"The solution worked well specifically for audio meetings."
"The most important feature for me was the iPhone app."

"I like GoToMeeting because it is lighter than other solutions, such as Webex."
"The most valuable feature is the dial-in capability."

"Using GoToMeeting in a meeting-sized conference room is kind of a letdown. The camera is supposed to track the speaker and focus on that person so that they can be on the screen. That feature rarely worked. We tested it thoroughly, so maybe it was an issue with the size of the conference room. It may not be suitable for large conference rooms."

"The newer user interface takes a bit longer to get used to."
