Powerful tool for videoconferencing and remote learning
GoTo Webinar is a powerful tool for remote education and e-learning content.

- Participants engagement
The tool was one of the first and most used tools before pandemic struck and many other IT companies converted and/or launched their live stream8ng softwares for education management. The system is reliable, accessible through different devices and optimal for managing large audiences with no time-limits. Live chat is always visible on the right side of the screen.

GoTo Webinar makes it possible to livestream conferences and events of various kinds, while interacting with other participants invited to the same event and not necessarily belonging to the same organizations. The speaker can also share material on the screen and the chat enables attendees to write questions preventing to interrupt the flow of the event.
GoTo Webinar is available in two different formats. You can either use it desktop version, o download the mobile app. Its functioning in both cases is very intuitive and does not require any particular skill. Its features are intuitive and also well depicted using symbols to enable any user get acquainted with the software straight away.
- Conferences
- Livestream events
- Sharing materials
- Politely interacting with attendees
- Make Xmas wishes
- Organize meetings while abroad
- Simply connecting people
- Broadcast pre-recorded events

- Ease of Use
The software is extremely intuitive and reliable, especially when we need to manage a large crowd of participants connecting all at the same time. Sharing content has never been so easy and turning on/off mics or speaker webcams is very easy to do. Managing chat interactions via moderator is also an interesting opportunity.
I would not change GoTo Webinar with other softwares on the market, especially because this product is meant to do what its name tells. Webinars and not just crowded meeting where everyone has the stage, but rather one-way events where people can intervene in a detached way, while following the flow of the events.
- Don't know
- Adapting to end-user needs
No premium support was purchased because the software runs smoothly even with its basic version. Rare issues are dealt with care and in a proper manner and shortly. I appreciate colleagues also suggesting me how to solve some issues promptly without even turning up to the support team. This options really helps me.
No
I am not the right person to tell about exceptional support as we only use GoTo Webinar as end-user and have our IT-office manage all issues connected to the software itself. However, they are always happy when they resolve issues and consequently we could not be less if this happens.
- Sharing content
- Managing chat
- Mute participants
- Reading the quick flow of comments
Yes, but I don't use it

GoTo Webinar for the webinars
This product we generally use for webinars and yes it has the capability to handle the audience. This software also has good options to share the screen, chat options and also recording management is good. This Platform has a simple interface to use it. that helps while presenting something. A few of the negatives I faced but yes this can be continued.
- Webinar
- Session recording
- Presentation
- Audio
- Interface while presenting shows a black area on audience screen
- File attachment and Chat option

- We organized many of webinars and it has capability to handle amount of audiance and yes it does well. Interaction online with attendees is also easy so after the webinar ends we can share the recording to attendees and also get reports analytics easily to contact them again.
- Zoom and Microsoft Teams
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.

We deal with the Mining chain Softwares, whole solution we provide. So to provide the awareness, training, webinars etc done by this platform. So not only in India but other countries where pur offices located use this platform. Our company's parent organization is Vela software which is again a part of Constellation software.

Technically strong and having a good knowledge of IT and some basics of Computer softwares and terminologies can handle this software easily. This is very basic software and having very few features that can be handled easily by anyone. This is a straight forward platform so anyone can contribute to its uses.
- Software demo
- Trainings to client
- Webinars for short training
- NA
- Cant say right now
Not Sure
- Cloud Solutions
- Scalability
- Integration with Other Systems
- Ease of Use
As I mentioned this is easy to use, straight forward, less features, high scale software so it makes us to use this software again. We use it on regular basis. It also has very low size package which takes low storage on system and all saves on its server and video recording on system.
Well after providing this much good info and review I don't think this question need to be answered. So if I got an opportunity to select and evaluate the software I'll go for it definitely based on the factors and options available on this software. This platform is usable on regular basis.
Well, we didn't because we didn't require that support because of not need. We could manage by ourself to handle the GoTo webinar issues if arised. Well, premium support have good way to handle the defects, issues, queries instant for who has less software IT knowledge and it worth it.
No
No I do not remember any of of such case or event where I needed to contact the GoTo webinars support and their exceptional support provided. Till now we didn't need to contact the support team of GoTo webinar. If need in future then this section will he updated accordingly.

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

- We were able to reach 8 different sectors of society and keep them all involved with no dropped calls or meetings for 10 years
- This has enabled us to maintain a permanent member-only video library on our organizations website by linking to the GoTo video library links, and the same for the open community video library
- Able to have our regular 7 monthly meetings with no conflict with the bigger community connections meetings
We needed more participant seats. Plus you can either buy a GoTo Meeting, or buy a GoTo Webinar and get a free GoTo Meeting with it. It is more cost effective that way.

- Ease of Use
At the time we purchased it, nothing else existed like it. Then Zoom came along, then Teams. But GoToWebinar is the only place we can host all our meeting videos.
I don't get to make this decision. If another software existed at a better price for video storage and sharing, we might change it. So far, nothing does.
- Implemented in-house
- It was before my time with this organization so I don't know
No. It's not worth the price for us.

They have never provided exceptional support. I'm just supposed to figure it out on my own. I usually Google what I need to find.

- Sending video links out

GoToWebinar will add revenue to your bottom line!
We primarily use GoToWebinar for new business. The solution allows us to reach prospects as well as clients all over the country. Our presentations are informative and allow us to showcase our expertise within our industry and why they need our services. Our presentations are primarily educational for the attendees with a very soft sell of our services.
- The automated e-mail to registrants. This e-mail allows the registrants to add the webinar to their calendar in a very seamless fashion and in the correct time zone, so there is no confusion and it increases the odds they will actually attend.
- The recording of a webinar and the ability to edit it if need be and e-mail to 2 different segments (both the attendees and registrants who couldn't make the webinar). These e-mails go out to these groups separately, so it allows you to customize the message you send to each segment.
- The reporting is another strength of GoToWebinar. It allows you to see how long the registrants were in the webinar, the answers they had for any polls you conducted during the webinar and their answers to any post-webinar survey questions you have. This actually covers three strengths in one. The reporting, the polls, which engages the attendees during the webinar and the survey, which allows you to learn and improve by getting valuable feedback.
- One weakness is the customization and branding portion is somewhat limited. I'd like to be able to put a message on the registration page that differs from the automated e-mails that go out.
- When you send out a webinar recording to someone not already registered after the webinar, the link they click on is basically a registration page, and once they register the video will display, which is fine, I just wish it could be a little more clear, it just seemed a little odd to me, I think the template could be cleaned up a bit here, perhaps the video embedded on the initial page and they register on that page for it to play, I'm not sure what the answer is here.
- The current post webinar survey is only displayed on a users screen after the webinar. I think it would be nice to add a feature where you can send a link to people to after the fact to ask them to fill out the survey once you look at the report and see who didn't fill it out. I found a work around for this, but I think it would be a nice feature to auto generate a survey link that you can send out in personal e-mail, similar to the registration link.

I believe GoToWebinar is a best in class option, although not perfect, I think for delivering an overall solution to hosting webinars, it's the total package. I ultimately chose GoToWebinar because I was very familiar with GoToMeetings which I really liked and it just made the most sense for us. And to be honest, I didn't have time to or want to do a thorough evaluation of multiple products. GotoWebinar's customer service and sales people are top notch when ensuring you get what you need and the answers you're looking for. The tutorials are very helpful and their online resources to troubleshooting came in very handy.

Yes, we were in the middle of a live webinar and I had a question that had just come up, so I called Citrix support and they understood the urgency and they calmly and quickly gave me the answer I needed and it relieved the anxiety level of the entire team.
- The registration set-up
- The confirmation e-mails
- The reporting
- The recording of a webinar
- Audio troubleshooting, but that could have been a # of issues and really isn't a problem with the solution
- To be honest, I don't think it's difficult or cumbersome at all.
Yes, but I don't use it
