BigMarker vs. Livestorm vs. MangoApps

Being a user of BigMarker I am fully satisfied
with their program and the features they are offering to me. Clear UI with easy
to use interface helping me a lot to set up everything in minutes. Definitely
recommend this masterpiece to other business to use it for effective virtual
collaborations.

Livestorm is well suited to use when you need to reach a group of more than ten people. It wouldn't be a good solution if you wanted interaction from the audience in more than the form of chat.

The ability to create optional interest groups for users to join if they like is a great way brings users together, and promote group meet ups and events. The polls ability is always great for taking a quick check of people's availability, we've used it to gauge interest in events and dates. One thing that could be improved is that there is both a messaging and an instant message functionality which seems a little redundant having users being able to message you from different places in separate inboxes, however this may be due to our set up.

The dashboard is very easy to use, I have been using
this as a go-to platform in the pandemic days and still using it for online webinars
and virtual screening. All features and functions are well organized. I have been very much impressed by their support staff.

Making sure the permission settings for your camera, microphone or browser can sometimes be tricky. If we have a guest, we always have to double-check these. It's also not super intuitive that you need to "Get on Stage" from the webinar page.

There have been occasions that we needed to get in touch with support to help get a template design to look a specific way. They are always quick to reply on their chat and have had their design team fix issues for us in no time

The customer service representatives are extremely attentive. They do an excellent job of trying to understand the scope of the issue and follow it through until it has been resolved. When I have provided them with recommendations for improvement they have taken them to heart and many times implemented them. I trust that if I ever have a problem they will be there to help

I've been using this for so long I honestly don't know what else is out there. I am THAT satisfied!

Although, Facebook at Work featured a very modern interface and was praised by many of the beta testers, we primarily didn't choose Facebook at Work due to data security reasons.
