Practical though passion-evoking, timely though timeless!
In fact, nothing. Believe me or not, there is absolutely nothing to dislike.
Personal as well as professional.
Great for hosting customer webinars and events
Admin side can be a little unintuitive but just takes a bit
Customer events
Stable and reliable solution, easy and simple to use. It has been a pleasant experience without major setbacks, it is true that some things are missing for my taste but the general functionality meets what I am looking for and solve in a fast and practical way.
Some inconveniences when presenting in full screen, during the last two years I have had some problems with some sound and microphone options
Alternative ways to search or locate secure remote sessions in the last two years I have not had major problems in communicating with people from other organizations and attending various events with great stability,
Easy to use interface, lots of tools to handle webinar dmfrom admin and user perspective. Speed of connection and easy management.
User interface can be enhanced, more customizations for look and feel.
If you have to take webinars at scale, record webinars, interact with users with opionions and polls, go to webinar provide all these tools at hand, easy to host for any number of users and easy to share the recordings.
Ease of use. Stability of the platform and long track record for delivering this type of service
Really not much, but would like to see the web based version match all of the features in the downloadable application version.
Ability to continue to provide professional education to our members without the staff time and expense of conducting live, in person events. The big benefit is being able to record our webinars and then sell these after the fact as on demand programs.
gotowebinar is simple and easy to use. it's very reliable and provides the necessary analytics for future webinars at the end of the presentation. nothing fancy about it, but it's everything you'd want to see.
that "welcome to the webinar speech that the text to speech bot says that the beginning of every webinar is ANNOYING. I can almost recite it from memory. Is there a way to turn that off so i don't get those instructions every time?
Gotowebinar links very easily with our CMS, hubspot, so we're able to host and gate all submissions directly on our website. I find this to be the most convenient feature of the software.
It is set up primarily for Webinars, so that function works very well. It is easy to use.
Not much. It is not as great for other purposes.
We do webinars throughout the year to reach both our members and attract new ones. It just plain works.
Ease of use for attendees and panelists. It's very easy to allow panelists to share their screens for presentations. Automated emails used for reminders pre webinar and messages post webinar are great. We also love that we can share the webinar recordings.
Getting it to work on a Mac can be cumbersome the first time. Hitting the 'Start Broadcast' button starts the webinar immediately, it would be nice if there was an 'Are you Sure' prompt or something similar in case that gets hit by accident. Allowing presenters to test their audio and webcam with the software on their own would be amazing. We have to schedule test sessions with the speakers prior to be sure there aren't any issues with the software on their computers.
We were already hosting monthly webinars using GoTo. Once COVID hit, we've switched to weekly webinars to fill that gap in education and have had huge success.
I use GoToWebinar everyday, 3 times a day. The interface is easy to manage and has a professional look. The "Questions" panel captures crucial feedback from customers that enable me to run lead reports.
The platform expériences company wide issues more than any other platform I've used. However, their customer service department is responsive and they send me updates on the issues.
My company provides CPE credit for free to attendees around the country. This could not happen without the support of virtual platforms.
Aside from the ease and convenience of hosting a webinar, it is very easy to have multiple panelists and to have them presenting at different times. The end user experience is also great. Users can view in an app or in a browser.
I can't really think of anything to dislike.
Holding large company meetings with attendees from across the country.
