GoToWebinar is great for meetings with a lot of attendees, if you want very specific attendee data, or if you want a more straight-forward way to share files. I think if you are looking for a user-friendly solution and don't care as much about attendee data, I would say Zoom is better.

I think that it is a great tool/ platform for video conferences and face to face time between groups. It is pretty simple to use and does not require a downloaded version to use it similar to zoom. A downloaded version is also great and loads quicker in my opinion and already has my relivant information such as name. Overall, a great product for many scenarios.

GoTo Webinar is an excellent tool for businesses that need to host large-scale online events. GoTo Webinar is well-suited for webinars that require a large number of participants and presenters. It allows the host to easily set up webinars, monitor participant activity, and quickly adjust settings in real-time. The platform also allows for seamless integration with other virtual conferencing tools, making it an ideal choice for companies looking to host large online conferences and events. GoTo Webinar is less appropriate for smaller scale meetings and presentations that don’t require the same degree of flexibility and depth of features. For these types of meetings, a simpler and less expensive webinar platform may be more suitable. Additionally, those looking for more interactive and hands-on learning sessions may find other webinar platforms to be better suited for their needs.

I found GoTo Webinar easy to use and operate for webinars with less than ~350 attendees. Any more attendees than that and I ran into issues with recordings, and other occasional glitches. The UX doesn't allow for as much event invite customization as competitors. However, creating an event is extremely easy, making it simple to quickly put together an event invite.

GoToWebinar is a great platform for large team meetings, hosting large-scale webinars, or even recording webinars and archiving them. The audio and video quality are great so you can record and publish it on the website. It is less appropriate for brainstorming sessions by different business verticals as it does not offer breakout rooms to network or brainstorm.

GoTo Webinar is great for setting up your standard webinar broadcast or live session. It's simple and easy to set up and execute. However, it's not a super fancy tool, so it probably won't deliver a more branded experience for participants besides virtual backgrounds and live content sharing.

GoTo Webinar is great for bringing our Management team together in the mornings for our daily Ops call. We are all able to hear and see each other clearly and app is pretty easy to use and train new users on. It's also a fabulous tool for interviewing candidates whom aren't comfortable coming into the office to interview. In these COVID times it has really been a life saver! Using while on the go didn't always work so great with the app, it tended to drop off in certain areas.

GoTo Webinar is suitable for all scenarios especially when the number of participants is high (more than 300). It has great video quality, it is quick and easy to install, set up, and configure.

One scenario where GoTo Webinar does not function as expected is when you deal with PowerPoint and you have one screen only. Also, I find it a bit annoying is when you have multiple screens, it becomes unstable for some reason.

As informed earlier, if we are addressing a huge people of around 2500+ People in a Single Session, then this is the Ultimate tool to have Communication all-around and also Sometimes, due to some natural Calamities or sometimes, where our Physical Presence is not required, so at a time in order to pass the Information to a Wider Audience, GoTo Webinar is Quite Useful. Also, in Certain Situations, if our Client wants to join as a Participant and also can join the Meeting Virtually without any Physical Presence at some times to discuss the Technical Front and the Methodologies.

From my experience, GoTo Webinar is best suited for selling products anywhere from 97 USD to 5000 USD (based on your Webinar Experience), specifically for Information Technology Products and SaaS Products. I don't mean to say that it doesn't work for other industries. The main thing would be to create the right offer.

As mentioned before, it is good for us when we use it for outward facing webinars with external participants due to the data protection aspect. These usually do not involve any file sharing or back-and-forth communication, just unidirectional. We wouldnt really use it internally as we use Teams, which is already integrated with e.g. our SharePoint, files systems, and other organizational tools, so that is a case where we use MS Teams.

It is easily accessible with web browser and it also have easy to use interface which makes it best webinar app for host as well as attendees but if you want a HD picture quality then it lags sometimes otherwise it is okay.
Only using a link we connect to any webinar and it's professional looking waiting room also put Impression.

Well suited for online meetings when presenting a ppt or some study material, as it gives great looks. It's less appropriate where recording needs to be done and stored on the cloud & immediately shared with the participants the recording link automatically. It's great when you need to present a seminar where participants can ask questions but at the same time, the highlighted details/document links which are shared in the meeting do not go behind the conversations... Separate area for chat and separate for highlighted contents.

The tool is very well-designed to manage and organize webinars. Especially if the webinar is organized with a large number of attendees, then using the specialized tool is really a big improvement.

Our central location, where we generally host our webinars, does not have super fast internet speed. Even with several users on the platform at once, there is rarely a time that we have experienced losing connection with one of our satellite locations on the webinar. We have begun to have more of our account reps join the webinars on their cell phones, and the connection is just as stable and problem free as we have on our desktops in our main market locations.
