The following are highlights from a WebDemo product review by Vlad Wielbut:

1. Seamless, almost instantaneous installation of the Java client.
2. Multiple simultaneous video windows. (We had only two, but WebDemo can handle as many as your bandwidth can allow.)
3. Selectable size and quality of the video streams.
4. Excellent performance of application and desktop sharing (at least in the default 256-color mode) - no noticeable delay.
5. Good quality of audio (VoIP) and better-than-average quality of video.
6. Rich set of features.
7. Session recording can include both audio and video.
