Quick capability - Fantastic results
We use GlobalMeet for remote meetings because employees live across the entire county. I used to only utilize this service a couple times per month; however, due to the Covid-19 crisis it is now utilized several times each week.
Most of the meetings are conference call only but having the video feature is a fantastic option that we now take advantage of on a recounting basis.
- Setting up the meetings only takes a few seconds. I value this function.
- Global set works in conjunction with Microsoft office. This makes integration very simple.
- The system is user friendly and easy to understand...even for those without a lot of experience.
- I wish there was a green screen option when sharing my web camera.
- Having a feature to minimize feedback sound would be helpful.
- Providing the option to select only the participant videos I want to view would be great.

GlobalMeet review
Currently, we use it primarily as a phone bridge for conference calls. I found the interface to screen share difficult to use.
- Phonebridge
- Single click dialing
- Clear connections
- Outlook integration.
- Difficulty sharing call lines.
- Platform confusing.
The GlobalMeet software is typically used by colleagues who have a need to meet with a large number of people on a recorded call, or for ease of joining together multiple organizations on a teleconference. Typical uses are lunch and learn, presentations, collaborative information gathering, announcements, user story analysis, and workflow documentation.
- Easy recording tools
- Quickly access meeting information to copy and share
- Hosted application
- Recordings are of audio along with the shared content.
- Quality of video could use some improvement
- Addition of whiteboard functionality
- Ability to see who was sent an invitation accepts and declines from a meeting dashboard
- Ability to see an attendee list alongside the recording
- Ability to generate a transcript

Great for large conference calls
GlobalMeet Collaboration is used primarily at my company to communicate between our development teams in China and New York on a weekly basis. We also use it to add remote access to meetings that some users are not able to attend. Users typically call in over the phone, but we’ll occasionally use the web meeting to share video.
- Provides a stable connection
- Allows for easy phone access
- Works well in browser
- Easy to setup meeting links
- Supports a lot of users
- User interface design
- Desktop application
- Video quality
- White board function

Meet on the go
We use GlobalMeet Collaboration to hold team meetings for sales forces. It allows us to have a large group on business planning calls to strategize without having to have people travel. Saves time and money.
- Instant and easy access to team meetings
- Can easily screen share to all participants
- Easy interface
- Sometimes system hangs up
- Needs way to track attendees

GlobalMeet Review from Sales Mgr
GlobalMeet is used to connect groups together for work tasks. Each sales team has access to this tool. While it is typically used by the entire team for a "team meeting" scenario, there are times when colleagues can utilize it to connect. It's typically used on a weekly or bi-weekly basis in the company.
- Connect people remotely.
- Allow work groups to connect regularly.
- Allows for team meetings to occur without much lead time.
- Easier adjustment of preferred settings.
- Ability to list names in after call reports.

GlobalMeet as a service
GlobalMeet is used by our entire organization to facilitate virtual meetings and conference calls. We use this product for training purposes through uploading PowerPoints or by using the screen share feature to demonstrate a live concept. When a web conference is not necessary we use the voice-only feature to provide a place to call in.
- Something that GlobalMeet does well is distributing a meeting to users. The system integrates well with our Outlook system and allows easy meeting distributions.
- GlobalMeet is good at providing an easy way to record web meetings. The feature works well and is easy to download after.
- GlobalMeet as a system seems to be lacking in a few areas. Particularly, I wish there was a better way to track meeting attendees. There is an email that goes out after the meeting of the attendees, but often this list is incomplete, or is not an accurate reflection of the attendees.
- GlobalMeet often does not work when we need it to. Even though I have the app installed on my computer, whenever I try to pull up a meeting it works only half the time. Other times it will go straight to the web version even though I have the app.
- GlobalMeet is not very user-friendly. It is clunky, and does not make the life of the presenter or "host" easier.

There are better solutions
We schedule meetings with staff and customers and we use GlobalMeet to have a centralized location for everyone to call in at. Some people may be working from home, working off-site or in a different part of the country. It's a way to get everybody together. You can share screens and have an integrated meeting.
- I like the screen sharing features.
- I like the audio features such as muting and recording options.
- Integration with Outlook to create calendar appointments and add additional people to the meeting.
- Sometimes there is a lag when I'm presenting in a meeting. I have also experienced lags when sharing my screen.
- As far as I know, this isn't available on mobile devices.
- Sometimes the quality is bad and we have had people who were unable to join or were not able to hear other participants.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Vetted Review
Verified User
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.
