We have been reviewing products recently and one area I would highlight is the differences in pricing when you get into the details.

Make sure you are clear on the number of callers, where they are coming from, if you wish to record (and where do you store the recordings), etc. Not every option is included......Caveat emptor as they say. Also; use the trials and run some tests.....

There are certainly a lot of options. The US Tech Soup has a great synopsis of 15 of the products. I believe it is a Webinar using ReadyTalk.

We have used gotomeeting for a while, but now switched to Webtrain. We get better pricing and a lot more features for our web conferencing dollars.

For those of you interested, Techsoup has some good resources if you want to learn more about Web conferencing tools.  Here are a few of these in particular:
 


Myself, I've taken part in a few webinars here on TechSoup.  They use ReadyTalk and I find it to be a pretty good platform.

Another tool/ option to consider is the appliance approach to conferencing. It's different because its not hosted online, you actually own the hardware so there are no monthly fees and what not. It also seems to be more secure. I did some research and the one i found the seems to be the most bang for your buck is a 4-in-1 appliance the has conferencing, webinars, remote support, and remote access. Seems to be a competitor of Webex, since they cover all 4 areas as well.
