who support the use of this type of tools to increase the efficiency of the processes present in much of our daily tasks, tried the use, in some cases very fleetingly, of softwares such as: Microsoft Office 365, the Chrome Remote destokp and the VNC Connect, …
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer is similar and works as well as the others.
Chose TeamViewer
I'm very comfortable with TeamViewer and I've used them for a long time. I moved from LogMeIn before and I moved to TeamViewer because of the ease of use that TeamViewer provided. The customer facing experience for TeamViewer was also a big factor as to why I chose TeamViewer …
Chose TeamViewer
I think it compares very well, teamviewer is used mostly because of its ease of use and quick setup. Also, the vendors seem to use it also and makes for a very affordable and quick solution.
Chose TeamViewer
Originally TeamViewer had great technology and a good price. What drew me to it was that it was cheaper than LogMeIn Rescue and you could purchase a perpetual license. It soon became clear that they broke functionality between older and new versions. If you plan on only …
Chose TeamViewer
TeamViewer's mobile app is powerful and consistently makes the connection to my remote desktop. In the past I found other solutions to be inconsistent in availability leaving me with an unexpected "surprise" when I was unable to connect. I find TeamViewer is able to provide …
Chose TeamViewer
We've looked into other similar products but prefer TeamViewer. The features and ease of use balances out the cost over the competitive products.
Chose TeamViewer
Teamviewer is easily available and has a trial version.
Chose TeamViewer
We've used a lot of solutions -- mostly the free basic versions of the following:
ZoomRoom, Join.Me, GoToMeeting, GoToMyPC, LogMeIn, GoogleHangouts (screenshare), and Skype.
Chose TeamViewer
Although I have used TeamViewer in my previous job, the reason I am using teamViewer now is because of my company's licensure agreement with WebEx Meetings. However in my past experience I think TeamViewer made some easy to use features for IDs and passwords with which an …
Chose TeamViewer
The remote control feature that TeamViewer provides is far better than any other product simply because of the fact that it is extremely simple to use. You can never hit any other button or click on any other options while using it. Things are very clearly indicated, this makes …
Chose TeamViewer
Most of TeamViewer's competitors (GoToMeeting, GoToAssist, WebEx, MyTrueCloud) are priced on a per-month basis. Some companies (like WebEx) also do not allow licenses to "float", they require that the license is tied to a specific user. This simply did not fit our use case. …

TeamViewer
It is well suited if the team members work remotely and need constant collaboration and communication throughout the development cycle. It is so helpful for Systems Engineers in the Software industry to resolve laptop and computer issues. It is also helpful for troubleshooting hardware issues like printers, scanners, server racks, and more. It is less suited if the teams are small and no remote access or group calls are needed, they could very well use telephones and mobile phones.

Cons
GoTo (formerly LogMeIn)
  • 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.

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.

We will definitely renew our TeamViewer software license when the time comes. This service works and does not matter on what device you are trying to control (it depends on the license), and it is very responsive and does not seem to use up a lot of data.

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.

Compared to other products I've used (ConnectWise Control), TeamViewer is harder to set up and get connected. It is especially difficult to set up "permanent" unattended remote access, where you want to be able to connect to and control a remote computer without having to exchange codes and passwords every time you connect.

the few times i have had to contact teamviewer support, they were very responsive and give me quick answers and seemed to understand my problems quickly and easily. I did not have to sit on the phone for hours on hold or get passed around to multiple phone support techs before finding a solution to my issues, so i would rate their support very highly.

There are many third party supporters for TeamViewer courses available that can give additional ideas how to use TeamViewer for specific functions and features as we did require in respect of our usage.

No nothing that really sticks out. For the most part I have only had to uninstall and reinstall application a couple of times when I hit a glitch. I will say that on a MAC it is a little harder to implement due to Apple's Permissions that need to be set. Sometimes it needs the client to intervene to get those permissions set.

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

Horses for courses they say but all around, TeamViewer is the best software for remote management, period. Pulseway's remote desktop can work well on the phone app but on a desktop, it is often unreliable and drops connections. AnyDesk is not appropriate for our business and is only good on a case-by-case basis.

  • Average Effective/workable time of a team member has increased because the team member does not to wait for the IT team do the installment of any software and hand the laptop over again.
  • Cost for the alternate laptops have been reduced, since there is less requirement now to handover a backup PC for the employees until the current PC's issue is resolved, if it's software issue.
  • Cost of the transport, electricity and building maintenance, has reduced, since the remote working option for the employees is available with the TeamViewer.
