Overall Satisfaction with GlobalMeet Collaboration

GlobalMeet Collaboration is used primarily at my company to communicate between our development teams in China and New York on a weekly basis. We also use it to add remote access to meetings that some users are not able to attend. Users typically call in over the phone, but we’ll occasionally use the web meeting to share video.
  • Provides a stable connection
  • Allows for easy phone access
  • Works well in browser
  • Easy to setup meeting links
  • Supports a lot of users
  • User interface design
  • Desktop application
  • Video quality
  • White board function
  • Meeting deadlines
  • Easy communication
  • Less travel expenses
It is difficult to get new users setup quickly and it is difficult to book meetings if the Outlook integration isn’t set up. The able to set up a conference call is nice, but it creates a default that most users would like to choose. This reduces the functionality of the service and limits collaboration.
GlobalMeet is great as a conference call service, but the audio quality of phones is inherently lacking. It can be difficult to understand speakers and there are often dropouts and distortion on the call. The lack of integration with calendars is a huge issue for me. Teams makes booking a call for me twice as fast if not more.
GlobalMeet Collaboration was most useful as a way to provide phone access to a large group in different locations. We also used it to book standing meetings with various teams. This service is great when you need to share screens and/or video. Most users default to the phone and then have a difficult time getting to the online call.
