GoTo Meeting was recently started to be used in my company. Earlier, we were using Zoom for video conferencing. It has the same features as Zoom, and my experience has been easy to move to it.
  • Easy to create meetings.
  • Easily shareable meeting invites.
  • A good feature set.
  • End to end encryption should be there.
  • Attendee limit should be increased.
It does its job pretty well. Delivers on all its promised features.

We were drawn to use GoTo Meeting when we needed a VOIP service in that we could transfer calls between locations in different states, and we weren't able to do that with our respective phone provider. GoTo was an option that came with VOIP service that came highly recommended and was a cost-effective solution. It was feature rich and allowed us to use an app on our phones in order to make phone/video calls while on the go without being tethered to an office.
  • Feature rich - offers ability to share screen.
  • Able to connect to a meeting through a browser rather than having to download dedicated software.
  • Price point is very competitive.
  • Support was outstanding over the phone and through email.
  • Video quality wasn't on par with other platforms.
  • A lack of familiarity/adoption discouraged other users.
If you are looking for an all-in-one platform that has no time restrictions and works relatively well, GoTo Meeting is a good, affordable option. The fact that you get extremely feature-rich VOIP calling and every user gets their own unlimited video meeting address is a huge plus. Video quality was less impressive than some competitors.

I use it to meet with other businesses and departments, including City Officials. It is also sometimes used for training and lunch and learns. It is used for scheduled meetings where screen sharing is a necessary component. It is also useful for meetings due to the ability to link a webcam for video conferencing.
  • Video Conferencing.
  • Screen Sharing.
  • Scheduled Meetings.
  • Ease of Use compared to other similar applications.
It is well suited for scheduled meetings where screen sharing is important. It is also good when video conferencing is preferred.

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.

GoTo Meeting has been an asset lately especially when we have to work in a remote environment wherein internal coordination and team management has been a challenge. Not only Team coordination, GoTo Meeting has helped us with communicating with our customers for Pre and Post Sales Processes. GoTo Meeting lets you share your selected screen instantly to any device with a browser/application. It's mostly used in our organization on Windows and Mac Machine and since its inception, it is always a pleasure using the application. The Product is definitely recommended for its wide variety of tools and subsequent reasons.
  • GoTo Meeting with its web conferencing tool that allows us to host an online meeting is on par with other competitors in the market
  • When it comes to security and reliability, there is no doubt about it. GoTo Meeting honors full control over the equipment of the connected participants in the shared meeting which is liked mostly by our team.
  • The Product is scalable with lot's of features and potentials, it will be a good package for big enterprises.
  • Firstly, the user experience can be improved with moving down complexity in the product.
  • I am not a fan for a product which needs you to be a tech savy, UI is good but UX still needs to be improved.
  • Pricing is a factor, but since how the product is evolving it is understandable
  • Application should have a lighter version
We have never been shouted out for using a less secure product as we deal in sensitive client data, security has been a top priority and GoTo Meeting can be trusted for that. We have been similarly reviewed for using such a product wherein there are fewer chances of data breach and servers that are hosted in non-friendly locations or trustworthy one would say. The remote controls and grip on the meeting host is well defined which empowers the host's confidence.

We have a central home office in Waco but six other locations across Texas. GoTo Meeting helps us meet once a month, mainly with our sales departments and location managers, to review the previous month and forecast the next. It's nice to be able to see everyone and also to be able to demo the new products we will be selling. The sales team loves GoTo because they can join in even if they are in their car or working from home.
  • The automatic draft invitation is clean and simple to forward to team members.
  • The technology has always been without lag time or down for any reason.
  • It allows several managers to be able to edit, add, or create a meeting for the same date.
  • Maybe an ability to edit a more creative invitation for Holiday meetings, etc.
If most of the stuff you want to address in your meeting is physically able to join you, I still feel like you should be "hands-on." But with our offices so spaced out and some folks working from home for various reasons, the scheduling and reliable platform of GoTo has been the perfect answer for our monthly all-call staff reports.

GoTo Meeting has been a useful resource for gathering colleagues in conversation about issues that need a team approach when we aren't able to be together in person.
  • GoTo Meeting provides an interface that allows colleagues to connect when distant from each other.
  • Virtual conferencing helps colleagues to engage in conversation and address issues beyond the office.
  • Sharing the screen during meetings allows colleagues and presenters to display images, graphics, and projects with ease.
  • Content sharing allows my team to share creative content among eachother.
  • GoTo Meeting could be more user-friendly for those of us that aren't in the corporate world. I have found that non-techy people are confused by the program.
  • I have used it both on my PC and Ipad. GoTo Meeting is much easier to use on my PC which is frustrating because my Ipad is more portable.
GoTo Meeting seems to be preferred by businesses that are in the corporate realm. I have found that it is not as easy for the general public to use as Zoom, but it offers different options. I have used it when meeting with various organizations to which I belong. The free platform is simple and, generally, easy to use.

This GoTo Meeting helped in connecting all clients all around the world with you any latency in communication. We later used to schedule meetings with guests and other hosts to fix our business and technical problems. Dashboarding Problems are mostly cleared using this application. Most of the technical issues were cleared with video meets and screen share features.
  • Discussions within intra and inter-team are most easy.
  • Scheduling meets for guests.
  • Screen recording and sharing helps many users to review the missed meets.
  • Breakout Rooms are need for few cases.
  • Video sharing to include audio of system and fix mic issues.

The best part about GoTo Meeting is that it is very compact. While other software are very large in size, GoTo Meeting is small and provides almost all the features that are needed for an online session. The app is easy to use and does not give any connectivity issues most of the time. One other best thing is the customer service provided by GoTo meeting.

GoTo Meeting is used at a large scale by our marketing and sales development team. I have personally set many demonstrations and follow-up calls with my prospective clients. My Marketing has involved me even in the Webinars for sitting clients and partners. We have done so many sessions on new product announcements to a larger audience.
  • Goto Meeting is fixing my and my teams calendar well for the session.
  • GoTo Meeting is giving away notifications for preparation.
  • GoTo Meeting is also supportive to share docs and screens in different modes.
  • GoTo Meeting can improve on Chatbot, they need to have a internal stakeholders chat window.
  • Goto Meeting should improve on audio quality while sharing a video.
  • GoTo Meeting has a great scope on admin rights for a group aspects.
GoTo Meeting is well suited for webinar sessions where we have a bigger audience participating, it gives an easy plug-in to run and join the session within friction of seconds. GoTo Meeting is less appropriate when it comes to secure document sharing between the counterpart departments viz internal HR interactions or finance discussion over the client's confidential docs.

We've used GoTo Meeting with several partner organizations as it's the platform they prefer. I've also had experience using it with my volunteer committee position with our town government, as it was the platform they selected early in the pandemic. The software allows us to meet when in-person meetings aren't practical, or in the case of the pandemic, allowed.
  • Shows all attendees on one screen or allows stage
  • Fairly seamless audio and video connection
  • Option to record meetings
  • Clunky compared to similar software, it doesn't seem to have as much finesse
  • Less flexibility in setting up the screen and viewing all participants
  • Some people have more trouble connecting audio and video on this platform than on other ones.
We used it for virtual meetings when we couldn't meet in person. Of all the software I've used for virtual meetings since the pandemic started though, it's one of my least favorites, although it does seem to be more secure than some of the other options. It works and it's functional, it accomplishes the task at hand, but I was never overly impressed.

GoTo Meeting is an excellent tool that allows planning and organization without complications, with a high level of business offering features that allow me to transform online events into engaging experiences, I like this software because it offers powerful features, speed, and security from the start to finish, It is flexible allowing interaction from anywhere and any device on desktop, phone, and tablet. I like it a lot because it offers information with a resource center and assistance to be at the forefront of its users.
  • GoTo Meeting is a powerful real-time platform that allows you to professionally interact, plan and organize events. It is a tool that works perfectly, being of great help and providing innumerable benefits. It has worked perfectly for me without any failures or interruptions.
  • GoTo Meeting has helped me plan and attracts more and better participants through pre-recorded events and webcast mode, allowing this option to unite up to 3000 attendees without the need for downloads, it helps me through flexible planning, configuring specific events, helps me create surveys, and records analyze and improve. It helps me work productively and collaboratively, increase my workflow and expand my audience, it is the best experience I have ever had, professional and effective.

GoTo Meeting is a tool that offers intuitive and affordable video conferencing from any place and device, I really like this software because it allows me to turn any room into a smart meeting space with ease of use and configuration with integrations that provide reliability, I love that it offers a visually pleasing interface and flexible features.
  • GoTo Meeting is a software that offers solutions to start video conferences through smart rooms from anywhere, a tool that offers scalability and the opportunity to communicate with colleagues and clients without taking a step. It works perfectly with features that fit our needs.
  • GoTo Meeting is a solution that, through a visually pleasing interface and ease of use, allows us to carry out secure videoconferences with HD audio and video quality. In my organization, productivity has increased by 14% thanks to this solution, days when we need to see faces. Communicate with customers, colleagues, vendors, and co-workers.
GoTo Meeting makes it possible by connecting from anywhere in a professional manner as if we were in the same location, the workflow is increasing and team decisions are made in the best way, increasing productivity and development to advance day by day and have great results for the future.

When the pandemic hit, we had two needs: continue the education of our students, and collaborate on the paths we were going to take given the closures. While Zoom was the best fit for the student aspect, GoTo Meeting gave us more flexibility on the teacher/administration side. The meetings themselves were focused on internal activities with the school. For one, we needed to have spur of the moment discussions on what policies to enact when we returned. We had Zooms for the classrooms, but having our own platform made it easier to log in without the confusion of multiple accounts. It really became the backend virtual meeting tool for us!
  • Ability to share documents in real time
  • Ability to control a user's screen
  • Larger meetings without the extra cost
  • Accessible
  • Only as reliable as the user's connection
  • I do get marketing emails that are not very relevant for us -- that could be attributed to a need for better lead segmentation
GoTo Meeting had the offerings of Zoom before Zoom had them and didn't charge outlandishly. It is great for teams who need to collaborate and need to be able to meet at a moment's notice without having to worry about conflicts of program or technology. It is less appropriate when you can just pick up the phone and talk to someone, as you won't be using the tools available, and it essentially becomes a regular conference program. If you have a lot of employees in your company and maybe 60% of them aren't comfortable with technology, then this program will work better for them than Zoom. It is more user-friendly for the person logging in. It would not be suited for online teaching of students, though -- this is a collaboration tool; you would be using a racecar to get to the end of the driveway.

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.

It connects the company in numerous project meetings. We tend to use it weekly to discuss project timelines and deadlines. It’s quick and easy whenever we use it even when presenting with PowerPoint or excel.
  • Virtual meetings: video and phone
  • Screen sharing: presenting reports or trainings
  • Sometimes, the connection as people have a hard time logging into a meeting
We do a lot of conference calls and virtual meetings weekly. Now that our work is remote, we do more video calls. It’s a way for staff to stay connected and see each other when there are hardly face-to-face interactions. It also helps us present our reports efficiently as people are able to follow along and see the timeline being executed.

We used to use GoTo Meeting as a tool for conference calls with suppliers and clients. We also used it as a tool to enable calls for collaborator from inside the company, supporting collaboration between teams based in different locations of the company.
  • Video conference
  • Screen sharing
  • Privacy configurations
  • Video recording
  • Breakout rooms could be more intuitive
  • Access to meeting for people from outside of the company has some difficulties sometimes
GoTo Meeting is well suited for small conference calls when you need to make a presentation for a small group of people, for example. For larger meetings, like seminaries, classes or workshops, where you might need some interactions through the chat or you need to setup some breakout room, other options deliver a better work.

We use GoTo Meeting for video calls. That's for new business inquiries and for talking with clients. It's like Zoom, Google Meet, Vectora, or Microsoft Team's video conferencing, however in the browser. Sometimes a client has a quick question about updating a website and I get on a video call with them and share my screen.
  • Video calling at high-quality
  • Screen sharing
  • Audio calls
  • Not much, the rebrand looks great
Working with doctors, they almost always can't install the software. So Zoom calls are a no-no. Here GoTo Meeting shines as we can send a link to the call and it loads in their browser. Nothing to install! I like this a lot as it reduces friction and makes for an easier experience.

We often use GoTo Meeting with vendors and support services to connect and attend meetings. GoTo Meeting allows for quick and secures conferencing that helps us communicate and get projects done. We have relied on GoTo Meeting in the past to connect with our vendors and support services to work through server and switch issues. The platform has been a great help in resolving issues remotely.
  • Multi-person conferences
  • Secure conferences
  • Allows Dial in services
  • LogMeIn has given us some issues in the past, especially when needing to block some of the services they provide
  • End users get confused by the amount of different GoTo Meeting apps on the app store, all made by GoTo Meeting
  • Call quality could be better in GoTo Meeting. Sound issues are sometimes a problem.
GoTo Meeting is great for working remotely or in a team that is remote. We have utilized it to allow support vendors into systems and work through issues together. GoTo Meeting as a straight video conference software works well, but if sound/video quality is a concern, it may fall short. Software such as Zoom may be a better option, especially for meetings where video and audio quality are a top concern. If you're just needing a good piece of software to work remotely with multiple people, GoTo Meeting gets the job done.

GoTo Meeting is primarily used in our environment when non-employees will be pulled into a virtual or hybrid meeting. It is often used when documents or screens need to be shared or interacted with by multiple users. Even then, because of its lag in features, it’s the last choice behind Teams, Zoom, and other products.
  • It’s easy to schedule a meeting.
  • It seems to be fairly easy to connect to your video and audio devices.
  • Sharing your screen isn’t difficult.
  • It is literally one of the only products that don’t have the ‘blur background’ feature out of the box. In a work-from-home era, this is a huge oversight.
  • The interface is way clunkier than those of their competitors.
  • I personally hate their chat.
GoTo Meeting is useful when you need to meet virtually and share documents or workflow with others from your screen. They make it easy to share videos or audio. However, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Cisco Webex all do a better job of these tasks, whether it be their feature sets or interfaces.

One of the biggest positive takeaways from the covid fiasco in education was the ability to meet remotely for PDs or department meetings. GoTo Meeting has been a lot more user-friendly than Teams or Zoom as evident by the lack of technical issues meeting facilitators experienced. We used this program numerous times for department meetings, which allowed us the ability to share information from our classrooms or homes. No more driving to centralized locations!
  • Video quality
  • Sound quality
  • Speed
  • More interesting video effects
  • Speeding up the video recording/downloading features
  • Enable live video backgrounds like .gif files
If you have a basic meeting where all you need to do is chat and share some documents, this program works much better and faster than its competitors. If you want a fancy background or a meeting with a little more pizazz, this program wouldn't be a great fit for you.

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 had used GoTo Meeting as our primary web conferencing solution. I didn't come across any issues when using the product as it was pretty well built. I would say that since using the product, and especially during the pandemic, other great solutions have come into play and since GoTo Meeting is a standalone account, it may not be the most convenient solution any further.
  • Video and audio quality
  • Easy user management
  • User friendly interface
  • Excellent support
  • Better pricing
It is best for enterprises or bigger businesses with the budget for this service otherwise if you have an Office 365 or Google Business account, they have the same offerings for less money and the same account integration.

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.
