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

"In summary, this is a good product that is very easy to use, and I recommend it."
"Cisco Meeting Server is an easy and less complex solution."
"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."
"The share screen option available during conferences is one of the best features of Cisco Meeting Server."
"The UI is user-friendly and very good overall."
"You can use the Cisco Meeting Server to set up conference calls and virtual meetings."
"What I like most about Cisco Meeting Server is its quick management. The solution also has a straightforward configuration."
"Cisco Meeting Server has the best technical support, so I'd rate support a five out of five."
"Unattended access is the most important feature."
"The product is really easy to deploy."
"I am overall satisfied with the product."
"Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video."
"Due to the fact that we can help our clients by being on-site virtually, the solution has allowed us to reduce our travel costs by about 90%."
"At first, we switched because of the better price but now we are are using this product happily."
"We like the fact that on our website we can have the ConnectWise bit embedded, and it has instructions for the end-user about what they need to do. Previously, on LogMeIn, we used to have to almost talk them through everything... ConnectWise has step-by-step instructions, depending on the browser."
"It's very low maintenance."
 

Cons

"This is a difficult solution to install and it should be made easier."
"A few features are missing on the Meetings app, like a recording function."
"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."
"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."
"In Cisco Meeting Server, GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Cisco Meeting Server should include a feature to control another user's screen during a remote session."
"Something that I would like to see in the future is mobile video streaming."
"At the moment, I cannot use my own domain to install it and use it with my clients."
"I really didn't care for the onboarding process and it is something that should be improved."
"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."
"The solution should add the ability to video chat with the user on the other end."
"I thought it was a little bit difficult to set up, it was complicated."
"Eventually, we're going to be moving to them and shutting off ConnectWise."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing fees are billed yearly."
"Price-wise, Cisco Meeting Server is a product that falls in a mid-range category."
"Cisco Meeting Server has reasonable licensing costs."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"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."
"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 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."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
"We pay an annual licensing fee."
"It is priced fairly."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
