### "have only used as consumer, not to broadcast my own webinar"

September 12, 2018

5.0

very positive. I like webinars when it is a subject I am interested in. Would love the ability to pause, rewind and review, but you can't have everything, especially in a live broadcast.

Pros

I first encountered GoToWebinar on a blog site/newsletter I was already following, from a source I was likely to trust and want to learn more from. I have encountered several webinars through them since, from fine arts marketing to writing classes, to spiritual/religious broadcasts, and even special needs interest seminars. It is a terrific tool for accessing audio/visual media and content. The connections were smooth and reliable, could handle the demand of many hundreds of viewers at once, stored content for later review, and in some cases, allowed interaction.

Cons

I'm not a fan of filling my phone up with apps, so I deleted GoToWebinar for now, until I have need of it the next time.

### "OPENS CONFERENCE DOORS WHEN TRAVEL IS NOT POSSIBLE"

August 11, 2020

5.0

IT HELPS MY BUSINESS WITH THE FACT THAT I AM ABLE TO BE TRAINED WITHOUT THE TRAVEL OR OFFICE CLOSURE. AND THAT IS VITAL FOR BUSINESS SURVIVAL AND PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE.

Pros

LETS START WITH THE FACT THAT MANY PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY AND OR AROUND THE WORLD CAN COME TOGETHER FOR A LEARNING SESSION. THAT WE CAN ASK QUESTIONS WITHOUT INTERRUPTING THE PRESENTER. THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO WORK BY SETTING THE MUTE WHEN A CLIENT COMES IN. THIS IS GREAT PROGRAM

Cons

THERE IS ONLY ONE FEATURE I WAS NOT FOND OF, THE UTILITY SCREEN HIDES ITSELF WHEN I WANT IT TO STAY OPEN, AND ALSO I LIKE TO SEE WHAT QUESTIONS OTHERS HAVE, AND IT DOES NOT SHOW THAT...

### "The Best Presentation Software For Small Businesses & Corporations Alike"

June 30, 2021

4.0

GoTo Webinar is an extremely easy, fun and great product to help various companies jump into the world of online seminars and events. It allows professionals from small businesses to large corporations to be on equal footing when it comes to putting on we'll thought out and slick press stations. There's no way to go wrong with this product!

Pros

The software is extremely intuitive and easy to use. It takes away a lot of the stress out of when it comes to setting up an event or work seminar.

Cons

It takes a little bit of a learning curve at first, which may scare off newbies, but once you figure it out, everything else comes naturally.

### "Good webinar product with a lot of options"

December 19, 2018

5.0

Pros

We use GoToWebinar for our webinars because it is easy to set up, offers a lot of useful options and the quality of the broadcast is always very good. Depending on your needs GoToWebinar offers many optional addons like streaming video which is very important nowadays.

Cons

The licencing model of GoToWebinar is pretty hard to understand

### "User friendly and easily accessible "

July 3, 2018

5.0

Pros

GoTo meetings is user friendly and easily accessible. I love the chat feature and the ease of being able to join webinars and chat with other attendees. I like all the email confirmations so I don't forget when I signed up for the meeting! Reminders are great!

Cons

It can be a little slow or lag a bit if you are accessing it on the iPhone app, and cut out or freeze/ pause

### "They have been working on this type of system for a while and it shows!"

July 18, 2019

5.0

We tried different softwares for webinars, free and paid, and overall GTW ended up being the most reliable and easy to use. We didn't have to have a lot of training for our presenters, in some cases they would just log in the day of the webinar and they were connected without a problem.

Pros

The connection is the most reliable we had from similar types of softwares tested. That is the most important feature for us and GTW delivered.

Cons

It would be great to have the feature to play prerecorded videos as if it were coming from the presenter in the most basic plans and not only the premium ones.

### "Great for Webinars"

February 18, 2021

4.0

Overall it's a great platform for hosting webinars. Not sure how it would be for individual 1:1 conversations but it's great for hosting webinars.

Pros

I like that there are lots of features and the process is simple to create a meeting. There is an option to have a separate chat window and it makes it nice to host webinars. You can mute attendees and each individual attendee cannot see who else is on the call, just the webinar hosts.

Cons

There have a been a few times where the webinar has stopped in the middle of the presentation. Our clients have gotten kicked out. The chat feature during the webex session will also populate to the upper right-hand corner and sometimes gets overlooked for our clients.

### "Watch Webinars with comfort and ease"

September 12, 2023

4.0

My colleagues and I like to continue our education through watching webinars. Many of them are hosted on GoTo Webinar. It is pretty easy to watch, and the recordings always work well. I never have any trouble figuring out the controls for the platform, but some may. I like to imagine that my parents would struggle a lot to figure out the small arrow that pops up the rest of the controls.

Pros

One thing I do quite like is the separate space for questions. This leaves the chat free. Additionally, it is nice that I am typically placed in viewer only mode. I never have to worry about being unmuted, or accidentally turning my webcam on.

Cons

The automated voice at the beginning, which is always annoying. Additionally, the program always unmutes my computer as soon as I join, which typically gives me a jumpscare.

### "Great for Hosting Events"

February 10, 2021

4.0

Overall, we are big fans of GoToWebinar. It gives us a medium to host events that we otherwise would not be able to. It was very straightforward to set up and easy to use to host these events.

Pros

We are a big fan that we can use GoToWebinar to host events such as townhalls and informational webinars. It allows us to reach a large amount of people in a pretty seamless fashion.

Cons

Some of our clients say that it is hard to use on their end. Also, it seems like when we are presenting a PowerPoint that we lose the functionality of the viewers seeing our panelists.

### "Equally Comparable to Similar Products"

January 13, 2023

4.0

Overall, I have used multiple virtual webinar software and this is equal to others.

Pros

This is extrememly comparable to other virtual meeting software. No major kinks or issues. Sounds and videos come in clear and utilizes most of the same features as the "bigger name" softwares.

Cons

The meeting link changes, which can be difficult to input due to the length if you can't just click on it.

### "Eased Up our Weekly Webinars"

March 14, 2021

5.0

Amazing online tool to schedule your webinars, track the traffic and publish to other streaming services afterwards.

Pros

Super easy to setup webinars for the team. Used it for all our webinars across the company.very good tracking of registrants and people that joined eventually the webinar. Easy to schedule webinars! You are also having the possibility to record and download the webinars directly from the platform.

Cons

When we started using GoToWebinar, we have had a few users with the same credential. I a user was taking longer than expected while presenting, the next user that logged in and started his webinar cut-off the running event. Also, some users encountered issued with sound, this was mainly due to a bad internet connection.

### "Easy planning and coordinating meeting"

November 1, 2022

5.0

Training is made simpler. Interviewing potential employees is an easy. We no longer have to wait long times for interviewing and saves commute times.

Pros

Able to use with ease. Can invite those directly involved to get a quick response. Multiple ways to audio features if your computer doesn't have a mic. I find this tool easy to use.

Cons

Some times the "sounds/Audio" isn't that great. Could be internet connection or phone connection. Honestly, this is the only issue so far that I have encountered.

### "Great software"

May 1, 2018

5.0

Pros

Great software, I've used it from the non-admin/non-facilitator aspect of the software and it was very clean and easy to use. There was a lot of cool features and prompts that were used throughout the webinar that I attended that made it very interactive to be a part of, especially compared to other software platforms I've used.

Cons

I cannot accurately say what was was wrong with this software if anything as I've only used it in a limited fashion. That being said, it is clearly designed for a larger company that requires multiple webinars a month to make the price worth it. That being said, from the aspect of the user, it seemed to be well worth the price tag!

### "Good for testing the waters of webinars"

March 10, 2020

4.0

Its a great product with great support but only if you're dipping your toes into what a true webinar is. If you have a really small audience and its used to give them some kind of monthly or quarterly update where you're not asking much in terms of engagement, its great.

Pros

It is easy to use, implement, and very affordable.

Cons

It is very limited in its feature set and really isn't build for what I would consider an actionable webinar. You simply can share a recording of the event for those that miss (in the case of webinars, thats a good percentage who register and plan to watch at a later date) but your post live attendees can't do much after that.

### "Gotowebinar is one of my preferred webinar tool"

July 23, 2019

5.0

One of the best pieces of webinar software I have come across

Pros

It is simple to use and configure, easy for the instructor and quick and simple for the student, but all sort of features included to combine an almost perfect tool

Cons

Sometimes I need to try twice to enter the meeting. I know it is my PC though, but it is still unpleasant

### "Good software overall"

October 31, 2019

5.0

It was fine, but not my first choice due to the difficulty of use.

Pros

It seemed as though it was a fave selection by the group who held the meetings. It was steady and didn't cut in and out once it was set up correctly.

Cons

The software isn't user-friendly and there were constant glitches during calls and meetings. There were multiple times I lost executives during meetings.

### "GoToWebinar review"

June 17, 2021

4.0

Good, the recordings and saved chatboxs made it easier to compile meeting minutes. Furthermore, sharing your screen or moving to a different presenter usually went smooth enough and made the sharing a meeting with out of town speaker possible (which was incredibly important for the heath department)

Pros

1) The ability to share between presenters and that you could make someone a presenter if you needed to. 2)That you could record the meeting and keep a record of the attendees. 3)That you could save the chat questions.

Cons

Trying to call until a meeting was sometimes difficult. You also had to make sure you provided the right code if you were a presenter. Sometimes it would be difficult to mute a specific attendee. Getting interrupted by hold music or someone who thought they were muted was common.

February 28, 2020

It's easy, it's simple and it's good. One of the best webinar platform.

Pros

I liked that you can join any webinar via link on the internet. I have attended several webinars on different platforms but it is Best in all of them.

Cons

It should confirm the identity of the person attending the webinar to get the credibility of the Webinars.
