Citrix Online Rated Best Overall Web Conferencing Experience by Users, Again, According to Wainhouse Research

Citrix Online’s web conferencing tools GoToMeeting® and GoToWebinar® were rated top in overall user experience for the second consecutive year, according to Wainhouse Research in its annual “Web Metrics First Half 2010 Survey” of web conferencing users. The services led the web conferencing industry in ease of use, performance, price and the ability to start ad hoc meetings.

Wainhouse Research generated the findings by surveying businesses of all sizes across industry and government, asking individuals to rate their experience in attributes associated with a good user experience.

GoToMeeting will drive ‘Google-like’ phenomenon for collaboration services

In a second report, “2010 North American CSP Market Forecast & Provider Reviews,” Wainhouse Research noted that Citrix Online’s full collaboration product suite has strong appeal to the larger global market and addresses market needs for affordable, flexible and secure solutions for ad hoc web conferencing, webinars and training.

Wainhouse Research pointed to Citrix Online’s very high value proposition, citing it is “a great service at a great price.” The report added, “Continuing with its current strategy of regular product improvements and enhancements, service bundles that create greater client value at low incremental costs and continued campaigns for greater awareness, Wainhouse Research believes Citrix will drive deeper into global markets and create a ‘Google-like’ phenomenon for accessible, low cost collaboration services.”

“We expect the North America market for conferencing and collaboration services to reach approximately $5.5B by 2014,” said Marc Beattie, Managing Partner, Wainhouse Research. “Based on these two recent reports, Citrix Online is well placed to capitalize on that industry growth with its web collaboration suite and to continue to score highly in key attributes that customers care about.”

“Customers have driven our success. The findings in these reports prove that our dedicated focus on simplicity, value and a great user experience is what our customers want in their web collaboration services,” says Brett Caine, general manager of Citrix Online. “We’re confident our approach will continue to enable our customers to succeed while benefiting from our ‘simpler is better’ approach to collaboration. We will naturally benefit from this with continued growth and leadership over the long term.”

GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar are among the fastest growing products in the company's history, due to their ability to provide an easy-to-use, secure, cost-effective and fast way to meet, demonstrate products and collaborate online. With the addition of GoToTraining® earlier this year – an easy-to-use, affordable solution for online corporate training – businesses and individuals now have a full suite of collaborative services for their online meeting, webinar and training needs.
