WebEx Meeting Center review

Tuesday 25 October 2005, 7:52 AM

Too expensive and lacks features


I compared the new WebEx version recently released with Webconference.com's new multiplatform release. Webex new version is finally user friendly. Good job! However, their product lacks the standard features found in more robust services. For example, you can't stream movies. You can't have 10 simultaneous video streams. You can't brand the room with you logo. The desktop sharing feature is too slow. Additionally, Webex charges you an arm and a leg for their service. Webconference.com on the other hand comes standard with movie streaming, 10 simultaneous video streams and branding. Webconference.com is also very affordable. However, webconference.com scheduling interface is still the same old 3 year old interface with no improvements. It's time that they revamp the scheduling tool. It's outdated. I hope this helps.

Verdict

Although it's difficult to master, WebEx Meeting Center's slick conferencing tools are an effective alternative to face-to-face conferences.

Review Although it's missing some features (chiefly HSDPA and GPS), Nokia's E63 is a well-thought-out, ergonomic and affordable smartphone.
