Kate: Hi, I'm Kate. I'm a content marketing manager, and I would rate Livestorm four out of five stars. For more reviews, click below. So before we were using Livestorm, we used Crowdcast, and honestly, it worked fine for some of our live demos, but I wanted something a little bit more interactive and easier to track. So basically, easier to track when people would sign up from different sources, whether that was email or social media or our website, and Livestorm gave us all that tracking capability. At the end of every webinar, we could track where somebody came from and then pretty much all of their information, and it would just sync it into our CRM. Livestorm really provided everything that we needed. It's definitely a wonderful platform if you're doing events with multiple sessions or events with a single session, like webinars. There are some more expensive software out there for bigger events, but Livestorm is the best for those one off-events like webinars, and that's really why we went with them. They're very affordable. It was incredibly easy getting started with Livestorm. The whole system is very intuitive and they have a wonderful support system. We did have a call with somebody who helped us with onboarding, and then honestly, after the fact, if I had any questions, it was really easy to reach out to them, and they would even reach out on a regular basis just to make sure everything was working properly. So, like I said earlier, if you have any events that are larger than either a one-off or a series of events, like say you're trying to do an online conference with multiple sessions, Livestorm may not be for you. But if you're looking for the best webinar tool out there, Livestorm is the one.
