Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Pros and Cons

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.

Return on Investment

Enhances productivity, by using various features all our work can be done in the meeting itself.
Global meeting experience, Employees who are working abroad can join our meeting to give live updates on the projects.
Desktop integration, the desktop which is not present in the meeting can be used to screen share by generating the screen share link.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
