Overall Satisfaction with GlobalMeet Collaboration

We use GlobalMeet to conduct many of our teleconferences. Particularly while traveling, it is easy to set up calls with many different people. It is used by manufacturing, marketing, sales, and technical personnel. We typically do not use GlobalMeet when a presentation needs to be shared as it is not as convenient to set up as Teams.
  • I conduct a weekly meeting with colleagues in EU through GlobalMeet to get updates on current plant performance.
  • Our president conducts a monthly call on GlobalMeet to provide business status to manufacturing, commercial, sales, technical, and research personnel.
  • During COVID-19, we utilize GlobalMeet for our daily operations meeting at our Pasadena, TX facility while everyone is working from home.
  • As I mentioned before, it is not as convenient to use when sharing data as Teams so we tend to use Teams for sharing presentations.
  • On occasion, there is an echo which makes it hard to hear others.
  • I have noticed that when I use my computer as the device rather than my phone, it tends to drop more often than my phone (may be my internet connection).
  • Critical communication during COVID-19.
  • Global interaction regardless of where someone is.
  • Improved efficiency through easy and effective communication.
Our company has given us several tools to use for collaboration, one of which is GlobalMeet. It was the first and we have typically used it for calls, but other tools have been used for data sharing. Likely I would rate it higher if I used it more frequently, but overall, the tools I have used, for the most part, have been good.
I think Teams is easier to use, however, I have a call-in number for GlobalMeet, so it is easy for me to set up meetings through GlobalMeet and then call in from anywhere. Generally, I think other companies have done more to progress their product than GlobalMeet, but again, part of that is due to my lack of use of all of the features GlobalMeet has to offer.
I have used GlobalMeet for many years and am pleased with its reliability, however, I think other systems have probably surpassed it from an ease of use standpoint.
