  • Unlimited number of webinars per month with no time limits
  • Clear, user-friendly interface that allows our members to join our live webinars with very little technical assistance required
  • Nice built-in tools for recording and editing video content
  • Quick and responsive customer support by phone
  • Adding speakers/panelists - it would be better if you could store a bank of past speakers to quickly add them to new webinars being created
  • Making the web version of the software equal in functionality to the desktop version so that users would not have to download and install the software in order to join in a webinar
  • If the handouts posted to a webinar could be made available for download in advance of a webinar, it would allow the participants to have these in hand before the webinar begins instead of having to download these after the webinar is opened. Or make them available to the participants while in the waiting room prior to the start of the broadcast

  • Ability to handle poll interaction
  • Emailing automation
  • Robust Analytics
  • Audio quality could be better overall, Cut offs and stable audio connections arent as good as you would want it to be
  • Documentation for GoTo Webinar Api is not up to user friendly standards
  • Registration page lacks a robust customization

  • Reports are quite thorough for attendee tracking, Q&A submissions.
  • Overall the online technology and connectivity is very reliable.
  • They have good help screens, and if needed the live help staff are easily accessible.
  • It would be nice to be able to run customized reports.
  • Running a presentation with embedded videos can be hit or miss; typically only 50% of the audience can see and/or hear the videos.
  • When needing to enter webinar information in a foreign language, the auto translations on the platform are not 100% accurate, and there are only so many languages to choose from.

  • Image and Voice Quality
  • Easy Control Panel
  • Good Resolution/Audio on Video Recordings
  • Integration with our marketing automation platform
  • Custom Backgrounds. It would be much better if GoToWebinar didn't require a third-party service to upload custom backgrounds. I feel like this should be native functionality in 2022. The ChromaCam app is glitchy and a pain to use so I just opt not to use a background in GoToWebinar.

  • Webinars - 1 to Many presentations using screen share and audio
  • Recordings - Ability to use a registration link for a single webinar to also view the on demand recording
  • Scheduling - ability to schedule multiple webinars at one time
  • Integrations - APIs to help integrate existing technology and GTW to our platforms
  • Support - We have an account and the support options are limited and at times cumbersome
  • Accounts and 2-Factor Authorization - This is great for users as individuals, but when using group emails or sharing accounts with group emails - it has become increasingly difficult to maintain
  • Communication - Changes in the platform are done, but not communicated to the accounts, account admins, etc. We notice the changes and have to adjust on the fly
  • Account Executive - We have had multiple and had to go digging for contact after a current AE leaves the organization
  • Video-Sharing - is not the smoothest or prettiest experience. There have been improvements, but could be even better.
