PheedLoop vs. WebinarJam

Pheedloop tends to be an answer to most of our virtual event needs, from tradeshows to shorter webinars. The one area that I find Pheedloop to be less of an option is when we need attendees to use mobile devises and we are not using the native meet and stream for streaming, as integrations for streaming don't translate to the app.

WebinarJam is a great tool if you are a small to mid-sized company and want to set up/schedule webinars and let the software do its job (capture your presentation and analytics). It looks professional, is used by many professionals/leaders, and is a fraction of the cost of other well-known brands. If cost doesn't matter to you, then you might as well go with a higher paying product. Also, WebinarJam audio is only accessed via the internet, there is not a conference call phone line system

• Landing pages. The designs are pretty limited and repetitive, our company is always using our own designs.
• Text limitations. You don't have a lot of room when it comes to text and webinar descriptions during the setup. If you stay away from long titles you should be good.
• Pricing. The tool is definitely not cheap. If you're not planning to have regular webinars on it, you should look into something smaller and more budget-friendly.

The platform is really hard to use and they have a habit of pushing out updates without telling their users first. The last update completely reverted all of our customizations back to the default EverWebinar layout. I only found out about this after a lead kindly send an email to the firm letting us know that [our] registration confirmation page was showing lorem ipsum script. Customization is lacking as well

The support overall is good. In the early days, it wasn't the best but they have definitely stepped it up lately. If you have questions about the platform, issues, setup, etc, and don't mind waiting 24 hours to get a response then it's good. They may have faster response times now but when they updated to 4.0 it took a while as they were getting hammered with emails cause there were issues. It seems like they have worked out some of the kinks so I imagine their support can respond much faster now. There is no phone number to call so there is no way to get immediate help or answers which can be frustrating when you have issues right before or during your webinar

WebinarJam all around gives us more options, integrations, marketing abilities, and attendance abilities and the price is reasonable for everything we get. We use Zoom for some smaller training courses and when we need to do breakout-style training but other than that, WebinarJam is out goto. We selected WebinarJam for all the above reasons and to this date haven't had any reason to switch to anything else.

Incentivized

• Ability to reach attendees across the world
• Abilities to showcase sponsors in many different areas on the platform

• WebinarJam has very little impact on our overall business objectives, as we rarely use it for the things we focus on most now.
• We feel we never did get our money worth from the original purchase, so that is a negative impact on ROI.
• The difficulties we encountered made us realize the importance of distinguishing the difference between using a product designed for the Marketing Industry versus the Education and Training Industries.
