organizations. The following table compares the web conferencing
solutions from RHUB, WebEx and Citrix.
RHUB: the leading provider for multi-function web conferencing
appliance
WebEx: the leading provider for hosted web conferencing

Comparison of accumulated cost over time
* RHUB has not conducted any accurate tests for speed
comparison. The remarkable speed advantage for remote control is
based on our user feedbacks and may vary for different users.
You should do your tests based on your own Internet connection,
your monitor setting and the typical applications you are using
to determine the speed comparison.
RHUB TurboMeeting system architect is specifically designed for
fast interactive meetings (attendees can present) with less than 25 attendees, which
count for 99% meetings most users experience. Most leading
vendors design their systems for very large meetings and choose
to sacrifice the interactive speed for smaller meetings.
For a large meeting with over 25 attendees, it is impractical
to have all attendees present. You should use TurboMeeting's
view-only function to invite most attendees and then have only a few
attendees to join your meeting interactively as the meeting
panelists who can present. This hybrid mode of mixing view-only
attendees with interactive attendees for the best user
experience and performance is one of the unique functions of
RHUB TurboMeeting.
