No, we did not purchase premium support for GoTo Meeting. The reason is that the standard support provided with the subscription has been sufficient for our needs. GoTo Meeting’s platform is user-friendly and stable, and we haven’t encountered any major technical issues that required advanced troubleshooting or priority support. Additionally, the comprehensive online resources, such as the knowledge base, tutorials, and community forums, have been very helpful in resolving any minor issues or questions we've had.
Yes, there was a time when GoTo (formerly LogMeIn) provided us with exceptional support for GoTo Meeting. We experienced a critical issue during a high-stakes client presentation where some participants could not connect to the meeting due to a server error. This was a particularly important meeting involving key stakeholders, and any delay or disruption could have negatively impacted our client relationship.We immediately reached out to GoTo’s customer support team, and they responded remarkably quickly. Within minutes, a support representative was on the line, guiding us through troubleshooting steps to identify the root cause of the issue. When it became clear that this was a server-side problem, the support team promptly escalated the case to their technical team. They kept us informed throughout the process, providing real-time updates and working diligently to resolve the issue.
