GoTo Meeting vs. Whereby

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.

If you cannot use another more common solution on the market or are looking for an alternative to the known solutions, it is a great alternative. If you have other tools already, and just want to test [them], that's fine, but I think the better-known ones have a better chance of using, knowing, and the learning curve will be shorter.

• Goto meeting delivers high-quality audio and video, which ensures clear communication even in virtual environments.
• The mobile app allows users to join meetings on the go, ensuring flexibility for participants who may not always be at their desktop computers.
• virtual backgrounds and appearance settings are useful.

• Easy to use: The app is very, very easy to use. Literally just create a chat room (input a name) and access it to chat.
• Call/video quality: I've experienced better call quality on appear.in than in almost all other chat and video conferencing services out there.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• The paid version may have dial-in. But I have always used the free version. Dial-in is typically required for an "official" multi-purpose teleconference platform.
• I did have some trouble with larger groups (5+) when it was Appear.in but almost always use it for small 1-on-1 or 3 person meetings.

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 are using a larger tool suite that already includes video conferencing instead of our older approach of using different apps from different vendors. appear.in has a simple but great set of features but its pricing scheme is not as scalable as we really need in a 500+ employee company.

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.

Incentivized

Very easy to use, technical and non-technical colleagues have used it with no instructions needed. That says all about the app and services.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

Never had to contact support, so we cannot give a rating for their overall support. When we noticed the audio was not always great quality, we simply educated our users to mute the mic and use the in-room conference phone which is connected via a dedicated VOIP link and had much better voice quality. The video performance varied by locations network speed and found it got much worse when the room size increased to over 4 connections.

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

After a recommendation from a partner, as the system is very easy to use, we simply start.

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

Incentivized

I find Zoom more complicated to use and harder to use because a lot of people do not like having to download things to their computers or devices and Whereby is so easy to get connected with . I like that Zoom offers larger rooms, but at this point the cost is not worth the extra expense.

• Positive: Staying close to client and making sure they have the best customer service.
• Positive: Creating higher client conversion rates by being present on calls.
• Negative: When technical issues occur on GoTo Meeting the client is left wondering how professional we are.

• In general, any sort of online collaborations saves a lot on your budget. The meetings are rather more on time and can be efficient and short.
• Easy to drop-by and have a small talk with clients/teammates within COVID era.
• The URL makes you look fancy instead of a random hash.
