GoTo Webinar Review
We use GoTo Webinar to host our online training events. We have used these to delivery training for organisations with a larger number of employees, as well as open events for SME's and single business owners to join. It's enabled us to deliver our training online where before, we were doing a lot of face to face training. Because of the additional event scheduling features, we've also been ableto streamline our communication with event atendees.

- Event communications
- Integrating with CRM
- Mobile user experience could be improved
- Integration with some other products

Goto Webinar is great for small & medium sized business who are looking to get started
It's a great all-in-one virtual event platform that we've used including some customizable modes, insightful analytics, powerful integrations, and flexible pricing, and works with all sized groups that we've had to schedule.
- analytics

GoTo Webinar if you'd like your Webinar to success
I used GoTo Webinar to streamline our communication in support for both internal and external queries.
We build physical product and support is essential either it's in house technician or external.
We build physical product and support is essential either it's in house technician or external.
- It's extremely easy to contact and send invitation the webinar required and the control is very intuitive
- Ability to track attendance and from the data we can generate very useful graph and vis for our metrics
- Multi presenter webinar are also useful in cases where there are multiple presenters
- 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

GoToWebinar: it increased our audience and so can you
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
We needed a way to bring new educational content to our audience. We use GoTo to host a monthly, a bi-monthly, and occasional paid commercial webinars. We initially charged non-members to view the webinars but the exposure to a larger audience during COVID made us change these to free for anyone. In addition to the live webinars, we also keep the recordings in a library for users to view later.
- The webinars are easy to set up and schedule
- Admin controls during the webinar are easy to use and pretty self-explanatory
- Automatic recordings are great.
- Attendee/registration reports are helpful
- You can't blur your background when using a webcam. Zoom has been doing this forever and this seems like a pretty big omission.
- Invited panelists can't test their screenshare/audio/video on their own so we have to schedule sessions to do this.
- We have a lot of repeat speakers/panelists, not having the ability to save their information for easy access can be a pain.
- You can't add hyperlinks or attach files to the automated attendee/registrant emails.
- You only get one login per license and cannot substitute emails. This is a real pain if the licensed person needs someone else to run a webinar every now and then because only the licensed person receives the backup panelist invites. Even being able to add a cced individual to those emailed invites would be a big help.

GoTo Webinar -- More Trustworthy Than Zoom
We are a small non-profit with state-wide reach. I inherited our GoTo Webinar when I started working at Washington Health Alliance almost 7 years ago. GoTo Webinar includes a free version of GoTo Meeting as well so, theoretically, we can have 2 events going on simultaneously. When the Covid emergency began we increased both the number of administrating staff and meeting participants. We lost our building conference room for which we needed the 800 number so we just cancelled that. We had meetings twice a week that included health care, health plan, government, pharmaceutical and research organizations. One of our member organizations created for another member organization a live dashboard. We were the venue for these organizations to connect so made all these meetings happen using GoTo Webinar. After we got the vaccines developed and distributed, the need for such big meetings (200-500) decreased and GoTo let us change our contract to reduce our staffing and attending needs. They have an amazing video library to host recordings of all these meetings, as well as our member-only All-Alliance meetings (going back 10 years). I do not see an end to our relationship with GoTo Webinar.
- Responsive to customers changing needs
- Maintenance of video library
- Not raising prices or trying to upsell with every communication
- Social usage like Zoom did so that Zoom became more accepted because it was pushed on the individual sale with a "free" option until it became the normalized product
- Having 1 login for billing, Meetings and webinar and being able to select the product after login rather than having 3 different sites

Users take
From a user standpoint, I cannot think of any particular issues that I have run into while using Goto Webinar. It seems to be easy to navigate and works smoothly. The quality of the product is good and allows many users to be on it all at once without having to be on site or lagging/slowing down the webinar.
- Easy to use
- Stable
- Straightforward
- Add more functions for the user end

GoTo Webinar-Discover a better experience
We have client who is in educational verticals. Where they use on- demand webinars regular basis . They have Students who need to fill customize registration forms, so they get alert before the webinar. GoTo Webinar best suited their environment, because its facilitates hosting on-line events. The platform language options like French, English and other languages it can be access from any device.
- Customize registrations pages
- Live answers notifications
- Call-to -action button
- SAML SSO integration is missing which to use single password to access multiple applications.
- Question Upvotes is missing where we wants to know rationality of any questions asked in on live webinar .
- Emoji reaction-which is basic features now days.

The GoTo of Webinars
I use it as a virtual meeting tool. I am able to share diagrams and drawings and have other participants interact. My next project is for training using the company's email services. I have several remote users and this will allow me the ability to give them the training resources without the expense of bringing them to the office.
- Allows multiple people to take control of the training
- Gives the operator the ability to upload documents for the participants
- Makes it easy for the participants to login and join the training
- Questions are easily seen and allows organizer the option to answer immediately or wait until it is appropriate
- The analytics are cumbersome
- I have not used the recorded presentation mode
- Pricing structure is high
We are a professional trade association, and we produce and deliver a number of webinars throughout the year to our members as continuing education programs for their professional requirements. We have been using GoTo Webinar for about 10 years to deliver these online webinars to our members. We deliver the live version of these webinars directly on the GoTo Webinar platform, and then we use their recording and editing tools to create an on-demand version of each webinar to make available to our members after the live event is held.
- Unlimited number of webinars per month with no time limits
- Clear, user-friendly interface that allows our members to join our live webinars with very little technical assistance required
- Nice built-in tools for recording and editing video content
- Quick and responsive customer support by phone
- Adding speakers/panelists - it would be better if you could store a bank of past speakers to quickly add them to new webinars being created
- Making the web version of the software equal in functionality to the desktop version so that users would not have to download and install the software in order to join in a webinar
- If the handouts posted to a webinar could be made available for download in advance of a webinar, it would allow the participants to have these in hand before the webinar begins instead of having to download these after the webinar is opened. Or make them available to the participants while in the waiting room prior to the start of the broadcast

Casual Use
We use it to communicate with outside parties and other companies, organizations, and people. We use it for meetings when it is beneficial to share screens and present visual information. It is used mainly for meetings with other entities who use the software. It is not used for internal meetings with staff.
- Sharing Screen
- Video Calls
- Meetings
- Recording meetings
- More video optionality
- More optionality with screen sharing
- More markup optionality

GoTo Webinar is quick, easy and user friendly
Our association uses [GoTo Webinar] for almost all our online webinars, which can be between 2-5 per month. Most of the programs are generated in the U.S., but we also use it for international webinars that are launched by our team in Malaysia. It has been a great way to reach a very large, international audience for our educational programs.
- Reports are quite thorough for attendee tracking, Q&A submissions.
- Overall the online technology and connectivity is very reliable.
- They have good help screens, and if needed the live help staff are easily accessible.
- It would be nice to be able to run customized reports.
- Running a presentation with embedded videos can be hit or miss; typically only 50% of the audience can see and/or hear the videos.
- When needing to enter webinar information in a foreign language, the auto translations on the platform are not 100% accurate, and there are only so many languages to choose from.

GoTo webinar for the win
We use GoTo Webinar for our presentations, and webinars to make them look presentable, and it can accommodate up to 1,000 attendees. The problem is we haven't tried reaching its maximum potential, we'd like to go big and try up to 5,000 attendees. This is of course for the organization with larger employees.
- User friendly
- Convenient
- Saves Time and effort
- Try extending the free trial just for a week.
- The user should be able to have a chat area if they have a query.
- Update the user interface for the non-technical users.

Gets the job done well
A few clients use GoTo Webinar for hosting webinars, continuing education courses, etc. I have run meetings from it in the past but recently I am just a viewer on the platform. It is convenient for hosting courses/webinars with large groups of people.
- Easy to use.
- Gets a little glitchy.
- It would be nice to be able to customize your event reminder emails more.

Consider GoTo Webinar for all of your webinar needs
GoTo Webinar allowed us to provide weekly webinars for our new customers in our onboarding period with our product. We were able to streamline processes and cut down on manually doing one-on-one training on basic aspects of our platform so that we could focus on more customized calls and training once customers watched our webinars and understood the foundational components of our software.
- Reporting and analytics
- Registrations and managing the audience
- Interfacing during the webinar with sharing screens, etc.
- Their UI felt a bit dated and clunky at times
- Their registration forms could have some additional components built in
- Every now and then we'd experience outages/crashes

Solid Webinar/Video Conference Platform
We use GoToWebinar as our primary platform for video conferencing.
- Image and Voice Quality
- Easy Control Panel
- Good Resolution/Audio on Video Recordings
- Integration with our marketing automation platform
- Custom Backgrounds. It would be much better if GoToWebinar didn't require a third-party service to upload custom backgrounds. I feel like this should be native functionality in 2022. The ChromaCam app is glitchy and a pain to use so I just opt not to use a background in GoToWebinar.

Great but always room for improvement
GoToWebinar solves the issue of in-person meetings at the moment. It is used across all departments and with outside stakeholders. With the ongoing pandemic, this helps the community to continue to conduct workshops on the regular. This has allowed us to add more options to the schedule.
- Ease of use for the presenter
- User friendly for attendees
- Allows the presenter to view the audience better.
- Better use for mobile users
- Ways to personalize the experience
- Language translation
I use GoTo Webinar with clients who are looking to generate warm to hot leads for their product/solutions. Webinars and demos are key, especially for my SaaS clients, and GoTo Webinar provides a very intuitive and familiar interface for our hosts, cohosts, and guests. It typically only takes us 2 to 5 minutes to set everything up, from basic information to the registration page. Occasionally a client demands to use a different solution, but they always come to regret it in the end, switching back to GoTo Webinar.
- Webinars
- Landing Pages
- Customer Support
- Webinar Recording
- The Channel Interface isn't as intuitive in my opinion.

- Interactive Options
- Ease of Use
- Professional meeting platform
- Pricing
- Name recognition (when sending out meeting links)

Virtual Meetings on a Grand Scale
My experience with GoTo Webinar has been for the purpose of attending large-scale virtual seminars with a high number of attendees. The process is simple enough with an email serving as the invitation and containing instructions on how to join. With great importance on security, GoTo Webinars ensures a reliable and secure experience with minimal interruptions. The product is simple to use and is very reliable. While using the product, I experienced a stable connection and stellar audio quality with only slight dips in video quality.
- Easy to join.
- Secure.
- Solid Connection.
- Multiple Session Types.
- Custom Sessions.
- Better Chat.
