GoToMeeting Reviews

Good - Video Meetings, calls.
Less Appropriate - personal use outside of business needs.

Giving online demos and webinars was essential for my company. GoToMeeting’s screen sharing tool helped to make that easy to do.

I prefer it to other teleconference software I've used. Gets the job done and more.

Unless you truly just need phoneline availability, this product should definitely fit your needs

GoToMeeting software allows for remote and multi-state locations to collaborate, discuss and even perform training sessions. It allows for opportunities to ask questions and engage the group with presentations, document share all while providing strong visual and sound performance.

GoToMeeting is well-suited for those looking for conferencing capabilities; however, there are other competitors out there that may provide a more seamless and reliable service.

GoToMeeting is particularly well suited for webinars that are being witnessed by multiple people. You can set the participation levels in advance so that everyone is automatically listen only, and can submit questions by chat, has their video capabilities turned off, etc. The video setting is particularly important as some users do not realize they need to disable this, and then everyone on the webinar can see them watching (or doing weird things). I think GoToMeeting is challenging to use in a video conference setting- it is confusing and a challenge to see multiple video participants at one time. It is better when it is used more as a conference call, with a shared presentation/powerpoint as the visual element.

We use GoToMeeting for our monthly company updates. We have staff in multiple locations around the world and they do need to participate in the presentation. The 'make presenter' option is great as it means we can each present the slides that are relevant for our own departments, even when we are in a remote location.

This is a great tool for giving a customer a tour of our product, especially to visual learners. It works for most customers so I rarely have to worry about errors.

We usually have calls with clients and have to share our screen to present the decks prepared for them. it is very easy to use and navigate the GoToMeeting tool.

One of the scenarios where GoToMeeting suited well was, creating a GoToMeeting instantly and get on a session with other users. By doing so we have solved our business needs right away. The screen sharing options allows the benefit of training, when new employees or new clients need to navigate through our software, I often use GoToMeeting because i can show them each phase of our software. On the other hand, when clients have difficulty navigating through the software they can allow me to access their mouse and keyboard, or we can switch on who can become a presenter based on the person presenting next.

I do not think there has been any case when GoToMeeting is not suited well, it has always been my and my company's number one software to use.

GoToMeeting is well suited for medium to large institutions. The capability to have a large number of attendees to a meeting is ideal for this. It isn't as good for smaller groups where a video conference would be better for those individuals. Still, sharing screens and asking questions in the meeting is very good here.

GoToMeeting is well suited for all calls with more than one other person. It is very easy to set up and invite people to conference calls. It also allows you to make a conference call number one time use or multiple use which makes it useful in all different meeting scenarios. The video conferencing abilities are also very useful (screen sharing, seeing the client, etc.).

For providing software demonstrations across the internet GoToMeeting is ideal. It works in almost all situations where a face to face meeting is not required. You can share audio, webcams, and screens. You can switch presenters if you need a participant to share their screen too. You can see who is talking and send private messages which is also useful.

GoToMeeting is well suited for important meetings that require face to face interaction. It is less appropriate for conversations that are shorter and require limited time.

I really like GoToMeeting for committee work or meetings when you cannot attend physically. I think the higher volume of user, over 10, and the management becomes more difficult. I think the other thing to consider is what type of work you are planning on accomplishing. GoToMeeting works best for planning and wrap up/debriefing meetings.

Is security a major factor?
Do you plan on using this for support or transferring files?

I wouldn't use GoToMeeting if I needed a large global audience.

For our team of remote employees, Go-To, is our "GO TO" for all our meetings!

I've heard about problems with GoToMeeting and Win7 but haven't experienced those first hand. My suggestion is try before you buy. GoToMeeting allows you to download a demo version to test drive.

GoToTraining has always worked well for our remote training classes. Rosters are generally less than 12 people and students make good use of the interactivity features. Students are able to "raise their hand", use the chat box to communicate with the instructor or student to student, and respond to polls and take quizzes. Class surveys are done using another tool and feedback rarely includes negative reports from students about GoToTraining.

GoToMeeting is a great tool for presenting our cloud-based service. I am able to present real-world scenarios, focus on the features that my client most needs, and spend as much or as little time on my presentation as I need.

Very well suited when including attendees from multiple countries with different ways of accessing audio. Very well suited when screen share needs to pass from one person to another.

When choosing to buy GoToMeeting or not you need to think of a couple of points. Do you have multiple offices across the country / region / outside of the country? How often do you need to have meetings with people that are outside of your office? What subjects are you going to cover during your meetings, should it be handled better in person or would an internet meeting suffice? How many people you are planning to have in a meeting, and if more than two you need some kind of conference system. Do you need to share your screen? Would a regular phone call suffice? How busy is your schedule, do you need reminders all synced up to your Outlook (if you use one)? There are multiple tools you can use, all depends on your needs and preferences. I personally find GoToMetting quite good for our company needs.

GTM is excellent for meetings or webinars that encompass large groups of people. Registration is easy and provides calendar reminders to participants. When considering this product, I recommend that you determine how often you host conference (audio or video) calls and other online events. If it is very infrequent, this may not be the product for you. Being able to pre-schedule meetings and sending out reminders were critical for our organization.
