InstantPresenter Review

The web conferencing solution offered with InstantPresenter reflects a thoroughly and well-planned structure. This assessment is reflected best by the tool”s account manager, which allows for intuitive usage. With the account manager meeting hosts can schedule, prepare, and start a meeting. The optional registration form for attendees serves two purposes: On the one hand it increases security and is an additional aid for meeting reports. On the other hand the feature makes InstantPresenter an ideal tool for webinars, which actually is the main focus of the software.

The weaknesses of InstantPresenter come to light when using desktop-sharing mode. Control of mouse or keyboard cannot be transferred during a meeting and using only selected applications is also not possible. As far as the process of inviting attendees is concerned, InstantPresenter lacks the option of overall integration into local email clients. Moreover, data transmitted during the web conference are not encrypted by default.

Bottom line: The focus of the offered functionalities reveal that InstantPresenter is a tool created primarily for webinars. In areas that are essential to web conferencing, such as desktop sharing and integration into local email clients, the software does not measure up to the standards set by the competitors.
