We use TurboMeeting from RHUB which has jumped to 4th in these rankings thanks to adding several new features. I think when RHUB adds VoIP late 2010, the may even be top ranked. RHUB guarantees attendance by attending in the browser without an install for all platforms like iPads, iPhones and Windows Mobile via Skyfire. TurboMeeting is very powerful and easy to use meeting software.

Each has its own limitation. For now I use TeamViewer for quick impromptu meeting with my distributed team.

I used to use Yugma - but it has always led to frustrated end users. Further, from time to time they have network slowdowns, too many updates, etc. I gave them a try several times. Till it hurt one of our potential sale - due to constant freezing and connection drops.

I think for more important meetings, I just would stick with and recommend GoToMeeting/WebEx.

[...] With the price of gas as it is, and time always being at a premium, the idea of online meetings is gaining in popularity… “I’m a big fan of online meeting and collaboration tools. Among other things, they’ve saved me from some of the many flights and hotels that I used to have to put up with. I found this comparison of online meeting tools interesting.” Source: WebWorkerDaily » Archive Online Meeting App Study: GoToMeeting Tops Yugma? « [...]

I just got off the phone with Yugma and I am APPALLED at the attitude I just received from the person on the line. I signed up for Yugma free about a year ago, tried it several times and didn’t have good luck – people couldn’t log in, had problems with the downloads, all kinds of things. So I switched back to GoToMeeting. I heard that Yugma had a 20 person option for their full webinar software and decided to try it. I “upgraded” my account to the Yugma Pro 20 with the Webinar option and they charged me $34.90 for both services. That was on 9/2/09 — I set up the webinar and it was HORRIBLE. Most of the people that tried to login couldn’t get past the “Download” button on the webinar page. I was very frustrated but tried again and sent out “instructions” to everyone that I took the time to create to hopefully keep that from happening again and it was still a mess. So I let the person know just now that I was frustrated and wanted to cancel. I only used the system for 6 days so I asked about a refund. His reply to me was that NO refunds are given and that I agreed to the terms and conditions of their service. I asked why he didn’t have a free trial and he said there is one but that I would have had to create another login to get that, and that I should have done that. I told him I didn’t know that was possible and that when I called to upgrade I wasn’t given that option. His comment to me was that he was sorry but there would be no refund. I told him I was going to tell my story on the internet and his answer to that was, “Go ahead – that’s your right to say negative things.” CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT ATTITUDE??? Totally blows my mind. Oh well, they just lost a customer for life – even if they fix the challenges with the system I would NEVER use this service again – they could have at least credited me part of the fee. His attitude was arrogant and unwavering – absolutely no empathy for me having a bad experience at all.

GoToMeeting – here I come again and I won’t be leaving for Yugma ever again.

After last week's update, our web conferencing portal now includes a test of Dimdim. Dimdim 4.5 Free rates highly when it comes to compatibility with operating systems, and ease of use. But free software comes at a price, since users have to do without some key functionality. As a result, the solution is restricted to very specific scenarios. webconferencing-test.com looks at the tasks Dimdim is suited for - and examines its limitations. For details, visit webconferencing-test.com

I just wanted to chime in with regard to hemmeter’s statement about Yugma and Java. While it is true that right now we require at least Java 1.5, we will soon be releasing an installer with a bundled JVM so no more java installations are required, and we won’t disturb current Java versions.

In addition we are evaluating Java’s new “kernel” based installation method which installs the basic Java kernel and downloads all other required components in the background. This will significantly reduce the download size for our installer and make it even easier to install and get started.

Samuel: Great article, glad to see we are being used and enjoyed, it was quite a thrill to see we were ranked #3, but of course we want to be #1! :)

FYI to all the Yugma users out there, we are listening, we hear you, and we’re actively taking your suggestions to heart to constantly improve our offering!

Thanks all!
