Likelihood to Recommend It's highly suitable for hosting large-scale virtual events like industry conferences, product launches, and training sessions where engaging a dispersed audience is crucial. The platform's interactive features such as polls, Q&A, and surveys make it ideal for enhancing audience participation and feedback collection. Moreover, it's excellent for businesses conducting regular webinars for lead generation, sales presentations, or educational purposes. Its analytics help in assessing attendee engagement and refining content strategies. However, it might be less appropriate for smaller, more intimate meetings where real-time collaboration and video conferencing take precedence over one-to-many presentations. In such cases, simpler and more direct communication tools might be preferred. Additionally, if a company requires highly specialised integrations or customisation options beyond what GoToWebinar offers, they might find limitations within the platform. Lastly, for organisations with stringent security needs or those operating in highly regulated industries, they might need to ensure that GoToWebinar's security measures align with their specific compliance requirements before use.
Read full review AnyMeeting Pro is an easy-to-use tool and it is very resourceful as it comes with most features you would need for video conferencing and basic interactions. AnyMeeting conferencing eases most video conferencing issues. Most users can perform a video conferencing session at any time for strategy meetings or large groups. One of the features we enjoyed was seeing so many coworker's faces during the pandemic. It kept us connected with everyone.
Read full review Pros It is reliable when sharing content for webinars. It allows nice interaction with the attendees by having different features such as polls, chat, open mic or cam. It is user friendly and intuitive, which makes it so easy to use and understand. Read full review Ease of use -- setting up a meeting is quick and simple, and so is presenting. PowerPoints can be pre-loaded into the system and displayed/controlled without screen-sharing. Questions and Answers are easily managed in a platform that allows you to view them in a single pane and dismiss them as you answer. Customization of registration forms -- gather the information you need from your registrants. Live Chat is always quick and helpful. The webinar system is browser-based, even for presenters, so you can present from anywhere without needing to download an application. Built-in time zone converter on our webinar registration pages is useful, as we invite companies worldwide to our webinars. Read full review Cons Dashboard for control are mostly intuitive but in some menus like the webcasting section can be cluttered The current polling and survey capabilities are too simple. More advanced features, such as branching logic and real-time results, would make engagement more dynamic and insightful. Although it's easy for organiser to use goto webinar, users have reported issues and long wait time on their end and they don't have much control over the session Read full review It could be clearer, from an admin standpoint, which meeting options allow you to record, prior to setting up the meeting. I don't use it frequently enough to remember which type of meeting will allow me to record, and it takes an extra minute to figure this out when I schedule meetings ahead of time.

Read full review Likelihood to Renew Our largest issue with GoTo have been the limitations on recording and using recordings to host a webinar, and the biggest of those is the ability to record. We have had most of our webinars recorded successfully, but when it failed to save, it failed in a big way. Their customer service team was there to help, but they were unable to truly fix the problem. There are, of course, other providers, but as we are still seeing where hosted webinars fit in our marketing strategy, cost is an important factor. Since our company already uses GoToMeeting, it makes more sense for us to stay with the entire suite of products, especially while we are testing the strategy as a whole.
Read full review Usability Mostly about the platform's intuitive interface. It makes it easy to navigate and use. Clear menus, well-organized controls, and a straightforward layout contribute to a positive user experience. The reliability of the platform in terms of connection stability, audio quality, and video clarity contributes to overall usability. A dependable connection ensures a smooth experience for both hosts and participants.
Read full review I give it a nine due to no fault really of the software. It mostly has to deal with buffering and bandwidth issues that could cause the program to not perform as promised. However, this is an area where most also fail. Our current software is horrible in comparison. Not being a decision-maker keeps us from enjoying AnyMeeting Pro on a more common basis. I would rather use this than Teams.
Read full review Support Rating I was always able to get someone on the phone when I needed to. They were very thorough and ensuring my questions were answered. And if I was asking for a solution or request that they didn't offer, they told me so I could at least stop trying to search for it.
Read full review Never had to deal with customer support myself. I was told by our tech team that they were pretty responsive and again most issues could not be resolved due to the bandwidth of those attending meetings. The higher the bandwidth the more amazing the performance and the overall meeting flow and results.
Read full review Implementation Rating I didn't participate in the implementation nor did my company. As far as I know we have an IT office running alla these projects and we just use the final products for our educational purposes. I also didn't notice implementation at any level while using the desktop interface, but would immediately recognize it, if so.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Zoom caters to a much higher attendee count. GoTo Webinar has more intuitive, user-friendly tools that most people can pick up on their own. Zoom is more tailored and customizable to suit your specific needs. GoTo Webinar is significantly cheaper with fewer add-ons....
Read full review AnyMeeting's free version beats Zoom's free version because of the time limit Zoom imposes on free meetings. However, when going for a paid version, Zoom outperforms AnyMeeting's paid version. The video quality seems to be higher in Zoom. There is also more features available in Zoom as a whole, and I've never had someone not be able to join the Zoom meeting.
Read full review Scalability It's inexpensive enough that you can set up multiple accounts if needed
Read full review Return on Investment GoTo Webinar has been an excellent way to stay relevant and to get current topics/information to our target audience. We usually get 100-200 attendees per session in a niche market, many are international attendees The ability to get specific data from the audience via custom registration questions allows us to really focus on what they want to see. Read full review AnyMeeting made it easier and faster for me and my team to set up online meetings and conference calls, thus saving quite a bit of time. Due to some over runs of meetings, I have to have a back up service just in case. Read full review ScreenShots Intermedia AnyMeeting Pro Screenshots
