WebEx - Coming in Second
Cisco WebEx conferencing tool is an overall effective web conferencing solution but lacks in a few areas. On the plus side it can be used through your WiFi supported Smartphone browser.
Pros:
-
Works on many platforms such as Mac, Windows, Linux, Solaris and UNIX
-
Uses 3G-enabled Smartphone browsers for web conferencing although the meeting is started on a computer
-
Allows participation of 25 people at a time
-
Enables sharing of documentation, presentations, drawings and applications
-
Enables live interaction in real-time that gets more work done in a short time
Cons:
- Not that user friendly when compared to GoToMeeting
- Meeting console takes a longer time to load thus reducing the cost efficiency
- Pretty Pricey
And The Winner is - GoToMeeting
Although features and pricing of both GoToMeeting and WebEx are almost similar, GoToMeeting certainly leads the way because of its ease-of-use and simple installation procedures. In fact there are very few users who have reported the need for some troubleshooting while setting up and using GoToMeeting. The same can't be said for WebEx.
The meeting console of GoToMeeting launches much faster and is safer as well as more reliable than WebEx, which is an added advantage. Non-technical users tend to prefer GoToMeeting to the other meeting solutions. But we suggest you see for yourself before buying.

nice
I also think GoToMeeting is a better choice.
gotomeeting does work on Linux!
We are
Webex is by far better than gotomeeting.
We tried them both. Webex is better in:
-Security
-User friendliness
-cross platform compatibility
And GoToMeeting is not cheaper. Ask for a quot and you will be surprised. If not webex then Adobe connect. GoToMeeting is out of the course.

We use both - Goto is fast, but WebEx seems more secure.
WebEx is better for the big meetings because you can brand your invites and registration - Goto is cheaper, but you cant do anything custom with it.
