### "Reliable platform for live webinars "

December 6, 2019

5.0

I feel that GoToWwbinar is a great tool with a powerful interface and there are a few aspects that could be improved. The pricing is a bit steep especially for SMEs and they will feel the crunch as the lowest priced plan does not include webcast, which should be a given. Overall I do recommend.

Pros

GoToWebinar is a great platform for hosting live webinars for large audience. I am happy with the simplicity of the software that allows users to present with screen display via a stable and reliable tool. It does not crash neither does the screen freeze or other technical issues such as audio dropping, even in webinars with an audience larger than 100 attendees. It truly makes attending webinars a breeze.

Cons

Technical issues such as visual disruption or audio disruption have not been a major bother for me at all. However I feel that it is cumbersome for people having to download the application to view and attend webinars. Secondly the view for attendees is a bit unorganised and would need to be tested prior to presenting.

### "So Easy to Use"

September 24, 2019

5.0

GoToWebinar has been a great tool for us when working with intermediaries who host webinars. We are very familiar with the software and enjoy using it over some competitors with an interface that lacks in comparison.

Pros

GoToWebinar is another stallworth in the collection of Citrix products. GoToWebinar is great for web conferences and uses the same familiar interface as the other products that are related to it. The phone conferencing is easy to use and reliable and the viewing interface is also easy to understand.

Cons

It should be explored to merge GoToWebinar into GoToMeeting. The two softwares seem very similar and it is perplexing why a separate product might exist. I think it would be feasible to combine these two products while I do understand the technical differences.

### "Great for long distance calls!"

October 17, 2018

4.0

Pros

So I have used this in the past to conduct professional webinars in large organizations... what's great is that you can just send a message out to everyone and people are able to join this with pretty simple instructions

Cons

It is not adaptive to switching in and out of mobile data and wifi - this needs work

### "All webinars are hosted by GTW"

February 5, 2021

5.0

Every webinar I participate uses GTW, I interact as much as I can with the speakers, I'm a videoconference professional so I know the perks of videoconferencing and the bottom line is that is the perfect platform for webinars. My recommendation, get a nicer webcam! The experience will be great for all participants and speakers.

Pros

Easy to use, I click the link and everything happens so nicely and automatic. The tools in the side really intuitive, I participate a lot in webinars and I'm grateful there is a platform that works perfect and allows us to have a great webinar experience

Cons

The looks of the platform is a bit low designed and may be improved, also I always close the side menu, I wish it started with the menu closed.

### "Decent for what it is, I've never tried an alternative though"

February 14, 2020

4.0

Not bad, I love Google products so I can't hate on GoTo Webinar too much. Does the job!

Pros

Haven't found a competitor that I can truly compare this product to. BUT, it's usually worked for me, I've joined plenty of webinars, but setting up your own can be tricky.

Cons

Setting up webinars can be tricky. I know I was pretty confused and had to look up instructions online.

September 26, 2018

5.0

Worked as expected and allowed transfer of information fluidly.

Pros

The functionality of screen sharing combined with audio brings presentations into focus anywhere. No need to sit in a board room after waiting in traffic for 45 mins just to be 15 minutes late for something you could have witnessed from home.

Cons

Did not experience any software issues while using.

### "Great when you need lots of attendees"

March 29, 2020

4.0

Functional and reliable at scale, just a bit dated in visuals.

Pros

We've been trying to stream classes at scale given COVID school shutdowns and GoToWebinar has been really helpful for that. The main reason why we used GoToWebinar is because they allowed us to have a 2,000 attendee cap, which was more prodigious for the price point compared with other options.

Cons

The user interface can be a bit confusing and dated compared with other video conferencing software (though they may not be as good for webinars) like Zoom. For instance, the presenter interface looks like it's from 1999. However it is still generally functional.

### "Best solution for Video Conferencing and Online Meetings"

November 28, 2021

4.0

Pros

GoToWebinar classroom management is excellent. This video conferencing platform is powerful and stable. Hosting event is simple. In classroom more then 100 students can join at one time and the presenter can present with out any hustle. For students or attenders it is very simple and easy to join meeting or class. The user interface is excellent.

Cons

GoToWebinar reporting is poor. This platform requires strong internet connection. Pricing is overvalue.

I like the compatibility of the platform across different operating systems. Good streaming software for video and audio virtual meetings and conferences.

### "Impressive webinar and conferencing software "

July 1, 2023

5.0

I would suggest going for this software for both small and large audiences.

Pros

It is a fantastic webinar software that has many essential capabilities to organize a mass conference call.

Cons

The Question and Answer session can be made a littler better by use of emojis or handraise icons that can maintain discipline.

Webinars and meeting scheduling across multiple regions.

### "For delivery to the masses, this is it"

January 8, 2019

5.0

At my last position, we delivered a podcast 3-5 times a week. It was relatively easy to organize it weeks in advance and super easy to deliver it daily.

Pros

\- The ability to broadcast to thousands at a time - Easy to use and familiar interface - Handy dandy features not available on competitors offerings

Cons

\- Kinda pricey - Sometimes tinkering with settings can be tricky

### "It does what you need it to."

May 19, 2019

5.0

Simple and easy to use. GoToWebinar is one of those softwares that do all the work for you. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure it out.

Pros

Organization for what we use it for is the best part of GoToWebinar. Everything is clear and concise and where it is supposed to be. List of recorded webinars, who has registered, future webinars. All important things needed when you host weekly webinars. Need to make a change? Changes are quick and easy. You can download your recorded webinars and send them to where the need to go if need be. Nothing is hard. Nothing takes time it really does the work for you.

Cons

The only problem i have encountered so far is that sometimes the recordings don't record. You will host the webinar and then go to my recordings and for whatever reason it wont be there or you’ll have to sign out and sign back in to see the webinar.

### "Still the best after 7+ years :)"

March 4, 2022

5.0

Pros

I've always found GoToWebinar to be the most intuitive webinar software on the market. I've worked with 5+ clients to quickly onboard, setup, manage, and run webinars in a way that is both satisfactory for the user and attendee.

Cons

I really can't think of any thing that I like least about GTW.

### "It's perfect for my webinar needs"

June 6, 2018

5.0

I can always stay at home while teaching other people anywhere in the world. It really helps a lot.

Pros

I've been using this for a couple year. I really like how easy it was to start a webinar in seconds. They also have a mobile app which is a great help! Most of my viewers are using their mobile devices to attend the webinar

Cons

Sometimes, some of my viewers who are using MAC said that they are having a problem with writing a message in the chatbox. When they are typing a message, the cursor lost its focus and they need to click the chat box again to continue writing. Maybe it's a compatibility issue with their device.

### "Locked-In to Old Contract with Fewer Features - Avoid Auto-Renewal"

May 15, 2020

3.0

I subscribed to a "Starter" service on an annual basis three years ago, providing my credit card for automatic renewal. When I tried to upgrade to the new plan, I found the upgrade path to be opaque and difficult to access. I simply wanted to add features that had become newly available. The price on the plan I was seeking was a bit lower, but I was willing to accept the difference and not require a refund. The only option I was offered was to cancel the account! Other people in my network use GoToMeeting and have had similar problems. There are better platforms available, but if you use decide to use GTW or GTM, do not use the automatic renewal feature; it's not worth the hassle.

Pros

Once you get up to speed with its quirks, it's easy to use.

Cons

Synchronization between video and audio drops off and is difficult to restore.

October 25, 2018

5.0

I use GotoWebinar with several clients for online meetings and mass presentations. It really works well and allows my clients to showcase their products or conduct larger scale meetings online. I rarely have a client who has an issue using the software or having someone complain about not being able to join. All in all this is an excellent software package and I would highly recommend it to anyone who needs to have mass meetings with people online.

Pros

\- Really simple to join meetings and interact with other meeting members - Solid interface and easy to understand controls - Excellent, reliable service - Good customer support - Ability to record meetings and presentations

Cons

\- A bit more expensive than some other similar products
