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

"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Also excellent."
"Recording live webinars and having our recurring demo webinar scheduled out in advance and all synced to Marketo has been indispensable."
"Within the first 6 months of using ReadyTalk, I have saved over $100K in comparison to using other technologies."
"ReadyTalk helped my organization deliver high-quality training webinars to small business owners around the country."
"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."
"We have recovered the 6 to 8 (agonizing) hours a month we used to spend with another platform's tech support."
"Customer Service is the best."
"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
"We switched over from LogMeIn Rescue, which was okay but became very expensive, and while ConnectWise is our backup method and we don't use it as much as we do our RMM software and remote support, it has definitely really helped in terms of speed and ease."
"We are more efficient at resolving end-user tickets as a result of implementing this product, with our ticket count lower and our ticket throughput increased because now we just click a button to connect and we're off and running."
"It is super easy to use and relatively inexpensive."
"Control lets us do remote management of machines without having to be on the VPN; it's super simple and super easy, so that's really where the advantage comes in for us."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good, bandwidth is excellent."
"The product's two-factor authentication means we are not worried like before about the state of our security."
"ScreenConnect is our backup solution for remote access."
"The product is really easy to deploy."
 

Cons

"A few minor issues along the way."
"I would love to see a lobby that attendees can wait in prior to starting the conference."
"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."
"The aesthetics are not great."
"I wish there wasn't the "arbitrary" 150 people cutoff."
"Prices can always be dropped but overall these rates are competitive with other teleconferencing systems."
"We'd like the joining process for presenters to be more seamless (and they are working on that)."
"Add animation capabilities!"
"Reporting could definitely use improvement. With LogMeIn Rescue, I used to be able to, for instance, at the end of the month, pull off a report of every session. It was very simple... I could see the name that was typed in, the IP address to the computer that it was connected to, if it was running Windows... It just doesn't seem - there might be but I haven't found it - to be a way of pulling that information out of ConnectWise."
"On a Linux machine, there are different limitations that are not there on a Windows Server. Much more limitations exist on Linux deployments."
"If it had Chrome capability, that would be great; being able to use it on a Chrome device. Right now, I can't use it on my Chrome device."
"I have not had to deal with their tech support very much. When I have, I was not thrilled with their support."
"Setting up permissions and groups in the portal is NOT simple or intuitive by any stretch."
"Support for PAC files on the guest's side and support for proxy on the host's side. Currently, there is no support for guest-side PAC files or for the host-side proxy (which uses authentication)."
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
"The cloud version is relatively inexpensive, but the on-premise version is expensive if you do not need three technicians, only one or two for concurrent sessions."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"It is priced fairly."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"Good price and works well."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
