- 3. Fuze is a simple-to-use, web-based system. There’s nothing to download. And it works on most any computer and browser and on many mobile devices. GoToMeeting and WebEx, in comparison, usually have applications to download, which takes more effort to set up. It looks and feels cool. Fuze Meeting has an attractive layout and a nice iPad app that lets participants join a meeting from poolside if they wish. Users can share what’s on their screens and will enjoy nifty tools like digital yellow sticky notes that anyone can put precisely where they should go on a report, a graphic or a schematic. The cool factor is high. Over time, it can save you cash. Fuze Meeting costs $29 per month for up to 25 attendees and 2 gigabyte of storage. If you want to let folks call in using your toll-free number, that’s another 6 cents per minute per person. But the tool also supports the voice-over-Internet software application Skype, which can reduce these per-minute charges. WebEx and GoToMeeting, by comparison, each cost about $50 per month for a similar product, and per-minute fees for toll-free number access boost the cost further. $29/month; $279/year (which equals $23.25/month); Pay as you go $.19/min/per web attendee and $.06/min/per audio attendee. https://www.fuze.com/

- 5. Citrix's web conferencing service is optimized for businesses with clients or satellite offices in multiple nations. You can change the control settings to other languages, and its website ties into Google translate. Even more, if you have a toll-free option in your plan, you can select toll-free numbers for specific countries when you set up the meeting. That way, participants in other nations can call in free of charge. It has data centers worldwide to ensure high-quality communication.The interface is different from the other web conferencing services we reviewed. Rather than taking you directly to a meeting in your browser, the meetings open up as a new window on your screen with the controls separate from the window. Participants need the meeting ID code to enter, and if they enter by phone, they need an audio PIN. Most other services don't require an ID code or PIN.With this online meeting service, you can hold meetings using traditional toll or toll-free networks, call-in and call-out services, and VoIP http://www.gotomeeting.in
- 6. DimDim was founded in 2006, and blazed it’s way through release after release before being acquired by SalesForce.com in early 2011. They had been criticized by some for being too quick to release versions without proper testing. DimDim released both an open source version and cloud based version of their software. They would later abandon the open source version to explore further development of the cloud based product line. No software to download or install (uses Flash) free version for up to 10 participants with no ad’s same features available on Mac as PC embeddable meeting widgets. Linux supported Free-Upto 20 attendees http://dimdim.en.softonic.com/web-apps
- 7. WebEx is the oldest, best-known popular web-conferencing solution on the market. You might assume that years of market dominance would have tempted Cisco to rest on its laurels, but not so. Cisco WebEx Meeting Center ($49/month or $468/year) offers quite possibly the crispest interface on the market with performance that makes youngsters like iMeet ($69/month, 2 stars) look flabby. Thanks to substantial investments in its infrastructure (sixteen data centers and iPoPs), WebEx shares screens, videos, and up six videoconferencing feeds without flinching—or asking customers to install browser add-ons, plugins, or applications. Add an affordable price-point, abundant ancillary services, and generous mobile support (including hosting from iPhones and iPads), and it's no wonder WebEx has sealed its position as market leader. Monthly plan – $69/month; Annual plan – $708/year (which equals $59/month and includes 1 host – price varies per number of meeting hthtops:t/s/ wyowu wne.ewde).bex.com/
