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

"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
"Customer Service is the best."
"We rely on webinars to generate leads for our business, so having a reliable solution was key for us."
"Our webinar program was floundering, but after I started working with ReadyTalk, we have been able to increase the number of webinars, these webinars have successively attracted higher quality presenters and have become a real marketing tool for our association."
"Recording live webinars and having our recurring demo webinar scheduled out in advance and all synced to Marketo has been indispensable."
"We have recovered the 6 to 8 (agonizing) hours a month we used to spend with another platform's tech support."
"They have a great deployment team."
"Their support is great! I have used them a few times and they really get the root of your problems and correct them fast."
"I do love the monitoring page. If you are using ConnectWise Control, which is the on-prem version, when you are logged into the admin panel, there is a status page that checks network connectivity, the status of the license, and so on."
"The flexibility to manage bandwidth and organize connections, and the price, make ConnectWise a really good choice."
"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."
"Extremely user friendly"
"Being able to flip quickly between however many monitors that I have running, detune the video for black and white, or with fewer colors to make it faster, is amazing."
"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."
"The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access."
"it gives me the ability to remotely connect to machines that I manage without user intervention."
 

Cons

"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
"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)."
"Supporting PPT animations and direct upload of recordings to YouTube would be great."
"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."
"Add animation capabilities!"
"A few minor issues along the way."
"Compared to other webinar platforms, ReadyTalk's pricing is a bit high."
"Eventually, we're going to be moving to them and shutting off ConnectWise."
"I would like ConnectWise Control to be more transparent on the real costs to renew their license."
"There needs to be a way to run the agent without installing, like GoToAssist."
"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)."
"Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow."
"Setting up permissions and groups in the portal is NOT simple or intuitive by any stretch."
"The previous version of ScreenConnect was so old that it was blocked by Windows Defender, SmartScreen, and most anti-virus applications."
"The only slowdown I've seen is when quality settings are set to high - and this is primarily on Windows 10 machines that show a picture on the lock-screen prior to the password entry screen."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"Good price and works well."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"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."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
"I think the product's pricing is a good value. I paid $600 a year and that was fine for me. It was about $50 a month. Licensing is all very straightforward."
