GatherPlace Review- Online Meeting Software Review 2009

Though GatherPlace is a desktop sharing software, which is not just for meeting but also for training, support and something etc. But we still think it can use for online meeting so we just list it into our watch list.

Compatible capacity

Gatherplace is very good at compatible capacity for different operation systems, including Vista and Apple Mac . There are lots of function for this application. First it is SAAS based solution so that you do not need to download any software and application. You just need to install a plug in to lauch. Even your devices are mobile devices, such as RIM, Iphone or PDA, you can also use the embedded browser to join or use the service. The new SureView HTML-based viewer for guests eliminates the need for any installed plug-in or stand-alone proprietary software. It is a huge issue with many other web conferencing providers, who scare session guests with either an automatic download, or they prevent guests from entering your session with a pop-up proclaiming they do not have the necessary components. Who needs delays and problematic downloads wasting your and your guests' valuable time? GatherPlace will help you achieve a strong comfort level with the reliability it provides.
