GoTo Webinars is a very useable piece of software, due to the ease of creating an event and the simple and smooth process of joining an event. The user experience, ranging from the email invite down to the crisp user interface, is overall very enjoyable and allows for simple access to the information the seminar is providing.

It has been a support tool for our change process during these changes due to the pandemic. It has allowed us to maintain many business features that. Although it is true, we have had to learn on the fly, have been a positive experience for the organization, users, suppliers, and customers.

Nowadays webinar is the initial requirement of any organization to reach [a] wider audience with effective communication to inform about [their] product and services. GoTo Webinar is helping the marketer to increase [their] popularity within the audience without putting [a] hefty amount on the offline events. Due to [their] strong network connectivity it is very easy to watch the live or on-demand recording for the user.

GoTo Webinar deserves [a] 10 considering its overall usability. Anyone that can join a Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Webex call can do a live webinar even a simu-live webinar. You create the webinar page in 2 steps: Select the date/theme/time/webinar type. Insert the webinar information, e-mail reminders, webinar bio, speakers bio, survey questions, UTM links, etc... So in just 2 pages, you have created your webinar!!!

GoTo Webinar is simple and easy to use. There are various ways you can get assistance if you need help. We've integrated it into Pardot and it's quick and easy now to set up new webinars and copy over previous landing pages in order to set up new events really quickly and with limited effort.

As mentioned earlier, it's a very reliable tool that can handle large online events of any and all natures. Whether it's internal training and quarterly meet with the CEO or the training sessions at your client, it can do all of that and in a very reliable fashion. The plugins it comes with are very good for productivity.

GoToWebinar is very easy to use in terms of setting up new webinars, conducting the webinars, and using reports to follow up with attendees and registrants. Presenters can easily see their narrator notes on a separate screen. And it is easy to invite people outside the organization as guest presenters and panelists.

GoToWebinar is probably the easiest of all the platforms to use. I particularly like that people are directed step by step what to do as soon as they click on the meeting link. The ability to join through the application itself or through the web makes the student experience much easier allowing them to focus on the actual presentation. Once inside the webinar, the user interface is laid out in a very logical manner. I find, as a technical trainer, that having an intuitive layout makes the overall experience less frustrating.

Besides a few live glitches we had in the past, everything else has gone smoothly with GoToWebinar and we've been happily using it with outside publications and associations on behalf of our client.

This is a very good product and a good concept overall. I can't even remember some tech or any other issues connected with this software, stable, fast and reliable, good audio and video quality, a lot of useful functionalities, reports, and more. I think we'll continue to use it for many years.

I find the GoTo Webinar is a perfect fit for the purpose of why I use it, presenting to clients within a specific company. I can present to multiple companies over a span of a month and it [is] effective and easy to schedule and use. I'm able to see how many are registered and can determine [the] future frequency and it helps guide if I should schedule more or less and what day of the week/month works best for that company based on respondents. So many details make it easy to see what is working and what isn't.

Overall, usability is pretty seamless (PLUS, I have to say their customer support was pretty helpful every time I had to reach out for clarification or troubleshooting, which wasn't often - but they always helped right away and were very, very useful to us. Compared to other programs we tried like Vimeo, it was a whole other level of care.) GoTo Webinar is professional, clean, and looks good from both sides -- whether you're the attendee, moderator, AND/OR presenter.

Very easy to use, and has had some great improvements in the last few years. About 2 years ago, I considered switching, but the new features that allow you to see what you're presenting, practice, and auto-record has made being a GoToWebinar host much more laid back and easy to do.

It is easy for newbies on our team to understand how to use GoToWebinar after just a little exposure to it. The UI is very intuitive. Also our guest presenters take to the platform very quickly. The Q&A box is a little difficult to navigate since it is small, but otherwise, no complaints.

GoToWebinar is a little bit difficult to learn how to use. I believe it was designed by engineers and not by an end-user experience expert. I would recommend having a techy person on your team handle the set-up and all the integrations you need for GoToWebinar. There are plenty of helpful video tutorials on YouTube. Still, if you're the type of person that finds it difficult connecting multiple pieces of software to work together in automation, then it may be best to outsource or delegate that task.

The tool is easy to use, but not always very straightforward. There are areas of auto-generated emails that are populated in such a way that is not always straightforward. This can get missed and errors can occur. But, overall, everyone on my team has been able to use the tool to set up a webinar.
