With an audience that you want to interact with and not just host a webinar, GoTo is great. If you're looking for something you aren't going to use often, and just want it for video/voice calls, then it's probably not the right solution for your particular needs.

GoTo Webinar is a great reliable technology for small webinars, as well as large-scale webinars. I would not suggest GoTo Webinar for interactive training though - this is more for 1 to many, with less interaction from attendees. That would be better suited for GoTo Meeting.

GoTo Webinar is extremely easy to use and great if you’re hosting simple webinars that don’t have more than 100 attendees. If you’d like to have well-designed landing pages and emails, you’ll have to integrate them with another tool, like HubSpot. The support is lacking and some of the settings when an event is live aren’t straightforward.

Based on my experience, GoTo Webinar is very well suited for online presentations and seminars with a significant number of attendees. More intimate meetings are less appropriate as the platform is designed with large groups in mind. As an alternative for in-person conferences and tradeshows which have been made more difficult due to the current world situation, GoTo Webinars fills the gap in a much-needed niche.

It has been a tool that has supported us, especially in times of pandemic, to be able to connect users and clients in an efficient way. We have learned to make shared decisions and generate new experiences for users and clients. We have not had any major inconveniences and in all cases, we have had support since there is a lot of technical information to answer queries.

GoToWebinar is very well suited to do large scale webinars where you want to share documents, build interactions with participants through QnA and polls, and drive overall event registrations, attendance and follow ups using one single/unified Webinar platform. It is suited for any webinar with audience size varying from 10-1000 attendees.

We mostly recommend GoTo Webinar because of the native integration with various marketing automation tools. That makes life easy for the marketer to get the webinar data very easily with the status sync in the marketing automation platform. The platform is very smooth for the attendees to get the webinar information easily with the interactive layout.

GoTo Webinar is a very easy-to-use platform, for live/on-demand/simu-live webinars. [It is] well suited for company events, lead generation events, end marketing events, selling events, people who want to sell an online web product, teachers, schools, language schools. Training: for company, for per to per training. [It's also good for] church events, all kinds of online events that you want to have information from the audience. But, GoTo Webinar is it is less appropriate for high-quality videos and streaming. (That's the only coin that it has)

External webinars are great to run through GoTo Webinar. We've done it a few times for internal webinars but without being able to have people ask questions through voice makes things difficult. Anytime you want to stick with Q&A through the chat function, using GoTo Webinar is perfect to present to large groups of people remotely.

GoToWebinar is a time-tested application to conduct large-scale discussions and training, and works really well not just for internal purposes, but also externally. Of all the other competitors, GoToWebinar is one of the oldest (not as much as Citrix) and most time tested. We routinely use it with our clients as well as to conduct training, because, unlike other alternatives, GoToWebinar doesn't need a full-fledged software install to attend the webinar and the light web version works just as well.

GoToWebinar is great for allowing easy registration and identification of those who registered and attended the webinar and how long they stayed on. The Q&A report is good for targeting only those who asked questions during the webinar. The audiovisual quality has been good for people who join from all parts of the world. The auto-record on start feature is nice and the recording quality is good. The auto attachment of the recording to the follow-up emails is also a nice feature.

GoToWebinar, much like many of the GoTo products is very easy to use. I find that it is one of the better platforms for first-time participants and first-time instructors. The ability to have multiple presenters also makes this an incredibly versatile product. Many times the classes that we host have several different experts in class, allowing students to have access to a panel of experts. Being able to quickly and efficiently pass presenting from one person to the other gives the students in the class a seamless learning experience.

This is one of the best options I have ever tried for webinars and webcasts, and, of course, GoToMeeting, which is also included, helps a lot with online in-team or cross-team communications. I didn't have any issues with GoToWebinar or GoToMeeting, perhaps for some users, it's a minus that this software requires a setup.

GoTo Webinar is well suited for scheduling a live webinar with participants up to 1000, but not for over 1000 participants. GoTo Webinar is great when you are educating people on a product or service but not for a 2way conversation or questions that cannot be answered over chat. I also like the ability to get a spreadsheet of the individuals who signed up so I can follow up with them immediately and over a course of time or assign them out to a group so we can reach out to them in a window of time.

GoTo Webinar is best suited for companies that are presenting information in a single event or in a series, need to train a large number of people internally or externally, have an educational focus or component to their company, or are looking to easily expand and share their expertise through connecting people across the country, continent, or world. Scenarios where GoTo Webinar would be less appropriate in the situations where you'd hope to connect and interact with your attendees in a more 'team' style, in this case, I would recommend GoTo Meeting instead. However, GoTo Webinar does have very good interaction tools -- just better suited to mirror the amount of interaction you'd get from a large audience in person (hand raising, chiming in, etc.).

GoTo Webinar is great for sharing content with a large group of people, but it could use some work on the interactivity of sessions. Virtual events have become more interactive and need to be more than just a webcam/presentation these days. By enabling more audience interaction features, I think it would be used more by Enterprise companies.

My experience with using GoToWebinar has been very smooth & good. It's fairly an easy tool to understand, having so many basic features that make it very easy to understand for almost any customer & end-user. So this tool doesn't assume anyone to have any pre-requisite as anyone can pick it up right from the start.

Great for lead-gen webinars! The interface is easy to understand and you can be up and running in just a few days. We pay annually, and the cost is quite reasonable for the amount of usage we get from it (two webinars per month). For more technical webinars or virtual events where there is more interaction, downloads, etc., another platform like Maestro may be better.

I have recommended GoToWebinar to colleagues and clients. I believe that it is a little on the expensive side, but it works. If you're using webinars to sell a product, usually, you can recoup your investment with the sales that result from a well-done webinar. GoToWebinar ensures that things work and that your webinar goes off without a hiccup.

Although there is certainly room for improvement, the close integration with Hubspot, the overall ease of use, and the price point make this a tool I would still recommend for a traditional webinar. It would not work for those that would like break-out rooms and more advanced functionality. The lack of backgrounds is a concern.
