GoTo Room vs. Logitech Rally

It works really well in a one on one settings when teachers are coordinating with individual trainers or workshops. It can be helpful as well during a team setting Q&A for follow up training. However, it is a struggle to use in large group settings when one presenter is speaking to a large group of people for trainings.

Haven’t had a chance to need to connect with the service staff as we haven’t had to deal with any large issues beyond internet bandwidth restrictions. However, we feel like support would be very quick and efficient if we were to need it. The observations of setting up our doc cams and getting connected with workshop presenters has been smooth so far.

GoToRoom does a great job of video conferencing with multiple users, similar to Zoom, but has easier access to documents similar to Google Classroom or Google Hangouts. It’s a nice blend of these three pieces of software.

We have primarily stuck with Logitech products in the past however I have had the displeasure of using some Polycom equipment in the past. At the time, Polycom basically required all people joining the meetings to be utilizing the same systems. Logitech allows us to be hardware and software agnostic. There are multiple manufacturers providing equipment and Logitech Tap has first party support for Teams, Zoom, and others. Logitech Connect and Logitech GROUP do not have proper integration with Tap and require a user to bring their laptop along.

Incentivized
