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

"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."
"Customer Service: World-Class! Technical Support: World-Class!"
"ReadyTalk helped my organization deliver high-quality training webinars to small business owners around the country."
"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."
"They have a great deployment team."
"ReadyTalk is a very user friendly tool."
"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."
"It's worth using over the others because it makes unattended remote access faster and simpler than the other products I tried."
"ScreenConnect is our backup solution for remote access."
"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%."
"I am overall satisfied with the product."
"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."
"Compared to what's out there the pricing is probably a good value."
"Ease of use is good, it's very easy to use, very easy to understand."
 

Cons

"You have to download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious."
"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."
"I wish there wasn't the "arbitrary" 150 people cutoff."
"The aesthetics are not great."
"We'd like the joining process for presenters to be more seamless (and they are working on that)."
"Add animation capabilities!"
"One great feature they can add is the ability to use animations within your slides."
"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 thought it was a little bit difficult to set up, it was complicated."
"The username is automatically generated by ScreenConnect and you can't choose it."
"Speed is a major factor in Automate, and the control panel is horribly slow."
"We have had issues. We have had circumstances, for reasons we don't know, where the service will stop running, and when the service stops running that computer no longer becomes reachable. We haven't really seen that so much on desktops, but we have seen that happen quite frequently on server operating systems, Server 2008, Server 2012. You can install the product and then a week down the road it will just stop."
"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."
"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."
"At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available."

"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"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."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"Good price and works well."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"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."
