The simulated live feature is one of the best I've seen so far. The chat playback makes it feel like a live webinar every time, and all that at 0 additional costs! Great customer service, API to connect to build your own integrations, and a number of premade integrations already there. It's just awesome!
The only thing I can say is that the interface is a bit clunky (although far from the competitor's clunkiness (hello GoToWebinar, it's me, your ex-customer)). There are many menus in menus. And there's no mobile app (something you might want if you run webinar funnels powered by ads like me).
The ability to connect with my customers at scale is what really makes WebinarGeek stand out for me. Or should I say? The ease at which they do it. The tool itself is so user-friendly; my mom could use it.
I started using the software in 2019 when I started it out by giving webinars. I was entirely new to giving webinars and the software behind them. I found it easy to learn and use it. The most practical is integrated mailing. It is easy to send subscribers an email when they register and to remind them of the upcoming event and also afterwards. Co-hosts are also easily included, even when your co-host lacks technical background. People find it easy to register en to use it.
While on the one hand, you can quickly adapt the e-mails to your branding, depending on what kind of e-mail you are sending, not all features are available or easy to use (changing font, colour, inserting links) It was easy to integrate with Mailchimp, but in MailChimp itself, I am not interested in the information about the specific link that was sent to that user, nor the time or timezone. I wouldn't say I like how it is imposed on my overall data in Mailchimp; it is there on my form builder (like for your sign-up form, I don't need it there, it doesn't show on my sign-up form, but I can't remove it from my form builder)
It helped me reach people who otherwise would not attend my in-person classes. It made it possible to reach much more people due to the webinar form. People can watch it from home without being on screen, and you can interact through chatting and polls. People who couldn't attend but were interested can watch the replay. Giving webinars helped me make myself more visible and helped grow my email list.
AVG proof, ease of use, pricing, tons of features for analytics as well as CRM related actions
I honestly have none. I'm very satisfied with the product.
No problems. Due to COVID-19 I needed an other option for my keynote talks on stage. WebinarGeek gave the opportunity to quickly setup online keynote sessions in the form of webinars. The best benefit for me is the more direct interaction and contact with my potential clients en customers.
I use WebinarGeek for several of my clients. I really like that they have a fast Dutch support service and that we can make links with MailBlue / ActiveCampaign. These are reasons for me that I like to recommend WebinarGeek to my clients.
I don't miss anything about WebinarGeek.
We can give webinars now that are fully integrated with our activecampaign e-mailsoftware.
The helpdesk of WebinarGeek is very supportive. I was panicking before my first webinar because my presentation couldn't be uploaded. The helpdesk fixed it so I could do my first webinar. And it was a succesful one.
It should be easier to add a new edition of a webinar. The function to add a new one is somewhat hidden.
With WebinarGeek I can set up quickly new webinars and gain new clients.
helpdesk, website is quite clear, follow-up per email
when I pass the link to a finished webinar, I don't get information about who was watching it and how long, etc.
promoting my business and products
WebinarGeek has the great feature that I test the knowledge of the viewers of my webinar. It works great for getting the message across and my viewers like it super much as well!!
WebinarGeek is great! Dont really miss anything
I wanted to share my knowledge about nail styling and pedicure techniques. Other meeting platforms are not very interactive
Their product is really great and easy-going. The colleagues are reachable and really want to help you understand when you have questions.
I don't have any dislikes at the moment.
It has made us aware that even remotely you can achieve a lot with the platform.
Working with WebinarGeek is so easy that I’m pretty sure anyone can use it. Apart from creating a webinar, going live is a breeze. It doens’t take long and I don’t need to have extensive technical knowlegde to get the live webinar up and running.
Nothing to dislike. The software works for my needs.
I can reach a lot more people with just a single webinar.
The statistics from WebinarGeek are mind-blowing. They are very detailed and help me understand my audience better. The help center that they have is useful and the people at the support desk are helpful as well
There is no a downside to WebinarGeek. I wish the advanced plan would be affordable for smaller companies so that I could start with RTMP-streaming and upgrading my home studio
It's much easier to reach out to my customers and tell a bigger audience about my services. Besides that, it helps me to gather information about the attendees.
- super easy to use - helpful and fast feedback when needed - developing further to enhance the system - young driven team
- the size of the notes screen when hosting a webinar
- informing, educating clients
Webinargeek is een fijn systeem om mee te werken. Gemakkelijk in gebruik en als je vragen hebt, kun je die gemakkelijk in de chat stellen. Hier krijg je altijd een snelle reactie. Daarnaast is het mogelijk om een eigen presentatie in te voegen en zijn de koppelingen met mailblue bijvoorbeeld erg fijn!
Eigenlijk zijn er geen dingen die ik niet goed vind.
Ik kan gemakkelijk webinars geven zonder hier zelf dure programma's voor aan te schaffen. Win-win situatie lijkt mij!
It's really easy to organize online classes like this. The follow-up e-mails can also be made in the same software.
No dislikes for now.. it's not possible to say what I don't like
It's easy to interact while teaching a class, without everyone seeing what someone is saying.
Really good: - Delegate experience (browser only, NO audio or video feeds from delegates), - easy 'director' management of video feeds, sharing and slide presentation, - APIary connection to receive bookings from external ticketing programs (CognitoForms via Integromat) - replay possibilities
Minor: - Unable to deliver 2 video feeds simultaneously (eg interviewer and interviewee) - finding broadcast ID to include in API JSON call (doesn't seem to be available from webinargeek dashboard, so have had to craft a special APIary call - dashboard showing OLDEST subscribers first - I'd like to see LATEST subscribers first
Have replaced MS Teams with webinargeek, to - avoid audience interruption (via camera OR audio) - give much easier directorial control
Easy to adopt, use and nice fit to our needs
No connection (yet) to our relations management system
Webinars for hundreds of viewers, more lowkey contact with potential partners en clients
What i like most about webinar geek is their customer service and support
Not very much although I wish the use of custom images was a bit clearer
Delivering my first webinar -- found it easy to use
The best thing is that it is easy to set up your (first) webinar. The interface let's you set it up step by step. Secondly, the team is customer oriented and feels like a group of (highly professional) friends.
I would like to have the option to customize the registration page a bit more. However, this is easily solved by using the embed code on my website.
Reaching a broader audience, automated sending of e-mails before and after the webinar takes place
Easy to use with a lot of features. It always works great, I've never had any issues while hosting my webinar. The customer service is also very good, they reply fast and take your suggestions into account. Overall a very happy customer :)
When you host a webinar with someone else, you can only select one host to be visible at a time while also sharing your slides. The slides also become very small, so it's hard for the host.
It's so much easier to make a connection with my target audience and share my knowledge with them. It's helping me get new clients as well.
It is easy to use and has a lot of features. A very complete webinartool!
Nothing I can think of. I actually am very happy with this tool.
I use it to record all my online teachings for my online Academy and I like it as a professional tool to give webinars.
Easy to set up the webinar Quick response from helpdesk by chat or e-mail. Nice overview of statistics afterwards
It's not possible to program a livewebinar with an automated session (for example plan a live webinar en automated replays in one session).
Before Covid-19 I went to care facilities to give them information about epilepsy etc; now we turned the information-sessions into webinars.
That it is in Dutch! And that you go step by step through process of creating a webinar
Nothing sofar, it works smooth and easy.
I am able to organise webinars on a very easy manner to gain new customers.
Ease of use Functionalities Quick replies from support team
When creating a webinar, you have to set your colors, logo, etc. at every different page and e-mail. It would be easier if you can set these preferences once and it will be applied to all this kind of pages and e-mails.
I use Webinargeek to provide paid webinars. So it generates income for me!
The fast software and marketing orientated options.
The option that you can't change the window size during the sessions
More marketing value and more viewers.
Since I didn't have any experience with building or doing webinars, it was easy to set up. The steps took you through the whole process and with just a litte effort, the webinar was ready to go. For a beginner, I was so proud to have done that all by meself (and the steps of course).
The free version is limited. But that is understandable. I just wanted to see so much more!
Easy set up, professional set up and presentation for your customer. Although you are just a beginner, it is not the software that shows it. Great!
This tool is easy to use and it's nice that you can organize the invitation and follow up all by yourself. A great thing about this tool is that it does not require any software to be installed, which is the case for many other tools.
Because of the use from the webbrowser the connection must be good and stable if you want to give a flawless webinar with WebinarGeek. But actually this always works fine.
We use the tool to organize webinars to our prospects and clients. We can give presentations and interact with them very easily with WebinarGeek. With the Hubspot integration, the leads immediately appear in our CRM.
This morning I gave my third webinar, even though I only started a month ago. WebinarGeek appears to be a clear and simple program to show myself and my service to my (to be) clients in a professional way. As a starting entrepreneur I notice how after 3 webinars WebinarGeek is already a wonderful addition to my marketing and I have good sales so far, so I will definitely keep using it! I love how I can add speaker notes to the presentation so that I never have to look at my paper. I don't even have any separate notes next to it! I am also enthusiastic about the statistics. How cool to get exact insight into the registrations, viewers and viewing behavior. I chose the Premium plan with personal branding. I like the easy adjustments you can do when setting up a webinar. I think it's actually a lot of fun working on it and I find it easy to adjust things. I also like the fact you can 'turn on' interactions during the webinar. I think I will use that more often in the future.
I think I can use some support on fine-tuning the integration with Active Campaign. Although the first steps went all very well. So I have to give myself some time to set it all up the way I like it.
During my first webinar I already met people who were interested in my service as a lifecoach. In the end I sold a program and I know my webinar contributed to that! I already give online workshops where people are using video + audio but this is more accessible to people who don't want to join with video. And... it gives me a professional replay and the statistics are a huge benefit which give me so much more insight!
The amount of features that help me to feel comfortable while presenting my webinar. A lot of possibilities to make my webinar interactive, very easy in follow-up and delivering replays to subscribers. It is a very user-friendly tool for hosting webinars!
Nothing that I really dislike, on some devices there is a little bit of a delay on what I see as a presenter and what listeners see, but this was no problem.
Collecting potential leads for my services, sparing time by using webinargeek for the whole setup of my webinars, better follow up of subsribers,... You can use WebinarGeek for the whole process: plan, invite, host, follow-up,... which makes it very efficient and saves me a lot of time!
WebinarGeek works for everyone, even if you're not a very tech savvy person. Okay, it takes some digging into it, but once you get the hang of it, creating and hosting webinars is just total fun. Of course it all depends on your subscription what's included, but there are so many features and functionalities you get at a very reasonable price. And it makes you look so professional.
I really had to think hard to come up with something I think could be improved. Pretty much says enough I guess. The best thing I can come up with is more flexibility. Maybe it would be nice to not be limited to the specifics of your subscription, but buy extras like a certain amount of viewers or extra team members.
Thing is, you don't want to spend too much time on creating and preparing your webinar, including the marketing part. But you do need it, right? WebinarGeek makes it easy for you. All steps are being presented to you when creating a webinar in their system. You then choose which elements to use (welcome emails, reminder emails, etc.) and customise them as you like. Also, once you have created a webinar, you can copy it so you only need to tweak details for the next webinar. Lovely!
Very easy to set-up and to use. Within 30 minutes you can create your own webinar. Easy to personalise and very intuitive. Very good support and very fast. Good pricing compared with competitors. Easy to clone webinar funnels.
No fix templates for registration pages, thank you pages and e-mail.This would be very handy as you don't have to redo the work.
Lead generation with the organization to webinars. Automated e-mail follow-up.
A week before my training I found WebinarGeek while googling. - It's super easy to set up - You can keep track of registrations - The helpdesk is available all day to answer your questions, but many questions have already been explained on the platform, so you don't always have to switch with someone. - You can apply your own house style colors (at least with the second package). - You can upload slides, so you can easily share slides during your presentation. You could do this by going through your entire slide deck, but you can also pick out a few slides without having to press a 'share screen' button each time. Works very well! - You can set the program so that your training is automatically recorded. Some trainers sometimes forget to record the training from the start. With this function you no longer have to think about this.
I miss two things in the program: - You can send emails to viewers and non-viewers. Unfortunately, you cannot see who ultimately opened the mail. - You can build these e-mails in your own house style. Only the format is fairly fixed. It is not possible to add extra text boxes or buttons. But these are of course points that do not weigh up against the functionality that the program offers during the webinar.
I used to give webinars on a different platform. Since my training registrations grew to over 50, I wanted a platform where people couldn't see each other, but only see me.
