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.

Return on Investment

Providing a low price point webinar solution.

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.

Alternatives Considered

ON24, Zoom and webinar.net
