We use GoTo Meeting as the internal team communication channel. GoTo Meeting is the primarily connecting channel. Even when we need to schedule meeting with our client or people outside our organization we schedule meetings on GoTo only
  • Low Latency calls
  • Screen Share
  • No login/registrations before calling
  • Easily setup
  • Sometime it has network issues even when internet speed is good
  • Screen share options is a bit hard to understand/find in the UI
  • The admin section is a bit confusing
If you don't want to make a account or download a app then GoTo Meeting is one of the best web meeting tool. No account hassle. Even you want to host a webinar or live session then GoTo Meeting is the best choice as your users/viewers dont need to download any additional software to watch your stream/webinar.

We utilize GoTo Meeting as a VoIP provider and utilize it for our internal and external meetings and video conferencing. We do not use the messaging feature. We use the soft phone on the computer, we have a desktop physical phone, we have the cell phone app, and some of us even use the call forwarding.
  • Calls are clear
  • Once the meeting is started, the video conferencing are generally smooth as long as the internet connection is good.
  • The desktop app is clunky.
  • Takes a long time to load.
  • Makes you re log in every hour or so
  • When loading the video meeting, it takes a long time to establish a connection
  • virtual video backgrounds don't look great or smooth
  • phone app is also clunky and takes a long time to load
GoTo Meeting isn't a bad solution. But GoTo Meeting is also not a good solution. The issue is there are so many different types of vendors that do the same thing as GoTo Meeting. Most of the time they will be competitive, but in my experience, other vendors are more willing to lower price in order to help close the deal. Not only that, most other providers have a smoother app on the desktop and phone.

GoTo Meeting is great for video conferencing any/all of your business contacts and internal organization collaborators. Like Zoom, BlueJeans, and Skype for Business, GoTo Meeting allows users to seamlessly connect with clients and customers to present ideas, projects, timelines, solutions, contracts, and much more. Our organization uses it to securely stay connected with valuable business partners so that we can stay closely connected to their needs and our solutions handling of their needs.
  • Secure and stable video connections with anyone and anywhere.
  • High Definition video conferencing with 100's of people at once.
  • Screen sharing and presentation modes to provide more vivid context.
  • At times, connection failure or slow connection does occur.
  • Audio from calls can be improved and sound better.
  • Random application crashes occasionally occur.
GoTo Meeting is suited for business looking for an great alternative to Zoom, Skype for Business, BlueJeans, etc. In this day and age video conferencing is a necessity to any business and GoTo Meeting does a great job at connecting your business's solution to client problems and keeping the relationship thriving when you can't be physically at their offices.

We are using it to have virtual meeting with our customers, employees, vendors etc. It enabled us to have virtual meeting anytime and anywhere. Instead of visiting customer or vendor office we able to attended or create meetings from our own office. It helped us very much to save our time and resources. It has helped us very much at the time of lockdown specially when all users were working from home. It is one of the best team collaboration tool also.
  • HD quality audio and video conferencing
  • File sharing, screen sharing
  • Meeting recording
  • Virtual background
  • Pricing
  • It will be better if they provide alert or notification for upcoming meeting on whatsapp
  • Screen freezing is common if you have unstable internet connection
As per my personal experience it is useful tool for all types of organization. Whether it is small or large scale organization, professionals, students it is great virtual conferencing tool for all of them. For organizations it is one of the best team collaboration tool also as it provides numbers of features like HD quality video conferencing, screen and file sharing, meeting recording etc.

Goto meeting help us to connect with each other remotely. It has easy features and specifications. Goto meeting has user friendly interface which make it more attractive and simple. We tried other tools like zoom and Google Meet and some other but these were not good as compare to the goto meeting.
  • User interface
  • Simplicity
  • Calling quality
  • Pricing
  • Integration
  • Low quality on low speed internet
Goto meeting is awesome are user friendly interface which attract the users. It has all the possible features which a calling app should have but one thing which we think is that it should have little less Price so the small business can afford it easily. Overall it is good for us and we are satisfied.

Daily meetings with the clients, with respect to having on-call presentations in terms of documents, and PPTs. Earlier the connectivity was not proper, and also limited access control to the admin, but this tool overcame this problem more efficiently and worked in a good manner. Easy to set up and use.
  • Connectivity
  • Admin control
  • Presentation
  • Background options during video call can improve.
  • Audio settings can improve in case of multiple external devices need to connect.
In low-speed internet, earlier tools were not very effective, and calls get disconnected automatically. This tool works properly even with low internet connectivity. It holds a call without failure, which helps to save your data if you are presenting something on the screen.

I have already had the opportunity to use GoTo meeting in my work and the experience I had with the tool was very positive. Easy to use, very intuitive and conveys security to everyone in the meeting room and involved with the subject and the appropriate dealings in question. It is a tool that does not limit company domains and makes connecting to calls very easy.
  • Speed
  • Ease of use
  • User-friendly interface
  • Improve visualization layout by making it more user-friendly
  • improve the way to invite, making it easier
Very suitable for work meetings where we need to bring the entire team together to discuss project-related topics. As well, very useful in moments where we need to connect the team with clients and facilitate the connection between them. In the professional environment, the tool is very valuable and becomes indispensable when working with remote teams.

GoTo Meeting is largely duplicative of other software we have access to. As a result, we have switched away from it. The platform is robust and stable, but it is redundant for us. Accordingly, we have switched away from it and devoted those resources to other products that are not duplicative.
  • Bring multiple individuals across platforms into a common meeting space.
  • Schedule meeting and resource times effectively.
  • Allow presentation of files, desktops, and materials in a seamless fashion.
  • GoTo Meeting is duplicated in almost every respect by Microsoft Teams.
  • Other platforms are sometimes bundled in at greatly reduced or no additional cost with necessary software packages.
  • Integration into other platforms as a native client.
If other meeting software is not included in necessary software packages, then GoTo Meeting makes a lot of sense. It is price competitive with alternatives, robust, and reliable. The software in usable with minimal training and little support necessary. Scheduling is quick and easy, and screen, program, and desktop sharing are robust and seamless. If other options are included in the price of other software solutions, then GoTo Meeting represents an unnecessary added expense.

1. A reliable backup to our main platform that we use via Zoom
2. If Zoom ends up having network/connectivity issues, we rely heavily on GoTo Meeting to address out meeting/conference needs
3. Slowly considering using GoTo Meeting as our primary mode of conference calls.
4. Zoom was great for us at the start but as our company scales with hundreds of more employees, we are looking for a bit more stable application; that being GoTo Meeting
  • Variety of integrations available so we can fit GoTo into our tech stack
  • Affordability
  • Privacy controls are very user friendly
  • Technical issues ; downtime are a bit longer than desired
  • File sharing can be challenging
  • Some bandwidth issues when getting on a call with overseas team
When you are testing out conference applications as your company scales, GoTo Meeting is a very affordable solution. It offers many of the similar functions as other applications but at a much affordable rate. It's well suited to US based / different time zone meetings and screensharing as never really been a big issue for us. We hope that GoTo will increase it's bandwidth so we can connect consistently with overseas teams (without needing to use Zoom)

Several of our clients use GoTo Meeting and are very satisfied with the product. A few have recommended that we use GoTo Meeting as well. These days, online meetings are mandatory. We find it more effective and have fewer connection issues than Teams and Zoom.
  • Screen sharing
  • Ability to demo software
  • Stable connection for audio and video
  • Interface could be modernized
  • They could market their product better (become more popular)
GoTo Meeting excels at online meetings and is easy to install for end-users. We also find it has less lag and fewer hangups than other platforms. If you have Microsoft requirements, then Teams may be more appropriate.

GoTo Meeting is used by associates in our business mostly for conference calls with non-employee contacts. We receive invitations from outside sources using various software, including Microsoft Teams, Google Meets, GoTo Meeting, among others. Internally, Teams is our preference, because it is used company-wide for chat and one-on one calls, so it makes sense to stick with that for internal meetings. We have the capability to use GoTo Meeting if external sources are not able to, or not comfortable using Teams.
  • Connecting with clients or other non-employee business associates
  • stable connectivity
  • scheduling meetings, including sending invitations.
  • Forcing new version downloads when joining calls
  • chat messaging within calls is sometimes buggy. That interface could be streamlined.
Well suited for meetings with external contacts that may not have Microsoft Teams as part of their day-to-day organization structure. Fairly simple to schedule meetings and send invitations to contacts. Anyone with access to a browser can join.
For organizations already using Teams, it makes more sense to utilize that tool for internal meetings so chat messages, etc. are tracked with other corporate communication.

It is used to facilitate team meetings and gather ideas about new projections and talk about how the company is doing in general, the scope it has is to unite us in an easier way and the integrations it has work in a way that helps to make team communication easier.
  • easy to use
  • a wide range of functions
  • integration with other apps
  • cost to have a better version
  • not stable with low internet
An appropriate part would be the remote meetings we have had good projections and good execution being from different geographic areas and also in training has a good interface for learning, both for the learner and the teacher and where it may not be as adequate is in the security or encryption of video calls, perhaps there are other more secure alternatives.

I use GoTo Meeting for online meetings with my clients. Meetings are typically used for projects management at my organization. We invite clients by sending a calendar invite along with the GoTo meeting ID.
GoTo Meeting helps me join meetings and let me screen-share and share my work details with our clients.
  • Screen-share functionality with GoTo Meeting works great
  • Typically the voice quality is good for GoTo Meeting
  • Recording of calls works great for our team as well
  • Quick schedule from calendar would be a good functionality to have
  • Internet bandwidth usage for internet over the cals can be improved
GoTo Meeting has helped us meeting clients from around the world. It helps scheduling meeting and helps with sharing the work progress. The recording for meetings work great. My team is able to listen to the meeting recording and see the details of the meeting with clients.
Mostly it works great. Sometimes it feels its taking a lot of internet bandwidth. So once we are meeting with mobile data while driving, it may make the calls slower.

We used GoToMeeting to conduct virtual meetings, using both the audio conference bridge only as well as video when required. We also used it to provide remote IT support in one-one setting.
  • Remote control
  • File sharing
  • Audio only calls
  • List of countries for audio calls is limited
  • Higher cost
It works well in most circumstances. Where Internet bandwidth is patchy or has high latency, then the connection can drop which is not ideal.

GoTo Meeting has been our aid in facilitating virtual meetings anytime we have such meetings either with our clients, stakeholders, customers or even internally for team meetings.

  • Ease of access, you don't have to make any downloads for you to attend meetings.
  • It supports large meetings for upto 250 attendees.
  • Integration with other products like Google Calendar for better meeting scheduling.
  • Expensive for one to access premium features.

I use it to join commercial meetings from partners and software editors. This software allows us to visualise power point, webcams and chat with the others participants. It's incredibly easy to use and very responsive. I like the way to connect to the meeting. Just a link...
Never had any issue with this product.
  • Share screen
  • Audio conferences
  • Redesign the buttons and the widget with modern UI
I always use it when a partner wants to present a new product, functionality. We join the meeting with 100 to 200 other contacts and it's always very stable and responsive.
I'm not sure that it is adapted for a discussion in group with several people speaking at the same time.

If your business needs a very straight forward and easy way to set up online meetings or training or host any online presentation, this might be the tool to choose from the wide offer of online meeting tools. It works perfectly on almost any device or any internet connection as well as any operating system you can imagine. We have been using the tool for almost 2 years and have not been disappointed since.

  • Available at any needed moment.
  • Great customer service.
  • User interface is not always intuitive.
  • Price is a reason to think twice before choosing this product.
In case your business is spread over different locations as ours is, and you need to host online meetings frequently, this is the tool to choose. You can save a lot on travel expenses as the meeting with a good quality video can be used to substitute real face to face meetings and this tool can deliver that every time.

We use GoTo Meeting to host webinars, and training internally. We typically have over 100 people joining the meetings so GoTo Meeting has been essential in making it easy for us all to connect, learn, record and share after. So many features including screen share, changing presenters, number of attendees, and more have helped us streamline our company education.
  • It allows users to have full control over the equipment of a participant so we can change presenters, and have multiple people on a panel at one time.
  • You can share documents in real time so we can distribute the material needed for the training during the meeting.
  • It permits large meetings and allows us to connect our team all over the world.
  • For the most part, joining a meeting with GoTo Meeting is a painless process. If you have the app already, then just click on a shared link and you’re good to go. There are times when the connection doesn’t happen, however, and the reasons may be unknown. A simple glitch in the routing process to connect to the meeting can be enough to disrupt the entire process.
  • High costs for the premium features to get the most out of GoTo Meeting. There should be a better offering of plans for small, and startup businesses.
GoTo Meeting works well for large teams and companies that have a need to share information with a wide audience. This could include internal meetings, training, or external webinars with clients. GoTo Meeting integrates well with other software your company may use like Zapier and Google calendar to maximize productivity. Installation was quick and easy so setup gets you right to use the software without barriers. Meetings can also be recorded and the quality is amazing for those who could not attend. GoTo Meeting is a breeze to present in and stands out above competitors, that typically freeze up during meetings and make it difficult for the audience. Overall, it has a stable connection, is user-friendly, and offers all the features you need to lead an audience.

First time around I came across GoTo Meeting, it was for a meeting organised by someone else and I joined with absolute ease and didn't even think about it, I think that's one of the most important features that stick with me - all these apps should be a no-brainer as per their nature in my opinion. I used this especially to solve quick issues or non-regular meetings where a client or partner would not want to deal much with more complicated sign-in tools and instead just click and start.
  • It is quite easy to connect and start with anyone inside or outside organisation.
  • It offers a fast connection that I didn't experience a bad drop, etc.
  • It seems to be more secure than some competitor apps.
  • I would love to see a free version even if it's basic features, etc. so more people can get started easily.
  • It could offer more functions for the paid plans such as file sharing.
  • Unfortunately, some of my colleagues and me having a bad internet connection affects the calls easily - maybe there could be an improved way that may enable quality not being too much dependent on internet speed - sounds like a long shot, sorry.
I would recommend these to those who'd need to do regular outside calls and it'll be easy for them just sending the link and the person on the other end will be able to join - mostly, as I experienced - with ease. For internal calls where you want to meet a colleague for a quick online chat maybe the integrated solutions could be better - i.e. the video feature of the email provider choice of your organization.

GoTo Meeting was used by my previous organization where I was working as an Apprentice Trainee, the meeting was simple to set up and everyone in my organization can attend the session by just entering the meeting ID or the name of the host. Other than video conferencing we can do live file sharing, live presentations, live chat, live editing of the shared file so everyone can be updated on the latest changes in the projects, we can give access of our control to another member for uninterrupted meeting. Another best thing was, it has a calling reminder which calls us when the meeting was about to start. Mass conferencing of more than 100 people can also be done by inviting the attendee from different department for quarterly meetings.
  • The vast availability of features like live file sharing, live presentations, live chat, live updating of the shared files, and live access to the controls of another member.
  • The smart Meeting Assistant feature automatically transcribes the meeting rather than making notes.
  • Calling reminder, which is missing in other similar platforms.
  • Easy integration with other platforms like outlook, slack, chrome.
  • Not suitable for individual use because of high pricing
  • The quality of the video depends on the quality of the internet connection, poor connectivity can lead to a decrease in the quality of the video.
GoTo Meeting is best suited for organizational meetings as well as for personalized meetings. The meeting is pretty easy to set up, and upon setup, we can use a wide variety of features like live screen sharing, live editing of the files, we can give access of our desktop to another member, and even we can generate a screen share link which allows another desktop which is not part of our meeting to share the screen with the help of the screen share link. However, one of the drawbacks is the host needs to be familiar with the platform as there are many features to use, upon understanding the features one can use it to the full extent for a seamless meeting experience.

We use GoTo Meeting for screen sharing sessions, regular meetings, and calls with the suppliers and the customers (mostly external parties). It helps us to connect with organizations that do not use Microsoft Teams or use Microsoft Teams as a group account. A GoTo meeting session can be easily and instantly set up, and there are not many basic sets up to set.
  • Easy initial setup
  • Can be started through the web browser
  • Possibility to share documents in real-time
  • Using GoTo Meeting client requires a stable internet connection to have even a normal quality call/meeting
  • The chat option is limited such that it does not allow to have a private chat room within a certain meeting
  • Sometimes it does not work properly in older versions of the devices
The GoTo Meeting client is well suited for larger meetings where the number of users is very large. And it is also well suited for having meetings and conferences with external users since the options available for external users are large. However, it requires a stable internet connection, so if you are in an area with an unstable internet connection, GoTo Meeting would not work properly.
