A scalable and stable solution that offers good production support
I am impressed with the tool's production support.  The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system.  I have been using the product for five years.  I would rate the tool's stability a ten out of ten. I would rate the solution's scalability a ten 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

"GlobalMeet has been a great cost-savings for our company."
"Customer Service: Excellent. PGI is always improving and responsive to their customer's needs!"
"I believe that the nominal additional cost for GlobalMeet is outweighed by having a reliable conferencing system that never embarrasses the organization with technical issues."
"I am impressed with the tool's production support."
"I would absolutely recommend using GlobalMeet; it is a great solution that is easy and really makes meetings more enjoyable."
"I love the Outlook toolbar that GlobalMeet has incorporated, as I use it to create announcements for web meetings, start my audio and web meetings with just a few clicks, have the program call me so I do not need to remember phone numbers and passcodes, see those attending my call, control noise by muting callers, and even record the call for later usage."
"We are a remote organization mostly, so all of our team meetings use this platform, allowing us to share screens, record meetings, and include everyone on the call."
"This is the future of modern business and networking."
"We host 4 webinars a month using Share tools and have reached on some occasions more than 500 participants just by one invitation being shared through social media."
"Using ReadyTalk allows us to provided effective trainings, makes our employees more productive, and safer by keeping them closer to home."
"ReadyTalk helped my organization deliver high-quality training webinars to small business owners around the country."
"Customer Service is the best."
"Their support is great! I have used them a few times and they really get the root of your problems and correct them fast."
"Recording live webinars and having our recurring demo webinar scheduled out in advance and all synced to Marketo has been indispensable."
"They have a great deployment team."
"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

"I guess if I could recommend is to make sure that the polling tool functions properly as I've dealt with issues in the passed."
"I have noticed it crashing during some events."
"We had issues of multiple people getting kicked off the call and/or the online meeting by the afternoon."
"When you get a large number of users on GlobalMeet it tends to slow things down a little bit but with the support group at hand things picked back up quickly."
"The tool is slow in updating changes. It also has a poor dashboard operating system."
"The presenter experience can be improved: Increase the presenter interface to show the attendees and chat while in a screen share (not viewable by the others) without having to navigate away from your current window for a smoother presentation."
"I would like the presenter able to view the attendees list at all times without having to pause. The guest login could be a little easier."
"I would like to see the reports available right after my call, instead of 24 hours later."
"Compared to other webinar platforms, ReadyTalk's pricing is a bit high."
"Supporting PPT animations and direct upload of recordings to YouTube would be great."
"Prices can always be dropped but overall these rates are competitive with other teleconferencing systems."
"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
"Add animation capabilities!"
"A few minor issues along the way."
"One great feature they can add is the ability to use animations within your slides."
"We'd like the joining process for presenters to be more seamless (and they are working on that)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten and it is yearly."
