Great virtual collaboration tool
We use it for team meetings. It's a great way to meet and collaborate virtually.
- Great for sharing content online
- Options to connect via online or through cellphone. The call me feature is great.
- Ease of use. Very easy to use and to share.
- It would be nice to have a gallery of recorded calls.
- It would be nice to get a notice if the software needs to be updated. Getting a notice 5 minutes before a call that software needs to be updated is very frustrating.
- Maybe a notification for when chats are happening.

GlobalMeet for Conferencing Use
The majority of users within our company have, I believe, moved away from utilizing GlobalMeet functionality with the exception of the phone numbers that we utilize for conference calls. I am not certain all the teams that use it, I do know that Product teams use it and it allows us to easily communicate via phone for conference calls and larger meetings.
- Operator assistance is efficient if there are issues during a call.
- Given it is only utilized for phone calls now in my area, I have no significant feedback for this topic.

GlobalMeet is great for mid-size to large companies!
We use GlobalMeet for our weekly conference calls in the company (sales and products teams). It addresses the issue with muting all parties and having a host to start the call.
- Easy to change the conference codes if someone leaves the company.
- Host features for muting, unmuting, etc. are easy to use and work without flaw.
- As the administrator, I get a lot of calls when there are issues with the system. However, it's mostly user error when we dig into it. That being said, I can't think of anything for improvement.
In my department, we use it to facilitate meetings that review the EMR build and workflow use. The screenshare feature is an important component of GlobalMeet to help ensure clarity during discussions and decisions. I use it 2-3 times a day running a meeting. My meetings have anywhere from 5-60 attendees.
My team additionally leverages it to hold educational webinars. Those also range in attendance, anywhere from 5-35 attendees, but are run multiple times a day.
- With the updated version, it makes it easy for anyone to screen share during very helpful meetings. This is because a lot of my attendees are clinicians and not very familiar with global meet and they would get confused when you tried to promote them
- The connect me feature is also a favorite of mine. I never manually dial in, I always have the meeting call me.
- At one point, I was having major issues with the screenshare feature, to the point it was dropping 3-4 times a meeting. This was very challenging as the meetings had around 60 attendees. One of GlobalMeet's technicians worked with me and my technical department to get it working quickly. After that I no longer had any issues.
- Right now, the main thing I would like to see is the message playing after connecting via phone be turned off or tell me how to turn it off.
- Remove the option for the computer to call into the meeting. This always leads to challenges with sound during the meeting. People who do not readily join these meetings often choose this option.
- no other recommendations, their recent upgrade dramatically improved the tool for me.

Great Meeting Tool, as Long as You Don't Want to Meet.
We use GlobalMeet Collaboration to host live training and webinars. All departments at the national level use it for this purpose. In theory, it provides an opportunity for several people to be on a call at once while watching someone execute our system software on-screen.
- GlobalMeet Collaboration is cheap.
- The screen share recordings are always high quality and ready quickly in an easy to use format.
- Customer support is very quick to declare a problem resolved.
- Customer Support needs to actually resolve issues before declaring them resolved and ignoring them if they even acknowledge your request for support.
- Multiple times customer support's solution has been to have over 100 people on a nationwide call disconnect from the call and log back in. This is neither practical nor acceptable in the middle of a call.
- Screen share randomly stops sharing for no reason and there is no way to know this unless someone on the other end says something. Everything on the presenter's screen shows as the share is continuing.
- With the most recent upgrade, several key pieces of functionality were removed so a new, non-user friendly interface could be added. No longer are presenters allowed to share documents via GlobalMeet. Also no longer are presenters allowed to poll the audience. These are key pieces of functionality that were available in the previous version and are available in just about all of the competition. When asked about it support said they would try to bring it back in a future release, but isn't the new design pretty.

Dissatisfaction with GlobalMeet
It was used as a conference calling service by the entire company. We originally signed up as they assured us all lines would be able to dial in as a landline from Mexico. It was supposed to allow us easier communication via landlines without relying on wifi. It was used for interviews with US clients from Mexico, corporate meetings, etc.
- Had a local call-in number for people in different cities in MX. Unfortunately 1/2 of the time those numbers never worked.
- When we started out with them we had a pay per use service that allowed us to work it into our budget as a smaller growing company. But they have since dropped that plan.
- Expensive options compared to other products in the market.
- They try to hide renewal options in a link that is not even part of the contract. Do not have cancellation terms without paying out the contract in full.
- Better customer service as I never received return calls when issues arose.

The web-based version is better than the desktop version
GlobalMeet is used for Project management meetings and committees to review timelines, issues, PowerPoints, and many more visually driven conversations. Mainly the I.T. department uses GlobalMeet, but it is used by our Patient Accounting department as well for weekly meetings.
- When connecting through Internet Explorer, the product works really well and is easy to connect.
- Transferring presenter permissions is very easy through Internet Explorer.
- The desktop version is terrible. It disconnects frequently, and it is hard to make someone else the presenter.
- When Sharing your screen when the meeting is online, the screen capture of your shared screen on your end is too small to read.

GlobalMeet Review
It is used mainly for client calls. All departments have the option to use it. Occasionally we have done large scale client-mandated operator-assisted events with PGI that have had +1000 invitees.
- Operator-assist.
- Good quality audio.
- Majority of toll-free global numbers available.
- Sometimes calls disconnect.
- Seamless integration with the web.
- Audio/web conference recordings should be easier to do and more automatic - Very non-user friendly in an era where recordings are always needed.

GlobalMeet is Great!
We assign every attorney in the firm with their own GlobalMeet account for conference calls. They have their own 800 number and passcodes to give to clients. They enjoy the 24-7 aspect of making and hosting a conference call where before IT support created a conference bridge, that took time for them, IT and reduced usable channels of our T1.
- Easy to use - just dial-in with your 800 number, enter a passcode or host-code and you are connected to your conference call.
- Easy way of recording the conference call.
- We like the email confirmation that includes the participants and the number of minutes they were connected that is sent at the end of a conference call.
- The web interface could be easier to navigate.

GlobalMeet is perfect conference call platform for small business
GlobalMeet is the platform used by our organization for conference calls with our board of directors and regional representatives. Our organization is a small non-profit, but all members use the software for any conference call needs. The ability to share the dial-in information with participants and use any phone makes it possible for the software to be used anywhere.
- Easy to use system for business conference calls
- Recording feature useful to playback information from the meeting
- Accessibility of domestic and international call in numbers make it possible for participants to call in no matter where they are traveling or located.
- Recording available for 90 days

Would recommend GlobalMeet all day every day!
It is being used as the main web conference system. Since we have employees globally, it helps facilitate communication between the team. The two departments that use GlobalMeet the most are sales and marketing as they are often in meetings and on the phone. The biggest business problem is addresses is that it has simplified the way we do web conferencing. Before GlobalMeet, we were using an audio conferencing line that allowed us to basically share presentations but we lacked so many features that we just never used it. For instance, as silly as it may sound, one of my favorite features is being able to see who is on the line. Before GlobalMeet, it would be 5 minutes of "who is on the line?" "Hi, who just joined?" Now, people just join in and it doesn't disrupt my meetings. Another business problem it solves is how easy it is to share documents and have multiple presenters. Again, simple little things but they really make a difference and makes the conferences easy.
- Showing who is talking. This takes away any confusion you may have and prevents users to have to ask who is talking and when.
- Mobile application. So simple to use and easy to go from mobile to web. I don't think I've ever seen another application that do that. This is a strength because it allows me to have a little more flexibility with my meetings.
- Sharing documents. You can upload your file online and access it from anywhere at anytime. I am no longer having to remember to bring a flash drive with me to every meeting or email the document to the administrative assistant.
- Joining the meeting. Oh I can't say enough about this. When joining the meeting is a hassle, it doesn't make people too fond of coming in the first place. GlobalMeet has made it so easy by just calling you directly. Seriously, another one of my favorite feature. People are more on time and less frustrated.
- Sometimes, I felt that the quizzes/polls froze on me and that definitely made it easier to keep the flow of the meeting as sometimes I've had to restart completely. I haven't used these features in a while and there has been several updates since then so that may be better now.

GlobalMeet is an excellent, efficient collaboration tool
GlobalMeet is the only IT-approved and authorized web conferencing software at my organization. We use it for internal and external meetings. GlobalMeet helps us address connecting with our internal employees. We're a global company and in the headquarters office, less than one percent of all employees work here, so it's critical that we use this solution to be able to connect and share ideas and content anywhere and everywhere.
- the connect-me function is outstanding! I never have to dial into a conference call.
- It works as soon as it loads. As the company standard, we're not waiting to download plugins or anything else in order to get going.
- The share a file option is great for collaboration
- The option to take over screen sharing is kind of slow. That could be a bit quicker
- The whiteboard could be a little nicer. Reminds me of Paint on old computers.
- I wish it were easier to gather your recorded meetings. I don't like having to login and wait for a download.

iHeartMedia is using GlobalMeet for audio conferencing across several divisions. In my role with our digital division we use GlobalMeet Audio regularly for conference calls across at least four offices. It makes it simple to have consistent conference lines that are always available for a particular user or group. Since we typically assign a conference line to certain "power users" it makes it easy for them to remember the dial-in/passcode information instead of needing to look up this information for every call throughout the day. The audio quality has always been great and we've never had a call drop out or have to hang up and dial back in due to audio quality like we have with some other vendors.
- Consistent dial-in and conference lines instead of these changing for each call you set up. Consistency makes the information easy to remember and quick to add to meeting invites.
- Post-conference recap emails help you collect data on who attended, how long they were dialed-in, and their phone # in case you need to reach out to them again for follow-up.
- Audio quality is excellent. We've never experienced connection issues or dropped calls like we have with other vendors.
- There is a cost for the conferencing services unlike competitors like FreeConferenceCall.com or Skype which have free options. However, you pay for what you get and the audio/connection quality can and has been an issue for us with other vendors.
- There are a lot of shortcuts that can be used on the line to mute/unmute lines, record the audio, request operator assistance, etc. However, these are difficult to memorize so we end up forgetting or relying on a print-out of the shortcuts that we keep near our desks. I wish there was an easier way to use these such as voice commands.
- In the post-conference email recaps you get the phone numbers of those who dialed in. However, it can be difficult to know who these numbers belong to unless you remember the direct #s for the participants. I wish there was a way to save contact info for certain phone numbers within the system and let GlobalMeet add the names to the numbers for all future post-conference emails.

GlobalMeet is used for teleconferencing needs at least 2 of our locations. Allows employees to meet on a regular basis with each other and with vendors/clients/customers that are spread out not only in the state but in the country. It helps them to share screens with each other to do presentations and provide any other pertinent information.
- It is easy to upload files and share immediately.
- The ability to record meetings and have them available for everyone to review quickly.
- Being able to promote participants so that they can control presentations with the shared screen option.
- Connection issues at times
- I would like to be able to get some sort of reports at the end of the call maybe showing attendance

IMHO, GlobalMeet meets the needs
GlobalMeet was used as a teleconferencing tool throughout the organization. This was a cost effective alternative tool to other teleconferencing tools offered within the company. This allowed associates to communicate throughout the world on a face-to-face basis. This was also an alternative to traveling to another location in order to meet with clients.
- It was a user friendly tool for most associates. Once the initial training was offered, many were able to use the tool with little or no guidance.
- It offers an app for the mobile users to use on their devices. This was a great option for those who were travelling and needed to contact someone in the office.
- Some of the basic tools within the product were great options, such as a Whiteboard to share ideas, polling to get the ideas from everyone in the 'room', free storage of documents/recordings within the tool, etc.
- Starting out with the tool, there were some issues with some operating systems. They didn't have enough free RAM, which made it hard to use. Perhaps not forgetting those with older technology instead of focusing on the latest and greatest technology would be beneficial.

Easy and Friendly to Use
GlobalMeet is being used in our company since we are located across the United States. This product allows us to meet on a regular basis, share screens to do trainings and provides recordings of the meetings for those who could not attend. GlobalMeet is used to update staff as well as train staff on new processes and procedures thru screen sharing.
- GlobalMeet is a great way for sharing screens when you are not able to meet in person.
- GlobalMeet has a chat system so that questions can be answered while you are in the meeting.
- When lots of people are on GlobalMeet is tends to disconnect or people have a hard time getting on.
- Sometimes when you are not on a hardwire internet source, the participant has a hard time connecting.

Give GlobalMeet a try! It's worth your time!
We use GlobalMeet for meetings throughout the month. GlobalMeet is used throughout the whole company and is a very useful tool to the company. We use this product to have meetings, trainings and to share screens, which is very helpful. GlobalMeet helps address many problems and helps us find a solution because everyone can be on the meeting call to input their thoughts.
- GlobalMeet is great at being able to have a meeting which everyone can attend since we all work outside of an office around the country.
- This tool also is very useful since you can share your screen to let everyone see a presentation or how to do something etc.
- There is also a chat option on the left hand side of the screen which is very useful to ask questions during a meeting or presentation.

GlobalMeet for Everyday Use
GlobalMeet is the conferencing software used by our company. It solves both web and phone conferencing needs across a lot of users and clients where teams are spread out across several offices and/or countries. It's ease of use and integration with Outlook makes setting up meetings quick and easy. The recording functionality and post call reporting is an added bonus as well.
- Integration with Outlook.
- Option for either web conference or audio only.
- Call in options make connecting easy from any device.
- Mobile app functionality.
- Have had issues with losing connection.
- Connecting via computer causes bad echo or issues with microphone.
- Sharing documents isn't straight forward and requires download of software which is inconvenient for those who do not use GlobalMeet as the primary conferencing source.

We have been using GlobalMeet (web and audio) in our Industrial division for over 3 years. Whenever we host training calls or web presentations, we use GlobalMeet to accomplish this. The audio calls or web training work efficiently and easily with the GlobalMeet products by PGi. Since 99% of those attending the calls are remote, they can easily connect and join the training.
For the sales field, they don't have to worry about downloading software when they join. They simply click on the link provided to them and they join the meeting quickly. For me as a host, I love the toolbar with Outlook. I can easily set up meetings and can join a meeting in seconds. The meeting calls me and provides me detailed information as to who is on the call with me. I am able to quickly mute, record or end a meeting with a simple click of a button. My goal is to get the sale field to start using the GlobalMeet app on their smartphones or tablets. I just know they'll be amazed at the simplicity of using it!

- Outlook toolbar... manage your account, create meetings, join meetings. All can be done simply and quickly within the toolbar.
- Reports - after call reports can be downloaded providing detailed information of those attending and duration of attendance.
- Fantastic support... whether you're in the middle of a call, or any other time. They are available by chat or direct call and provide quick and efficient support.
- Reporting - I would like to have the capability of getting the attendance from my calls immediately. This way I can respond to them with follow-up information if needed.
- Noisy callers during a call - Even though GlobalMeet highlights the person talking, or in some cases making background noise, I wish there was a better way sometimes to find out who that was. The majority of the time I have at least 50 callers calling in to a training call. And in the case where someone's phone is making unnecessary noise, I would like to be able to manually mute them. However, sometimes, the noise doesn't last long enough for me to scroll through the list of names/numbers to determine who it was.
