WebinarJam is designed to allow users to host online events with HD streaming, interactive features like polls and chat, integrations, analytics, and payment processing that are intended to help maximize online growth.
EverWebinar is easier to use and a more robust platform. The significant factor is the functionality of analytics, which lets you know how your webinars are performing and can make adjustments as necessary. The other platforms do not offer this and can be more complicated to …
I have not used other webinar stacks, this has been a software that was recommended by one of the course creator mentors, and have been using this software since the beginning. It has continued to bring in good results so I have continued to use this webinar software. I will …
Everwebinar allows you to take a previously recorded webinar and set it up to play like a scheduled webinar automatically. This way you don't have to show up every day several times a day to do your webinar. Just have the end user sign up for the next available webinar that …
We don't run webinars that often so the price of WebinarJam was very attractive. Other than price, WebinarJam lacks numerous features that other platforms provide, and most importantly, their system reliability is decent at best.
WebinarJam all around gives us more options, integrations, marketing abilities, and attendance abilities and the price is reasonable for everything we get. We use Zoom for some smaller training courses and when we need to do breakout-style training but other than that, …
We had previously used GoToWebinar and found WebinarJam to provide overall better quality of audio, and it was less expensive. We now use Whereby.com for our staff meetings and for recording training sessions because it is much cheaper and easier to use because it does not …
WebinarJam beats all the other services I have used (Webex, GotoWebinar, Join.Me) because I get a better looking system, for a better price. Join.Me had some connectivity issues when presenting from the USA to Canada, and Webex/GotoMeeting always looked outdated to me. …
I prefer WebinarJam due to its super-easy setup and great integration options. It works well with other tools like ClickFunnels, Hubspot and Mailchimp. From the tools we tried, this one seems to work the best for our company and clients!
WebinarJam is more specific and catered for webinars with the Q&A features and the polling. It also has better permissions than just host and viewer, which makes it easier to interact with the audience and who is presenting.
Just to give you an idea of the whole process. You connect your recorded video to EverWebinar and then it takes you through the steps to build out the whole automated webinar system. You design a registration page, once a person is registered they are taken to a holding room, which you will also design or choose a template, that has a timer of when the webinar will start. Once the timer is up, you are then directed to the "live" webinar. Since it appears to be live, you are unable to stop it or rewind. It has worked wonderfully for us for the past year
WebinarJam is a great tool if you are a small to mid-sized company and want to set up/schedule webinars and let the software do its job (capture your presentation and analytics). It looks professional, is used by many professionals/leaders, and is a fraction of the cost of other well-known brands. If cost doesn't matter to you, then you might as well go with a higher paying product. Also, WebinarJam audio is only accessed via the internet, there is not a conference call phone line system
Landing pages. The designs are pretty limited and repetitive, our company is always using our own designs.
Text limitations. You don't have a lot of room when it comes to text and webinar descriptions during the setup. If you stay away from long titles you should be good.
Pricing. The tool is definitely not cheap. If you're not planning to have regular webinars on it, you should look into something smaller and more budget-friendly.
Everwebinar has overall good usability due to its easy-to-use interface. This is the main reason I am giving this rating. There are more things that could be improved including the landing page templates. We have reflected this to support however this has not been addressed at all.
The platform is really hard to use and they have a habit of pushing out updates without telling their users first. The last update completely reverted all of our customizations back to the default EverWebinar layout. I only found out about this after a lead kindly send an email to the firm letting us know that [our] registration confirmation page was showing lorem ipsum script. Customization is lacking as well
Overall good to use, gaining positive ROI for our business. The user interface is easy to use and intuitive. However, the landing page templates need to be improved and the customer support is rather appalling. Multiple features have been suggested however there always have never been replies from their customer support.
The support overall is good. In the early days, it wasn't the best but they have definitely stepped it up lately. If you have questions about the platform, issues, setup, etc, and don't mind waiting 24 hours to get a response then it's good. They may have faster response times now but when they updated to 4.0 it took a while as they were getting hammered with emails cause there were issues. It seems like they have worked out some of the kinks so I imagine their support can respond much faster now. There is no phone number to call so there is no way to get immediate help or answers which can be frustrating when you have issues right before or during your webinar

WebinarJam all around gives us more options, integrations, marketing abilities, and attendance abilities and the price is reasonable for everything we get. We use Zoom for some smaller training courses and when we need to do breakout-style training but other than that, WebinarJam is out goto. We selected WebinarJam for all the above reasons and to this date haven't had any reason to switch to anything else.
WebinarJam has very little impact on our overall business objectives, as we rarely use it for the things we focus on most now.
We feel we never did get our money worth from the original purchase, so that is a negative impact on ROI.
The difficulties we encountered made us realize the importance of distinguishing the difference between using a product designed for the Marketing Industry versus the Education and Training Industries.
