I use both of them as part of my job and it is worth every penny. Interview appointments are the bottleneck; I had to wait 90 days to get an appointment at my local airport but there are shorter waits depending on where you are.

At the interview they will ask you why you want Global Entry plus a few routine questions and general conversation. They will also scan your passport and fingerprints and take your picture.

It has saved me many hours over the last couple of years. Well worth it.
