And the simple step-by-step wizard will help you get up and running with the live stream within minutes. This will save tons of time to focus more on building your audience instead of learning how to be a tech. Pros What grab my attention was the east of creating a video splash screen. After entering the back office, I was blown away with all the customization you have and the modern UI. Cons Once in a lifestream you cannot go back because you will be kicked from the session I have to re-login etc. to get back to the live stream. They did not offer a full white label because privacy settings are always going back to there website and there’s no way to redirect or turn this feature off. Review Source EK Elle K. Digital Producer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Amazing customer service behind a great product" January 26, 2021 5.0 We were really thankful to have \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] support us throughout the whole process and provide alternative solutions using their platform for some of our pain points we had with past systems. We were given access to a premium trial account to test out the functionality which gave us more confidence in the software. I highly recommend getting in touch with the Onlive team to work through what your requirements are as they really know how the platform can adapt to your needs! Pros Our team were looking for a subscription-based event booking system that we could spin up with a tight deadline for a client. Out of the solutions we researched, Onlive was by the far had the best/useful features/functionality and was a much cheaper alternative than other platforms. We were impressed at how simplistic and streamline the CMS was to use, while providing a sleek site layout using modern page template layouts and components. It was great that the platform offered two payment gateways for users, provided flexibility in how simple or specific you could build out the form using the form builder as well as including a web app customised for the users/customers. Cons The only con was not having access to the front end code to have the ability to fully customise the site, however, this seems to be a standard practice across every other event booking systems to cover their support (they allowed a CSS file to be imported). This was the only minor thing which was not a concern/game changer for us. Alternatives considered [EventsAir](https://www.capterra.com/p/130158/EventsAIR/)[WordPress](https://www.capterra.com/p/131687/WordPress/)[Umbraco CMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/210590/Umbraco-CMS/) Reason for choosing Onlive These were systems that were previously used or proposed to our client, however they either didn't provide the flexibility/functionality we required, or it went above our budget/deadline.

And be able to track sign-ups easily. Pros It’s user friendly! There are many customizable options, but it’s guided enough to ensure I don’t accidents create something hideous (like creating a personal blog page).
