Comparison of Online Events Marketing features of Product A and Product B
Being a user of BigMarker I am fully satisfied with their program and the features they are offering to me. Clear UI with easy to use interface helping me a lot to set up everything in minutes. Definitely recommend this masterpiece to other business to use it for effective virtual collaborations.
PowerPoint integration was a key element in our implementation of OmNovia. In short, "old school" mentalities could easily integrate with a "new age" presentation platform. Specifically, the feature was highly-compatible with different file types, sizes, and formats. More so than similar platforms I've used in the past.
Additionally, a lot of our end-users were without comprehensive media equipment or in low-bandwith environments, so the Audio Chat was a great way for folks to participate with their laptop microphones.
The support materials, video, and direct customer service was integral in our adoption of the platform and, in turn, with the dissemination of it's use through the department and affiliate offices, agencies, and organizations. I refer to the omNovia website and the available YouTube videos that provide those who desire a more complex and intricate virtual experience the know-how to do it.
The biggest drawback that I am facing for a long time is that BigMarker is not very effective while integrating with other third-party software [in my experience]. It was not an easy task to set up with other meeting platforms that I was using already in the organization.
Secondly, the audio starts lagging, and sometimes the audience cannot listen to the audio which [I feel] needs to be fixed on an urgent basis.
I am not at the level to make the decision nor am I at the company still. Although, I do suggest omNovia to current and future companies I work for as a tool that works, can solve business problems, and I am familiar with.
BigMarker is a great piece of software and provides a good solution for our live streaming service.
Its very usable and due to its full feature set, we are able to quote on jobs quickly knowing that BigMarker is capable of meeting the clients needs. We find the remote guest feature to be somewhat limiting, but only because we are looking to provide very polished video to our clients, we use external software to stream direct to BigMarker.
The support staff is exceptionally doing well. They are always available for the solution of queries. Listen to my queries very patiently and provide a solution of problems in the limited time duration and solve the query. The technical staff is also working well. I recently faced some errors in handling the progress of tasks and I send the feedback to their team, they responded to that feedback and corrected these errors and bugs immediately. Always welcome to feedback them about their platform.
None of the other software we tested before choosing BigMarker had a full feature list that worked so well for events. Zoom, which is the go to software for many of our competitors was very limiting, although there was some effort needed to educate our client that there was a better way. We also use Vimeo, but this is only for simple live stream video delivery, Vimeos Q and A and other features are very basic in comparison. GoToWebinar doesn't compete
Having an assortment of licenses at my disposal with different web platform products was key given the clients included embassies, consulates, universities, etc. all over the world in different bandwidth environments, with different media equipment available, etc. omNovia performed well for the users with moderate to high bandwidth and higher quality equipment. Low-bandwith users did use the audio chat function but preferred less intense platforms that allowed for video. Other products: Watchitoo, Adobe Connect, Google Hangout, WebEx, GoTo Meeting.
in person networking since OmNovia allows for live events to be streamed. Without this ability we would only have regular webinars and would miss out on the networking opportunity.
