Great inexpensive alternative in the webcast arena
WebinarJam is the selection I made to deploy a series of live webcasts to fellow digital marketers in agriculture and food. The options are many but the cost structures didn't make sense since we are a start-up and aren't certain this series would amount to anything. WebinarJam was priced well and the functionality gave me everything I wanted.
- Customization - All aspects of the look and feel are available and you don't have to code anything (even if you want to).
- Integration - It was easy to integrate the tool with our ESP.
- Event options - The sound, connectivity, and delivery of the event were solid.
- UX - The UX isn't perfect for those setting up and delivering the webcasts.
- Limitations - My version can only have two other speakers. I wish it was more.
- Technology - It's tough to know if some sound issues were user problems or tool problems.
I use WebinarJam to broadcast webinars and trainings to my audience and my clients' audiences. It's a great tool to build and host webinars, especially since they upgraded the Jam Room. When WebinarJam was hosted on Youtube it was very difficult to use and never seemed to work when you needed it to. You can connect dynamically with your audience using this tool, and it's simple to set up.
- Easy to set up since they upgraded to the Jam Room
- Video injections
- Offers with links can pop up when you want them to
- Live chat makes it easy to connect with the attendees
- Easy to launch
- Integrates with the other tools I use
- It takes a while to set up a webinar correctly.
- The templates for opt-in pages, thank you pages, and waiting rooms are pretty weak
- Sometimes doesn't work great on mobile for some people.
- Takes a lot of bandwidth but that's true of all webinar services.

Best quality-price ratio in webinar software
Our marketing/sales department use WebinarJam and EverWebinar for different purposes. First, we have different demo webinars scheduled to go live every day for people who are looking to learn more about our software. One of the great advantages of these sessions is that we can collect contact information from people who are already interested in our product, so we can always get in touch. And second, we also use WebinarJam to run webinars with other partner companies -- it makes it extremely easy to organize and design all marketing collateral needed (landing pages, emails, etc).
- Extremely easy and fast to set up.
- Web-based! You don't need to download or install any software.
- Very competitive price compared to other alternatives.
- You can host your own landing pages with your own design, which is great. But if you're not a designer and you just want to use one of their templates... they're not great. They're not bad either, but they haven't been updated in a while so they could use some fresh design.
- Webinar video files are hosted on youtube instead of WebinarJam itself. Sometimes you can see the youtube logo while watching a replay, which is not great.
- Just general improvements/redesigns. I don't think they've updated their dashboard since I started using it. Again, it works just fine, but I'd appreciate some upgrades from time to time.

Review from a Longtime WebinarJam User
At Achieveit360 we use WebinarJam for informational webinars. When we are looking to promote a new program or service, we can quickly set up a webinar, with an easy to use dashboard, to promote our programs. We have used more expensive webinar platforms in the past, but as a small business, there is no need to pay high monthly fees for a webinar service. We are happy with the years of service with WebinarJam, will continue to use it, and notice that many others still use it also.
- ADMIN/USER STRENGTHS: Easy to use the dashboard to start a webinar on demand, or schedule one in the future. Each step has a video tutorial made to set you up for success, understanding each set-up step along the way. If I want to practice a session live, I can set up a webinar instantly (called Right Now-takes 6 clicks and 30 seconds to set this up), and stream it through my YouTube Channel, or schedule a full campaign for a later date (takes about 10 minutes) and drive people to attend. I can set up one date, or multiple dates. It's very easy to follow the nine initial steps to (configuration, schedule, registration, notifications, integration, thank you, live, replay and finish) setting up your webinar. Once you have created a campaign, you can always clone them for future use.
- ADMIN/USER STRENGTH: You can inject a pre-recorded video seamlessly. Let's say you did an incredible sales pitch on one of your webinars, you can inject this into future webinars to ensure a perfect presentation.
- ADMIN/USER STRENGTH: Poll your customers BEFORE the webinar, on the registration page to find out what they are looking for, why they have signed up, to be sure the presenter covers each participant's needs.
- ADMIN/USER STRENGTH: Autoresponder reminders can come from Webinar Jam (this is what I have always done to keep it simple) or integrate it with the top systems (AWeber, Active Campaign, Infusionsoft, IContact, MailChimp, ConvertKit, Drip, Kartra, Zapier).
- ADMIN/USER STRENGTH: I can set up a replay for those who missed the event, or even a replica replay where I can go into the video, fix up my sales presentation, and add a new video for people to see. I can also see who watches the replay.
- ADMIN/USER STRENGTH: In the analytics page I can see the numbers of people who visited the webinar registration page (to get an idea of how popular my topic was/change headings or topics if it's low, keep presenting if there's a high number), registrants, people in the room when I go live, and numbers for those who watched the replays. I can connect my autoresponder to communicate with people who missed the webinar/replay vs those who attended and even can see when people dropped off so I know if they were engaged for the entire webinar.
- SUPPORT: It's there if you need it, but you do need to be proactive. Sometimes you need help immediately and that's just not going to work with WebinarJam. You must learn to practice, test and be prepared for a webinar (a few days before you plan to go live to iron out any technical issues) without relying on their support team 2 minutes before your webinar. Join their FB page, read common questions that come up, get involved helping others, and you will be successful. If you are not the pro-active type, I would recommend a different software.
- CHANGES: There are times software changes, and the team communicates the changes, and what you must do, but again, like the other point, you must learn to be proactive to learn and understand them. Example: the transition from Google Hangouts to Youtube a few years ago (had to learn how to do this) and now we must keep up to date on how WebinarJam works or does not work (it says it is not currently integrating with FB Live). Logging into the system and reading the messages is all you need to do, but if you are not proactive at doing this, it's not the software for you.
- MORE ONGOING COMMUNICATION AND SUPPORT TO USERS: This could be improved with more training videos and communication to users. That said, there is training there, it just depends on how much you need.

Easy to use webinar tool
We use WebinarJam to create, organize and manage webinars for our company. The tool is usually used by the marketing department, as they're the ones in charge of the lead generation. It's a tool that makes it easy to set-up, edit, and manage your webinar, related notifications and webinar recordings. Overall, it's a great lead generation tool.
- It's easy to set up. Even if you don't have too much skill when it comes to technical set-up, the tool has a very user-friendly interface that allows you to create and set up your webinar in just a few minutes.
- Easy and reliable integrations. The tool integrates easily with multiple tools, and it's also on Zapier in case you need some additional functionalities.
- Testing links. This one is my favorite! The tool generates test links for you to practice delivering your best presentation, without harming your initial webinar setup.
- Landing pages. The designs are pretty limited and repetitive, our company is always using our own designs.
- Text limitations. You don't have a lot of room when it comes to text and webinar descriptions during the setup. If you stay away from long titles you should be good.
- Pricing. The tool is definitely not cheap. If you're not planning to have regular webinars on it, you should look into something smaller and more budget-friendly.

A great platform to engage your audience!
We used WebinarJam at my software startup to conduct webinars of our product, where we educated our prospective customers on the benefits of our product through an interactive presentation. We were able to achieve this through WebinarJam as it allows for interactive polling with the audience. It helped us get our message across when we hosted 50 - 100 people on each webinar. In addition, we used it to provide ha ands-on demo of our product which was well received. We used WebinarJam to get quick feedback on our product as well. We only used WebinarJam for sales and lead generation purposes and utilized it to get our product more exposure for little setup.
- Interactive polling. Really easy to get a poll started and get quick answers.
- Quick feedback. You can set it up to get quick feedback on your presentation/webinar.
- Easy setup. WebinarJam is really easy to setup and share with your audience.
- Pricing. Pricing can get expensive as your business expands.
