GoTo Webinar
Chose GoTo Webinar
GoTo Webinar has a more custom approach towards the user who is specifically looking to manage a Webinar or Digital Event with a larger capacity of participants.
Chose GoTo Webinar
I was only introduced to GoTo Webinar in my current role, I would always give this a 10/10 rating because it is a work from home workers friendly, easy to use and to set up. I am encountering any trouble using it. Just clicking the generated link and there, I am already in the …
Chose GoTo Webinar
The features it offers set it apart from other similar tools
Chose GoTo Webinar
Zoom scores well above GoTo and ON24 in brand recognition across mid to large enterprises. But GoTo scores well in SMBs. Regarding value for money and ROI, it's better than ON24. We selected GoTo because of the price point and to ensure that our partner-sourced SMB stacks do …
Chose GoTo Webinar
We had been familiar with the GoTo products and decided to stay with them since they meet our needs and work well. We have used Zoom on occasion but IT prefers the GoTo Webinar package.
Chose GoTo Webinar
Zoom is a great product, but isn't as easy to use and doesn't have all the features GoTo Webinar has. Pricing plans vary for each of them, but we've found that GoTo Webinar gives us an excellent value for the service on all of our key usage situations. It was just a better …
Chose GoTo Webinar
I can't compare GoTo Webinar with other products from the same company because I haven't tested them. However, I can compare it with similar products from Zoom, Cisco, and Google, and GoTo Webinar performs within expectations.
Chose GoTo Webinar
Zoom and GoTo Webinar are probably my 2 most commonly used hosting softwares. They are both quite intuitive and contain similar features and both have become quite user-friendly.
Chose GoTo Webinar
GoTo Webinar provides a better users interface and more reliable experience when participating in remote meetings. It allows high quality virtual meetings which means more people can participate in a virtual discussion.
Chose GoTo Webinar
It was already a component of the tech stack before COVID, but with the introduction of numerous new platforms that are utilized on a daily basis for purposes other than webinars, it is currently not the greatest option for marketers. It's a useful addition to the tech stack, …
Chose GoTo Webinar
GoTo Webinar works very much like Microsoft Teams for meetings. The features of each are very comparable. However, GoTo Webinar's pricing model is more affordable.
Chose GoTo Webinar
We used TeamViewer and Skype for Business before this and we had a tough time conducting webinars when the target audience was huge. Lack of integrations with 3rd party platforms, and no analytics capabilities limited ourselves from going to the next level in both sales and …
Chose GoTo Webinar
We selected GoTo Webinars for several reason. It is easy to use. They have good customer service. They offer a lot of what we need.
Chose GoTo Webinar
While Zoom has similar functionality, the interface on GTW is more friendly and easier to navigate. They are both very similar on price-points, too.
Chose GoTo Webinar
All of the tools above are great but we’ve found they are only good for internal meetings and not external clients. The ease of use with GoTo Webinar is unmatched by any of the competitors so we choose to have 2 tools - 1 for internal engagement and 1 for external client use.
Chose GoTo Webinar
GoToWebinar has a user-friendly interface and intuitive controls. When comparing it with other platforms, assess how easily you can navigate through features, set up events, and engage with participants. Connection stability, audio and video quality seem pretty much ok. …
Chose GoTo Webinar
All of the other platforms are nice as well but something that has GoTo webinar is that it uses a software in your computer that makes the session to be more reliable and does not consume high ram or rom in your device. It has nice features to remind the people about the …
Chose GoTo Webinar
Zoom caters to a much higher attendee count. GoTo Webinar has more intuitive, user-friendly tools that most people can pick up on their own. Zoom is more tailored and customizable to suit your specific needs. GoTo Webinar is significantly cheaper with fewer add-ons....
Chose GoTo Webinar
GoTo provides features that others vendors don't have, analytics dashboard is exclusive for webinars sessions and it provides value to the complete solution, styling invite emails is another feature that will not find on other solutions. The advantage of other vendors is the …
Chose GoTo Webinar
Super-smooth video and fantastic audio with an extended range of volume control. Other vendors can claim their product is a superior choice; however, in my history of experiencing multiple options, GoTo Webinar gets my highest marks!
Chose GoTo Webinar
Livestorm is really good with integrations to other CRM tools but it has limitation in some niche tools we are using for our industry. users also often complain the reliability of livestorm on the client end.
Chose GoTo Webinar
We looked at Zoom and actually did consider a move, but chose to stick with GoTo because we have an extensive library of videos and didn't want to transfer all of that. Plus we already knew the limitations so didn't want to move just for a few features only to be surprised by …

Likelihood to Recommend
Having a virtual or online meeting or training that needs multiple attendees, I would recommend using GoTo Training. Was able to see multiple cameras and have multiple people on a training at once. The best feature was able to record trainings and be able to watch them at a later time.

It is great for big events like training or product demos. It's good for marketing webinars with features like polls and Q&A. It's not ideal for small, casual meetings. It can be too expensive for some businesses. For smaller events, other tools might be better.

Cons
  • Would love the ability to schedule training directly into Microsoft Office.
  • Some users found if you use different browsers, it affected the functions of the program.
Read full review
  • Dashboard for control are mostly intuitive but in some menus like the webcasting section can be cluttered
  • The current polling and survey capabilities are too simple. More advanced features, such as branching logic and real-time results, would make engagement more dynamic and insightful.
  • Although it's easy for organiser to use goto webinar, users have reported issues and long wait time on their end and they don't have much control over the session

GoTo Webinar is not boring at all. Its design is extremely intuitive and specific for what its name serves. It is a great software for webinars which have become the trend of "continuous learning". I like the way we can manage participants in the webinars, interacting with them while they cannot disturb the flow of the speech by intruding with the mic.

Usability
User friendly, easy to follow and enjoy having the ability to record meetings for viewing pleasure. People who are more technology challenged were able to figure out GoTo Training easily and could understand directions over the phone or using the app for the first time.

GoTo Webinar's User Interface is simple and straightforward, which is what I, as an end user, prefer to interact with when I only use a software once or twice a month; I don't want to have to remember extra steps just to attend a webinar.

Reliability and Availability
No answers on this topic
I rated GoTo Webinar a 9 out of 10 for availability because it generally performs reliably, with minimal application errors or unplanned outages. The platform’s high uptime ensures that it’s usually accessible when needed, supporting a seamless experience for scheduling and conducting webinars. While occasional minor issues may arise, they are infrequent and typically well-managed, contributing to a strong overall rating for availability.

Performance
No answers on this topic
I rated GoTo Webinar an 8 out of 10 for performance due to its generally robust capabilities. Pages load quickly, and reports are generated efficiently, even for complex data sets. The platform’s integration with other systems typically doesn’t introduce significant latency or performance issues. However, during peak usage times or when handling very large data volumes, there can be occasional slowdowns. Despite these instances, GoTo Webinar consistently provides strong performance and reliability in its core functions.

Support Rating
Never had to use the support system because things were easy to figure out without having to need to contact someone.

I was always able to get someone on the phone when I needed to. They were very thorough and ensuring my questions were answered. And if I was asking for a solution or request that they didn't offer, they told me so I could at least stop trying to search for it.

Implementation Rating
No answers on this topic
I didn't participate in the implementation nor did my company. As far as I know we have an IT office running alla these projects and we just use the final products for our educational purposes. I also didn't notice implementation at any level while using the desktop interface, but would immediately recognize it, if so.

Zoom scores well above GoTo and ON24 in brand recognition across mid to large enterprises. But GoTo scores well in SMBs. Regarding value for money and ROI, it's better than ON24. We selected GoTo because of the price point and to ensure that our partner-sourced SMB stacks do not end up not engaging with us because of a lack of a proper medium.

Scalability
No answers on this topic
I rated GoTo Webinar an 8 out of 10 for scalability because it effectively supports deployment across multiple departments and sites with its flexible features. It allows for easy management of large-scale webinars and integration with various systems, accommodating a growing number of users and sessions. However, some users might find limitations in advanced customization or specific integration needs as their requirements become more complex. Overall, its robust capabilities and adaptability make it a strong choice for scalable webinar solutions.

Return on Investment
  • Ability to record trainings that people can use after the live meeting.
  • Having an attendee list even after the training.
  • Ability to screenshare and have cameras on at the same time.
Read full review
  • Good: We've been able to keep various client teams trained up on our product
  • Good: It helps us automate communication about the webinars, as well as follow-ups
  • Bad: There is a time suck that shouldn't exist surrounding the recurring scheduler which needs to be rethought and retooled with more than the most basic real world use cases in mind
