GlobalMeet is very similar to other collaboration products. GoToMeeting and Cisco Webex are very similar products.

We haven't transitioned fully to GlobalMeet for webinars yet, so we are continuing to use GoToMeeting for webinars. However, we use GlobalMeet on a limited basis for our larger conference calls.

GlobalMeet just was the better option just because of ease of use. The interface is easy to use and learn and it offers all of the features I needed. The price was just right as well. I never liked WebEx and GoToMeeting feels like it lacks a little. Blue Jeans to me was too …

Chose GoTo Meeting
I do prefer GlobalMeet over GoToMeeting. GlobalMeet has a better Microsoft Outlook plugin that works very well and easily. I’ve had problems with scheduling meetings through Outlook on GoToMeeting but it’s my preference. Both are suitable for large companies but GoToMeeting …

Highlights
Research Team Insight
Published
GoToMeeting and GlobalMeet Collaboration are two popular web and video conferencing products. GoToMeeting is the online meetings focused component of the LogMeIn online communications platform. GlobalMeet Collaboration is also the online meetings product for PGi’s suite of online communications software.
On TrustRadius, most GoToMeeting reviewers are from mid-sized companies and working in the Computer Software industry. GlobalMeet Collaboration is most popular with enterprises, but is most commonly represented by professionals in Hospital & Health Care. GlobalMeet Collaboration is popular in this industry given its reputation for being a secure choice.
Features
GoToMeeting is the online meeting, desktop sharing, and video conferencing software solution from LogMeIn. Its notable features are its slide capture (video-to-presentation) capabilities which support content creation, management of multiple meeting URLs, and dedication to providing encrypted online meetings and SSO login support.
As previously mentioned, GlobalMeet Collaboration’s biggest selling point is its security features. The vendor promises to be secure and reliable and stay on top of ever-evolving data security policies and regulations. Due to issues like “Zoom-bombing”, security is a bigger-than-ever topic in online meetings software.
Outside of online events security, GlobalMeet Collaboration also receives kudos for having an intuitive and easy-to-use interface and in-touch customer support team.
Limitations
GoToMeeting receives the most criticism for not having a very intuitive user interface. Some reviewers describe it as out-dated and “clunky”. Additionally, reviewers report that GoToMeeting can be a bit laggy sometimes, which can deter users from participating in online meetings.
Drawbacks to GlobalMeet Collaboration for some reviewers include lack of advanced add-on features (in comparison to competitors), host controls not being robust enough, and troubleshooting issues. GlobalMeet seems to work best when all participants are participating virtually, rather than there being a mix of in-person and virtual guests.
Pricing
According to TrustRadius research, 72% of GoToMeeting users believe it delivers good value for its price. This is important, as GoToMeeting is not available for free like a majority of products in the web and video conferencing software space. Its cheapest plan starts at $12 per host per month with support for up to 150 participants per meeting. Its Business plan increases this number to 250 participants at $16 per host per month. Its Enterprise plan can support up to as many as 3,000 participants, but pricing varies greatly depending on team size and other circumstances particular to your business.
GlobalMeet Collaboration tracks at being less expensive than GoToMeeting. It also has a free plan, with its paid plans starting at $12 per month per user with an annual commitment. It features an enterprise plan whose pricing its contingent on company size and host requirements and includes global dial-out and toll-free number options which are a plus for meetings with a lot of external participants.

GlobalMeet Collaboration is great for giving product trainings, presentations and webinars over the phone to a wide number of users remotely. It is well suited for meetings where screens and documents need to be shared live during a conference call for easy collaboration

I provide regular training as a big portion of my job. There is weekly training with an infinite number of users in attendance on any given date—GoTo Meeting is not the best option for this because I would have to mute users as they join the meeting. However, I also provide frequent training sessions to a small number of users that feature more individualized content, and having them able to mute/unmute at will is a better fit for a smaller group with in-depth materials.

Something that GlobalMeet does well is distributing a meeting to users. The system integrates well with our Outlook system and allows easy meeting distributions.
GlobalMeet is good at providing an easy way to record web meetings. The feature works well and is easy to download after.

There is a cost for the conferencing services unlike competitors like FreeConferenceCall.com or Skype which have free options. However, you pay for what you get and the audio/connection quality can and has been an issue for us with other vendors.
There are a lot of shortcuts that can be used on the line to mute/unmute lines, record the audio, request operator assistance, etc. However, these are difficult to memorize so we end up forgetting or relying on a print-out of the shortcuts that we keep near our desks. I wish there was an easier way to use these such as voice commands.
In the post-conference email recaps you get the phone numbers of those who dialed in. However, it can be difficult to know who these numbers belong to unless you remember the direct #s for the participants. I wish there was a way to save contact info for certain phone numbers within the system and let GlobalMeet add the names to the numbers for all future post-conference emails.

GlobalMeet is not a very good tool. There are better web meeting platforms available in the marketplace. The system is clunky, not intuitive, and experiences often technical issues. They have made updates recently but it is too little too late. It may be a good platform for smaller organizations with tighter budgets.

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

I have provided such a high rating because setting up the meeting only requires a few clicks. Within a couple minutes of telling my team that I will set up a meeting and send an invite, that invitation is already sitting in their inbox. I move at a fast pace and GlobalMeet is keeping up

The simplicity of GoToMeetings desktop, mobile, and web-based applications make it a very robust and user-friendly meeting solution. At times, it may be more complex than needed, but it is nice to have so many features that can be used if needed. Once installed, it is very easy to use and navigate.

For the most part GlobalMeet loaded everything quickly. The only problem that we had was when the whole company was on a training at one time, we had a hard time with screen sharing and the pages loading in a timely manner. Everything seemed to slow down when lots of people were on the system at once

As previously mentioned, I was in charge of facilitating a weekly meeting with 60 attendees. I had major issues with the screenshare crashing repeatedly during the meeting. I got in contact with a GlobalMeet Technician immediately. He was extremely responsive and worked with my technician to resolve all of the issues quickly. After his intervention, I never had the same issue again.

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.

Our small non-profit organization appreciates the ease of use of the platform for conference call needs. Other platforms can be much more complicated for users unfamiliar with conference call technology. We use it several times a month for committee meetings, regional rep check ins, and meetings with our board of directors.

Many times, it seems like GoTo Meeting requires less bandwidth to run. We noticed with a few test machines that if you have over twenty video streams, this product could handle the load better than if we used Microsoft Teams and had many video streams.

The price for webinar for GlobalMeet is quite pricey compared to other similar vendors.
GlobalMeet can be used for unlimited free calls and video conferencing, hence in our company with extensive global calls this platform is very cost-effective.
Unlike most conferencing software. Other users don't have to download GlobalMeet App and therefore it is easy to send meeting invite to clients.
Attentively support system that responds fast to queries and this saves time for us.

Any collaboration app these days are now a great addition for those organizations which have more than one office and they need to collaborate with each other.
GoTo Meeting can contribute to cost savings by reducing the need for extensive travel, accommodation, and related expenses associated with in-person meetings especially in case like us as we have multiple branches.
