It's a great remote tool and the price can't be beat.
It's fast and easy to use. I've helped support a lot of computer illiterate and elderly people and they were able to let me remote into their systems pretty easily. I've been using this product for 5 years now. I've tried all the remote support software and this is the best and most economical. Whenever I have a problem or question I talk to their support agent and he's great to work with.
CONSYearly support renewals. It's not too bad to renew though, all the companies do it. Some of the smaller products seem to go out of life pretty quick.

A reliable and feature rich choice for conferencing and support.
We've had TurboMeeting for several years. I bought it back when alternatives were very expensive. We've used it for years to host webinars and support sessions with our remote employees. Since moving to Office 365 for our Office software needs, most web conferences are handled with Skype for Business, or more recently, Teams. However, the IT department does still use TurboMeeting to assist customers when they need help or to troubleshoot issues a customer reports about our website.
PROSTurboMeeting is reliable, inexpensive, feature-rich, easy to install and maintain.
CONSThe only problem I've ever had with TurboMeeting is that it can sometimes be problematic talking a remote user through the process of connecting to a meeting, particularly support meetings with inexperienced users. I don't think this is necessarily a problem specific to TurboMeeting though. The user on the other end is generally the real problem.
Reason for choosing TurboMeeting
Cost. We did subscribe to Webex for a period under a discount offer, but they were too expensive for our needs, which are limited.

Very cheap Alternative to other vendors
It’s a good product , but it was not the right fit for our organization
PROSAbility to host the server on premises Overall cost to license and renew the platform Integration with Outlook
CONSUnfortunately because of the on-premises solution hosting. The trade off was that we were limited by our own network capabilities. Also, the learning curve for most of the end users became too high to overcome. Many of our overseas users experienced issues connecting

Great flexible , affordable, and easy to use product
For It shops and small and medium businesses this product is perfect. Pay once and annual support and it is very budget friendly.
PROSQuick to bring in and setup. It has been reliable now for almost 6 years and allows IT the flexibility to help support users and users to feel empowered to host their own meetings. User provisioning is simple and security groups can be easily applied.
CONSIt could use better auditing and logging. Such as being able to search and store meeting chat history and user activity like file transfer attempts and maybe a digital loss and content filter. But those are advanced options that may only be needed for regulated industries. Two factor for Admins would be nice. Some times remote admin has hiccups with prompts and reconnecting.
Reason for choosing TurboMeeting
Price and control and flexibility. Pay once and infinite uses. ability to leave meetings and support access open.

The best, most cost effective solution money can buy!
Freedom to remotely access in every way necessary (video, remote control, webinar, etc.) while maintaining on-premise security
PROSI have used this appliance in two agencies I have worked in. As a matter of fact, I have assisted in purchasing it in each of them. When comparing the cost to the alternative vendors, there was no comparison. One of the biggest reasons I moved to this solution is the ability to download the client to a computer without the need for administrative credentials, as our users do not have those rights. From an IT point of view, we love the ability to connect to computers outside our network, without the users needing admin rights, and then be able to elevate TurboMeeting in the session, without user assistance other than clicking a single button. Then there is an option to reboot the remote PC into safe mode, with networking support, and auto reconnects once in safe mode!!! Also, the ability to use LDAP domain authentication is very handy in our large organization. Other solutions we have used have required reconnecting the session after network changes have been made. For example, when we troubleshoot VPN sessions, once connected to the VPN we have previously had to reconnect after the user attaches to a VPN session. TurboMeeting/RHUB appliances seem automatically detect there is a change in the network connection and attaches to the session. Overall, we LOVE this appliance for ALL of its functionality.
CONSThere have been times I have had to wait for fixes to the firmware in order for our environment to work correctly. But there are two sides to that scenario... because of their great customer support, it didn't take a year for these kinds of fixes to take place. As soon as I brought up the problems, they began working on them. That is the kind of company this is. I have also had to reboot the appliance a few times, due to no response on the network. But no more often than once every 2 to 3 months. I would like to see LDAP Security and Authentication built out to allow for nested group membership, and Admin rights added to LDAP groups (rather than local users on the device only)

Problem free for 7 years.
Our users us this daily internally with our own employees and externally with clients. The only problem I ever had with this product is running out of licenses. This product is instrumental in providing web based conferencing functionality and in making our teams more productive.
PROS- Does what it needs to do (web conferencing, HD video conference, Remote Support, Remote Access - I like the simplicity of the user interface and administration - Maintenance Free - Used the TM250 for 7 trouble-free years - Push Updates from RHUB - More cost effective than Webex
CONSSome might say the UI is a bit crude but it does work for me. We just upgraded to a TMA - 20. When I got the package, my first reaction was "Did they send me the right hardware?" The package was small and light. When I opened it, it was smaller in Length and Width of an iPhone 7. Our old unit was a TM-250 which was the size of a Zotac micro-computer. Can't believe something this small can be an improvement over what we currently have. This isn't a "con" but more of a feedback. If it works as well as our old one with the new footprint then that is amazing.

It's a decent item , however it was not an ideal choice for our association
Cost and control and adaptability. Pay once and for boundless purposes. capacity to leave gatherings and backing access open.
PROSIt is speedy and easy to utilize. I've upheld various older and PC uneducated people, and they were able to permit me remote admittance to their frameworks. It is reliable, reasonable, loaded with elements, and easy to introduce and keep up with. I like that TurboMeeting can be utilized for the two gatherings and remote access meetings so our IT faculty can assist us with any specialized issues. Plausibility of on-location server facilitating Absolute expense of permitting and keeping up with the stage Synchronizing with Standpoint
CONSIt could utilize better reviewing and logging. For example, having the option to look at and store meeting visit history and client movement like document move endeavors and perhaps a computerized misfortune and content channel. Yet, those are progressed choices that may just be required for directed ventures. Two variables for Administrators would be great. A few times remote administrators have hiccups with prompts and reconnecting.

TurboMeeting enables me to simply access my business PC remotely
When you can't fix the problem alone and need someone to log in and help you remotely, this feature comes in handy. I enjoy how TurboMeeting can be utilised for meetings as well as when our IT staff has to access our computer to assist with any technical concerns. For our IT to connect to our devices, we utilise turbo meeting. It is really simple to navigate and utilise. It enables the host to simply access our system while also allowing the user to monitor the applications they are using.
CONSSo far, I have not had any issues; if I want remote support, the IT person is quite helpful and quickly gains full access to resolve the issue. TurboMeeting may occasionally freeze or cause the controller to lag. In the past, we've experienced difficulties with presenting movies and how they buffer across a private connection to faraway sites.

TurboMeeting is very reliable and R*HUB is a great technology partner!
Ease of use. Reliability. Great support from R*Hub!
PROSTurboMeeting is very easy to use for our in-house support staff, our external contractors, and our customers. In the rare situations where we need support, our rep and his team have always been quick to respond and very helpful in providing guidance and resolutions. The yearly cost of this technology is minimal compared to the excellent reliability, usability and support!
CONSWe are generally very happy with the product. Occasionally we'll run into a snag if the customer/user who we are connected to is not an Administrator on the computer, but we can verbally guide them through necessary steps while observing their desktop.

Using for meetings AND computer support AND Android phone support
Our organization uses it daily for meetings. The IT department uses it daily to reach computers off of our network or to contact computers on our network that are dropping the regular remote support tool connection (Manage Engine Desktop Central).
PROSSolid product. Easy to use. Can run from the installed application or the Internet Website interface. Works well for meetings. Works well for remote support onto computers. Allows me to see the screen on an Android phone. If there is a question or issue, (almost never) the support staff is great.
CONSWe started to use this product for cell phone support for our users. When viewing an Android phone, I can't CONTROL the Android phone with the software, only view it.

One of the best tools for cooperation with reasonable prices
The feature of online conferencing made possible by this solution helps our teams work more effectively. It is regularly used by our company for meetings. Highly advised for those looking to save subscription costs, increase productivity with limitless usage, and strengthen brand identification with the appliance's numerous customization and integration features.
PROSIt is quick and simple to use. I've supported a number of elderly and computer-illiterate persons, and they were willing to allow me remote access to their systems. It is dependable, affordable, packed with features, and simple to install and maintain. I like that TurboMeeting can be used for both meetings and remote access sessions so that our IT personnel can help us with any technical issues. Possibility of on-site server hosting Total cost of licencing and maintaining the platform Syncing with Outlook
CONSSadly, this is due to hosting the on-premises solution. The trade-off was that we were constrained by the capabilities of our own network. We've had issues with videos being shown and how they buffer via a private connection to remote locations. For the appliance to provide your consumers with a respectable level of service, you do need a reliable and speedier Internet connection.

It is WebEx in a box
Highly recommended to those who want to cut the related subscription expenses, improve productivity with the unlimited usage and enhance business identity through various customization and integration functions provided by the appliance. If you are in finance and legal business where security is critical, you won't find a better alternative.
PROSThe major advantage is cost saving. It claims you can get paid back in 3-5 months compared to hosted services. I agree with it. The appliance comes with four applications: web meeting, seminar, remote support and remote access. To an SMB company, it serves its needs very well. The performance is fast and the image quality is excellent. One nice little function worth to mention is it allows you to redirect your attendees to your website at the end of each session. The installation is fairly easy taking around 15 minutes. Once it is done, leave it alone and it will self-update. The support staff is knowledgeable and very helpful.
CONSYou do need a stable and faster Internet connection in order to deliver a decent service to your customers by the appliance. I would recommend you should use a cable Internet connection. A DSL connection is a stretch. Also, as a part of the total costs, you need to consider the optional 20% annual service fees (after the first 12 months) to cover the software upgrade, support and hardware warranty.

Buy this instead of WebEx, or GoToMeeting, etc. It really is a replacement and 1/10 the cost.
Enterprise level software for small business pricing, you'll be happy you bought Turbo Meeting.
PROSIt does everything we need that all the big names do at a fraction of the cost. I think there is a conspiracy by the large corporations to suppress knowledge of TurboMeeting. Buy this, you won't regret it. Their licensing and pricing model is exactly what we needed.
CONSThere may have been a bug in the past about integrating the API with our website for users to sign up for webinars, but honestly it's not a feature we had much need for and may have already been fixed with a software update.

An amazing product at a very reasonable price point.
My group meetings are now able to connect representatives that are unable to travel to meetings. We see them on the screen and they see those at the meeting table --- it is almost like having them at the table. Audio is also heard both ways. This has added great value to the meetings, and to my business. This is state-of-the-art for this industry.
