  • The mobile app works well
  • PBX is really user friendly and customizable
  • We love that we can customize our ringtones and hold music
  • It seems that they haven't fully transitioned away from Jive because the PBX sometimes loads the Jive version and other times loads the GoTo Connect version. I think I like the GoTo Connect version better but I can never figure out what the URL is for that version

  • Good value for service received
  • Excellent customer service (when rarely needed)
  • High-quality internet-based systems
  • 100% reliable...never had any failures
  • Very secure from data management standpoint
  • I would like flexibility on billing - now set as auto-pay only on company credit card. We would like to pay by check or ACH.
  • Better integration of GoTo Meeting, which we also use (and like)
  • Better broad-plan pricing (like 'bundling') when we use multiple platforms as we do - and simplified billing

  • Intuitive UI on/and admin portal - simple and clean interface
  • Allowing for multiple users and phone extensions to staying connected even when out of the office
  • Great Service and support especially at that price point
  • GREAT VOIP quality
  • Apple compatibility has been questionable
  • The application upgrade cycle is really challenging. It introduces new features, but then breaks core feature
  • Bugginess in the mobile apps

  • GoTo Connect is a much more cost-effective solution rather than separate phone lines and video conferencing tools.
  • I conduct daily team meetings and project brainstorming sessions using video conferencing using GoTo Connect.
  • It integrates smoothly with our regularly used tools like Google Drive and has become very easy to share the documents we use.
  • They need to make sure the desktop and mobile apps have the same features and functionalities and offer a consistent UX because the experience on the desktop app and mobile app differs a lot.
  • It's definitely a reliable tool but calls sometimes experience audio dropouts and technical glitches, which disrupt meetings and conferences in progress.
  • The reporting system is basic and needs much improvement as it doesn't offer detailed insights and exporting data from the reporting system is a bit challenging at times.

  • The call quality is way better than the other options available.
  • It is easy to use which has led to faster adoption.
  • Call recording option is a great add on
  • The app could be a bit more user friendly
  • The price is a bit on the higher side
  • More customizations in the product would have been great which is missing right now

  • Web based administration
  • Apps for the entire ecosystem
  • Easy to use, drag and drop setup for creating functional call trees
  • Functionality is not updated on a rapid pace
  • Apps have annoying quirks that aren't addressed and make them annoying to use
  • Onboarding help is limited and not useful
  • They are pushing integration with other software they have bought rather than fixing issues
  • They are trying to create an all-in-one app, but they are doing this by purchasing other apps and trying to integrate them rather than building it them themselves. This leads to a less than ideal experience.

  • Internal meeting with more than 70 participants easily without glitches
  • Multiple groups management
  • Easy file sharing and economical messaging
  • Very few people know about GoTo Connect. Good Marketing is required.
  • In my experience, email Synchronization should be there. I haven't used it if its already there
  • Integrations can be made more user friendly

  • Clean and consistent Softphone interface for end users. has native Mac App support which is rare
  • Decent Administrative portal. Managing numbers and requesting new vanity numbers is fairly robust. Integration with Polycom hardware is easy.
  • Dial plan editor is visual based and easy to use for custom dial plans.
  • I believe it took them forever to bring the apps into parity across web and all devices. Layouts aren't always optimized for screen size on various devices.
  • Cost is becoming an issue. Now there are plenty of low-volume virtual phone/messaging solutions that are decently scalable for much less money I've found.
  • Constant push for upselling and other GoTo products like GoToMeeting.

  • The queue is great!
  • Dialing out is easy!
  • Transfers are seamless.
  • The status update on our account that shows us as available or away does not work. It will not keep our phones ringing if we are away or offline.
  • When outside calls come in, we are not able to see their phone number within the caller ID. This would be helpful in finding customer accounts much faster.
  • Connection on the desktop site is not as stable as using the phone app but the desktop version is much easier to use.

  • Its simple to use
  • The meeting system has improved massively
  • The call logging features are pretty good
  • we use to get quite a few errors when using it, not sure if thats been solved.
  • The audio use to cut in and out quite a bit but that might be down to internet connection
  • We use to have alot of people forget their DND was on and missed alot of calls, schedulling for DND would have been handy
