What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

We used GoTo Webinar for our Webinar launches, and it works pretty well.

"GTW is very user friendly!"
What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

One great item that it seems no other platform offers is the ability to give more than one person (panelist or organizer) keyboard and mouse control so that the transition between speakers is nearly seamless. This seems so basic, but most other platforms don't have this capability-- but should!

What do you dislike about GoToWebinar?

If you are in start mode, waiting to officially begin the live webinar, you cannot allow the presenter to test the PowerPoint polls, etc. one last time without the audience seeing the screen.

What problems is GoToWebinar solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been able to offer so many live webinars to a vast, international audience! Scheduling the webinars is fast, easy and flexible and the variety of reports is very helpful when reviewing analytics.

"Fantastic!"
What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

GTW is super easy to use for even the most technically challenged! I love that it can easily be accessed on most devices we use daily, regardless of where you are.

What do you dislike about GoToWebinar?

I don't believe there is much that doesn't work well on GTW. The only suggestion I would have is to allow for more handouts to be added as well as the ability to upload multiple handouts at a time instead of one at a time. This would be helpful and make my job easier!

What problems is GoToWebinar solving and how is that benefiting you?

Go To Webinar allows my team to easily train users of our website either in a live setting or using the simulive options. This frees up time to work on improving our training material while still providing the needed training to our users. Super convenient!

"Never Lets Me Down"
What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

What is most helpful about using Go to Webinar is that everything just works. The platform is user-friendly and intuitive - Not only can I ask my registrants custom questions, but I can set up automated follow-up emails, edit my recordings before posting a link, track registrants based on a source code, download multiple types of reports, and I've never had a glitch during a live event. There is so much to love about this platform that I could list off another 5-10 features that are just so helpful!

What do you dislike about GoToWebinar?

I cannot think of a downside as it relates to using Go to Webinar.

What problems is GoToWebinar solving and how is that benefiting you?

Go to Webinar allows me to mute my audience and give me the upper hand as it relates to responding to attendee questions during the live event. Additionally, the recordings are housed directly within the platform which means I do not need to export them and manage their storage individually. Everything I need to access is available within 1 portal. Additionally, I enjoy having the ability to quickly survey my attendees - getting immediate feedback once the event is over is invaluable. If I'd have to manage this on my own, I'm really not sure how this would be executed since we don't have an easy way of doing this on our own. Additionally, the built-in follow-up emails are great. I can easily insert my copy and simply set the timing for each follow-up email.

"GoTo Webinar gives my organization the ability to connect with our clients!"

The most helpful thing GoTo Webinar provides is its ability to have smooth, reliable presentations and a must faster rate than face-to-face meetings. It also compares better than a competitor we used prior because it allows more attendees for a much better price!

What do you dislike about GoToWebinar?

Two things that I dislike about GoTo Webinar are the ability to use break-out session rooms and the ability to have multiple users be the super admins on an account.

What problems is GoToWebinar solving and how is that benefiting you?

GoTo Webinar is allowing my company to save money in travel expenses by hosting training webinars for our clients during the pandemic and beyond. We aren't as dependent on face-to face training and the worries of re-scheduling

"The system is nearly bulletproof. Never fails, goes down or hangs."
What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

Reliability. I NEVER have concerns about the system failing me.
