Overall Satisfaction with GoToMeeting

GoToMeeting is used by our sales and marketing department to arrange remote presentations and software demonstrations. It allows us to give a personal demonstration to prospects as well as customers without a face to face meeting. We are an international company and it allows us to reach all of our customers without needing to travel.
  • Sharing my screen to provide demonstrations.
  • Connecting to audio without relying on the participant having a Skype account.
  • Setting up meetings is quick and easy. Can simply copy and paste the session ID for people to connect.
  • It can take a few minutes for participants to connect to the audio.
  • I would like it to automatically connect to Outlook for Mac to add to my diary.
  • There are possibly too many updates.
  • It could be cheaper to add more users.
  • It saves travel costs.
  • Cheaper options are available but it is reliable and we have few issues.
We used WebEx a few years ago but it was not as reliable. However, it was a few years ago so cannot compare to the current edition.

We've also used Skype but the screen sharing is not as reliable and having multiple participants in the meeting is not as easy as GoToMeeting to manage.
For providing software demonstrations across the internet GoToMeeting is ideal. It works in almost all situations where a face to face meeting is not required. You can share audio, webcams, and screens. You can switch presenters if you need a participant to share their screen too. You can see who is talking and send private messages which is also useful.
