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

"Customer Service: Excellent. Technical Support: Also excellent."
"Customer Service is the best."
"ReadyTalk helped my organization deliver high-quality training webinars to small business owners around the country."
"They have a great deployment team."
"Recording live webinars and having our recurring demo webinar scheduled out in advance and all synced to Marketo has been indispensable."
"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 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."
"Better than TeamViewer and useful for fixing problems remotely."
"I've noted an ROI while using the solution."
"Their licensing model is good, their pricing model is good, their service is good, bandwidth is excellent."
"Compared to what's out there the pricing is probably a good value."
"The initial setup is fairly straightforward."
"Valuable features include the responsiveness, ability to tune up and tune down the connection, and video."
"I previously used TeamViewer and Chrome Remote Desktop, and ScreenConnect beats out both as it's easier to use than Windows Remote Desktop (outside of a local network) and it's less expensive than TeamViewer."
"Control lets us do remote management of machines without having to be on the VPN. It's super simple and super easy."
 

Cons

"I would love to see a lobby that attendees can wait in prior to starting the conference."
"The aesthetics are not great."
"Prices can always be dropped but overall these rates are competitive with other teleconferencing systems."
"You have to download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious."
"A few minor issues along the way."
"Add animation capabilities!"
"Supporting PPT animations and direct upload of recordings to YouTube would be great."
"We'd like the joining process for presenters to be more seamless (and they are working on that)."
"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."
"Setting up permissions and groups in the portal is NOT simple or intuitive by any stretch."
"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."
"They could provide a toolbox for the plan I'm on."
"At the moment, there's absolutely no specific feature that we actually need additionally since all the features that we need are available."
"The solution is a little bit complicated when you want to implement it."
"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
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Make sure you have enough licensing for all the techs that you have."
"Good price and works well."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"ConnectWise Control is not an overly expensive tool. Its pricing is reasonable."
