GoTo Training vs. Riverside.fm

Having a virtual or online meeting or training that needs multiple attendees, I would recommend using GoTo Training. Was able to see multiple cameras and have multiple people on a training at once. The best feature was able to record trainings and be able to watch them at a later time.

Riverside.fm is well suited for video content that you are recording ahead of time in order to edit and release where you are inviting people to participate that are not part of your organization. You can send them a link and they just have to go to the website and be in the conversation. There is no software to download and they do not have to worry about handling their video files after they are done.

• Some users found if you use different browsers, it affected the functions of the program.

• I have had some times where there are video glitches, and I have been told that it could be because of other software running. It would be good if the software were more robust and able to more consistently get smooth video.
• I have had a couple instances of people being kicked off and their video files were not recoverable.

User friendly, easy to follow and enjoy having the ability to record meetings for viewing pleasure. People who are more technology challenged were able to figure out GoTo Training easily and could understand directions over the phone or using the app for the first time.

When you get to the platform, it's unclear where to start. You're driven to join your "studio" and invite someone to interview...but if that's not the kind of show you're creating, it's not easy to figure out the next steps.

Never had to use the support system because things were easy to figure out without having to need to contact someone.

I have not needed to use the Riverside.fm support that much, which in itself is a good sign of how good their product is, but when I have had to use their support it was prompt, and helpful, and the people were very kind. I am glad to know there is someone there to help quickly if I am having a problem.

Prefer GoTo Training over Skype for Business. Currently using Microsoft Teams and prefer the ability to set up appointments directly with Outlook and emails

StreamYard may have fewer capabilities than Riverside.fm, but it knows exactly what it is: a place to record/stream video conversations. Riverside.fm, in trying to be all things to all users, may need to improve its UI to serve all constituents.

• Since I need their platform, which again is actually pretty good, I had to waste money to sign up again, so that I had a workable password.
• from experience, wasted weeks of going back and forth with their support team - throwing off my podcast schedule.
