- Integrations with CRMs and marketing automation are limited.

GoTo Webinar became our 'GO TO' - Only a few hiccups...
- Polls/Survey.
- Looks very professional.
- Easy to interact with attendees (Chat, Q&A).
- Easy to mute audience, have control over a presentation.
- Ability to use breakout rooms from a presentation (like in GoTo Meeting) but still have the functionality of a webinar presentation. This would be helpful after a big event, especially in replacing live events.
- Hand raising tends to feel a bit hokey - maybe more options for the audience to interact, like how Zoom has multiple options.
GoTo Webinar: A cut above the rest!
- Provides quality voice calls.
- Provides quality video calls.
- The tools allow for quick resolution of problems.
- Some of the meeting controls could be done differently.
The new GoTo Webinar is worth checking out
- Auto-recording.
- Preview of screen sharing.
- Multiple speaker sharing/organization.
- Reporting - cannot create reports on multiple sessions in one view.
- Unique backgrounds (like Zoom).
- Some settings are automatically turned off, like capturing webcams while recording, and that has created some issues when we don't test a session prior to recording.
A Versatile Virtual Webinar Tool
- Ability to record the whole session.
- Easily integrates with other software.
- Intuitive user interface which is easy to understand.
- Audience polling option.
- Should be given with virtual background templates.
- Becomes a bit slow when internet is not reliable.
- Pricing could be made more flexible.
Excellent Presentation Platform, that provies Ease of Use
GoToWebinar is used by our marketing and solutions teams, using it to host client-hosted and internally created webinar content.
GoToMeeting is used across the company Sales, Solutions, Marketing, etc. Primary use is for sales for hosting product demos.
Both provide our business with the ability to remote-based presentations of content and product showcasing. Internally it is used as a platform for hosting dept and company meetings.
- Works well, low bandwidth requirements.
- Uniform functionality across product suite.
- Recording capabilities and ability to convert in the solution.
- Replay functionality.
- Confusing controls for screen sharing, between Screen and Applications, cuts off the viewing field.
- PowerPoint presentations and controls views are not easy to use, some views of controls are condensed.
Great for low cost, reliable lead-gen webinars
- Reminder emails to participants
- Data re: attentiveness of attendees
- Reliability of the platform
- Q&A panel needs a UI update; it's hard to see/type
- Q&A needs a multiple moderator feature, so if two people are moderating questions you can tell
- Would like data to go back to a year for past webinars; now it cuts off at six months
GoToWebinar: The Godfather of Webinar Software
- It works as it says it does.
- It does well reporting metrics
- The registration system works seamlessly
- Great for when you want a webinar to have a replay at another time
- Clunky, outdated interface for both back of house and end-user experience
- It doesn't have all the latest tricks built in that other webinar software do.
- It's not an all in one solution, so you have to integrate other third-party apps.
- Integration with Hubspot is great.
- User interface is easy.
- reporting have improved.
- Virtual Backgrounds: It is almost impossible to do this.
- They could improve the chat functionality during a live webinar.
