Eventzilla vs. ON24

• Eventzilla is a one-stop shop platform for all your online as well as offline event management needs.
• It helps you set up everything - creating landing pages, managing registrations, forms, attendees, streaming, poll questions, surveys, payments, and event promotion.
• The data can be easily retrieved and exported later.
• The interface however needs a little improvement.

Having a platform where you can engage customers. It’s not only about the presentation, the polling, and customer engagement allows us to get feedback from customers. A major win for us is that it requires zero software to be downloaded. Running it within the browser window is such a huge impact. When webinar providers have software involved there could be issues with the end user trying to install and run it due to security settings or software.

• Simple event setup.
• Easy to update details and create effective ticketing collateral.

• Webinars hosted in ON24 run smoothly and never lag, and the help desk is very responsive.
• Detailed analytics in every field include surveys, unique clicks, and downloads.
• Registration details and multi-registration links in ON24 are very helpful and allow us to add additional registration fields and restrict certain domains.

Incentivized

• Some aspects of the software could be more intuitive - I found that pointing my domain to the Eventzilla landing page was extremely difficult
• It is not easy to get a hold of customer support - It took a significant amount of time for me to get in contact with a support agent

Incentivized

• ON24 sometimes does not work well with some of our clients firewall and VPN if they are attempting to join from their office.
• ON24 can sometimes freeze and our trainers are unable to resolve the issue and are forced to reschedule the session or move to another platform available.
• ON24 does not track the correct data for our number of registrants for forums events. So, the analytics component is not valuable to us.

Our Marketing team has seen significant time savings with the number of webinars we produce since using ON24. It's very scalable, and the onboarding and training for a new team member is fairly easy. The customer support of the ON24 team has also been impressive. They also release new feature on a fairly regular basis, and the webinars they do focused on customers are beneficial.

As, stated before, the only thing that I found to be difficult when using this software was pointing an existing domain to the Eventzilla Registration landing page. I followed all of the steps as illustrated and I continued to experience errors when trying to navigate via the domain. I could not get in contact with support and so we chose to use the extremely long Eventzilla domain. This was not a big deal, but it would have been nice to use our own domain that we purchased

97% of our attendees say it is the best trainings they have every attended. But they other 3% have a horrible experience (while watching the event live) interesting fact. On24 uses two different encoders for live vs OnDemand. I have never had issues with the On-Demand experience. My only complaints come during live events

Incentivized

ON24 is always available when I have a question about a new feature, if I'm having issues during a live webinar, or if I'm having issues with a webinar on the backend. Our client support specialist, Heather Haines, has always been incredibly consistent with getting me the answers I need when I need them.

Loading depends on how large the files in the webinar for us - sometimes it takes up to an hour to upload and that impacts the loading when the webcast is playing. Overall I'm happy with the performance, however if integrated with other systems it does tend to slow down the process

Incentivized

Support is adequate, but sometimes has difficulty grasping all of the pieces of a question. Once, I asked for help with a relatively technical integration that we were using to track event effectiveness, and their answer left me wondering if they even understood that the feature I was asking about even existed in their system.

Incentivized

ON24 support is really good with the 24/5 support chat line, where someone actually responds within 30 seconds. The customers success team is also really good and our rep is very helpful with all our questions. Whenever we have more technical questions, she will bring on a IT designer or a tech specialist on our calls for additional comments and help.

On24 has amazing ON-Demand trainings that you can use at anytime and they walk you through step by step on different topics/ they are always updating and innovating and putting out new trainings. I would highly reccomend the trainings and reading the documents they have created. They also do live webinars on a rolling basis that are filled with so much knowledge and Information

We had a few training's, which were broken up, and focused on specific areas of how to use the platform. Mostly though, a lot of it is just dedicating your time to learning and exploring what the possibilities are for enhancing your webinars

I am not particularly familiar with any event registration / ticketing alternatives. This software was used by my organization when I was hired and it is all I am familiar with!

We selected ON24 due to organizational alignment and tool consolidation but I am more than happy with the decision to move over to this tool. It has been by far the easiest and least frustrating webinar tool I have used in 5+ years of digital marketing. It allows me to bring the product marketers asks closer to reality.

The ON24 platform is straightforward to use and train clients on, which is a huge plus. Clients appreciate its features and simplicity. Internally, we receive valuable analytical data from webinar events, enabling the organization to make data-driven decisions. This helps us optimize strategies and drive success for B2B businesses effectively.

• We use it for internal events, so mostly our ownemployees join the events. These are usually fun events, so ROI is not expected.
• Most of the times, we are simply organizing recreational events for our employees, so it boosts the morale of the participants to have a proper organized setup for the events they attend.

Incentivized

• By holding more webinars (and promoting them beyond our existing client database), we have generated thousands of new contacts.
• The ease of use has enabled us to add an additional tool to our marketing toolbox without having to hire deep webinar/events specialists.
• The integration with Salesforce has enabled our relationship owners to see how engaged their client contacts are.
