Overall Satisfaction with GoTo Meeting

We've used GoTo Meeting with several partner organizations as it's the platform they prefer. I've also had experience using it with my volunteer committee position with our town government, as it was the platform they selected early in the pandemic. The software allows us to meet when in-person meetings aren't practical, or in the case of the pandemic, allowed.
  • Shows all attendees on one screen or allows stage
  • Fairly seamless audio and video connection
  • Option to record meetings
  • Clunky compared to similar software, it doesn't seem to have as much finesse
  • Less flexibility in setting up the screen and viewing all participants
  • Some people have more trouble connecting audio and video on this platform than on other ones.
  • It allowed us to keep meeting when in-person wasn't an option
  • We were able to record meetings that needed to be recorded
  • We could have committee meetings or events where attendees could be anonymous
Our town selected GoTo Meetings and that's how I ended up using it so much, in monthly meetings with them. In all honesty, when the contract was due for renewal, they switched to Zoom, another platform I use in both my personal and professional settings. While I found GoTo Meetings worked and it was functional, I prefer the other platforms over it.

Do you think GoTo Meeting delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Did GoTo Meeting live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of GoTo Meeting go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy GoTo Meeting again?

No

We used it for virtual meetings when we couldn't meet in person. Of all the software I've used for virtual meetings since the pandemic started though, it's one of my least favorites, although it does seem to be more secure than some of the other options. It works and it's functional, it accomplishes the task at hand, but I was never overly impressed.
