It is actually free for commericial use as well. We tested it out along with some other products in our evaluation session. We found it to be to slow for our needs and it did not include some of the feature we needed. We also tested out LogMeIn Rescue. It was a good product and had a lot of bells and whistles. If I remember correctly it was just very expensive for a yearly subscription. We also looked at TeamViewer- which we liked as well but it was crazy expensive to add Smartphone support. What we found we really liked were self-hosted softwares. We tested Bomgar and loved the software but the price was outragous for a little IT compnay :)....sooooo finally we found a lesser known product, ScreenConnect. So far we've had no major issues with it and it has most of the feature our techs need. They keep rolling out new updates and we've made a couple suggestions for features that I think they are working on. I think most of the free products just set limitations on features available when using the non-commercial edition. I’ve heard of Mikigo for screen sharing and some remote access applications.

Webex and GoToMeeting are really cool but quite expensive while the only free one i tried was 321meet.com. Neat features, easy to use and very satisfying and no downloads. But I've also heard of Mikigo and that it's also free. Pretty much works like the 1 i'm previously using. So i will be trying this as well, and try to check it out. :) i’ve tried other web conferencing tools like Webex, GoToMeeting (w/c goes along with skype very well) and 321meet.

I really like this software because it is very similar to WebEx and performs all communications over standard HTTP and requires no additional configuration. I've been looking seemingly for ever to find a tool just like this and am very thankfull for your review. One question I have though is, How long will this be free? I hope it is not one of those, plant the seed and then charge when there is a large enough user base. If so, then I suppose there will be another freebie out there to take its place. Thanks again...
