Simple to set up, reasonable pricing, and useful remote control capabilities
I'm on the latest version of the solution. I just updated it yesterday. While we have the solution on-premises at this time, we'll likely move to the cloud later this year. They have a trial version that you can try. They have a free version that you can try as well. I use it myself to support my family. I would try the free version or the trial version depending on your business. They can set you up and you can get to see all the features. I would also advocate going to the cloud version. Don't bother with the on-prem. It's just easier to jump to the cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The UI is user-friendly and very good overall."
"The share screen option available during conferences is one of the best features of Cisco Meeting Server."
"You can use the Cisco Meeting Server to set up conference calls and virtual meetings. Those are the two primary functions of Meeting Server. Most people in the company are using Microsoft Teams, so we only use Meeting Server when we have an internal meeting for all staff."
"What I like most about Cisco Meeting Server is its quick management. The solution also has a straightforward configuration."
"Cisco Meeting Server is an easy and less complex solution."
"Better than TeamViewer and useful for fixing problems remotely."
"Setup was very straightforward. All I had to do was write a GPO on my domain controller and it automatically installed the agent that I downloaded from the software. I literally had to do nothing."
"It's very easy to use, very easy to understand. It gives us remote access to the PC without any issues."
"Remote connect via webpage. I use it to support employees when I am not in the office or when they are at a remote location."
"Offers more security than TeamViewer, Google Remote Desktop, and Zoom. It's a stable, feature-rich solution that's easy to set up and easy to scale."
"It's very low maintenance."
"The unattended access functionality is a valuable feature, because I can go in at any time that I want, deploy fixes, or do maintenance."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
 

Cons

"A few features are missing on the Meetings app, like a recording function. My understanding is that you need to buy a separate recording solution. It's modular, so you have to enable some functions if you want to use them. For example, we had to enable the Mood function. Recording is the primary feature we'd like to see in the app."
"Cisco Meeting Server should include a feature to control another user's screen during a remote session."
"In Cisco Meeting Server, GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"This is a difficult solution to install and it should be made easier."
"What would make Cisco Meeting Server better is integrating it with Zoom and Teams so that you can connect or make a call through any of the two third-party solutions."
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."
"I would like to see more overlap, meaning, I would like to be able to see what processes are running on a computer, for example, or what services are running."
"There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."
"There is one back-end issue that I am running into at some of locations where I login to provide support, and sometimes port 443 is blocked. That is what it uses to connect. So, I am having to do workarounds to get a session started."
"There can be some complexities when running patches or when building up all the profiles, making them areas where improvements are required."
"I would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license."
"The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."
"For my company, just installing the software and using it is very easy. But if I need to give one of my customers access to their machines, the process that you have to go through is some 15 to 20 steps. You have to create a group, and then you have to assign a policy. It takes 15 to 20 minutes to set up someone for remote access to their own machine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are billed yearly."
"Cisco Meeting Server has reasonable licensing costs."
"Price-wise, Cisco Meeting Server is a product that falls in a mid-range category."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"Good price and works well."
"We pay an annual licensing fee."
"It is priced well and it is still a great value. Although I have been reading a lot about Splashtop. They are getting pretty competitive on their pricing, including a fairly easy to use remote support for mobile applications, like iOS and Android."
