GoToWebinar

GoToWebinar is great for allowing easy registration and identification of those who registered and attended the webinar and how long they stayed on. The Q&A report is good for targeting only those who asked questions during the webinar. The audiovisual quality has been good for people who join from all parts of the world. The auto-record on start feature is nice and the recording quality is good. The auto attachment of the recording to the follow-up emails is also a nice feature.

Easy to set up and have people attend and very scalable for large audiences. Very few audio/visual problems. The automatic email replies to attendees and registrants with a link to the webinar recording are very useful. Also, it is easy to track precisely who and how many people have registered and attended at any time.

GoToWebinar is very easy to use in terms of setting up new webinars, conducting the webinars, and using reports to follow up with attendees and registrants. Presenters can easily see their narrator notes on a separate screen. And it is easy to invite people outside the organization as guest presenters and panelists.

GoToWebinar, much like many of the GoTo products is very easy to use. I find that it is one of the better platforms for first-time participants and first-time instructors. The ability to have multiple presenters also makes this an incredibly versatile product. Many times the classes that we host have several different experts in class, allowing students to have access to a panel of experts. Being able to quickly and efficiently pass presenting from one person to the other gives the students in the class a seamless learning experience.

The platform itself is very strong and stable. At times there are issues with audio making it difficult to present. While these instances are few and far between, the frustration of audio loss can be seen in satisfaction surveys of students. I would like to see improvements in the audio stream to not only improve stability but also add multiple speakers at once.

GoToWebinar is probably the easiest of all the platforms to use. I particularly like that people are directed step by step what to do as soon as they click on the meeting link. The ability to join through the application itself or through the web makes the student experience much easier allowing them to focus on the actual presentation. Once inside the webinar, the user interface is laid out in a very logical manner. I find, as a technical trainer, that having an intuitive layout makes the overall experience less frustrating.

It is a good tool to start with if your organization is small and has minimal requirements. Sound quality or volume has been an issue even though our internet is really good. If you need to broadcast your events to Facebook or youtube you have to look at other options as well.

Overall it is a good product however there are 2 main issues [that] made me give a lower rating.
1. Volume most of [the] feedback we received was about the volume and audio quality.
2. Inability to integrate and broadcast the events live on facebook and youtube.
Some of the technology needs to be updated and upgraded.

I would say overall it is quite useful and easy to use. There are only 3 main issues that we have with this tool.
1. Price value I would say for [the] same quality it is more expensive than some of the other services like Zoom.
2. Audio quality, lots of feedback about audio quality even though our internet is quite good.
3. Inability to broadcast the events live to social media platforms.

GoToWebinar is great for sharing content with a large group of people, but it could use some work on the interactivity of sessions. Virtual events have become more interactive and need to be more than just a webcam/presentation these days. By enabling more audience interaction features, I think it would be used more by Enterprise companies.

You can easily copy webinars and set new webinars up. There isn't a way to create a meeting for all speakers - each speaker, presenter, or co-organizer needs to do that themselves, or you have to set up a Google/Outlook calendar request separately. There have been a few times where the session has dropped out, but only in rehearsals and never live.

Very easy to use, and has had some great improvements in the last few years. About 2 years ago, I considered switching, but the new features that allow you to see what you're presenting, practice, and auto-record has made being a GoToWebinar host much more laid back and easy to do.

This platform is the perfect way to host panel discussions or give educational "lectures" that are virtual.

We've had multiple GoToWebinar live events, to which only a couple have had live glitches. This could be due to a high volume of use during that time of the day (at least that's what representatives at GoToWebinar told us).

Besides a few live glitches we had in the past, everything else has gone smoothly with GoToWebinar and we've been happily using it with outside publications and associations on behalf of our client.

My experience with using GoToWebinar has been very smooth & good. It's fairly an easy tool to understand, having so many basic features that make it very easy to understand for almost any customer & end-user. So this tool doesn't assume anyone to have any pre-requisite as anyone can pick it up right from the start.

GoToWebinar is a very versatile & reliable tool for the kind of pre-built features it comes with. It has a very easy-on-the-eyes UI & not so complicated components which make it a go-to tool for conducting virtual webinars.

I have given this rating for its overall user experience & the kind of problems it helps us tackle with a lot of features.

Well suited for hosting external demos, webinars, internal webinars. It gives the ability to present to groups of individuals and allows attendees to share content on the platform.

It does what it was built to do

GoToWebinar is a very easy-to-use platform, for live/on-demand/simu-live webinars. [It is] well suited for company events, lead generation events, end marketing events, selling events, people who want to sell an online web product, teachers, schools, language schools. Training: for company, for per to per training. [It's also good for] church events, all kinds of online events that you want to have information from the audience. But, GoToWebinar is it is less appropriate for high-quality videos and streaming. (That's the only coin that it has)

GoToWebinar is very reliable in my opinion. It has a lot of features that can help you immerse [yourself] in this webinar world without any problem. You can schedule webinars, duplicate/copy a webinar, edit webinar information, use old webinars, do a simu-live webinar, that will happen and you don't need to do [anything] else... all automatically. GoToWebinar has a status page blog that you can access [as well].

GoToWebinar deserves [a] 10 considering its overall usability. Anyone that can join a Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Webex call can do a live webinar even a simu-live webinar. You create the webinar page in 2 steps: Select the date/theme/time/webinar type. Insert the webinar information, e-mail reminders, webinar bio, speakers bio, survey questions, UTM links, etc... So in just 2 pages, you have created your webinar!!!

We mostly recommend GoToWebinar because of the native integration with various marketing automation tools. That makes life easy for the marketer to get the webinar data very easily with the status sync in the marketing automation platform. The platform is very smooth for the attendees to get the webinar information easily with the interactive layout.

We have various options within the tool like Q&A and the personalized layout in the GoToWebinar. We can do the poll between the audience to make it more interactive. There [is an] option [where] we can do custom branding of our website to make it consistent for the end-user. The network security of the tool is strong enough to handle any unwanted attacks.

Nowadays webinar is the initial requirement of any organization to reach [a] wider audience with effective communication to inform about [their] product and services. GoToWebinar is helping the marketer to increase [their] popularity within the audience without putting [a] hefty amount on the offline events. Due to [their] strong network connectivity it is very easy to watch the live or on-demand recording for the user.

External webinars are great to run through GoToWebinar. We've done it a few times for internal webinars but without being able to have people ask questions through voice makes things difficult. Anytime you want to stick with Q&A through the chat function, using GoToWebinar is perfect to present to large groups of people remotely.

GoToWebinar solved many of the audio issues we were having with our previous webinar platform. Scheduling assistance during the event is simple and we've always had fantastic help on the line. They're very professional and assist the webinar attendees with any technical questions they may have. They're also wonderful in helping the presenters get comfortable with the platform.

GoToWebinar is simple and easy to use. There are various ways you can get assistance if you need help. We've integrated it into Pardot and it's quick and easy now to set up new webinars and copy over previous landing pages in order to set up new events really quickly and with limited effort.

GoToWebinar is a time-tested application to conduct large-scale discussions and training, and works really well not just for internal purposes, but also externally. Of all the other competitors, GoToWebinar is one of the oldest (not as much as Citrix) and most time tested. We routinely use it with our clients as well as to conduct training, because, unlike other alternatives, GoToWebinar doesn't need a full-fledged software install to attend the webinar and the light web version works just as well.

We have used GoToWebinar for years now and absolutely recommend them because it's reliable and has [a] host of features which makes it a must-have. It lacks the shiny new features some of the competitors offer such as AI-based tools and other cosmetic features but what it lacks there, it makes up by being [a] robust tool that does what it says it does. Managing the events is [a] breeze as well with their plugins.

As mentioned earlier, it's a very reliable tool that can handle large online events of any and all natures. Whether it's internal training and quarterly meet with the CEO or the training sessions at your client, it can do all of that and in a very reliable fashion. The plugins it comes with are very good for productivity.

GoToWebinar is well suited for scheduling a live webinar with participants up to 1000, but not for over 1000 participants. GoToWebinar is great when you are educating people on a product or service but not for a 2way conversation or questions that cannot be answered over chat. I also like the ability to get a spreadsheet of the individuals who signed up so I can follow up with them immediately and over a course of time or assign them out to a group so we can reach out to them in a window of time.

GoToWebinar is [extremely] easy to use in terms of scheduling, [event management,] follow-up, adding documents, pulling reports, and sharing documents with attendees. It's easy to run and keep private for a small group/company so they can feel comfortable asking questions that might only pertain to them. Having the option of the recording is helpful for those who cannot attend and the only thing I've ever had happen is I started with no volume or on mute and wish it was more obvious if [you are] on mute so you don't [waste] time.

I find the GoToWebinar is a perfect fit for the purpose of why I use it, presenting to clients within a specific company. I can present to multiple companies over a span of a month and it [is] effective and easy to schedule and use. I'm able to see how many are registered and can determine [the] future frequency and it helps guide if I should schedule more or less and what day of the week/month works best for that company based on respondents. So many details make it easy to see what is working and what isn't.

GoToWebinar is best suited for companies that are presenting information in a single event or in a series, need to train a large number of people internally or externally, have an educational focus or component to their company, or are looking to easily expand and share their expertise through connecting people across the country, continent, or world. Scenarios where GoToWebinar would be less appropriate in the situations where you'd hope to connect and interact with your attendees in a more 'team' style, in this case, I would recommend Go to Meeting instead. However, GoToWebinar does have very good interaction tools -- just better suited to mirror the amount of interaction you'd get from a large audience in person (hand raising, chiming in, etc.).

GoToWebinar was awesome when it came to scheduling our events, and made it easy to set up recurring events -- for example, our educational series was approximately 24 events, once a week, over a period of a few months. This worked very well for that context. We had registrants sign up, and from there, they received reminder emails for each event. I think this helped in securing attendance each week. It was nice to be able to plug in our logo and some 'branding materials' like customizing the colors on the screen and email. It could be improved by increasing the number of locations you're able to personalize the webinars, and perhaps have an easy way through the software to send a 'thank you for attending email' immediately after the registrant signs out of the event.

Overall, usability is pretty seamless (PLUS, I have to say their customer support was pretty helpful every time I had to reach out for clarification or troubleshooting, which wasn't often - but they always helped right away and were very, very useful to us. Compared to other programs we tried like Vimeo, it was a whole other level of care.)

GoToWebinar is professional, clean, and looks good from both sides -- whether you're the attendee, moderator, AND/OR presenter.

[GoToWebinar] is great for conducting webinars in general. It is a widely used & accepted online program, which makes it user-friendly. It is easy to set up webinars, and easy to execute them. It is also relatively affordable if your organization hosts many webinars, but it may be worth [GoToWebinar] to explore or allow one-off use of the platform instead of requiring a subscription.

I give [GoToWebinar] a 9 out of 10 because no platform is perfect. As mentioned, [GoToWebinar] is rather easy to use as an administrator/organizer, and most presenters/panelists have told me they have very few problems with it. The Handouts section is very nice to have. A more enhanced polling feature may be useful.

[GoToWebinar] is very user-friendly and easy to set up, use, and navigate as an administrator.

This is one of the best options I have ever tried for webinars and webcasts, and, of course, GoToMeeting, which is also included, helps a lot with online in-team or cross-team communications. I didn't have any issues with GoToWebinar or GoToMeeting, perhaps for some users, it's a minus that this software requires a setup.

GoToWebinar has a very wide feature list, that covers all our needs: event planning and promotion, webcasts, recordings, different templates, customization options, scheduling, polls and surveys, granular reporting and analytics, and much more. This is a great choice for marketing and tech teams for getting the best results from webinars and online collaboration.

This is a very good product and a good concept overall. I can't even remember some tech or any other issues connected with this software, stable, fast and reliable, good audio and video quality, a lot of useful functionalities, reports, and more. I think we'll continue to use it for many years.

GoToWebinar is well suited to help ease the burden on our workers by allowing for real-time collaboration with our vendors, which, in turn, allows our issues to get resolved quicker than say, email threads.

GoToWebinar is a leader in its field and has always been reliable to my organization.

GoToWebinar's usability is next to none. It's easy to manage multiple users at once while collaborating.

It's good for situations when you don't need a lot of customization. It's also good for rookie presenters because most controls are fairly intuitive for presenters.

The Q&A feature is lacking. You only have the ability to direct a question to a single presenter. There's no way for all presenters to see a question simultaneously (unless you make them event producers -- but that would give them far too many controls that they shouldn't have).

Aside from the difficulty in sharing a PowerPoint presentation on a single screen, it's fairly intuitive for new users who are giving a presentation. We can get them up and running with minimal coaching.

Great for lead-gen webinars! The interface is easy to understand and you can be up and running in just a few days. We pay annually, and the cost is quite reasonable for the amount of usage we get from it (two webinars per month). For more technical webinars or virtual events where there is more interaction, downloads, etc., another platform like Maestro may be better.

We have had very few issues. The platform is very reliable. We are live on it two times per month and we don't worry about technical glitches or issues. We run a test webinar with all of the presenters two days out just so everyone can see the interface and be comfortable with it. We've never had a problem with a guest presenter using the platform.

It is easy for newbies on our team to understand how to use GoToWebinar after just a little exposure to it. The UI is very intuitive. Also our guest presenters take to the platform very quickly. The Q&A box is a little difficult to navigate since it is small, but otherwise, no complaints.

I have recommended GoToWebinar to colleagues and clients. I believe that it is a little on the expensive side, but it works. If you're using webinars to sell a product, usually, you can recoup your investment with the sales that result from a well-done webinar. GoToWebinar ensures that things work and that your webinar goes off without a hiccup.

I have never had GoToWebinar fail during a live webinar. I have worked with other webinar platforms that have not worked during a live webinar delivery, which ended up in a loss of sales. I would recommend GoToWebinar if you need a software that works every single time without an issue or hiccup.

GoToWebinar is a little bit difficult to learn how to use. I believe it was designed by engineers and not by an end-user experience expert. I would recommend having a techy person on your team handle the set-up and all the integrations you need for GoToWebinar. There are plenty of helpful video tutorials on YouTube. Still, if you're the type of person that finds it difficult connecting multiple pieces of software to work together in automation, then it may be best to outsource or delegate that task.

Although there is certainly room for improvement, the close integration with Hubspot, the overall ease of use, and the price point make this a tool I would still recommend for a traditional webinar. It would not work for those that would like break-out rooms and more advanced functionality. The lack of backgrounds is a concern.

The interface is a bit confusing at times. It feels like you have to search to update certain things like the waiting room slide. This means if someone new is helping out they may miss it which leads to the issue of the wrong webinar name and presenters displaying day off. An overall preview functionality without having to click into each section once you have finalized the setup would be a great addition.

The tool is easy to use, but not always very straightforward. There are areas of auto-generated emails that are populated in such a way that is not always straightforward. This can get missed and errors can occur. But, overall, everyone on my team has been able to use the tool to set up a webinar.

GoToWebinar is well suited for a mid-sized business that needs to have an online presentation application to communicate.

GoToWebinar performs as expected every time we use it.

Platform is intuitive and easy to use from both an attendee and a user perspective.

It's best for internal calls or to connect with client/vendor meetings. Seamless connectivity and clear audio and video output make it easy to communicate with others. Screen sharing is very easy with large audiences and works well with low bandwidth. I think GoToWebinar is a complete package for corporate use and best in the market.

Its easy and straight forward graphic interface where anyone can use it and It is very much flexible for event scheduling, event management. We have been using for long time. Life make easy when its comes about meeting / screen sharing and video/Audio conference calls and they have excellent customer support. Thanks to Webinar!

Top notch product! Simple and best in the market.

GoToWebinar works well if you already have HubSpot and you want to build custom landing pages/webforms instead of using every webinar provider's stock pages. It also works well as a relatively robust platform. If you are looking for 100% consistency and guarantee that it will be reliable in all circumstances, then I would look at another provider. Like I mentioned previously, we host multiple 1+ hour webinars and are often confronted with technical issues.

As mentioned, the system struggles with webinars over an hour. Whether it's one of my panelist's computers, their internet connections, etc., it seems like it's a server overload on the GTW side and we've tried multiple solutions and unfortunately none of them pan out. It's a great platform; however, every time I host a webinar I feel I have to sit on the edge of my seat in expectation that something could go wrong.

Overall GoToWebinar is a fairly simple platform to use. We haven't had any major issues with learning it or adopting it. I would say it is on par with its competitors. There are a few quirks regarding setup of panelists and hosts; however, their FAQ and email support is very good and has solved many of our problems.

Training, Product Demonstrations, Group Discussions.

I've never had any issues.

As I mentioned, it works great for us and I've never had any issues.

[GoToWebinar] works great for a live webinar where multiple panelists give their own presentations. I don't know how well this would work for something with a lot of audience participation.

For myself, this has worked great. It's very easy to use and I can put together a webinar in minutes. It's never crashed on me once during a webinar. I'd rate it perfectly if it would reliably work on our presenter's computers.

[GoToWebinar] is an easy product to get into. Setting up a webinar takes a few minutes once you get the hang out it. The moderator controls are easy to use as well.
