Reliability and Performance - Blue Host utilizes the same dedicated private network that is used by WebEx's enterprise clients. The WebEx MediaTone Network was designed specifically for real-time web collaboration. This robust private network gives you superior performance, enterprise-grade security, and always-available "dial-tone" reliability for web meetings.
Security - WebEx is the only web meeting provider that has earned Web Trust and SAS70 certification. All meetings are encrypted over SSL to ensure security. WebEx Blue Host works through standard ports so you don't have to reconfigure your firewall to use it.
Integrated Audio - Each meeting gets a special meeting number to call into. Control audio from within the meeting to mute and unmute attendees.
Dislikes:
Mac Support - 95% of the world runs on windows, but Mac is back and is gaining marketshare. At the time of this review Mac users will be left out in the cold.
Recording Functions - Blue Host lacks built-in meeting recording functions, which is typical of web meeting applications in this price range. You can use third party tools like Camtasia to record your meetings.
Bottom Line:
If you have mission critical online meetings that demand the best reliability and performance Blue Host is the best option under $50/mo.
