Video sharing
Internal webinars

Recording functionality is not always dependable

Return on Investment

Saves a ton of money by allowing productive distance learning with virtual training sessions

Alternatives Considered

ON24

WebEx Event Center is much easier to use than Livemeeting. ON24 does not allow for 2-way audio with the audience. WebEx allows more productive training sessions because you can solicit feedback from your audience via a conference bridge. It allows for better attendee participation, which facilitates learning

Other Software Used

ON24, Microsoft Project, Camtasia, BlueJeans, Jive

Likelihood to Recommend

WebEx excels at training events. For example, training attendees on how to use particular software. The screen sharing is extremely helpful in demonstrating functionality to the audience. It also integrates very well with the conference bridge which allows immediate feedback and participation with the audience.

A GREAT solution for virtual training sessions
