Overall Satisfaction with GoToMeeting

GoToMeeting was being used to host online meetings to allow multiple individuals, not on the location of job sites to attend various meetings, such as collaboration and coordination sessions, internal staff meetings, schedule review, and so forth. It provided both Audio and visual screen sharing for everyone to participate and see what was being discussed.
  • Allow multiple people to meet and talk together.
  • Track previous meeting attendance.
  • Set recurring meetings.
  • Audio quality is often poor.
  • Screen markup tools are limited and only granted by the presenter/organizer.
  • It allows companies to save the cost of travel to long-distance locations.
It's a fairly simple interface, and most users can get set up quickly to start a meeting. Adjusting controls, granting screen markup permissions, and switching presenters takes only a couple of actions.
  • Zoom
Zoom seems to have dialed in on many of the areas where GoToMeeting was lacking. The audio and video quality seems to perform much better. The attendees automatically have markup tools available that don't need a presenter to grant permission to use.
It's helpful for groups of people from as few as 2 to as many as 25 to meet remotely and see a presenters' screen to discuss items. Nearly any industry could use it. Sales, to review quarterly progress, IT, and web could review code or help a user diagnose a computer issue. HR management could review the company processes.
