How are customer service and support?

Customer Service:

Customer Service is the best. It is so easy to get an answer to a question when I need it. Customer Service is real people. I never feel lost trying to find a contact number or email address. They want to be helpful. That is different than many other companies.

I don't know the size of the company but they act like a small company. It's easy to get help when needed.

Technical Support:

Excellent.

Readytalk allow you and easier and effective way to convey your message

What is most valuable?

Co-hosting

How has it helped my organization?

By having the ability to have co-presenters, I can create a more interactive event for my audience because the co-presenter can access control while presenting.

What needs improvement?

I would love to see a "lobby" that attendees can wait in prior to starting the conference. This allows the presenters to discuss issues, work out any technical issues, and strategize before beginning. This way attendees cannot hear "live" conversation or see if issues are present.

For how long have I used the solution?

3 years

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

No

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No

How are customer service and technical support?

Good

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Yes. Pricing.

How was the initial setup?

Straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

Vendor team. They were very helpful.

What other advice do I have?

ReadyTalk is a great tool to bring large groups together to train or update pertinent information. For those not able to attend live meetings, having the ability to record is vital.

Good product, has Java issues

Valuable Features:

Chairperson controls are pretty user-friendly.

Room for Improvement:

You have to download a spreadsheet three times post-meeting if you want surveys, registration, attendance. Kind of tedious. However, they update software regularly and poll community of users for feedback for future change and improvements.

Use of Solution:

At least 4 years

Customer Service:

Great, they answer questions quickly.

Initial Setup:

It finally works on Apple computers and used to struggle on PC, but they've fixed all the bugs.

Very User Friendly

Valuable Features

I use ReadyTalk primarily for training. ReadyTalk is a very user friendly tool. Many of my trainees are remote employees, or business partners, and they are able to use ReadyTalk with ease. It works with every browser, and makes sharing content a breeze.

Room for Improvement

I'm hoping for new features, soon! I think it would be nice to be able to start a conference off in listen only mode, without having to set it before hand. Maybe a feature to have the chairperson join first, choose audio options, then the participants can join.
