It's an amusing post but if Cisco reads this: Please bite! After having spent hundreds of hours in WebEx conferences, I would kill to be able to use anything better (alas corporate mandates against it for conversations > 2 people). The key feature of WebEx seems to be the unique Shoe Filter, that makes everybody sound like they're mumbling muffled through their shoe, from several meters away.
I'm not belittling the complexity in what they do, but others do it better. And I would kill to be able to user others.
The crazy thing here is that Salescrunch really does an awful job of what Webex does primarily: Screensharing.
Salescrunch's screensharing is awful to the point of not being useful. I think this whole PR stunt show just how little Salescrunch understands about the market that Webex is so entrenched in.
It is a classic scenario of a startup not understanding where they are creating value. I suspect that is why Salescrunch seems to have such terrible conversion rates (deduced based on their recent pricing shift).
Webex does suck, but if you are going to start swinging your d!#& around you should at least have something comparable to offer.
Last thing: Salescrunch does require a plugin. They keep saying they don't, but I tried it and they do. It's a Java app you have to download and it executes client side.
