Overall, it offers some nice features and seems to work well. Cons I wish it offered some features that GoToWebinar offers, for example, the tracking link portion. Being able to create unique tracking links for different marketing sources was great on GTW, but BrightTalk doesn't offer this yet. Review Source YK Yong K. Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Review for BrightTALK Channels" January 9, 2023 5.0 Pros It is easy to use and allows you to build a channel of recorded webinars that can be promoted indefinitely. Cons BrightTALK Channels is a great software, but not perfect. Review Source FB Francesca B. Sr. Customer Marketing Program Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "BrightTalk is just Ok" December 5, 2019 3.0 We wanted to do webinars at scale. What's happening is that our webinar registrants are now "subscribers" to their channels and get solicited to join irrelevant webinars. Pros In theory, BrightTalk could be a powerful webinar tool. By utilizing their platform, you gain access to their communities of subscribers -- so a lead gen benefit. Cons BrightTalk falls short. The interface isn't great. The end-user experience is bad. And the brand customization is limited. Review Source Response from BrightTALK December 6, 2019 Hi Francesca Thank you for sharing your response. It's our #1 priority that our platform is delivering value for our audiences and clients alike. I will reach out directly to discuss your concerns, but to address your feedback: - Brand customization is one of the areas we shine compared to alternatives, so let's discuss if you're aware of all the functionality in the platform. - We just launched talks, which clients are calling the most modern and intuitive interface for live webinar and video talks they have seen. Again, let's make sure you're using this and getting value from this. - Building a community of subscribers is what drives record-breaking views and repeat engagement for our clients. - Recommendations are AI-powered and based on historical views of a user. The accuracy of the recommendations have generated 2-3x lifts in re-engagement. Our users LOVE the accuracy of our recommendations. So I want to better understand which examples you're referencing. Thank you again! Elizabeth O.

Very useful and helpful during the lockdown period. Display and layouts are quite interesting and creative. Overall experience is satisfactory. Cons The price is expensive so for a small project is not really affordable. Although with the quality and result we experienced, it’s still quite accaptable Review Source Charles R. Vice President of Product Development and Senior Consultant Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great webinar tool that gave us access to a built-in audience" November 7, 2017 5.0 We like having access to a built-in audience of HR people. It also curates other audiences besides HR. Pros We use BrightTALK to access their large built-in HR audience. When we post a webinar, the tool promotes it to like-interest subscribers. It is like owning a YouTube channel for webinars. It is easy to use and allows you to build a channel of recorded webinars that can be promoted indefinitely. Cons It does not have all of the flexibility and power of GoToWebinar. There is a 30-second delay. You have to load the slides before the webinar. You have to use Join.me if you want to share your screen as opposed to the loaded slide deck. Review Source BN Bonnie N. Partner Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Way too many follow on emails" March 10, 2020 3.0 I recommended that we not use this software for events because of the amount of email suggestions that were sent out after signing up for an event. We would not want our customers to think that we were pushing any of that to them or have them not register for an event to avoid the emails. Pros The ease of sharing events with partners and clients was great and very simple. Graphics are sharp and clear as you create the events. Cons After accepting an event I was receiving multiple emails a day for other events I may like to attend. I had a hard time turning this off and ultimately unsubscribed.

It really helps people when they want to develop their skill at home using webinar Cons The price is quite expensive in this economic crisis Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Business Development Manager Information Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Marketing Tool to Expand Your Webinar’s Audience" June 23, 2020 4.0 The platform is user-friendly and a great marketing tool for holding a webinar session. However, some features could be updated to suit different types of webinar. Pros BrightTALK is not only a platform to organise a webinar but it also helps us to expand the audience for our webinar. It’s easy to use and navigate. Cons There is no comment box provided during an active webinar session so the webinar can only be a one-way communication, not interactive. The range of audience targeted by the platform is broad and thus less targeted depending on the topics or industry. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Hotel Management Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Brighttalk hepls organized webinars and bring many attendees" June 17, 2020 4.0 It was good. Pros It helped bring many participant to the webinars Cons Despite the quality I think the price is very expensive. Review Source AP Astaeka P. Marketing Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "BrightTalk helps you promote your webinar" May 31, 2020 3.0 Happy that BrightTalk help promote my webinars but less in terms of user friendliness. Pros This software give advantage to promote the webinar to its network and can help you with lead generation. Cons Even though in terms of promotion this application helps a lot to bring leads, in terms of user experience, BrightTalk is not very intuitive. Review Source VV Varun V. Head of Demand Gen Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good platform, expensive if you want to realize strong ROI" November 11, 2021 4.0 Pros Ease of use, intuitive, accessible/unique/engaged audiences Cons High barrier to scaling registrations -- a lot of people don't want to create an account and it reduces conversions (in my experience) Review Source ST Sita T. Art Producer Performing Arts Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great option for online webinars!" September 20, 2020 4.0 Pros It's easy to run a webinar with this software, with helpful customer service. Cons There are minor issues but overall amazing!
