... I can see there is VALUE in this deal/platform!
First off, I have to say that the platform is not in any way PERFECT (well nothing is! Zoom has its downside too, if you have been using it for your meetings + webinars feature is a separate plan altogether.)

If you'd like a short read of my article, just head over here:

What I like about this deal/platform?
🌮 WHITE LABEL - they started with CNAME but it had too many problems (in my experience - chrome extension not working under your domain, etc.) and on the 19th (hopefully) they will be releasing the full customizations. I see this as something that brings your brand up front (see next bullet)
🌮 SUB ACCOUNTS - I can have the same plan across my subaccounts (i.e. it's like having your own webinar/meeting platform)
🌮 "Dedicated servers" for you webinars/meetings. Unlike earlier platforms like Vectera, and others that use P2P (Peer to Peer) for their web meetings (this means it relies on the bandwidth/speed of the meeting participants, so when a participant has a SLOOOOW connection, the meeting experience is also SLOOOOW!). Again they are not yet like ZOOM which has invested heavily on their infrastructure but again this is a LIFETIME DEAL, so do the Math!
🌮 AUTORESPONDER - I can link to Sendfox and others
🌮 Custom SMTP (email notifications - hello SocketLabs!)

What needs to improve?
🌮 Again, whitelabel is yet to be released and fully tested by the USERS
🌮 The webmeeting interface is not as customizable as LIVEWEBINAR
🌮 Integrations with SuiteDash and other CRM platforms
🌮 Could not find a way to FLASH the video clips I stored inside the platform
🌮 Recordings are OK and it works, it is downloadable but could use an automatic save into my Cloud Storage (ahem IceDrive?!)

Overall, I think a lot of people downplay the platform / deal just because of previous launches by the people behind Vidthere. I am pretty sure they learned from the experience.

It's a BUY for me!
