Screen Sharing feature is easier than any other application. Easy to call in via phone to use my personal headset. Quick, and Google Calendar integration is great!
I can't think of many things I don't like about this software!
GO To Webinar has assisted me with the performance calls I do for my job. In these, people from across the country review sales performance and share their screens to talk through things. Of all the softwares I use for these calls, Go To Webinar is by far the most aesthetic and easy to use. I especially love the Google Calendar integration and the application.
Simple to use, easy to set up webinars, automatic reminders and recorded webinars option.
A bit pricey, but it's worth it, as it provides benefits to the company.
It's very good for webinars on demand, as well as live webinars. The system doesn't crash.
Love how easy it is to setup, publish, host and record a webinar. The whole process including the email follow-ups sent to attendees, directly from the platform, makes the whole process easy and complete. Managing panelists, attendees, Q&As, etc are simple and most panelists we've had in our webinars, learned the system UI pretty quick, even though it was their first time using it.
Video stream feature is a great feature, but need to be developed further. We need control over video's volume, timeline scrolling, play and pause, during video stream play back as often our guests will need to explain and talk over the videos. That being said, the auto-mute of the microphone should be an user controlled feature. Right now, when playing videos, Mics will be muted by default, we need to keep reminding guests panelists to remember to un-mute their mics during video playbacks. One more recommendation for them, would be the ability to upload a custom branded image slide that will be on waiting screens until the webinar starts broadcasting.
We are hosting many customers who use our software to plan, design and pre-program stage and lighting shows in 3D, they present and share their workflow, tips and tricks with other customers.
Go Webinar is the most effective tactic for generating high-quality leads. Go to Webinar helps to get connected with audience.It has cool features like Plan, Promote (Event Management) and channel page and go to stage. It has feature of polls and survey through which we can analyze and plan our marketing strategies.
Cognitive biases are common patterns of thinking that have been demonstrated to lead to errors in judgment and poor decision making. No as such issues using go to webinar overall a great platform.
sourcing and amiking intintial engagement with the candidates and recruiting
I like how easy it is to use the app once im directed to it during webinars and video conferences
Sometimes the audio creates static noises
Webinars, video conference, presentations made more accessible
It's relatively easy to use to set up and manage webinars. The user experience is fairly intuitive to know how to manage audio as well as screen sharing and questions. I also love the option to auto record!
I wish there was more flexibility to customize the registration pages and emails
Being able to share content in a 1 to many approach is extremely helpful for interacting with our customers
GoToWebinar works and works fairly well, but there are other webinar tools out there that just seem to work better.
Audio connection issues and software downloading too often
Hosting webinars or meetings.
It is easy to add a gotowebinar directly to my meetings. I like how I can easily share my screen and pause the screenshare if I need to go to a private window. It also allows me to see who registered for the webinar prior to the meeting so I know who my audience is.
Sometimes it is hard to start the meeting and clients have a hard time connecting.
This helps me stay organized with webinars by giving me visibility into who is attending, how to communicate with them via the chat box and how to followup with who attended.
I like how I can easily pass presenter rights and I like the ability to take control of someone's screen. I also like the polls/questions aspect.
I would like to be able to upload my slides to the platform prior to my presentation.
We are solving how we can communicate and share information with customers and prospects.
It's really simple, there's not a lot of guess work in terms of what means what
It looks a bit outdated. Sometimes hard to tell if you're 'live' or not
Helps us give webinars to customers, prospects, etc.
The ability to use dial-in, VOIP, and mobile app. It's also very handy to be able to take over someone's keyboard and mouse for tech support.
Product's desktop look is a bit dated, as well as its registration page and emails.
Phone conferencing, web conferencing, and collaboration with screen sharing.
You can reach out to numerous customers and prospects at once with the webinar portion. We also use GoToMeeting for demos and support where you can do an interactive show and tell with your program and view a customers screen and see what they are doing to help them out. We also record our training videos and webinar and post on our website and YouTube.
We occasionally have issues with the PowerPoint during the presentation.
We can do a show and tell and educate our customers on the use of our products or help with our support team from the comfort of our office.
The functionality and UX is clean and easy to navigate. Compared to WebEx, GoToWebinar provides a user-friendly experience that is quick to learn. The post-webinar options are very easy to use as well. You can quickly download attendance and engagement reports plus the webinar video.
The pre-show and test function is kind of confusing. The keyboard and mouse controls do not work as seamlessly as they could.
We needed to find a solution to help us put on prospect and customer webinars 4-8 times a year. As we ramp up the number of webinars we host, the almost stress-free benefit of using GoToWebinar over WebEx has been great.
email automation and the ability to record
sometimes it's a struggle with my mac laptop and desktop. friends with PC report no problems.
the ability to communicate with people live instead of email/phone/text/fax is very valuable when trying to build relationships
There are so many different aspects about this that come in handy, from the screen share ability to the webcam!
The storage space for recordings is small so you NEED to make sure you convert the video after you recording something.
We host weekly calls and always need to record them for the people who cannot attend live. It is also great for doing on the spot screen share with our agents.
I like that this product allows for a lot of individuals to be on the webinar at the same time.
The training to become an organizer is a little confusing.
We work cross country, cross functions frequently, so GoTo Webinar allows us to have a virtual meeting that feels as productive as face to face.
I like that it has got pretty much everything you need that helps you from planning webinar to webinar registration, hosting, collecting attendance and feedback, as well as follow ups.
There is nothing I really dislike, but one thing to improve upon would be having an official way to join webinar using a web browser, which is available for GoToMeeting but not yet for GoToWebinar. Everytime, we lost an amount of webinar attendees because of this technical issue.
Communication to partners, customers, and leads, as well as lead generation, branding, customer relationship management.
Handles reminders and all back-end parts of webinar creation, leaving just the promotion and content to us.
The recording ability is pretty poor. Any transitions between slides look terrible in the recording due to what I would assume is a bad framerate from recording. We had to purchase a different screen recording software instead of the GoToWebinar version.
Outreach to prospects and clients, sharing new content about our markets and services.
The ability to see who has registered, attended, and at what time is very helpful.
The interface can be difficult to navigate during a session. Tabs are very small and hard to find. There are some features such as poll customization that do not work with certain browsers.
GoToWebinar helps us engage prospects and customers and gives us helpful insights into attendee data.
GotoWebinar has nice automation features that make webinars easier to give. If you record a webinar and want to share it after, it's easy to do. You can even create a gated viewing process that requires an email to see the webinar, which is great for gathering leads and extending your content shelf-life. It also makes the sign up process easy. It's simple and straight forward to add a GotoWebinar sign up form or lightbox to your landing page. We use Unbounce and the integration is great.
The interface isn't super modern looking. I think everything could be designed to look a little less utilitarian, but it does the job so that's what's most important. The chat during a webinar is a little confusing and I've had some issues with it in the past.
We are trying to streamline our processes for webinars and communicating to a large group of people. The benefits are that it is easier to set up sign up and to share the content afterwards. It doesn't have a large learning curve. It automates reminder emails for attendees and creates easy video gates.
