"I am a business coach currently using GoToMeeting (Citrix). It has worked fine for me except for the fact that I want to be able to record meetings (both the audio and screen presentation), and GoToMeeting's recording feature does not produce a satisfactory audio recording. Most of my meetings are with 1-2 clients at a time, but I will occasionaly want to do (and record) webinars with up to 100 participants at a time."
