Jitsi Meet vs. ReadyTalk (Discontinued)

I think anyone can use host a meeting using Jitsi easily. It has user-friendly UI. It can be used for daily meetings, small online conferences, etc. Jitsi is best for having a quick conference call without having to think of its setup process. You can also create a separate lobby for people to wait while other people are busy talking in the main room.

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.

• Scalability in terms of participation
• End point hardware improvement
• Stability of core
• Video quality while load generates

• 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

They have been responsive to support-related issues.

For me, the main feature that separates Jitsi from other is the way how I can host a meeting. I can have both a public room as well as a secure private room with a password.

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.

• All in all, jitsi has made the communication between team members easy. Hosting a small meeting is not that difficult so people wo are working from home do not hesitate to start a meet whenever they feel needed.
• Remote working is not possible without proper communication and jitsi has been used for communication in my organization. So, it has been a very usefull tool for us.

Incentivized

• 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
