Overall Satisfaction with GoTo Webinar

We use it to host internal and external-facing webinars. We are currently using it to host a quarterly Product Event for our customers and prospects and it has been a great way to share content with the industry during this time of remote working. It has helped us stay in front of our customers without being able to connect with them face-to-face.
  • Auto-recording.
  • Preview of screen sharing.
  • Multiple speaker sharing/organization.
  • Reporting - cannot create reports on multiple sessions in one view.
  • Unique backgrounds (like Zoom).
  • Some settings are automatically turned off, like capturing webcams while recording, and that has created some issues when we don't test a session prior to recording.
  • Great lead generator, when paired with a Marketing Automation system.
  • Recorded sessions help us create video content faster and easier.
  • Hitting high registration numbers, but not so high attendance.
Very easy to use, and has had some great improvements in the last few years. About 2 years ago, I considered switching, but the new features that allow you to see what you're presenting, practice, and auto-record has made being a GoToWebinar host much more laid back and easy to do.

Do you think GoTo Webinar delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with GoTo Webinar's feature set?

Yes

Did GoTo Webinar live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of GoTo Webinar go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy GoTo Webinar again?

Yes

GoTo Webinar is great for sharing content with a large group of people, but it could use some work on the interactivity of sessions. Virtual events have become more interactive and need to be more than just a webcam/presentation these days. By enabling more audience interaction features, I think it would be used more by Enterprise companies.
