We utilize ON24 for our webinars and conferences/workshops. ON24 helps us by creating marketing opportunities for our sales team to close. We highlight all of our products each year with roughly 80+ webinars and also utilize the program to host virtual events.
  • Lead tracking.
  • Integration with other programs.
  • Great customer support.
  • Easier customizable consoles with graphic design.
Great for lead generation and top-of-funnel outreach. Great at supplemental resources and making things look really nice for the customer experience. It doesn't seem to nickel and dime its customers on product options.

We use ON24 for virtual client and prospect events. The software makes it incredibly easier for our team to facilitate virtual events and the cloud based software enables our team to effortlessly plan and organize events from the office or remotely.

ON24 addresses the shortcomings that ZOOM and Microsoft Teams have in terms of having multiple users and video boxes for a virtual meeting.
  • Cloud based technology
  • Ability to facilitate virtual client events
  • Call and video quality
  • Analytics and Reporting Capabilities
  • Customization of branding elements and registration pages
  • Integration with Microsoft Outlook
ON24 is incredibly useful for hosting virtual events and meetings where the attendee list is greater than 100 people. It's less suited for small intimate virtual events where the attendee list is below 20 or so people.

We use it for internal webinars to give further discussion on trends, programs, software's, and report evaluations. Currently we are aiming to maximize SQOs and increase pipeline.
  • report URL dashboard
  • multiple webinars at the same time.
  • having online guides + the webinerd community
  • Emails should have analytics too
  • Key moments did not make a good impression on me, the idea is good but when I embedded it into the email it didn't work or look properly formatted.
  • I dislike that on the elite studio update it took away the webinar title and the webinar id number.
the audience console is very attractive on ON24.

I disike that another package needs to be purchased in order for webcams and audio to active for the audience.

On24 for B-2-C Marketing

We use On24 to host webinars for potential clients and to share our expertise with a wider audience. On24 allows us to offer better engagement for our audience, and to track leads' interest in our company better. It is also easier for us to run webinar on On24 than it was on Zoom, as it is more automated.
  • Audience engagement
  • Professional webinars
  • Salesforce connection
  • A/V issues for presenters can happen
  • More functionality on iPhones
We have been using On24 for consumer-facing webinars as we are a B-2-C business and I find that it works very well. I know that many other companies also use this for B-2-B marketing, and I could imagine that it would work well in those scenarios as well. We use On24 for everything from the first contact with a lead to converting an existing lead to a client.

ON24 allows us to host webinars and collect robust analytics to make informed decisions. We use ON24 for our entire Marketing team to qualify leads and interact with customers. ON24 makes this process seamless and easy. Reliable platform that is moving in the right direction. We have been using the tool for a number of years and love it.
  • Webinar analytics
  • Branding
  • Ease of use
  • Pricing
  • Archive video quality
  • Customization
I think ON24 is the best-in-class tool for webinars. It hits all of the marks for things you want a webinar tool to be able to do, while providing excellent analytics. The ability to interact with other presenters on the backend and seamlessly talk to the attendees as well is great.

We use ON24 to produce sponsored webinars in cooperation with our advertising partners. To a lesser extent, we also use it for editorial webinars.
  • Being able to customize the branding of the webinar console is unsurpassed
  • Reporting is stronger than most webinar platforms, although a bit buggy in spots. Their legacy reporting interface was a lot more user-friendly than their current interface. You can still access legacy reports, and that's how we pull all of our data.
  • Event setup is easy once you get the hang of it, although a bit limited in spots.
  • Slides-and-audio webinars work flawlessly, but ON24 is still trying to catch up to other vendors when it comes to video. The interface is buggy, connection issues occur with 10-15% of our presenters (even when they're using the ON24-recommended web browser and configuration), and there is no native support for backgrounds like you find in Zoom and other platforms.
  • The new Elite Studio interface took a step forward in some areas, but a step backward in others. They took away the ability for presenters to mark audience questions as high, medium, or low. Other aspects of the UI are just broken—like sometimes the Q&A pane disappears completely for presenters. Months after reporting the bugs, they still exist. ON24 has provided workarounds for some issues but hasn't fixed many of these underlying bugs.
  • For video events, there's no way to spotlight individual speakers. If you have a presenter who doesn't need to be on camera for the entire event, they appear as an ugly black block for most of the event, with no way for the producer to get rid of it. The voice recognition is not great, which often leads to an awkward 3-5 seconds where one presenter is on screen but another one is speaking.
  • There's a learning curve for new presenters. Doing rehearsals with the software in advance is a must, and explaining all of the controls in a live 30-minute walk-through is necessary. It's not as intuitive as a platform like Zoom or GoToWebinar. There are lots of things that need to be explained to new presenters.
I have been using ON24 for nearly two decades, and the software has evolved dramatically over time. Whenever a new major release has come out, it's always been two steps forward and two steps back. They improve certain aspects of the platform but make others harder to use or less flexible. ON24 is great for a company with a dedicated event manager who can own the entire process—setting up events, running rehearsals, and providing guidance to new presenters. But for an organization where you don't have this level of resources, I could see ON24 being too difficult to manage. Also: Deep pockets are a must because ON24 charges by the event (unlike other platforms such as Zoom and GoToWebinar that are subscription-based). ON24 charges extra for connecting other systems to their API, and there are lots of other "extras" that make the cost add up quickly.

Webinars for clients and within the company. Town halls, training, sales meetings, and product launches. We use the poll and the survey features to up engagement and they are easy to set up and use. I like to use the recent highlight feature to point to the Q&A box and get more people to submit questions for the speakers and the moderator.
  • on-demand webcast
  • RTMP streaming
  • simu-live
  • lobby music choice
  • not being able to delete the first slide deck (only replacing is an option)
  • CS rarely reads the event ID in the chat and instead always asks for it
more suited: RTMP streaming, simu-live, on-demand. Product launches, town halls, webcasts, and sales meetings. less suited: for a-synchronous communication and small two-way events. Typically we use it when one or a few presenters need to present and for privacy reasons we can't show the public or have their voices recorded: in this instance the Q&A box does a great job as, compared to a regular chat, it can be moderated before the questions are answered.

For demand generation - lots of webinars. Used for thought leadership and to connect with prospective customers/clients.
  • Easy to use interface.
  • Very little tech problems. easy to connect for producers and presenters.
  • Easily accessible backend reporting.
  • Great customer service.
  • Storyboard. Lately, I have to minimize the window to be able to drag the storyboard and see it. Used to not have this issue.
ON24 is one of the best and easiest platform to use for webinars. I used to use Zoom or Webex and it did not have the same capabilities, and brough it a lot more tech issues. I like that in ON24 if you accidently exit out of the webinar, it doesn't mean the webinar ends, unlike in other platforms. If there are tech problems, its also great to be able to call in. The interface is easy to use and easy for presenters and producers to navigate. I like that the webinars automatically record, you don't have to press an extra button to record which is one less thing to worry about. Unlike other platforms where you'd have to remember to do that. Customer service is also great, always willing to help. Service is quick

ON24 allowed our Digital Customer Success program managers to effectively present product specific and thought leadership content to our customers to improve engagement, adoption, and surface opportunities in the moments that matter. We needed a solution that would seamlessly let us present on-demand and live content to our customers with tools that would allow customers to engage with the material being presented. Additionally, we needed effective reporting to understand customer sentiment in addition to registration and attendance.
  • Engagement tools to help audience members focus on the important pieces of the material.
  • Back end analytics allowed for us to understand customer sentiment.
  • Produce live panel discussions in addition to showing slideware and polls.
  • Use surveys to gather feedback and understand audience interest and intent with flexible question configurations.
  • Unless you had a primary user license, notifying the support team of an issue during a webinar was difficult.
  • Recording audio slide to slide for on-demand webinars was sometimes wonky.
ON24 allowed us to present on-demand or live webinars. Additionally, we could pre-record content and set it up as simu-live which allowed us to more easily interact with the audience's questions. There was also a Sim-2-live feature, which allowed you to play pre-recorded content and would then move you to live audio to give you the opportunity to take questions live. This piece did not allow for us to turn on video so we could be more personable with our audience. This is great if you want a panel discussion, set up a produced video slide presentation, or simply use slides. We only had the webcast elite version, which did not allow us to turn on a feature to allow for our audience to participate vocally. We had to encourage audience members to use the live audience chat which everyone in the audience could see, or share comments questions via the Q&A.

B2B we are doing something around 150 virtual events a year, ON24 helps us to manage the content before and after the events by using their Engagement Hubs for On-Demand videos.

We use ON24 primarily for its event functionality which enables us to record events and play them in the future as if they are live to the audience. This functionality means we only have to record a session once and use it many times rather than have to get everyone together on a regualr basis which can be difficult to facilitate. We also use ON24 for hosting web content which allows us to track user engagement through the analytics section, showing us how many pieces of content users are viewing and therefore giving us an idea of the strength of the lead.
  • Live Events
  • Simulated Live Events
  • Tracking Web Content
  • User experience
  • Support
  • Layout
Depending on what you want to get from the software would be a big factor for why i would personally recommend ON24. If you want to use it primarily for the Events then i would reccomend this as its very user friendly. All presenters can log into the same link and present their pre-uploaded slides without the need to screen-share or switch presenters which can make presentations clunky.

The content tracking and custom landing pages are good but depending on how customised you want to make them there may be limitations. ON24 were good at helping us through trying to get our pages as customised as possible but there are some restrictions of personalisation currently.

We use On24 to run 4-6 virtual events a month education our prospects and customers on challenges pertinent to them and solutions we have here to help them solve these challenges.
  • Lots of opportunity for customization of audience experience via engagement tools
  • In depth reporting on audience engagement and activity
  • Great customer support
  • Decent presenter experience
  • Updated UI
  • Better intergrations with Marketo, Wordpress, and Drift
  • Better documentation
  • Improved speaker camera options (filtering/mirroring)
We often have high volumes of registrants and attendees to our events and have found that many event platforms don't support broadcasting to more than 1000 attendees. On24 allowing unlimited attendees and unlimited webinars has lent itself well to the goals of our event program. It is quite suitable for our hour long webinars, however we have found that for our larger annual user event (multiple days, session tracks, etc.) it is not a good fit.

I am leading the webinar organisations (promotions, setup, monitoring) for EMEA region. After 3 years experience, I am very familiar with the platform. We organised more than 200 customer focused webinars since we started only for our company. It is very easy to set up a webinar, create the registration page and front console. ON24 made some updates to their engagement tools, and they are very useful. Also, connecting via webcam to prerecorded + rollover setup was the most efficient update for me.

Yet, there are still some limitations on designing the event's registration page, front console and engagement hub design. They are improving the features, but there should be more options. Also, there is no video editing option on the platform. Although there is a small issue in the recordings or presentations, we need to reupload the content. Digital events are getting more popular and competitive every day. ON24 should synchronise with other main video platforms easily to increase its visibility. Additionally, it would be great to have some AI generated tools inside of the platform. I think it will change the whole experience to increase the quality of content and usability.

Moreover, ON24 has one of the best support teams anytime when we need it. They are always friendly and responsive. I would like to work with ON24 in the future, but we always need more updates on the platform to catch the fast-tracking improvements in the digital world.
  • Customer support
  • Collecting all webinar reporting
  • Variety of engagement tools
  • Design limitations
  • AI features
  • Online content editing
ON24's support quality makes the biggest difference for me. They are always responsive and helpful for any issues. Also, now very familiar with the platform. It is especially one of the best virtual event platforms for enterprises and big companies. We plan to move more with ON24 in the following years.

ON24 is used as an engagement platform. It provides the ability to have high-quality engaging webinars while being able to save templates and reuse assets. It’s allowed us to scale our program dramatically and increase engagement with webinar-specific tools. The ideal use case is for one to many webinars.
  • Engaging Webinars
  • Quality Video
  • Helpful Support
  • Webinar UI
  • Control of Prerecorded Events
  • Email Setup Difficult
It’s best when you’re doing something you’re comfortable with and follow a checklist. You get the most out of it when you’re comfortable, able to use the UI, and make sure everything is triple-checked. It’s at its worse when you skip any steps, forget any settings, don’t validate your previews, and run into any issues. When it works, it’s perfect, when it doesn't, you have to call support.
