They have flexible licenses. For example, if you need to host a large meeting today, you could scale your licenses to 100 people. When you finish, you could switch back to 1.

Banckle Online Meeting is another perfect DimDim alternative and offers the same set of web and video conferencing, webinars and documents + screen sharing features. Users can evaluate it for 1 complete year without paying a single penny. You should also read this feature comparison between Banckle Online Meeting and other web conferencing tools to have a head-to head features analysis in one shot.

The more cheaper is get one AMI in Amazon of BigBlueButton from the user “gineta” in chamilo forums
http://chamilo.org/en/forum you get your own server in amazon in 5 minutes not shares not networks problems

Well, all of the mentioned web-meeting tools is good and worth its money. However, you may not be looking for that functional complexity that they offer; you may just need to share some JPEG pictures and PowerPoint presentation while holding a conference call. In my opinion, DOXWOX (http://doxwox.com) solves that problem perfectly. And it is free.

Having used both DimDim and Webex, my opinion is that Webex is superior. The video is better and, more importantly, the audio is much better than DD. We’ve used DD for the past year and people are always complaining of choppy sound, sound cutting in and out, poor quality,etc.
When we first tried Webex one of the main feedback comments was that the sound/audio was so much better.

We’ve not tried GotoMeeting, but IF the user’s comment above is accurate (that it does NOT provide video) then it lacks a huge component and is not, as the article’s author states, “providing all the features at a comparatively lower price.”

No change…almost anyone except GoToMeeting – GoToWebinar (same company) will work with any operating system:
* dimdim
* webex
* fuzemeeting
* yugma
* bigbluebutton
* MegaMeeting

DimDim is a very safe choice, both for interoperability & price.
Yugma looks interesting too, but I’ve never personally used it.

I would like to know if this is still the case. I am currently deciding between Dimdim and Gotomeeting. The money is important but not as much as the functioning of the product. Any insight would be appreciated.

GoToMeeting is absolutely worthless here: They *intentionally* refuse to work on Linux, Unix, Solaris, BSD or any other non-win, non-mac systems. They don’t even check to see if you have the required components, they simply kick users out as soon as they detect another operating system. There is not faster way to offend prospects!

I go with remote control software from Proxy Networks, personally. I find real value in recording our conferences and presentations, and Proxy’s product allows us to do that. I am not sure if these other products offer this, but I have found a really quality solution with PN.

GoToMeeting/GoToWebinar doesn’t have any video output compared to WebEx or DimDim.

For Web Conferencing, I think it is quite important.
