We performed a comparison between GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Virtual Meetings solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."GoToMeeting's low latency is crucial because everybody is using VPN to connect to their PCs at work. The sound and video quality are solid, and the whiteboarding features were especially useful. The administrative side of it was fairly simple and intuitive to use."
"Pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive. The pricing is one of the great selling points for the product."
"It's cost-effective."
"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"I think all the features are very useful, especially the rooms features and we present with screen sharing. Instead of organizing conferences, we are able to do that online. This has been saving us from spending on travel. From the beginning of this year, because of GoToMeeting, I have canceled I think three or four business trips."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."
"Ease of setup and login by attendees. Facilitates sharing visually, and not just via audio."
"It's easy to set up."
"The interface is browser-based and simple, which is an advantage over other solutions."
"We were able to build our own customer portal and integrate into GoToWebinar with a seamless interface."
"I can extract the activity and the attendance reports, along with every single question that was asked during the webinar, which is a feature that we highly value."
"All of their features are good. They are more or less equivalent to the competition. There's less disturbance, less jitter, the voice is always good even at a low bandwidth."
"This solution is very reliable. It is easy to switch between audio and microphone when using headphones."
"I don't know whether it is an issue or not but my boss was asking me if person one is in one room, and another person wanted to use another room at the same time, I don't know whether it is possible."
"GoToMeeting is too slow, which is why we no longer use it."
"We would like some improvement in the speed of initiating this solution, as it is currently fairly slow."
"Sometimes we'll run into issues where firewall rules aren't set correctly and won't work."
"I would like to see better support for mobile devices."
"The enrolment for a non-IT user should be easier. It should be simplified for non-IT users."
"I didn't like the fact that they tried to make their new version look like Zoom."
"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
"GoToWebinar would be improved with the inclusion of support for video endpoints."
"The platform feels old and a little rusty, more could be invested into the look and feel of it."
"The sharing of cameras is limited to meeting organizers."
"Some of my friends also use GoToWebinar to collect clients for affiliate marketing. In those cases, they found some features were missing with respect to some of the competition. And the worst part is the price."
"The chat window and using polls is easier in Zoom than compared to GoToWebinar. Make it simpler and easier to publish polls on the fly would improve the solution."
