Conferencing Features:  

With no download required, hosts can quickly initiate meetings, with users joining through email messages or direct links. MegaMeeting lets each user set up a unique DNS setup, such as “yourcompany.megameeting.com,” making secure URLs easier to remember while lending an air of professionalism to prospective clients and audience attendees.

Presentation/Demonstration Features:  

Meetings can be attended by up to 16 individuals. There, integrated multi-point video conferences and whiteboard sessions can be conducted, screens shared, applications shared and demonstrated and materials presented with full PowerPoint compatibility and flexible audio, video and chat tools available for real-time user feedback.

Audio/Video Features:  

MegaMeeting’s greatest strengths rest in its audio and video features. Users can use a variety of telephony modes and video technologies to join in, all without having to download a program, install an application or reconfigure browser and platforms. Since MegaMeeting is entirely browser-based, recording meetings requires additional plug-ins, many of which have limited proficiency in doing so.
One standout feature of MegaMeeting’s professional suite is its complimentary integrated toll conference calling, greatly simplifying the oftentimes confusing and time-consuming task of going through affiliate companies to set up traditional telephone conferences.
 

Security Features:  

Though web conferencing programs entirely browser-based are more convenient and easy to use, they are by no means safe from outside threat. Fortunately, MegaMeeting’s program is based upon Adbobe’s Flash technology, which operates at the full 128-bit AES encryption and doesn’t collect information from users’ computers, such as personal or financial data which might reside there.

Also, Adobe Flash provides stronger protection against potential malware and malicious code by taking a “Sandbox Approach,” which uses in-place tools to maintain security measures, a problem that afflicts ActiveX and JavaScript.
 

Help/Support:  

MegaMeeting offers 24/7 technical support for its Professional licensees, supplementing direct technical assistance with an online product manual, an intra “MegaWiki” site which delivers more precise results than traditional FAQ pages and knowledgebases and a contact portal that includes both telephone and email contact information.

MegaMeeting makes a strong argument for itself with its easy-to-use and customizable tools and features, which range from fully-integrated multi-point video display and fully duplexed telephony to the interface “skin” itself, which can be customized to include company logos etc. With tight security and fair help and support resources, MegaMeeting’s appeal is lost only in its pricing model, which requires the purchase of “seats” for all hosts and attendees and its limited billing options.

For flat-rate, up-front pricing, users might look to GoToMeeting, which sets a standard for simple, transparent pricing.
