Great for enterprise web conferencing

Microsoft Teams has always given us issues if we run an extensive meeting with more than 30 participants. Often, HR would train many people at once, and call quality would degrade or crash. This provides a good alternative when Teams is not working correctly, but we must continue orientation or training. It is inappropriate for all meetings since we are embedded in the Microsoft ecosystem, and Teams integrates well with SharePoint.

Cons
  • admin panel design
Read full review
  • Lack of security updates (Not sure if they are taking care of but they should make users aware of it frequently)
  • Brand recognition improvement (Specifically in the US market where many customers still prefer Zoom)
  • Many prospects still consider GoTo as a legacy platform compared to Meet, Teams, Zoom. This is not a missing feature but GoTo team should really position themselves as innovative rather than pre-existing perceived notion of being legacy.

We used other software like goto meetings but found it best because of its user friendly interface and easy interfacing. It helped us in COVID and now we can say we are depending on it and love it. We recommend it to our friends company and they are also using it. It is very affordable and easy to integrate with system

When we have issues, they seem to respond quickly and do everything they can to help us. They have even tried to find other ways we could get more use out of their product, or improve the way we are currently using it. Overall, their support has been fairly good for us.

GoTo Meetings has no time limit for sessions with more than x attendees. GoTo Meetings provides an easy way to allow attendees to share their screens. GoTo Meeting does not require membership/license/registration attendees; they are not required to download the desktop application. They can attend from the web if they choose to do so.
