Fuze looks interesting and having checked with them, their licensing isn't concurrent but you can have "pool" accounts vs. named individual.
I've not yet checked with them but as you use them you may be able to comment first-hand - their website suggests that quite a raft of outbound ports are needed if you want to use VOIP/Video, not just 80/443? Also what's the score with any admin rights needed to use it? Obviously that's a no-no with a lot of large corporations. I've been having a brief look at a Webex trial we got today and I have to admit I'm reasonably impressed so far. From: Jim Holmgren [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 13 July 2011 12:46 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Web Conferencing/Online Meetings We use Lync for internal meetings and IMs, but have recently started using Fuze (www.fuzemeeting.com<http://www.fuzemeeting.com>) for our external meetings. Cost is roughly the same as the 'big players', and it is Flash-based so there are fewer "I can't download the plug in" complaints. The big advantage for us was on the web conference - Fuze allows up to 100 attendees, everyone else was capped at 25. We have a daily Ops call that usually has 30-40 attendees and too many people were being 'shut out' of GoToMeeting.

Works quite nicely for any standard web meeting I have needed to run. I still have LiveMeeting, but, IMO Live Meeting's UI is about as user friendly as Lotus Notes so I've been much happier with Lync.

Obviously the big players are WebEx and GoToMeeting, just curious which, if any, smaller/niche players any of you are using and how you've found them?
