It's a cold Friday morning here in Chicago. As I looked at my overhead console the temperature read -2 degrees F. But here in Chicago, we have a lot to look forward to this weekend, on Sunday in particular.
First, let's take a look at a rundown of features between dimdim and QuickVisuals. For those of you following the GAN Conference blog, you know that dimdim was recently acquired by Salesforce. They are planning on integrating dimdim's technology into their CRM, so anyone who currently uses dimdim has until March 15th to find another solution. To those who were thinking about getting a dimdim account, they are no longer accepting orders.
That said, Great America Networks Conferencing offers a great solution to dimdim users. It is a very similar product in how it works, the feature set, and even how it is laid out (see previous blog article for a side by side picture). When it comes to pricing, we are offering a light version for one on one meetings that can last up to 60 minute for free here www.quickvisuals.net. For pro users, we are offering our 100 seat license for a comparable $25 a month or $250 for the year. Enterprise customers are not left out either - we will do our best to save you at least 20% off of your current enterprise package. Let's take a look at the features.
