Use Cases and Deployment Scope

GoTo Meeting is one of the primary video conference programs used in our company. It is used by the whole organization. During the Coronavirus days our company prefers online meetings as they are much more safer compare to offline meetings. GoTo Meeting is used to organize our online meetings and make them enjoyable for everyone.

Pros and Cons

The audio quality is perfect.
The video quality is much better compared to other video conference platform(like Google Meet)
You can share your screen(this is really important for our meetings)
It is very easy to use. You just run the app, enter the code of the meeting and you are already in.
You can record a meeting and then rewatch it again.
The number of participants in a single meeting can reach up to 500 members
You can create pools and make the interaction with the meeting members better

When they are a lot of people in the meeting it starts lagging
The pricing is really high compared to other similar software
If you enter the meeting using a mobile device you can have a lot of issues even if your internet connection is perfect.

Return on Investment

It makes the quality of our video conferences better, by providing a better audio and video quality.
It is really expensive software, so our company thinks to shift from it to other similar programs (like Skype for Business or Zoom)
It allows to have a meeting with more participants.

Alternatives Considered

Google Hangouts Meet

First of all I was not the person who decided to use GoTo Meeting instead of any other software so I really can not answer this question. But in my opinion the video and audio quality of GoTo Meeting is much better compared to Google Hangouts Meet. On the other hand Google Hangouts Meet has a better integration with other software that we normally use and is also more affordable.
