    BrightTALK
    BrightTalk is well suited for those who cannot always attend live webinars, and can browse through many uploaded webinars. It integrates well with other organizations and provides an ease for what your organization might want to promote. I believe BrightTalk would be best suited for companies with a large employee base.

    I would recommend to anyone managing a venue that books events, especially venues with larger teams. It's great to keep the whole lead generation cycle organized from start to close. It's also great to have analytics and reporting to be able to provide to our accountant, or see trends and changes in our business.

    Cons
    BrightTALK
    • Our sphere is healthcare and I would appreciate even more customization to this sector.
    • Sometimes a shorter webinar would be preferred, an hour is a long time in today's demanding marketplace.
    • More of the local live events, love these.

    Very easy to use! Once you get your venue details set up and menus added in, it's extremely user friendly. It's also easy to make changes to settings as needed or add new menus, lead forms, contract templates, etc. Anyone that can work an email system can easily use it.

    BrightTALK
    GoToMeeting is less expensive but does not provide access to a database of users or a good platform to showcase recorded webinars in a channel. BrightTalk is created more as a marketing and content hub so is better for marketing activities.

    Tripleseat
    Tripleseat is far superior to anything else we have used. The ease of use is unmatched. Many other systems are still very outdated. Tripleseat does a really good job of staying on top of industry trends and advancements, and listening to what their customers are asking for. I wouldn't switch back to any other platform.
