This product has come along since its inception. It is now a viable alternative to a basic Zoom meeting experience. It does have a ways to go to be the decidedly chosen platform. But for FREE, it can NOT be beat! A start-up entrepreneurial dream.
Pros
It is inexpensive and easily able to access for scheduling and changing meetings.
Cons
The user experience is lacking other similar products--especially in the conferencing/webinar arena.

MeetFoxReasons for Choosing Google Meet
Mainly the cost. Free does not allow for much of a meeting with its time constraints at 40 mins or so. (There are work arounds, but why bother when you can use Google Meets?)Switched From

I actually do have MeetFox. This is great because it offers video of meetings and I purchased it from a LTD marketplace. The user experience with MeetFox is relatively unreliable and phoning in is not an option so it is not our 'go to' product.- Industry: Education Management
