Not my favorite choice, but a lot of room for improvement
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use it for clients webinars from 30-50 to 1,000 attendees. The team I work in has delivered hundreds of webinars using this platform in 2023, making it the most used webinar platform this year for our external webinars. Our clients are pharma, biotech, medtech, nutraceutical companies and also associations.
Pros
- calendar tool on the registration page
- being able to embed videos on the registration page
- note tool for presenters
- large number of attendees allowed
Cons
- connectivity for presenters is not easy and not user friendly enough
- you can't just choose CET time, you need to display a city in CET time
- no blurred background
- no virtual background
Likelihood to Recommend
If price is not an object, I would always prefer ON24 rather than webinar.net. However, ON24 is much more expensive.
Webinar.net is owned by 6connex, so the integration of webinar.net in 6connex is recommended if you need to host a webinar in a 6connex environment.
Support staff is nice, but not knowledgeable enough and takes too long.
When a presenter plays a video they get muted automatically, even if the video has no sound! So you then have to either unmute the speaker yourself or having him/her doing it which adds to the stress of the moment.
We have had a few cases when email reminders didn't go out, even if programmed and saved correctly.
