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

"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 helped my organization deliver high-quality training webinars to small business owners around the country."
"ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information."
"Recording live webinars and having our recurring demo webinar scheduled out in advance and all synced to Marketo has been indispensable."
"Within the first 6 months of using ReadyTalk, I have saved over $100K in comparison to using other technologies."
"Using ReadyTalk allows us to provided effective trainings, makes our employees more productive, and safer by keeping them closer to home."
"Chairperson controls are pretty user-friendly."
"Their support is great! I have used them a few times and they really get the root of your problems and correct them fast."
"Recently I needed to remotely access the software at my office, and I was able to connect using the software and access the information I needed within a minute or two, rather than having to drive to the office to get into the computer system."
"Unattended access is the most important feature."
"I do love the monitoring page. If you are using ConnectWise Control, which is the on-prem version, when you are logged into the admin panel, there is a status page that checks network connectivity, the status of the license, and so on."
"Being able to quickly remotely access other computers from anywhere, supporting our other users is simple and quick to do."
"Engineers have quick, usable access to clients' infrastructure, which was not so easy with GoToMeeting."
"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."
"ConnectWise Connect is very convenient as we can remote to a PC even when it is not within our LAN."
"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."
 

Cons

"We'd like the joining process for presenters to be more seamless (and they are working on that)."
"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."
"The aesthetics are not great."
"Compared to other webinar platforms, ReadyTalk's pricing is a bit high."
"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."
"Would love to have a calendar (much like Outlook offers) that included scheduled appointments."
"Add animation capabilities!"
"At the moment, I cannot use my own domain to install it and use it with my clients."
"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."
"Reporting could definitely use improvement. With LogMeIn Rescue, I used to be able to, for instance, at the end of the month, pull off a report of every session. It was very simple... I could see the name that was typed in, the IP address to the computer that it was connected to, if it was running Windows... It just doesn't seem - there might be but I haven't found it - to be a way of pulling that information out of ConnectWise."
"The username is automatically generated by ScreenConnect and you can't choose it."
"Reporting could definitely use improvement."
"Setting up permissions and groups in the portal is NOT simple or intuitive by any stretch."
"Mobile interface."
"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."
 

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."
"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."
"We pay $85 per month for each user for a ConnectWise package with multiple solutions."
"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."
"We pay an annual licensing fee."
"Pricing is fair for Control and the licensing is simple."
"I download the product for free with ConnectWise RMM's license."
"Good price and works well."
