  • Identify registrants.
  • Solicit questions from the audience.
  • Share webcams.
  • Needs to include Australian states and "not applicable" in the picklist values.
  • It would help to have a way to read long texted questions from the audience more easily.
  • Ability for registrants to select multiple items from a question picklist.

  • Classroom Management: Many of the features in this product are designed around managing large groups of people with a single presenter.
  • Ease of Use: for first-time students, GoToWebinar is very easy to use. Everything is driven step by step after clicking on the meeting link.
  • Layout: The interface is laid out very nicely. It provides a pleasant visual experience that does not distract from the presentation.
  • Interactive Features: At times, some of the interactive features like polls and surveys can be a little challenging when done on the fly.

  • Polls/Survey.
  • Looks very professional.
  • Easy to interact with attendees (Chat, Q&A).
  • Easy to mute audience, have control over a presentation.
  • Ability to use breakout rooms from a presentation (like in GoTo Meeting) but still have the functionality of a webinar presentation. This would be helpful after a big event, especially in replacing live events.
  • Hand raising tends to feel a bit hokey - maybe more options for the audience to interact, like how Zoom has multiple options.

  • Auto-recording.
  • Preview of screen sharing.
  • Multiple speaker sharing/organization.
  • Reporting - cannot create reports on multiple sessions in one view.
  • Unique backgrounds (like Zoom).
  • Some settings are automatically turned off, like capturing webcams while recording, and that has created some issues when we don't test a session prior to recording.

  • Works well, low bandwidth requirements.
  • Uniform functionality across product suite.
  • Recording capabilities and ability to convert in the solution.
  • Replay functionality.
  • Confusing controls for screen sharing, between Screen and Applications, cuts off the viewing field.

  • Reminder emails to participants
  • Data re: attentiveness of attendees
  • Reliability of the platform
  • Q&A panel needs a UI update; it's hard to see/type
  • Q&A needs a multiple moderator feature, so if two people are moderating questions you can tell
  • Would like data to go back to a year for past webinars; now it cuts off at six months

  • It works as it says it does.
  • It does well reporting metrics
  • The registration system works seamlessly
  • Great for when you want a webinar to have a replay at another time
  • Clunky, outdated interface for both back of house and end-user experience
  • It doesn't have all the latest tricks built in that other webinar software do.
  • It's not an all in one solution, so you have to integrate other third-party apps.
