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

"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."
"Their support is great! I have used them a few times and they really get the root of your problems and correct them fast."
"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
"Chairperson controls are pretty user-friendly."
"Customer Service: World-Class! Technical Support: World-Class!"
"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Also excellent."
"We rely on webinars to generate leads for our business, so having a reliable solution was key for us."
"We have recovered the 6 to 8 (agonizing) hours a month we used to spend with another platform's tech support."
"The remote management piece is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us due to the fact that we can support our clients after hours."
"If you are looking for a quick and easy web-based connection session without the need to be on intranet, then this is the solution for you."
"We researched prior to evaluating any remote access solutions and decided that Screenconnect was our first choice; we initiated a trial and have not looked back at any other solutions."
"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's much easier to use ProtectWise Control than to use, for instance, TightVNC or VNC Viewer."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"At first, we switched because of the better price but now we are are using this product happily."
"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%."
 

Cons

"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 download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious."
"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."
"I wish there wasn't the "arbitrary" 150 people cutoff."
"Compared to other webinar platforms, ReadyTalk's pricing is a bit high."
"I would love to see a lobby that attendees can wait in prior to starting the conference."
"A few minor issues along the way."
"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."
"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 was not thrilled with their support. I do not have a lot of time to deal with the attention which is needed to fix issues."
"An option I would want would be to have a shortcut on my desktop, to click on it, and immediately be able to select which system I wanted to access and which computer in that system I wanted to access, and have fewer steps that I would have to physically go through to do so."
"However, the main issue I have seen with it is that, if they are having issues with their web browsers or network, there is really no way to connect with it."
"The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless."
"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."
"The only issues I’ve dealt with are display issues when the end user has a dual monitor setup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"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 $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"It is priced fairly."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
"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."
