Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use GTW for less critical webinars within our organization. For higher-profile events, we use a more premium webinar platform that provides more flexibility and customization.
Pros and Cons
  • Simplicity of presenter interface.
  • Good video capabilities.
  • Quick to set up an event.
  • Sharing a PowerPoint can be cumbersome. Presenters can't see the other attendees if they only have one monitor. There are workarounds, but it's not great.
  • Registration form options are limited.
  • Post-event emails are wonky. Very little ability to customize.
  • Getting an event started is confusing. Their "Practice", "Start", and "Start Broadcast" options are confusing.
Likelihood to Recommend
It's good for situations when you don't need a lot of customization. It's also good for rookie presenters because most controls are fairly intuitive for presenters.

Return on Investment
  • Providing a low price point webinar solution.
Usability

Aside from the difficulty in sharing a PowerPoint presentation on a single screen, it's fairly intuitive for new users who are giving a presentation. We can get them up and running with minimal coaching.
