Cisco Business Edition 7000 vs ClickMeeting

Likelihood to Recommend

Its well suited for small to medium scale deployments if the infra is in-house. Webex and other SaaS solutions are in demand these days and are cost-effective too, but if for some reason your deployments need a locally-managed data center, then go for the BE7K or the BE6K depending upon your requirement.

Launching and executing a webinar is easy and takes literally five seconds. The entire user experience is virtually seamless, with a platform that's loaded with detailed statistics. You even have access to live online support that will assist you instantly (from your webinar room).

Professional Live Interface - One of the reasons we chose ClickMeeting was how professional it looked from the viewer's experience. Our client is very small, but the interface makes them look like a top-notch firm to viewers.
Customization - Our client didn't have to forego their brand for a service, they were able to make it work for them. Also ties in with my point above.
Easy Event Creation - Takes no time at all to plan/schedule an event or meeting.

Cons

Licensing should be easy and collaborative.
Management interface should be provided with redundancy.
I've came across difficulties while I installed Windows server on BE6K. It's hard to gather Windows server keys.

As with most new software, ClickMeeting did create a learning curve for many of the employees - thus training was necessary.
Our company is contracted by the Federal Government, thus a lot of our information needs to be kept private. Some of our high-level management have noticed that ClickMeeting only provides 128-bit AES encryption, which we feel can be improved upon.
Some of our remote users have found that ClickMeeting has some lag-time when using it on their android devices.

Alternatives Considered

I’m a user of both systems and it’s difficult to say whether one is better than the other for features. Cisco is much more user friendly and has a better interface. I think both are suitable for large businesses, but it’s more about preference of the front end. Security features may be lagging with Skype.

Vimeo is the closest competitor to our organization. Vimeo hosts our online video library and luckily, it communicates with ClickMeeting well. If the demand for live webinars no longer existed, Vimeo would be next in line. However, at this time ClickMeeting remains our #1 due to integration, ease of access and design.

It was an affordable software for what it delivered. We would have kept using it if the webinars had worked to drive business, or if we'd been able to drive more people to the webinars. Not ClickMeeting's fault. Great return on the investment in my mind.
