Considered Both Products
GoTo Connect
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect was more complete and affordable than Zoom for what we needed. Much more affordable than teams, some features were sacrificed, but the overall experience is better in my opinion.
Chose GoTo Connect
As I mentioned, the system has given us the freedom to make changes without depending on the provider. It has also given us options we couldn't imagine being possible in a telephone system. The previous system was too controlled by the provider and didn't show us any reports …
Chose GoTo Connect
I have not managed other phone systems before and have not used phones as a large part of positions that I have had
Chose GoTo Connect
Mounds above any of the compitition. They not only beat them on price but again the customer service part in even winning the bid for us was amazing. They truley went far above any other vendor.
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo works as expected, unlike other VOIP providers that often have unfriendly user interfaces and products that don't function as intended.
Chose GoTo Connect
Honestly, we still need to use LogMeIn Rescue because of differences in use cases, and GoTo Meetings leaves a lot to be desired if you are trying to demonstrate how to use different features of Windows or Apple products.
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect's pricing is VERY competitive, and, in my opinion, their customer service is MUCH better than Zoom's. Easy to understand their tech support agents' English, and most of their support folks are VERY well trained. You don't typically have to go into "Tier2" or …
Chose GoTo Connect
Avaya IP office was for us a complicated and inflexible on-prem solution. It could be made to do a great many things similar to GoTo, however it was not flexible and scalable in the same way as GoTo, which is to be expected of a cloud solution. In particular, as we aimed to …
Chose GoTo Connect
I think Resolve is easy to navigate and features are constantly being added. It is also very affordable. Easy setup and installation on endpoints with the ability to look at the system without remoting in to pull information. You can easily see where there a security gaps and …
Chose GoTo Connect
It was a touch cheaper, but Goto seemed to provide better value, better support, and seemed easier from a user perspective.
Chose GoTo Connect
I gave RingCentral a chance and nearly switched, but, in my opinion, their platform was terrible and their customer service worse. I understood how they were able to offer such a cheap price. They also claimed they could switch us over seamlessly, but I doubt it highly.
Chose GoTo Connect
The faxes all come to an app that we can download and print the faxes. We have been using RingCentral before we switched to GoTo. We still have RingCentral because it is easy to download and see faxes in their app. I do find having faxes emailed is easy, but not everyone has …
Chose GoTo Connect
We went with GoTo Connect because Mitel was removing its offering of on -premises PBX and forcing users to switch to their cloud offerings. This did not sit well with us which had us looking for alternatives. We met with many vendors and GoTo was the one that made the best …
Chose GoTo Connect
User friendly PBX interface. The above products have a more complex and less intuitive interface design. Pricing is also a big factor, as other products can cost more compared with what GoTo offers. In addition, the access to customer support and the quality of support …
Chose GoTo Connect
We looked at several leading phone systems, ultimately choosing GoTo Connect for functionality we thought met our needs. We ultimately thought the reception console was the best one we saw and the admin screens seemed easy to navigate. In addition, their pricing was so …
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo has been a far superior system to both Avaya and Mitel - from available features to ease of administartion.
Chose GoTo Connect
I would say rank GoTo in this order from my list above

Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect did not have the same functionality of Teams. Teams has better Meeting rooms
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect is ranked at the top of the market options. Surely the best option for small and medium size companies accross the Americas region
Chose GoTo Connect
I’d recommend GoTo Connect, if you’re looking for a reliable, all-in-one communication tool. It’s user-friendly, comes with great support, and works well for teams of all sizes.
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect serves the needs of medium-sized organizations like ours better than MS Teams. Its User Interface and call connectivity feel better than that of MS Teams. GoTo Connect was a better fit for our specific business needs, offering the right combination of telephony …
Chose GoTo Connect
GoTo Connect came from an old system called Jive. The online PBX is one of the best I have used due to is ease of setup and configuration. GoTo Connect is a setup above the rest in this aspect.
Chose GoTo Connect
Everything we need is in one system and have no connection issues and easy to access through phone and computer
Chose GoTo Connect
I just discovered the GoTo Connect here in my current company, I have been using other platform before, but this app is just right for me and in my remote set up job. Since then, I never used other platform since it has features that I really like, such as recordings, …
Chose GoTo Connect
We prefer GoTo to TeamViewer. Teamviewer had a good recording feature, but that was the only advantage.
Zoho Meeting
Chose Zoho Meeting
Zoom focuses on video webinars, meetings, chat options, integration, and high-definition video conferencing, whereas Microsoft Teams focuses on Microsoft integrations that include real-time video chat. Both Google Meet and Zoho Meeting offer various features, including HD video …
Chose Zoho Meeting
Zoho Meeting is very affordable and it suits better for the small business like ours. In addition to these, it offers the same features Microsoft Teams does. It has better adaptability compared to teams both in desktop and mobile applications. Moreover, it ensures data security …
Chose Zoho Meeting
Well, my organization gave my entire team access to Zoho Meeting post the reported security issues with Zoom. Once I started using this platform, I realized that it is way more agile and works the best as compared to all of its competitors. Other Zoho products like CRM, Home …
Chose Zoho Meeting
I have used Skype for business as well and I think Skype is far better than Zoho Meeting. The problem with Skype is it requires very high bandwidth to use as compared to Zoho Meeting.
Chose Zoho Meeting
Zoho Meeting serves the exact purposes stated by Zoho Team. It doesn't use any 3rd party applications for giving the services. It doesn't use the customers data for commercial purpose which by means ensures more data security. It can be used in web which doesn't require any …
Chose Zoho Meeting
Microsoft Teams specializes in complete Microsoft integrations, HD video conferencing, screen and file sharing, instant messaging, group chat options, live chat options. Zoom specializes in video webinars, meetings, chat options, integration, HD video conferencing. Google meet …
Chose Zoho Meeting
• The IT department decided to change the service that we had previously because Zoho Meeting is much more complete and has several services that we are also using such as Zoho Mail and Zoho CRM. We prefer to use them all from the same service provider.
Chose Zoho Meeting
I think Zoho Meeting is lacking so many features when compared with other products. Most importantly they have to work on audio video quality and increasing room capacity. If we compare this with Zoom, they offers meetings up to 100 participants with their free package …
Chose Zoho Meeting
Went with Zoho based on prior experience.
Chose Zoho Meeting
Zoom is a better option if you're willing to pay. However, if you already have Zoho One, Meeting is still a solid choice. They're constantly working on the app and updating features, so any problems with Meeting will likely be addressed sooner rather than later. For now, Zoom …

GoTo ConnectZoho Meeting
Likelihood to Recommend
I would give it a 10 out of 10 rating just because of the service and easiness it has offered us, which made our work effortless and stress-free. I do recall an instance where one of our clients' medical conditions suddenly deteriorated while he was traveling overseas. The doctors there could not understand his situation at that time. He asked them to connect with our team, and our team guided them with his medical records, and his life was saved

I would definitely like to say that for a team lead who sends pie charts, surveys and questions to the teams, this software would be his best choice as the analytics of this all data by Zoho Meeting is one of the best in the market. The only downside of Zoho Meeting is its webinar pricing which could be a bit tough to pay for NGO's or less earning companies.

Pros
  • GoTo Connect is a much more cost-effective solution rather than separate phone lines and video conferencing tools.
  • I conduct daily team meetings and project brainstorming sessions using video conferencing using GoTo Connect.
  • It integrates smoothly with our regularly used tools like Google Drive and has become very easy to share the documents we use.
Read full review
  • Very very simple to use
  • Audio quality is very much clear
  • We have the recording facility with this tool, so we can record the meeting or webinar for the future purpose
  • We get the upcoming meeting and past meeting in the home page so we have less chance to miss any meeting.
  • we can share the screen and can give the control to others as well.

Cons
  • Making a dedicated button for "mute all" (other than yourself) for when someone "walks off before they mute"/has to quickly leave their computer....and FORGOT to Mute. Particularly when dogs are barking when someone working from home has a visitor at the door
  • I'd like to see some of the functionality from GoTo Webinar enabled for GoTo Connect: see who's "actively watching" vs has their computer screen on another application
Read full review
  • One of the negative aspects of this service is that there is no user or meeting management when you are in one videoconference.
  • Another negative aspect of Zoho Meeting is that the chat and messaging option does not exist in the middle of a webinar or video conference.

They are knocking it out of the park on all fronts. I love the service and support I am receiving and have no complaints. If they raised their prices substantially I would reconsider but I don't think that will happen anytime soon. They would have to mess up something consistently moving forward to make me want to move

Usability
Overall, it's a decent product for the price. It has the basic features our company needed when it was brand new and was not overly difficult to set up. As we've grown, it's become increasingly difficult to build out the features we want to implement within the PBX, and customer support can be less than helpful. Many of the more advanced features (dial plans, queues, etc.) take a lot of research to understand how to implement. Some of the features we paid for weren't even available when we were attempting to set them up.

Zoho Meeting is very easy to use and very effective collaborating tool. If I say about the usability, this application is highly usable because oaf it's cost effective nature, user friendly interface, empathetic customer services and amazing application features. Most importantly, it ensures data security for the company. Overall, the usability of the application is trustworthy.

Reliability and Availability
I have never experienced or heard of unplanned outages when it comes to GoTo Connect. Most of the time the unplanned outage is always local power at a site or internet service provider having an unplanned outage. GoTo's service has never failed any of our orgs yet that I know of.

Performance
There is no lag in phone calls. There is no background noise or static/fuzz. Calls are crystal clear. With other dialers and phone systems, I have experienced delays between dialogue or delays with the caller picking up the phone and then being able to hear you. We do not experience this with Go To Connect.

Support Rating
Support used to be great when it was Jive support out of Utah. Now that they've offshored support it can be difficult to get a response. Our most common issues are least cost routing, and we run into support pushing back in stead of just figuring out which upstream carrier is having an issue like they used to. We often have to get our account manager involved, who is pretty strong.

Zoho Meeting is fantastic in terms of proper after sale service as well as delivering the expectations of the clients. We, as a business, successfully achieved the engaging organisation status through this platform. Our employees are also happy with the supports from Zoho. We appreciate the efforts of Zoho and recommend to others.

Online Training
The training videos could be more in-depth. This would help our user base so that they can feel impowered to look up information that they need without having to ask our admins every time they have a question about the system. Online training videos are also inferior to an actual person explaining systems.

Implementation Rating
The biggest challenge from implementation was deconstructing the mess that was our old system's config. After doing so, I believe there were primarily some methods that have worked better in the long run to implement up front, such as separating menus into separate dial plans for simpler updates, routing/re-routing.

I have nothing personal against Broadvoice and found their team pleasant to work with. The greatest difference has been the administrative portals. Where Broadvoice was confusing and I still hadn't really been able to figure it out over a period of years past some basic functions, I still had to call to get support just to provision or update phones. With GoTo, I had a functional understanding within a week and a couple years in, it is smooth sailing and no angst when needing to update or troubleshoot an issue and I have access to everything without a phone call. It is true freedom to meet my company's needs.

Zoom focuses on video webinars, meetings, chat options, integration, and high-definition video conferencing, whereas Microsoft Teams focuses on Microsoft integrations that include real-time video chat. Both Google Meet and Zoho Meeting offer various features, including HD video conferencing, scheduling, recording, app sharing, and HD videoconferencing in private meeting rooms. In addition to the unique characteristics of Zoho's UI, embedding meeting links, and so forth, these are excellent features that help the end-user tremendously.

Scalability
Its not readily apparent to me, other than cost, where you would run into any issues with larger scale deployments. When we went live on the product, the Jive team was always willing to do mass updates for us on our extensions, users, etc. in the system, so we didn't have to do too much manual one-by-one updates.

Return on Investment
  • We stopped losing calls due to poor routing or not being able to make them.
  • It has helped us to be able to answer calls at any time or place, even outside of company hours.
  • We have the possibility to access these conversations from our CRM system.

  • Zoho Meeting helped us save money because of their low cost packages.
  • Unfortunately because of their bad video quality we had to look for other options.
  • Some clients were not familiar with Zoho Meeting because of the less popularity so we had to use other meeting applications to organize meetings
