Great Webinar Tech For Mid- to Large-Scale Webinars
We use GoTo Webinar for all client webinars and training. It's a powerful webinar tool, with a lot of flexibility that we find useful. We do webinars for clients and prospects and utilize the Q&A, polls, etc.

- The ability for pre-registration, both manual and auto approvals
- Technology is reliable and simple to use
- The video library is convenient for us when sharing replays
- Love that reporting is available almost immediately after post-webinar
- Would love to have the ability to customize the required information for video replay access

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.

My Goto Review
We are using this tool as a form of online training and contact with clients external to the institution. It has not supported the follow-up of projects and the proposal of new requests from both internal users and external users, as well as vendors and potential providers of services and goods. It has been very useful given the versatility of the tool and its constant interest in improving its platform and services.
- Collaborative meetings.
- Staff training.
- Updates with customers and users.
- Response time.
- Stability.

Great platform for all your webinar needs
We used GoToWebinar to conduct industry webinars for lead generation and branding, customer/partner workshops for revenue generation and internal company townhall as well as employee discussions. We used both types of meetings- live sessions as well as recorded webcasts and on-demand video streaming modes for creating meaningful content experience and interaction with our brand.
- The platform user experience is very seamless
- The webinar use case is covered extensively with features that covers the entire lifecycle: registation generation, nurturing registrants, live session, attendee management, session experience, follow ups and insights
- Webinar Analytics is near instant and exhaustive- date/ time stamps and every user behaviour is tracked
- Integrations with CRMs and marketing automation are limited.
- There is severe limitations with design and customisation of webinar registration landing page
- The web experience on mobile is not seamless, you need to install mobile app
March 22, 2022
GoTo Webinar is a go-to and alternative option to Zoom!
We use it to carry company and HR policies and hold internal and external meetings with clients and sponsors. During COVID, a lot of meetings have been pushed to virtual rather than in-person. It has been very helpful.
- Roll out company policies efficiently
- Setup meetings
- Host virtual corporate events
- None

Make your event easy with GoTo Webinar
We have used this tool for our Marketo integration as [an] Event Partner. Our client hosts all the events on the GoTo Webinar platform and it sends the event status with Marketo for further targeting of the lead. One of the best event platforms to connect with any marketing automation platform.
- Native Integration with Marketo.
- Unique event ID.
- Webinar Status (i.e. Attendee, Registered, No show, etc.).
- Sync issue can be improved.
- People registered won't get the trigger information.
- Sometime people [have] audio issues frequently.

Old school and reliable tool for online events
GoToWebinar is used by HR for announcements when they roll out new policies or need to engage the wider firm i.e quarterly CEO to connect where CEO shares his plan for the next quarter and engages the rest of the team via the platform. The other teams in the firm primarily use it to conduct training sessions internally as well with clients during key delivery phases like User Acceptance, System Integration as well as Key User Training.
- Controlled trainings for the large groups.
- Company wide interactive announcements.
- Training sessions with clients.
- Interface
- Mobile App

Good product
Our Marketing department, Product Management, and Sales department use GoToWebinar to present to our customers and prospects every month about our new and existing products and applications. It is a great way for us to reach a global audience and to answer their many technical questions in near real-time. GoToWebinar's polling feature also helps us get to know our audience and to gather market research info.
- Identify registrants.
- Solicit questions from the audience.
- Share webcams.
- Needs to include Australian states and "not applicable" in the picklist values.
- It would help to have a way to read long texted questions from the audience more easily.
- Ability for registrants to select multiple items from a question picklist.

A GoTo Solution for Training
GoToWebinar is one of the many platforms I have used throughout many contracts with different healthcare organizations. We use it to provide virtual training. We have started using it more frequently since 2020 and the pandemic. While software training is traditionally done in a classroom/in-person setting, the use of platforms like GoToWebinar has allowed us to expand our offerings, even during pandemic lockdowns.
- Classroom Management: Many of the features in this product are designed around managing large groups of people with a single presenter.
- Ease of Use: for first-time students, GoToWebinar is very easy to use. Everything is driven step by step after clicking on the meeting link.
- Layout: The interface is laid out very nicely. It provides a pleasant visual experience that does not distract from the presentation.
- Interactive Features: At times, some of the interactive features like polls and surveys can be a little challenging when done on the fly.

Very helpful platform
We've used this platform for webinars with specific associations and publications on behalf of our clients. This has taken the place of live events since the pandemic hit in order to generate leads for our clients and ultimately get them more business.
- Live events.
- Pre-recorded events.
- Responsive design on multiple devices.

Good webinar platform
This is a stable and reliable webinar software, which is used in our company very often. We have webinars with clients, partners, and developers every week. It's easy to manage and set up. We use it mostly in marketing, tech, and support departments, sometimes it's necessary for the financial team as well. GoToMeeting, which is included in the package is also a very good option for the whole of our company, especially now, when we often work remotely.
- Offers stable connection.
- Records webinars.
- Sends out reminders and follow ups.
- Includes polls.
- Includes GoToMeeting.
- It can be less expensive.
- The UI should be improved.
- Is still desktop and requires installation.

GoTo Webinar is easy to use and gives me a professional presence and follow up capability that actually works.
We use GoTo Webinar to speak with our partner clients on upcoming programs and educate them on the different offerings we provide their company. It allows us to have multiple users presenting to multiple groups/clients each day/week/month. We can schedule the webinars and set reminders and [follow] up with the recording/link to access the webinar they [either] attended or missed. GoTo Webinar is extremely easy to use and manage, you can schedule one or many webinars at a time and the volume of participants is fairly large so you [shouldn't] run out of seats for those who want to attend. It's also simple to run and chat with participants are you are running the meeting.
- Set reminders to the participants.
- Follow up emails to participants.
- Providing information to participants such as the presenter contact information.
- Easy to run and attend meetings, very few technical issues.
- Makes [it] extremely obvious to the presenter if they are on mute, i.e. a red screen outline.
- Confirmation it is recording.
- Email a list of all participants.

GoTo Webinar became our 'GO TO' - Only a few hiccups...
Our company uses GoTo Webinar currently for a soil education program that, before Covid, used to be an in-person workshop. I've been the primary user and moderator in setting up, recording the sessions, and assuring that our attendees all join in before we begin presentation - as well as assure that their questions are answered and they're being interacted with through our series of courses. I have been deeply supported and assisted by my team in that I have had lots of help editing our live transcripts for the recordings, and I directly support our two main presenters during the events.
- 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!
Our organization uses GoTo Webinar to collaborate with some of our third-party vendors. It allows us to communicate with support in real-time so they can help address the concern(s) we may be having at the time. It allows for a quicker resolution to the problem so we can take care of other issues.
- 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.
September 02, 2021
The new GoTo Webinar is worth checking out
We use it to host internal and external-facing webinars. We are currently using it to host a quarterly Product Event for our customers and prospects and it has been a great way to share content with the industry during this time of remote working. It has helped us stay in front of our customers without being able to connect with them face-to-face.
- 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
I have been using GoToWebinar tool for some quite time now & I must say it does its job exceptionally well, every time. This tool is used across different departments be it sales, marketing & sometimes for internal employees as well & it mainly used for showcasing a new product demo to potential customers & sometimes for training employees as well. It very well manages a large gathering of as expected in a large setup webinar, virtually with almost every functionalities in built there.
- 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 and GoToMeeting are our primary platforms for hosting product demos and webinars of our no-code SaaS solution.
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.

- 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
We host two lead-gen webinars per month and GoToWebinar is our platform. The marketing team uses the platform to run our webinars. We use the panning and analytics features. We use Zapier to send the leads to our marketing automation platform and then nurture them from there. Webinars are considered a low-cost lead generation source for us, along with other tactics like content marketing, SEO, PPC, events/field marketing, etc.
- 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
For the past ten years, I have used GoToWebinar off and on for my business and my client's businesses. In the online webinar space, I believe that GoToWebinar is the standard that everyone else compares to. When you need a solution that works, use GoToWebinar. I have not ever experienced a failure with running webinars on the GoToWebinar platform.
- 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.
Marketing uses GoTo Webinar to execute those external-facing webinars that we host ourselves. It integrates with Hubspot which makes registration and follow-up a breeze.
- 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.
