    Chose GoTo Meeting
    We use Cisco Webex Events as well for various meeting needs. It really just depends on the client and what they want us to use or what they are familiar with. It's nice to be able to have various platforms to use to conduct business. I feel they are all similar in what they …

    Webex was 2.5x more per seat and came with some proprietary hardware that was cool to use for conference rooms that were somewhat reminiscent of Cisco's telepresence. The cool factor wasn't' worth 2.5X more per seat. Zoom didn't have the extraneous functionality that we …

    It is right there with the others I have used. I wonder what separates those that are at the top of the list for 2018 from the software I've used. I've had the pleasure of meeting with other companies on a few other platforms and they all seem similar.

    I think it's more reliable, honestly. I've had a lot of issues with GoTo. People complain about it a lot. They have gotomeeting, they have GoToWebinar, so they probably roughly align with the WebEx. But to me they're not. I've had fewer issues within the actual webinar with the …

    One of the main reason we chose Webex Webinar was because trainers like the in-webinar/training emoticons that stick next to a user's name on the participant panel. Other products just have the emoji's that pop up, but you can't easily tell who posted them. Those are important …

    Cisco is one of the true leaders. However several of the others have freemium products, which can distract.

    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.

    I'd say mainly well suited for larger audiences. I think there's probably some products that are a little more economical for smaller audiences, but if you need a solid, reliable platform for larger audiences, say more than a hundred people. So this is the best product for that or at least top two.

    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.

    • Cisco Webex Events is very straightforward and easy to use. Setting up an event within the platform is quite simple - anyone can do it.
    • Webex Events is a great add-on feature to the Webex conferencing platform to allow a one-way broadcast of information, rather than worrying about attendees being able to interrupt the presentation.
    • Recording a session is fairly simple and accessing the recordings post-event is quite reliable. I believe you can also upload .mp4 files into the Webex Events platform to serve as a host.

    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.

    • There always seems to be room for video quality improvement (not a necessity, but would be nice)
    • Mobile screensharing from iOS/Android (and other mobile) devices would be a great feature
    • The mobile app should be able to track meetings a user has been invited to, but does not do so (yet)

    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

    Webex Webinars continues to provide exceptional value as a community engagement and professional education platform. As long as there are a multitude of event offerings and the product continues to be supported with periodic software and security updates, I can anticipate using Webex Webinars for the foreseeable future.

    The simplicity of GoToMeetings desktop, mobile, and web-based applications make it a very robust and user-friendly meeting solution.

    My experience with this software is fantastic; it's so satisfying that it only took me a week to go through an internal training program to use this software, actually, I don't think this training program was necessary. Usability is one of the most fantastic features to guarantee the increase of members in remote events.

    You can turn around WebEx Attendance reports within 24 hours. Sign in to Webex Site Administration and go to Reports - Access Anywhere. Select the beginning and ending dates for the report. Report data is available only for sessions conducted up to three months before the current date depending on your administration set-up. From the Sort results by drop-down list, select the sort order criteria for the report. After hosting a WebEx Webinar, you have the ability to create a report of all of the participants and the times that they entered and left the meeting. Reports cannot track emoji's or reactions. Best practice for Q&A and tracking you can integrate SLIDO. You cannot save individual polling results. Also the polling report does not include who asked and answered the questions. This limitation does not apply to SLIDO. Closed captions and transcriptions are only saved if the Webinar is recorded. If you face problems during a webinar, you can hit then button which creates and send a report to Cisco who will then look into the problems to avoid future occurrences

    I love the control that this product gives to those running the meetings. It allows you to assign presenter roles to people and everyone else that is an attendee can be totally controlled, like whether they can unmute, use video or just sit there and watch. It really gives control of the meeting to those who are running it. And we love that ability for those meetings that we are trying to make sure people are listening in on instead of trying to participate.

    • 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.
