Chose ON24
The user interface and functionality stacks in favor of ON24.
We use different tools for different purposes. ON24 is definitely best for live and on-demand webinars where we want to offer some live engagement with speakers. However, it falls short when it comes to reporting.
ON24 was a game changer for me after using GoTo Webinar. Not only from the capabilities but from the virtual event options available. The engagement capabilities and differences are massive with ON24 being way ahead of GoTo. I would also say the support from ON24, on-boarding …
We previously used GoToWebinar, which was fit for purpose, but we would often need to cancel webinars or change presenters at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances. There was also a bug in the system which meant 1/40 people or so just wouldn't be able to hear the …
Marketo recently launched an interactive webinars feature, but we haven't explored it in too much depth since ON24 has worked out so well for us. The integration between ON24 and Marketo is also very seamless, so it doesn't feel like we are losing anything by handling webinars …
We selected ON24 due to organizational alignment and tool consolidation but I am more than happy with the decision to move over to this tool. It has been by far the easiest and least frustrating webinar tool I have used in 5+ years of digital marketing. It allows me to bring …
ON24 is better than Microsoft Teams in every way. Teams lets you down in so many areas, especially in the biggest way - human interaction. ON24 makes webinars fun, engaging, and each company can tailor them to their needs. Teams feels like the basic "budget" option, while ON24 …
Zoom is limited on features and functions. In my opinion, a Zoom webinar just feels like a Zoom call. There isn't much to make it feel special, personal, or visually appealing. On24 makes it really easy to brand the console and the experience how you want users to see it.
Based on Client requirements we have used Third party live event softwares. Since all those having similar functionality relating to Live event. But some have different and high features. Some other software have easy navigation and Separate Hub for Some workspaces and some have …
The best part in my view is running in a browser. This is such a great thing because you get around companies having firewall or security software that can block it from running properly.
From what I've seen, ON24 is built specifically to meet the needs of event marketing (or marketing generally), versus the other platforms which are more about simply providing a mechanism to hold virtual meetings. The integration with sales and marketing systems is really …
ON24 is better than an average videoconference app because it's a holistic software that specializes in events in particular, so it's more engaging for the audience. It's different from Blackboard Collaborate because even though Blackboard Collaborate is great for college …
ON24 is a 3rd party virtual event integrated with Marketo Since we can not conduct event in Marketo ON24 full promo Marketo template clone ON24 URL, ON24 base link, event id and key tokens (event details given by marketer) ON24 Attendee Webhook trigger Once email is sent in …
It is more expiensive but the easiest to use. I think once we get Hubspot integrated properly, we will like it the best! If you have the money I think it is the best choice!
We have used In-expo way back in the day :) they did not provide the same support or confidence that ON24 has. We got with ON24 and have never looked back!
ON24 provides way more opportunities for customization of the virtual spaces. ON24 has an efficient process for uploading resources and making them accessible to the attendees. ON24 has more protection measures to ensure only registered clients can attend the sessions. ON24 …
Stream go is a smaller organisation but their ability to offer in event support as standard at no extra cost is to be applauded and very much essential when we have different people putting events on all of the time. ON24 may be better suited to large global organisations, …
I can't provide a scenario where Dryfta could be well suited. I guess it's a matter of delivering what has been promised on time, and without having to invest thousands of hours in extra work, as it was in our case. If it worked properly it could be a good tool for any conference.
ON24 has upgraded our webinar game! We used to use Go-To Webinar, which can't even add text formatting to the webinar description, so we are thrilled to use all of the customization options to align our webinar closer with our brand. We have seen an increase in registrations and participants due to this more professionally packaged webinar offering.
It has a lot of functionalities (website and administration) all included in the same platform. If it worked properly, it allows you to organise a conference paper-free.
Webinars hosted in ON24 run smoothly and never lag, and the help desk is very responsive.
Detailed analytics in every field include surveys, unique clicks, and downloads.
Registration details and multi-registration links in ON24 are very helpful and allow us to add additional registration fields and restrict certain domains.
Multilingual issues. Although it is advertised as multilingual, it didn’t really work as such. The many issues that popped up throughout the conference preparation were fixed little by little at a cost in time, from help desk emails and to struggles with the unfriendly UX.
Admin pages reloaded every time you clicked on a button (their developers seem to ignore Ajax technologies). It was time-consuming and required constant page searches.
Inflexibility in many of the supposed functionalities it offers.
Certificates were not modifiable nor custom when we had to send them (it was solved months after the conference finished when we were surprisingly contacted by the help desk).
Problems with the size of images to be displayed on the site, very small fonts and limited options to display content. We had to hire a professional developer in order to get a graphically consistent and presentable website.
Very poor mobile version. Too big margins, unreadable text, endless text blocks and lists, distorted pictures, etc.
Issues with the ordering of the authors’ names for different proposals (authorship being so important in research).
Fixed, inflexible fields in the contact sheets, speakers info, and so on.
Special character issues (due to Latin characters and other types used in linguistic research).
Not being able to include links in the HTML editor due to Dryfta's inadvertent decisions to block them.
Only one Superadmin user allowed to access the full functionalities of the platform, so we had to share it (consequently not knowing who did each action).
Problems with the generation of reports and the high complexity of their interface.
Some issues on the mandatory anonymity. The double-blind review process not fully respected due to unclear user info and options, with other issues coming up on the go such as unwanted info in automated notifications and messages in the Welcome dashboard.
Not being able to use the other payment methods on the platform because they were incompatible with the conference country.
Missing information and time wasted when creating events for sessions with info that already existed in the server that randomly failed to be selected. These issues were reported even with video proofs (help desk didn’t believe us), and were never solved. We had to repeat the same processes again and again, never knowing what was going on
There was a recent update within the past year where the UX designer or developer thought it would be best to wide all titles from the audience view until they placed their mouse on top of the window. That was the worst mistake, as we have a moderator script where we tell the audience what each of the tool bars are and they can’t grasp what the tool is without putting their mouse there. From an accessibility standpoint point, it’s back to 1999 when there was no laws about accessibility.
Number one above is a major pain point.
ON24 needs to do a better job of introducing features and soliciting feedback from their customers vs making a high impactful change like #1 described above.
Our Marketing team has seen significant time savings with the number of webinars we produce since using ON24. It's very scalable, and the onboarding and training for a new team member is fairly easy. The customer support of the ON24 team has also been impressive. They also release new feature on a fairly regular basis, and the webinars they do focused on customers are beneficial.
97% of our attendees say it is the best trainings they have every attended. But they other 3% have a horrible experience (while watching the event live) interesting fact. On24 uses two different encoders for live vs OnDemand. I have never had issues with the On-Demand experience. My only complaints come during live events
ON24 is always available when I have a question about a new feature, if I'm having issues during a live webinar, or if I'm having issues with a webinar on the backend. Our client support specialist, Heather Haines, has always been incredibly consistent with getting me the answers I need when I need them.
Loading depends on how large the files in the webinar for us - sometimes it takes up to an hour to upload and that impacts the loading when the webcast is playing. Overall I'm happy with the performance, however if integrated with other systems it does tend to slow down the process
It was quick, that's all we can say. Quite a few times they sorted out the problems and issues. But, sadly, sometimes their answers were useless and irritating (not addressing the problem or simply ignoring it, "passing the buck"). In some cases, they pretended the problem didn't exist and we had to send them videos as proof. No response to that.
ON24 support is really good with the 24/5 support chat line, where someone actually responds within 30 seconds. The customers success team is also really good and our rep is very helpful with all our questions. Whenever we have more technical questions, she will bring on a IT designer or a tech specialist on our calls for additional comments and help.
On24 has amazing ON-Demand trainings that you can use at anytime and they walk you through step by step on different topics/ they are always updating and innovating and putting out new trainings. I would highly reccomend the trainings and reading the documents they have created. They also do live webinars on a rolling basis that are filled with so much knowledge and Information
We had a few training's, which were broken up, and focused on specific areas of how to use the platform. Mostly though, a lot of it is just dedicating your time to learning and exploring what the possibilities are for enhancing your webinars
ON24 was a game changer for me after using GoTo Webinar. Not only from the capabilities but from the virtual event options available. The engagement capabilities and differences are massive with ON24 being way ahead of GoTo. I would also say the support from ON24, on-boarding was also miles ahead from what I have been used too
The ON24 platform is straightforward to use and train clients on, which is a huge plus. Clients appreciate its features and simplicity. Internally, we receive valuable analytical data from webinar events, enabling the organization to make data-driven decisions. This helps us optimize strategies and drive success for B2B businesses effectively.
The overall performance was okay in the end, but it was due to our team's commitment and effort. Without that extra work, the results would have been awful.
