As Sankalp noted, Skype's lack of free group chat and whiteboard function makes it quite limiting for study groups. Google Hangouts has some bandwidth issues for people calling in from poor networks. In addition to the alternatives you've listed, VSee has put a bunch of other video conference alternatives here

Comment on Will Zoom’s New Enterprise Video Conference Hurt Blue Jeans and Vidyo? by milton

Gary, from all my blog writings, you should see that Vidyo is a competitor I personally admire. They are an extremely successful company – they make a great product, the video quality is amazing, and they are ~10 times bigger than VSee. So I would love to make vsee as big and successful as Vidyo

Vidyo’s server requirements, UI, and pricing are complex. We steal tons of customers from Vidyo by competing on simplicity. And we actually serve almost all the companies you listed as Vidyo customers we stand behind our product so much that we include all our competitors on the button of our home page: http://vsee.com/videoconference

Zoom has a more modern and scalable architecture – and this give it an edge over Vidyo in the longer term. My personal prediction is that Zoom will be sold for more money than Vidyo. Vidyo was radical and innovative when it disrupted Polycom/Cisco, but now newer players are disrupting Vidyo via simpler design and newer thinking. Btw, Vidyo will be sold for a lot of money (Polycom/Cisco are forced to make them an offer) – so Vidyo is already a big success and it will be a bigger success when it exits. But Zoom will have an even bigger exit since it will impact more people

I find it interesting how easily you seem to write off Vidyo without any explanation other than a “complicated pricing plan”. I guess that depends on who you are comparing it to. If you are comparing it to Polycom, Cisco, or LifeSize on an enterprise level, it is much less complicated and a fraction of the cost with better quality. You don’t mention the difference in architectures either. Unlike vidyo, BlueJeans uses an antiquated MCU based architecture which was never designed to scale to thousands. What is the architecture behind your VSee? BCG, the US department of defense, Kaiser Permanente, Google, the Gap, Cerner, and CERN are just a few of it’s named clients. I guess if you’re a mandy moore or Branjolina fan, those names would wouldn’t mean much to you. Cheers!

I believe Skype, Google Hangouts etc. are quality online collaboration tools in addition to WebEx, gomeetnow, gotomeeting, on premise RHUB appliances etc.

Comment on VSee vs. Skype: Three Key Differences by Tony

Wow! I’ve been using Skype for years, and just used Vsee for the first time… to interview for a job, no less…

I was amazed at how good the picture and clarity was, and how it didn’t freeze up one time while I was on my 1.5 hours interview!

I’m going to start using Vsee, for all my internet marketing business needs;-)

Thanks for posting these great articles for me to read, to make an informed decision.
