"Go To Web Review"
What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

Screen Sharing feature is easier than any other application. Easy to call in via phone to use my personal headset. Quick, and Google Calendar integration is great!

What do you dislike about GoToWebinar?

I can't think of many things I don't like about this software!

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

GO To Webinar has assisted me with the performance calls I do for my job. In these, people from across the country review sales performance and share their screens to talk through things. Of all the softwares I use for these calls, Go To Webinar is by far the most aesthetic and easy to use. I especially love the Google Calendar integration and the application.

"One of the best and most simplified webinar systems"
What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

Love how easy it is to setup, publish, host and record a webinar. The whole process including the email follow-ups sent to attendees, directly from the platform, makes the whole process easy and complete. Managing panelists, attendees, Q&As, etc are simple and most panelists we've had in our webinars, learned the system UI pretty quick, even though it was their first time using it.

What do you dislike about GoToWebinar?

Video stream feature is a great feature, but need to be developed further. We need control over video's volume, timeline scrolling, play and pause, during video stream play back as often our guests will need to explain and talk over the videos. That being said, the auto-mute of the microphone should be an user controlled feature. Right now, when playing videos, Mics will be muted by default, we need to keep reminding guests panelists to remember to un-mute their mics during video playbacks. One more recommendation for them, would be the ability to upload a custom branded image slide that will be on waiting screens until the webinar starts broadcasting.

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

We are hosting many customers who use our software to plan, design and pre-program stage and lighting shows in 3D, they present and share their workflow, tips and tricks with other customers.

"Better experience than WebEx"
What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

The functionality and UX is clean and easy to navigate. Compared to WebEx, GoToWebinar provides a user-friendly experience that is quick to learn. The post-webinar options are very easy to use as well. You can quickly download attendance and engagement reports plus the webinar video.

What do you dislike about GoToWebinar?

The pre-show and test function is kind of confusing. The keyboard and mouse controls do not work as seamlessly as they could.

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

We needed to find a solution to help us put on prospect and customer webinars 4-8 times a year. As we ramp up the number of webinars we host, the almost stress-free benefit of using GoToWebinar over WebEx has been great.

"For online trainings this is THE platform to have!!"
What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

There are so many different aspects about this that come in handy, from the screen share ability to the webcam!

What do you dislike about GoToWebinar?

The storage space for recordings is small so you NEED to make sure you convert the video after you recording something.

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

We host weekly calls and always need to record them for the people who cannot attend live. It is also great for doing on the spot screen share with our agents.
