Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the share information function."
"We use the solution for team collaboration, document sharing, and video conferencing services. It integrates well with on-premises video conferencing systems and supports chatting through text messaging and instant messaging."
"In terms of functionality, it has some interesting features that I haven't seen in other solutions like content rewind where you can see content from the beginning of the meeting even though you weren't there when it commenced."
"I can say firsthand that the reason we work with Avaya as a user and as a business partner is because it's by far the most stable and scalable platform among unified communications platforms in the market."
"It is very easy to jump from one communication channel to another one. It is pretty clear and very easy to do. That is the thing that I like the most from Avaya and their suite."
"Interesting collaboration features."
"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
"Their support is great! I have used them a few times and they really get the root of your problems and correct them fast."
"Using ReadyTalk has strengthened our webinar program at AMA."
"They have a great deployment team."
"I utilize ReadyTalk to train roughly 300 people monthly, my colleagues use it to host staff meetings, to supplement coursework from our online university, and to deliver organizational content to our constituent base."
"Customer Service is the best."
"Customer Service: World-Class! Technical Support: World-Class!"
"Customer Service: Excellent. Have been able to help me determine when to use the operator assisted service and even demo-ed this experience for me in order to make more informed decision."
 

Cons

"Unfortunately, the video conferencing, both audio and video were not as good as Webex or Microsoft."
"Increase in participant numbers reduces quality of video and sound."
"The installation could be more straightforward. I would like it to work with other meeting software in the next release."
"There isn't too much information about Avaya solutions and that could be very much improved. If you want some product support, you have to go through a business partner in Latin America and there aren't many partners."
"Avaya IX Meetings' deployment is complex."
"You have to download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious."
"Add animation capabilities!"
"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
"Compared to other webinar platforms, ReadyTalk's pricing is a bit high."
"You have to schedule operator-assisted audio events 24 hours in advance, if the turn around time could be quicker - it would help with last minute events."
"I wish there wasn't the "arbitrary" 150 people cutoff."
"One great feature they can add is the ability to use animations within your slides."
"A few minor issues along the way."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm using a subscription. The price is reasonable. It costs about $20 a year."
"Avaya IX Meetings' licensing costs are monthly."
