Google Meet vs. GoTo Meeting

Google Meet was a perfect video conferencing solution for us during our training sessions. The only problems encountered were due to weak signals, which sometimes required us to turn off our video. All features worked very well in tying together a team across four different time zones. I was very impressed with the tool's performance

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.

• First off, the quality of the call is pretty good, especially when all of us are working remotely.
• We can easily schedule our meeting in Google Calendar.
• Sending an invitation link is easy.
• What makes Google Meet stand out from other video conferencing tools is that we can use it for an unlimited time, even if we use the free account.

• Calendar Scheduling: It prepares us for all meetings, automatically sends reminders, and ensures we never miss a meeting.
• Ease of Scheduling: Scheduling a meeting is straightforward and saves us a lot of time.
• The screen-sharing feature allows us to present documents and plans effortlessly during client calls.
• We use the recording feature extensively for training purposes, especially for the onboarding of new members.

• Meet as it comes doesn't have a great way to handle large meetings.
• I don't like the way they hide the mute button. It's a disruptive view to mute/unmute.
• Chat box is the only way to document collaborations within the meeting.

Incentivized

• 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.

Google Hangouts Meet is easy to use and easy to access. I've experienced very few technical issues compared to other similar software options. It's a little less formal than Microsoft Teams but makes it easy to access other google items such as google drive and google docs. Meeting in hangout gives you an easy-to-use hub to not only meet for planning or team-building purposes but to easily share information that can help you with your meeting goals.

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

Google Meet is very easy and simple to use. I can schedule a meeting right on my calendar - it literally takes a few seconds. There is no additional app I have to open to schedule anything. Guests can click on the link easily to join any meetings. 10/10!

The simplicity of GoToMeetings desktop, mobile, and web-based applications make it a very robust and user-friendly meeting solution.

Google does a great job of providing tech support for this product, as it does many others. Similarly, Google has FAQs that cover a large amount of issues faced by users. Problems have not persisted in our use of this product. Problems are resolved quickly and easily, with or without personal Google support.

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.

It was very easy and self-explanatory.

The main positive feature in Google Meet over Zoom to me is the fact that Google meet can be seamlessly deployed in the browser with its full functionality. Unlike Zoom for which you need to download an extra application to use. This consequently makes workflow smooth when transitioning between something like emails and taking part in a meeting.

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.

• Negative: on each webinar someone from our team had to write manually the people that were participating and after that matching it with the registered people list. We wasted time. It could be easily resolved by adding the export list feature
• Positive: Collaboration and internal meetings. Calendar integration helps us save time.

• It has improved the efficiency of our sales meetings, allowing us to close deals faster and with greater clarity.
• There has been a 15% increase in our sales conversion rates.
• The ability to effectively conduct in-house training has improved team productivity and reduced costs associated with in-person training.
