We've been using Breeze/Connect for a number of years and
find it very useful (especially for screen sharing and/or
remote control of remote desktops) and firewall tolerant
(in the way standard video conferencing is not).

As we've never exceeded a dozen or so end-points I
will have to leave others to comment its ability to
scale.

One moan we do have is that, whilst you can record
meetings, you cannot export them and can only view
them within Breeze/Connect. If you want an "open
archive" of webseminars then this may be a show stopper.
