    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.

    Pros
    WorkCast Corporation
    • Embedded webinars - embed your webinars directly into your landing pages!
    • Useful features - it's packed full of useful features, focusing on the ones that are going to genuinely be of use (i.e., there's no bloat).
    • Well supported - there's a full team at the end of a phone or email if you have any questions at all.

    • 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.

    Cons
    WorkCast Corporation
    • The Presenter 'Pods' could do with tips to explain that these can be repositioned.
    • The questions/polls have room for improvement.

    • 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

    Products such as GoToWebinar are great, but they never truly met our expectations or requirements. We used them for years, but the lack of audience engagement was poor, both in terms of when actually in the webinar and when promoting it. The most annoying feature was the fact the process was disjointed - to watch the webinar, you had to leave the landing page, which was massively frustrating.

    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.

    Return on Investment

    • It's difficult to quantify the ROI financial return but we feel it's had a positive impact on our brand perception.

    • 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
