	GoTo Meeting	Join.me (discontinued)
Considered Both Products	GoTo (formerly LogMeIn) Rohitash Sinha Product Support Manager in Customer Service at RapidOps, Inc. (Information Technology & Services, 201-500 employees) Chose GoTo Meeting We are using Three Products currently, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and GoTo Meeting. The reason for using the three products is based on end-user competence and choice. Since we use MS365, it makes sense to use Teams for internal communication, we have let go of Join.me as it was not … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose GoTo Meeting I would have switched to Join.me, but I didn't have time to learn the format.

Marcus Torres Senior Client Success Manager in Customer Service at Bloomfire (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose GoTo Meeting There are no comparisons between these competitors and GoToMeeting. Zoom is close, but is not nearly as easy to use and the interface is lacking, when it comes to look and feel. For a presenter, GoToMeeting really allows the user to feel in complete control of a meeting, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose GoTo Meeting It stacks up well. It is just as good or better than the others in the field. It is a leader, and perhaps has the most name recognition in the industry. I am a big fan of GoToMeeting and it is very reliable and secure for the most sensitive, highest level meetings. Incentivized Helpful? Alvin Fayman Data Business Unit Manager in Marketing at Nurture Marketing (Marketing & Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose GoTo Meeting GoToMeeting is a user-friendly platform suitable for small team conferences or webinars with numerous attendees. Most participants are familiar with its features; newcomers easily manage the learning curve. Incentivized Helpful?

Brian Sossamon Director of Technology in Information Technology at Austin Trinity Episcopal School (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose GoTo Meeting Zoom and GoToMeeting are very similar in product but GoToMeeting's history and reliability are the main reasons for us purchasing. Incentivized Helpful? Sarah Ford Customer Success Coach in Customer Service at Kareo (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose GoTo Meeting We have also used Join.me and Clearslide. Join.me is okay for screen share, but is like moving in jello for passing control. Clearslide was actually very easy to use for screen share and control share, although it was constantly asking for Java updates. Helpful? Zack Parnell Vice President & Chief Operating Officer in Corporate at Industrial Training International, Inc. (Education Management, 11-50 employees) Chose GoTo Meeting ITI has considered join.me as an alternative to GTM. Join.me did not have the full functionality like GTM and we could not record and download meetings for future reference. The one benefit of join.me was that it did not require attendees to download any software on their end … Helpful?	Discontinued Products Samarah Sardoni Lead Project Manager in Marketing at EKR (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) Join.me is by far the more affordable option but is definitely inferior to Zoom, Google Hangouts, and GoToMeeting. Zoom will give you manuscripts from your call, Google Hangouts (or Meets) allows anyone to screen share easily, and GoToMeeting is the happy medium between Zoom … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Join.me (discontinued) I choose Join.me over Zoom and GoToMeeting for two reasons: Join.me is way less than GoToMeeting Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Join.me (discontinued) Join.me is something I've always used alongside GoToMeeting and Slack. I find that Join.me is easiest in setting up an impromptu meeting when needing to collaborate with team members. Incentivized Helpful? Will Paccione Owner in Corporate at Dot Xero (Marketing and Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) I used Join.me, as I believe I found a coupon for it when I originally started so it wasn't too expensive. I know I compared it to GoToMeeting and it was less expensive than that. I also believe you get more for your dollar with Join.me when comparing the feature list. I think … Incentivized Helpful? Chris Whisonant Lead Consultant in Professional Services at Best Methods (Information Technology and Services, 1-10 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) Overall, it is generally more simple for users to start their own sessions with join.me than the other solutions. This is the primary reason we tend to use join.me over the others. However, we tend to use GoToMeeting when we are doing presentations or conference calls. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Join.me (discontinued) We have tried a number of online meeting platforms since 2010 when we first commenced our online and international programs. Although Join.Me was a mainstay for us at first--affordable, safe, and great way to provide remote access that other platforms failed to provide--now we … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Join.me (discontinued) We used Join.me as our web conferencing tool before switching over to Google Meet. Using the Google suite of products made Google Meet the easier choice. Incentivized Helpful? Maximus Mednick Lead Solution Instructor in Professional Services at Riverbed Technology (Computer Networking, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) It's faster, cheaper, and it just works. As I said, I don't have to think about it. Incentivized Helpful? McKay Salisbury Founder/CEO in Marketing at Five Star Commerce (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) The other options are fine, but they all require someone to download a plugin in order to join the meeting. I want them to be able to be talking with me through audio as quickly and easily as possible which is why Join.me is the only option. Incentivized Helpful? Mark Malone Sales Manager in Sales at Custom Pine Straw Inc (Paper & Forest Products, 51-200 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) Join.me seems to work seamlessly throughout our various locations. Although we have used the others in the past, and still on occasion dependent upon the situation, we have found that Join.me suits our needs the best at this time. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Join.me (discontinued) Join.me beats its competitors on pricing, but beyond that its competitors have a much richer feature set. Incentivized Helpful? Kaitlyn Wright Coordinator of Computer Science and Technology in Information Technology at Seeds of Health, Inc. (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) Join.me requires no software download by attendees. Incentivized Helpful? Lindsey Stevens Enterprise Account Executive in Sales at DoubleDutch (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) We ended up using Join.me by default when we learned that DocSend did not have audioconferencing built in. We use it via their integration and the experience has not been great. On it's own I'm guessing it works a lot better. Over all the other audio conferencing solutions I've … Incentivized Helpful? Gil Lopez CTS ING Integrated Technology Architect in Engineering at TEECOM (Design, 51-200 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) Similar offerings. Join.me was selected due to easy, consistent management. Quickly embraced by our teams, uses the hardware already in place.

Micah Jones Chief Information Officer in Corporate at Phoenix Ortho (Computer Software, 11-50 employees) Chose Join.me (discontinued) Honestly most of these are about the same in terms of functionality. Join.me has a competitive price but is not necessarily the cheapest. We selected it to consolidate things internally. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Join.me (discontinued) For quick, simple, and sporadic meetings it is great. Low barrier to entry. Super easy to use, especially when you are on a bind and need to act fast.
