From PGi, ReadyTalk is a web conferencing solution that has been discontinued. PGi's replaced the solution with GlobalMeet Collaboration... which is now also discontinued.

ReadyTalk seems comparable to GoToMeeting and seems to have very similar feature sets and integrations. We currently use ReadyTalk because of the ease of use when setting up a conference call, whereas we've had some difficulties calling in to various GoToMeeting conferences and …

ReadyTalk is a better quality product and has more functions and features than Zoom. It is about the same cost but you get more out of it. It uses less bandwidth than Zoom and it is easier to use and setup. I have not tried any other software because I like ReadyTalk a lot.

We ultimately chose ReadyTalk due to the price, we currently use Zoom for live webinars. I found that ON24 was a much more robust platform that offered more and better customer support options but that came at a much higher price. Finding platforms that offer the "simu-live" …

I was not involved in the decision to use ReadyTalk or the research that went into that decision, so I cannot speak knowledgeably on the pros and cons of alternative conferencing software solutions. I do know that other vendors in this space include WebEx, Zoom, and GoToMeeting.

ReadyTalk probably provides some of the easiest integration with physical phones. I really like that I only have to click a link in my invite and then can get ReadyTalk to dial my cell phone and launch screen sharing from one place versus other systems where I'm stuck having to …

I have used GoToMeeting and ScreenLeap and prefer ReadyTalk. ScreenLeap was much more confusing to navigate, and ReadyTalk was a better price point than GoToMeeting.

ReadyTalk has a support team, whereas GoToWebinar is more of a platform you need to manage on your own without support unless you go into a queue that takes several days/weeks to respond. ReadyTalk's integration with HubSpot is superior as well allowing for a more streamlined …

ClearSlide comes with a higher price point, but had great Salesforce CRM integration capabilities. Very professional internal slide presentation feature, which could be helpful for anyone in need of a service that shows powerpoints well.

Not a decision that I had control over. Don’t get me wrong, ClearSlide has its pitfalls, but ReadyTalk appeared to be a downgrade of system functionality, quality meetings, and time efficiency.

Readytalk is more a professional and enterprise solution when compared to WebinarJam. GoToWebinar is a good tool but there were internal challenges with getting it set up and running vs. Readytalk that would cost us more time and headache. We use WebEx for internal meetings …

ReadyTalk and GoTo Meeting are both good conferencing tools. The cost difference is what led us to selecting ReadyTalk over GoToMeeting. Honestly, almost all the conference tools have the same functionality ... they may look a little different but they all offer essentially …

Think about your needs as an organization and whether you will be using primarily audio only or audio plus web. If audio only then ReadyTalk will certainly meet your need. If web, then shop around for functionality, support, and price. I am fairly "neutral" on ReadyTalk - neither a huge cheerleader nor a huge detractor.

Screen share/conference calling: They make it quick and easy to join a meeting for your guests. They don't need to download anything; all they need to do is click on the link and enter the access code.
Mobile App: The app has been great for our team as they can now easily start a meeting with a click of a button from the app.
Recordings: It is very easy to record a webinar or conference call which you can then download.

If ReadyTalk provided an easier way to set up the initial call through a different platform aside from email, it may make things a bit simpler.
ReadyTalk's monitor-specific screensharing process is a bit clunky and could be a bit better in identifying which monitor has been selected for sharing.
ReadyTalk's admin dashboard could use a UI update.

ReadyTalk is easy to use, but I did find the initial integration to Outlook a bit cumbersome. I couldn't tell you how to do it now - someone else had to walk me through it when I started at the company. We also have a lot of issues with people trying to use their computers for audio; often, it stops working entirely mid-meeting

Other regions in our organization have implemented WebEx. We have experienced poor audio and lack of customer service in our region. For quick interoffice communication and screen share, we use Skype for Business. Many people who have had the choice between WebEx and ReadyTalk will, more times than not, request a ReadyTalk account to be created. They feel the interface is much simpler to adapt. WebEx is not super friendly, especially on the backend of the tool.

Positive impact. Able to fluidly demonstrate our software over conference call at the drop of a dime
Positively impacts clients onboarding process due to ability to screen share with a high amount of people at the same time
Higher ROI due to ability to show clients our new platform before their purchase in order to show the value of our product in real time via Readytalk conference
