If price is not an object, I would always prefer ON24 rather than webinar.net. However, ON24 is much more expensive. Webinar.net is owned by 6Connex, so the integration of webinar.net in 6Connex is recommended if you need to host a webinar in a 6Connex environment. Support staff is nice, but not knowledgeable enough and takes too long. When a presenter plays a video they get muted automatically, even if the video has no sound! So you then have to either unmute the speaker yourself or having him/her doing it which adds to the stress of the moment. We have had a few cases when email reminders didn't go out, even if programmed and saved correctly.

Cons
BigMarker
  • Really need BigMarker to create a white label offering so I can embed it into my website without hassle for members to sign up.
  • Would love to be able to stream my webinars to Facebook and other social platforms.
  • Need picture resizing to be working well because a lot of my pictures are not resized automatically.

Usability
BigMarker
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.

webinar.net
The audience screen doesn't adjust automatically, not even on mobile phones; connection for presenters is difficult, taking time to support them and many times leaving them a bit frustrated. For us, it is not ideal the time it takes to publish content and also the time and quality of the support team replies. However, it has great potential for improvement.

Support Rating

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

They are very kind and readily available online and off-line; however they hardly know the answers and always need to check, making it very lengthy process and sometimes it feels like a bit of a waste of time too. I would suggest they are given more training to start with

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

webinar.net
webinar.net was adopted by our company to replace ON24 since it is much cheaper. We use it in combination with Slido, sometimes. It serves large one-way webinars (up to 1,000 attendees) with limited interaction (polls and Q&A), while for smaller and more interactive online events we keep using Microsoft Teams Meetings or Webinars and Zoom Meetings.
