	GoTo Webinar	Skype for Business / Lync (discontinued)
Considered Both Products	GoTo (formerly LogMeIn) Verified User Chose GoTo Webinar I think Skype for Business is also a great option for connecting large numbers of people virtually, as it serves groups of over 25 (the free version stops at 25 attendees), but GoToWebinar is much better for presentations as it has better functionality for multiple video … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose GoTo Webinar Zoom Video Webinar is probably the only one that comes close. And it is probably a toss-up between the two. Long term I see Zoom winning because their tech is newer. Blue Jeans, Slack, and Skype don't have the sophistication needed to run a webinar. WebEx is the worst. … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose GoTo Webinar I have been using many tools, like Skype, join.me, and Google Hangouts. GoToWebinar is the most organized and professional tool in the market. We are based in Spain, and we mainly use Skype, but some times the US market asks to use GoToWebinar. This is the main reason we use it. Incentivized Helpful?
