Robust Webex alternatives?

December 22, 2008 6:53 AM

Best, price-competitive alternatives to Webex that include attendee scheduling and reminders?

I'm looking for a solid, easy to use alternative to Webex, but I need some advanced features like a way to show attendees different scheduled times/dates for webinars; a way for them to signup, email reminders 2 days before the webinar and the day of the webinar; and then a way to send attendees a link to a survey after the webinar is over.

I know there are nice free services out there like Yugma, but I'm not aware of any that offer these kinds of additional features.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

gotomeeting.com - I use it for software demos 3-5 times per week. Much more user friendly than WebEx IMNO.

IMNO? Doh! Make that IMHO.

DimDim. Silly name, but it has worked fine thus far... and the price is right.

I never used the features you described, but I used GotoMeeting a few times a week for almost two years and it was absolutely rock-solid. Performance was excellent, it worked over NAT and firewalls without a problem was easy to connect to for customers. The price was also very good for what I was doing (tech support via remote control).

Zoho Meetings? I tested it in beta and it worked ok.
