Research Analyst and Consulting (Technology) in Professional Services at Frost & Sullivan Asia-Pacific (1001-5000 employees employees)

Pros

Easy to schedule meetings, webinar, and video conferencing around with other global offices. Normally we do team meeting and webinar to discuss about on-going projects and share presentation output.
GlobalMeet sends detailed report at the end of each meeting and the report can be used as reference for the minutes of meeting in future.
Features such as enabling recording and screen sharing enables easy for walk through presentation slides during the meeting.

Cons

Often times the speaker would not functions. I need exit the meeting and enter the meeting again.
Sometimes it is hard to mute the speaker as this will disable the voice from other user as well.
Sometimes the system hangs especially when dealing with overseas clients and team meeting.

Return on Investment

The price for webinar for GlobalMeet is quite pricey compared to other similar vendors.
GlobalMeet can be used for unlimited free calls and video conferencing, hence in our company with extensive global calls this platform is very cost-effective.
Unlike most conferencing software. Other users don't have to download GlobalMeet App and therefore it is easy to send meeting invite to clients.
Attentively support system that responds fast to queries and this saves time for us.
