The website gives a detailed description of each program on a number of areas. Of the top five programs GoToMeeting and WebEx offer the most features and functions. In terms of license details, WebEx, however, allows for up to 25 people on a single lincense, while GoToMeeting allow up to 15 people. For a large company WebEx would be the best choice.

WebEx offers several different packages, but it also has a large user based. According to Web Conferencing Comparison (2011), “more than 7 million people use Cisco's WebEx products every month to communicate and collaborate online”. Some of the company’s clients, colleagues, customers, and partners may already be using WebEx.
