Likes:

iPhone Application - This is one of the few web meeting platforms that offers an iPhone application. You can start or join a meeting in progress from your iphone. The iPhone application isn't as intuitive as the desktop (browser) version of FuzeMeeting.

Platform Support- Run online meetings from any browser that has the Flash plug-in enabled (version 10x). Your Linux and Mac friends will be able to host and join meetings without having to find a "work-around".

Fetch Feature - Easily bring new attendees into your onine meetings with FuzeMeeting's built-in "fetch" feature. Now you don't have to hang up, dial attendees and tell them to dial into the meeting. Use the Fetch feature and Fuze will dial them up and bring them into the meeting. Fuze will also import your contact list so you don't have to dial their number - just click their name.

HD Quality Screen Sharing - FuzeMeeting broadcasts screen sharing in high definition. You won't miss the a pixel.

Instant Messaging - FuzeMeeting has built-in "business class" instant messaging that makes it easy to chat with meeting attendees. You can also bring people from your AIM, Google, MSN, and Yahoo contact lists into the meeting.

Dislikes:

No Recording - When you use Fuze you better take good notes because there is no meeting recording features.

No Video Conferencing

No integrated VOIP - Online meeting services like GoToMeeting offer built-in VOIP, which can save you money on long distance. Fuze Meeting uses a third-party teleconference service, which means you'll have to pick up the phone for audio.

Bottom Line:

If you're looking for a simple online meeting service, with universal support, that's easy to use, we recommend Fuze Meeting.
