GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect allows us easy access from anywhere to the UK number, and seamless integration with Outlook etc.
- VoIP
- Reginal (UK) landline number
- Virtual meeting integration
- Updates are sometimes a bit struggling
GoTo Connect - A wonderful tool for Webinars
- Record feature to send out after the webinars we hosted
- Presenter features like muting all participants
- The software was easy to use for both presenters and attendees
- Sometimes there were technical errors with connectivity and users were unable to connect and join but they've worked out many of those kinks
The reason we bought GoTo Meeting in the first place as it was the best tool for hosting webinars with our clients. Each Account Manager had 60 accounts and instead of hosting 60 induvial meetings, we would host webinars and office hours with GoTo meet so we could share the recordings and it has great presenter mode.
Super easy VOIP System
- Transfer calls
- Soft phones
- Park calls
- None
- Being able to create multiple conference rooms without any additional charges
- Allows us to create various efaxes without any additional charge
- Now we are able to send out text messages within our network
- Jive can provide a better onboarding training process
Great Cloud-Based Phone Solution
- Up time
- Feature rich like my old phone system
- Highly portable for on the go users
- Responsive customer service to help with any issues
- I am not as impressed with Dial Plan GUI
- Accounting has to wait a few days for the billing PDF to be ready
- Moves-Adds-Changes could be more intuitive
GoTo Connect
- Warm Transfer
- Checking Messages
- Managing phones
- GoTo Meetings
- Admin should be able to check messages for any phone without knowing password
- Able to monitor and pull reports easily
- Allows use on a variety of devices
- Gives us multiple functions with one system: internal and external calls, messaging, and meetings
- Gives immediate notification
- Our biggest issue is dropped calls. This is particularly frustrating when talking to highly emotional clients
- Randomly delayed receipt of text messages
- Often, if we text from the computer, that communication does not appear on the phone app
- Poor/spotty connections
GoTo it NOW!
- quick connection time
- clear voice recognition
- caller ID is adequate
- occasional call disconnect
- occasional service interruption
Don't go to GoTo!
- Good attitudes when they finally call you back
- Good phone service that doesn't drop calls
- Will contact you back after a few days, even if you need them right away
- You will not be able to contact their customer service by phone
- They will charge you for every change you make, even a simple name on caller ID
- They do not resolve your issues until maybe a week or month later
You’ll not be able to cancel
GoTo Connect-Decent Offering For The Price-Support Problematic
- GoTo has a very good visual dial plan management. Works like flow charts. Easy to use and highly customizable.
- Ring Groups are easy to configure and set up in GoTo for active departments like Shipping where people are almost never at their desks.
- Adding new hardware is super simple. Really like that we can purchase hardware from other vendors like Amazon and then add it to our PBX easily.
- The GoTo Mobile app has not been the best experience, particularly with wifi-only smartphone usage. Our users really want this feature to work but it's just not there yet. Our users tend to complain of calls not ringing through, dropped calls, call interference and just poor overall performance.
- I am less than thrilled with the GoTo Support when we have issues. It can be very difficult to get your issues routed to the correct area unless you really push. I feel like this prevents GoTo from handling tickets in a timely manner. I've also had tickets never get handled that I've put in online until I call to follow up and find out why.
- While overall, the PBX experience is okay for admin functions, I'd like to see some things like a link on a user's PBX extension to take me directly to usage reports for that user. I'd like to be able to easily run reports tracking device usage so I can see what devices are being highly utilized in our system and what are not. Making it easier to determine where areas need more phones and others don't. I'd like to see more PBX and system reports in general so we can really drill down into our usage and utilization.

- The interface online is not always intuitive and it can be difficult to find information.
- A filter for spam faxes would be excellent. Far too many junk faxes come through.
