Overall Satisfaction with GoToMeeting
As a global organization, we needed a solution for meetings that allowed us to have clear face-to-face communication across great distances. We used it across the organization and especially when working with industry associations. The simplicity of the platform allowed us to use it on the fly with customers who weren't previously familiar with the system.
- No matter the platform (PC, Mac, tablet, etc.) it's fast and easy to start an instant meeting with anyone.
- Screen sharing, multi-camera support, and document sharing make it easy to present the right info at the right time.
- Calendar integration makes it easy to schedule with one or many people at at time.
- While the system is very robust, at times I'd like to see a scaled down option for one-to-one meetings.
- Sharing a file instead of screen sharing would be a nice add-in.
- A faster keyboard shortcut for mute / unmute would be useful.
- The ability to present products to customers and to record the session for their later review allows for more engaged and longer-lasting customer interactions.
- Since we can send recordings after a meeting to attendees who missed it, we can ensure that all our intended audience members get the information they need.
- Using digital meetings to show products has saved us on travel time and cost, which allows us to reach more customers across more area in less time.
- Zoom, Webex Meetings and Adobe Connect
GoToMeeting, Zoom, and WebEx have very similar features, pricing, and user experience. We primarily chose GoToMeeting because it was the most pervasive meeting client on the market. Many of our overseas partners, industry associations, and customers already used GoToMeeting and so it was easy for us to implement it since they were familiar with it. Occasionally, a different product would win because of a specific feature but we always returned to GoToMeeting because of its simplicity and market share.

- Starting Meetings
- Inviting Attendees
- Sharing video and on-screen content
- Downloading the program for the first time
Yes - The mobile interface for GoToMeeting is very simple. Users must first download the application which may require device space and a wi-fi connection. Apart from that, starting a meeting, joining a meeting, and participating in the meeting are very intuitive and simple. The ability to meet anywhere on any device through mobile support is really a win!
