Pros: This is one of the best online meeting tools available for small business at a low cost. It has everything you need to have a successful web meeting that is easy to use. I especially like the fact that you can use a live web cam.
Cons: Minor performance drag, guests pay for any toll charges for audio by phone.
Hint: Use Intercall Reservationless Plus for audio with Adobe Connect.
