  • Easy interface for attendees to know how to ask questions, access resources, etc.
  • Similarities across all GoTo platforms make moving from one to the other an easy transition for our internal team.
  • Thoughtful and useful additions to functionality over the years (have been a user for 10+ years) have enabled us to keep up with the trends and have a strong presence of our online presentations.
  • Would be nice if this had an easy integration with our marketing automation solution (Eloqua/Oracle) to share data.
  • Would love to have the flexibility to change the way a webinar (live/recorded) is set up after scheduling it. Sometimes last-minute changes necessitate different methods but the flexibility to work with that is not a current feature.

  • Q&A Management--helps with our release announcements
  • Digital Recordings--allows those who attended or miss a webinar to receive it, without needing to send an actual copy of the file
  • Reporting--there are many reports and data access points
  • Tech Support--GoToWebinar has a good email tech support; however, when something goes wrong on a webinar, there isn't really a great 911 solution.
  • Consistency of Service--many times our service will drop audio, video, screen recording, etc. It seems to be after the 1-hour mark. Internet remains for all hosts and panelists, but it just seems to struggle.
  • Stronger HubSpot integration, being able to build the landing page and webforms in HubSpot to capture attendees is wonderful, and being able to capture contacts is also helpful. However, it would be great to connect some analytics to HubSpot--such as getting a list of contacts who attended webinar XYZ, or those who asked questions, what questions did they ask. If someone signed to watch the recording at a later date, allow that contact to pass to HubSpot.

  • Registration page templates/page creation and attendee registration management--must have for event management
  • Data association--attendee information is paired with poll, question, and survey responses, assisting followup
  • The interest rating score is a good level set for how engaged your participants really were
  • Works across platforms and browsers
  • GoToWebinar becomes very glitchy when the presenter uses multiple monitors--something which most presenters need to do. It becomes very difficult to force the correct window to share, and even with notifications turned off, other desktop activities interfere with the screen share
  • Audio and video transmission also become glitchy when enough audience members join the session. While rated for 1,000 people, we experience "bandwidth" issues when attendee volumes exceed 400
  • Integrating translation tools has been difficult, which makes it difficult to present to more than one language group at a time
  • Presenters are often unable to see their own webcam feed, which is disconcerting for many
  • No digital backgrounds, which many presenters want to use
  • Presenters are unable to see the polls when they are presented to the audience and cannot see the results share unless they have "audience view" enabled
  • Other glitches come and go, making it difficult to depend on the tool's performance
  • No breakout rooms--limits the use beyond a one-and-done session

  • Weekly recurring training presentation where it is necessary to deliver a consistent message.
  • It meets our specific need. I have no ideas on how it could be improved.

  • Integrates with Pardot/Salesforce (others say they do, but they don't!)
  • Records for future playback
  • I hate the initiation of a webinar. We never know if it's working or not.
  • We've had trouble with dialing in. This has caused major issues.

  • Ease of use for new users and an intuitive platform.
  • Convenient chat features for attendee interaction.
  • Chat feature isn't the best at handling a large number of messages at once and can be overwhelming for the moderator.
  • Costliest option and competitors have less expensive alternatives with more features.

  • Allows a presenter to share their desktop with the user.
  • The product has good sound quality.
  • When taking CPE, you often have to answer questions to get credit. The "ding" that announces a question is always inordinately loud. I wish there was functionality to change the volume.
  • The format of GoToWebinar hasn't changed much. It seems a little clunky and needs a refresh.
