Cisco Business Edition 7000 vs Mikogo

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.

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.

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.

Mikogo has simple features and is easy to use. If you don't need lots of bells and whistles and just want to screen share or video conference on a small scale Mikogo works best.Join.me & TeamViewer are a bit confusing for the novice small business person.My experience with LogMeIn has been that it's sluggish.GoToMeeting works great but is pricey for the small firm that mainly does one-to-one support/training.I couldn't get Zoom to work right.

Zero positive impact
Spend just a little more with products like AnyDesk and get some real ROI
Short term, the product can be used on a trial basis (or at least it was available as a trial)
