One reliable industry leader, most Fortune 5000 companies, use this product. It has a good rating in communication and engagement platforms. Of course, it's an excellent choice for startups as well. Other things like flexible billing and good value for money make it a product that caters to enterprise needs with the most advanced features.

  • Zoom Events & Webinars and ON24
Zoom scores well above GoTo and ON24 in brand recognition across mid to large enterprises. But GoTo scores well in SMBs. Regarding value for money and ROI, it's better than ON24. We selected GoTo because of the price point and to ensure that our partner-sourced SMB stacks do not end up not engaging with us because of a lack of a proper medium.

Teams is also a good option but sharing the screen is handy but I don't think in Zoom. So both can be used. GoTo webinar has a good feature which is starting the publish so recording and sharing will start only after that once we are ready. Other platforms are also good but this one has some advantages than other.

It was already a component of the tech stack before COVID, but with the introduction of numerous new platforms that are utilized on a daily basis for purposes other than webinars, it is currently not the greatest option for marketers. It's a useful addition to the tech stack, but it's no longer necessary.

We used TeamViewer and Skype for Business before this and we had a tough time conducting webinars when the target audience was huge. Lack of integrations with 3rd party platforms, and no analytics capabilities limited ourselves from going to the next level in both sales and training. The other products were good for presenting internally to smaller pool of people but when it comes to larger audience and to track metrics out of it, GoTo Webinar is a huge win.

GoToWebinar has a user-friendly interface and intuitive controls. When comparing it with other platforms, assess how easily you can navigate through features, set up events, and engage with participants. Connection stability, audio and video quality seem pretty much ok. Interactive polls, Q&A sessions, recording options are also working fine and provide to the user experience.

GoTo provides features that others vendors don't have, analytics dashboard is exclusive for webinars sessions and it provides value to the complete solution, styling invite emails is another feature that will not find on other solutions. The advantage of other vendors is the collaboration ecosystem, Webex has devices and telepresence devices for conference room which is native for Cisco products, but it doesn't mean that GoTo is worse than Webex, Zoom is good competitor but it's not feasible and some information leaks has prove that the solution is not as secure as they said.
