Overall Satisfaction with GlobalMeet Collaboration

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.
  • I'm not aware of an ROI that hasn't been met. Most every organization needs a conference bridge in order to function efficiently; ReadyTalk is a cost-effective, user friendly solution.
ReadyTalk and GoTo Meeting are both good conferencing tools. The cost difference is what led us to selecting ReadyTalk over GoToMeeting. Honestly, almost all the conference tools have the same functionality ... they may look a little different but they all offer essentially the same thing. In my opinion, the slight differences between any conference tool is overridden by the cost factor!
ReadyTalk is well suited to corporate calls, internal calls, external calls, sales calls ... I can't think of a scenario where it couldn't be used.
