Overall Satisfaction with GlobalMeet Collaboration
GlobalMeet is like that friend who is there in the background ready to jump in and help when things go wrong. Our company primarily uses some of the larger meeting programs but when those don't play well on other peoples' computers and we need a quick fix, GlobalMeet comes to the rescue!
- Versatile software for Macs and PCs
- Has the ability to start a meeting in seconds
- Easy to learn tool for individuals of all experience levels
- Globalmeet isn't as robust as some of the larger digital conference platforms but that's not necessarily a bad thing
- Some features like drawing on the presentation aren't are smooth as some of the competitors
- I'd like to see GlobalMeet do something different instead of being "WebEx-Lite"
- Dramatically cut down on amount of meetings that couldn't be had due to software malfunctions
- Increased the amount of time saved by quickly booting Globalmeet up during a time of software crisis
- Has saved digital conferences when dealing with clients that aren't technically savy
- Skype for Business (formerly Lync)
GlobalMeet just “gets it” which is a rarity in the collaboration world. We tried Skype and it’s good for some things but ultimately we went with GlobalMeet Collaboration because of the reliability. And after all this time we still enjoy the features and overall platform as a whole. It was a good choice for our business.
GlobalMeet Collaboration (discontinued) Feature Ratings
Evaluating GlobalMeet Collaboration and Competitors
Yes - Skype for Business. We replaced that particular platform because we needed the features that weren’t available and if they were available, we needed them to be reliable. Skype just wasn’t. GlobalMeet Collaboration was something we knew would work on every device within our organization and work the first time rather than require a ticket opened with IT.
- Price
- Product Usability
Price was the ultimate decision and it was comparable to other platforms out there but the main decision came down to product usability. We needed people to come in and regardless of their technology knowledge and prowess, they needed to get into the platform and execute on the requirements rather than spend time trying to onboard and learn complex features. GlobalMeet Collaboration just worked.
I would have tried out GlobalMeet Collaboration first because we would have found the platform that fit our organization immediately instead of the trial and error that we went through testing out competitors before we came to GlobalMeet Collaboration. It just felt like a fit once we got it up and running and people seemed to just “get it.” You don’t get that with many of the competitors out there.
