Post-production refers to all editing and on-demand capabilities. PresenterPro has the best editor, with options to trim the ends of the presentation, as well as modify, remove or add PowerPoint slides after the presentation.
All three products' presentation-management functions were disappointing, because they lack role-based administration for creating or modifying upcoming events. At least Communicast provides some access control. The service can handle user name and password access control, and even collects and processes credit-card orders. Accordent lets you set up a list of user names and passwords on a per-presentation basis. Mediasite has no access control at all. You may implement some access control with Web server permissions and authentication.
Communicast's Web service charges on a per-user and per-minute basis. The other products are a one-time purchase. Of course, you must supply your own servers and bandwidth to host presentations with the Accordent and Sonic Foundry products. We gave Communicast the highest score for price, since the service handles your streaming needs with a low cost of entry. But this price advantage drops if you do frequent conferences, say, monthly hour-long conferences with 50 users.
All the products performed admirably. Accordent's package is best for organizations that expect to heavily customize content or display. We gave PresenterPro our Editor's Choice award for its post-production editing capabilities, access control and reasonable price. Companies looking for the simplest and most straightforward webcasting should consider Sonic Foundry's turnkey solution, while organizations that lack the bandwidth to host a webconference can safely consider Communicast.
Producing a sophisticated Web presentation that keeps your audience tuned in requires more options than most basic webcasting packages provide. Accordents' PresenterPro Enterprise Edition earned our Editor's Choice award by providing a broad range of options and post-production tools.
