Overall Satisfaction with GoToMeeting

I have utilized GoToMeeting through a variety of professional organizations but also personal organizations. Professionally, GoToMeeting has been helpful with regional events, national committees, and state-wide meetings. I found GoToMeeting to be particularly helpful in rebuilding relationships with peers and professionals who have grown disconnected. This was particularly helpful with Fraternity Alumni Boards.
  • Fewer connectivity issues then with Skype or Google Hangout for various sized groups.
  • Good technical support when issues have arisen (mostly operator error).
  • Found it to be vary compatible both on my iPad and android phone.
  • The price point seems reasonable but I wish there was a lower personal rate.
  • Last time screen sharing was wonky and laggy.
  • The user interface is less welcoming and operational then Skype.
  • Increases committees working over distance.
  • GoToMeeting helps keep and cultivate meaningful partnership.
  • Allows group to meet with restrictive travel budgets.
I found that with in your own company or group google hangout and their chat feature meet my needs. Skype was the front runner with Whatsapp for my personal communication with friends and overseas. I really appreciate GoToMeeting for larger companies, committees, and for large group collaborations over significant distances.
I really like GoToMeeting for committee work or meetings when you cannot attend physically. I think the higher volume of user, over 10, and the management becomes more difficult. I think the other thing to consider is what type of work you are planning on accomplishing. GoToMeeting works best for planning and wrap up/debriefing meetings.
