Online Events Collaboration
Comparison of Online Events Collaboration features of LoopUp and ReadyTalk (Discontinued)
It's fantastic for folks who have conference calls with folks outside your organization throughout the day. It does not have a video option though, so if you need that, look elsewhere. After each call, I get an email "receipt" which shows the length of the call and all participants.

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

Loopup is a cheaper alternative than GoToMeeting. You do sacrifice some of the features, but for most staff requiring a dial in and screen sharing it does the job. If cost reduction is at the forefront, you may want to look more seriously at LoopUp as a screen sharing tool.

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
