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

"Recording live webinars and having our recurring demo webinar scheduled out in advance and all synced to Marketo has been indispensable."
"Using ReadyTalk has strengthened our webinar program at AMA."
"We host 4 webinars a month using Share tools and have reached on some occasions more than 500 participants just by one invitation being shared through social media."
"ReadyTalk is a very user friendly tool."
"We have recovered the 6 to 8 (agonizing) hours a month we used to spend with another platform's tech support."
"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."
"They have a great deployment team."
"We rely on webinars to generate leads for our business, so having a reliable solution was key for us."
"Compared to what's out there the pricing is probably a good value."
"Remote support is efficient and easy for our end users to receive 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."
"Session groups and triggers are the most valuable features, because they make a greater degree of organization possible. Greater degree of organization is valuable to my organization, because we have many sessions to handle."
"The ConnectWise ScreenConnect tool is very good for remote access."
"You can bring up a command prompt remotely and execute commands without having to disturb the user."
"My business is connected to supporting computers; of course, it helps me a lot."
"I've noted an ROI while using the solution."
 

Cons

"I would love to see a lobby that attendees can wait in prior to starting the conference."
"Compared to other webinar platforms, ReadyTalk's pricing is a bit high."
"One great feature they can add is the ability to use animations within your slides."
"Add animation capabilities!"
"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
"A few minor issues along the way."
"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)."
"Mobile interface."
"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."
"The previous version of ScreenConnect was so old that it was blocked by Windows Defender, SmartScreen, and most anti-virus applications."
"The recent redesign has made it slower and basically worthless."
"Something that I would like to see in the future is mobile video streaming."
"The username is automatically generated by ScreenConnect and you can't choose it."
"What we need this product to do is to be able to control Windows Updates. LogMeIn Central allowed us remote access but also allowed to push and install Windows Updates, and third-party updates... When we made the switch to ConnectWise we lost the ability to do patching. That forced us, for our larger clients, to move to WSUS. We had to set up a VM on those larger clients to push Windows Updates and patches into the network."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good; bandwidth is excellent. They're consistent."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"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."
"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
"We pay $3,000 USD for the service, yearly upfront."
"For the price we pay, we definitely feel it's worth it, but there are some contenders in the market that are coming out now, whose products are as good; they are offering more features and the price is actually less than ConnectWise. All things considered, the biggest thing is the lack of patching in ConnectWise. If they could integrate that into the product, that would be a game changer, if offered at the same price point."
"Good price and works well."
"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."
