Decent Conferencing for a Distributed Workforce
We use ReadyTalk across our entire organization, which spans across multiple countries. ReadyTalk is our primary means of hosting web and voice conferences. We use its screen sharing, voice conferencing, and recording capabilities along with its instant messaging to run "polls" during some of our meetings. We use ReadyTalk both on our individual computers and phones, including for our remote and work-from-home workers, as well as in our conferencing rooms. We even use it via mobile devices when necessary. We also have ReadyTalk integrated with our email and calendar tools (Outlook).
- Merges multiple collaboration capabilities in one place: screen share, IM, and voice collaboration
- Integrates with other products such as Outlook calendar
- Provides reliable recording technology to capture communications/meetings
- Buggy behavior especially for screen sharing; sometimes, screen sharing just stops working. We've often found this is because another instance of ReadyTalk is still running in the background and it failed to close entirely when we left the last meeting.
- Unreliable softphone - we typically have to dial in from a cell or landline and cannot use the computer itself to connect to audio as it won't work.
- Very slow at promoting co-presenters and can be buggy when trying to transition between people for screen sharing.
We support users of ReadyTalk through our marketing agency. Our clients use ReadyTalk as a webinar platform, and one of the primary reasons is because of the integration with HubSpot. It is primarily used by marketing, but we also have instances where HR departments utilize it as well. It solves the issue of manually creating workflows in HubSpot and importing lists of registrants and attendees from webinars, and allows for a more streamlined process for users and attendees.
- Support from their team is much better than their competitors.
- HubSpot integration.
- Automation capabilities.
- Ease of use for attendees is sometimes difficult with the need to continually download.
- It takes longer to train and onboard meeting presenters/hosts.

ReadyTalk, go ahead and give it a try!
Readytalk is used company-wide for the most part, with the exception of our C-suite or traveling training teams. Readytalk is used in our company to conduct business meetings, conference calls, or any client facing or internal screen or call sharing options. We switched to the service because it allows the user conducting the call to have more control over who is able to attend, as well as a higher amount of attendees who are able to attend. It can be a really useful tool for departments who need to conduct bigger than average conference calls and/or meetings.
- Has a high capacity for number of attendees who can attend a training call and/or client development meeting
- Screen sharing option is very user-friendly and intuitive.
- Account managers and Readytalk blogs are really helpful. Provide great tips and user best practices which is essential
- The person who starts the meeting must be on the call the entire time, otherwise, the Readytalk conference line disconnects. If there is a way to pass off control, so the meeting arranger is able to leave the meeting without disrupting the flow of the call.
- More CRM (Salesforce ) integration capabilities down the road. For record keeping purposes
- If there was a Chrome extension that would be cool

Effective solution, but you can find better
Our business uses ReadyTalk for both internal and external communications. We use it strictly to conference in teams and individuals, whether remote or in the office. Aside from a secure conference line, the screen share capabilities are leveraged to demonstrate our solutions. This can entail both training and selling purposes. The conference recording functions also allow you to archive meetings and share them with others for instructional purposes.
- ReadyTalk provides a safe and secure conference network for you to host conversations and conduct business.
- Easy access to a shared communication line.
- Integrates well with other internal solutions.
- Not so friendly user interface—easy for us to navigate, but clients often get tripped up.
- Technical issues with launching the screen share are common (may be inevitable, but the screen share is far from quality).
- Difficult to access a shared network of conference recordings—would be very helpful for learning and instruction.

ReadyTalk: A Cost Effective Conferencing Solution
ReadyTalk is used throughout our organization, not just by sales personnel. It is a great tool for hosting internal or external calls. I use it when training new hires; because it allows screen share and screen control. This makes training from a distance much easier to accomplish. Our sales organization uses ReadyTalk to set up a conference bridge when we need to bring the prospect, sales and SMEs together on a call. Leadership uses ReadyTalk when hosting corporate events, such as All Hands calls.
- Screen share is very easy with ReadyTalk, as is the ability to grant control of a desktop to another user. This comes in handy when training.
- Recording with ReadyTalk is very easy; just a click of an icon and you're recording both audio and video.
- Editing a recording is EXTREMELY easy ... the easiest of any conference bridge tool I've ever used!
- ReadyTalk can be a bit cumbersome when you have more than one presenter. In this scenario, you need to start the call early so that each presenter can download their interface ahead of time. This is necessary because ReadyTalk will drop them from the bridge and they'll have to call back in.
