We use Saba Meeting very heavily where I work. Almost everything is done in on-line meetings. Where do I begin to describe how bad this service is? The word "Saba" is used as an expletive at my organization. The adjective before "Saba" in my bookmarks cannot be uttered in polite company.

1. Saba is supposed to run on Macs. I guess technically it does but you have to figure out work-arounds that are quite different from PC's and there is terrible support. One example of how it "runs" on a Mac. Within a meeting you can create an agenda--upload documents, images, power-point presentation. etc On a mac, if you upload a ppt. to the agenda, you only get the first page of the presentation, if you want your entire presentation you have to upload it slide by slide either as separate ppt, gif, tif, etc.
2. Botched upgrades. After our upgrade to Saba 8, nothing worked, absolutely nothing. We had to cancel an entire week of meetings. It took several weeks more to recover all of our previously recorded meetings and have them available for play-back.... (Read the full review)

In summary, I would not recommend Saba Centra Suite to a friend.

Tried their free version and later subscribed. In their free version they let you hold meetings and collaborate with 5 people. Powerful toolset available in their app like whiteboards, markup tools, etc.

User Interface seems a bit dated and could be improved. Video conferencing and Chat is not docked and could get in the way if not careful. Up to 8 video screens and great VoIP quality on the call.

Their iPad/iPhone app is very nice and simple to use including watching play back of recordings.

In summary, I would recommend Saba Centra Suite to a friend.
