Considered Both Products
LiveWebinar
Chose LiveWebinar
A lot of advantages for LiveWebinar over Zoom as there is no need to install an app on every device that needs to connect to the meeting. Moreover, there's built in tests, surveys, and polling tools inside the platform that I don't see in the basic plan of Zoom. Further, …
Chose LiveWebinar
  • Lower cost of ownership
  • Same or superior features
  • No additional software needs to be installed to join the meeting since everybody has already a web browser.
Chose LiveWebinar
LiveWebinar doesn't require participants to download software and can easily run from computers or mobile devices. Webex and Adobe Connect also have challenges with staying connected, these are probably equal and may be somewhat related to the internet service more than the …
ON24
Chose ON24
Based on Client requirements we have used Third party live event softwares. Since all those having similar functionality relating to Live event. But some have different and high features.
Some other software have easy navigation and Separate Hub for Some workspaces and some have …
Chose ON24
The best part in my view is running in a browser. This is such a great thing because you get around companies having firewall or security software that can block it from running properly.
Chose ON24
Adobe Marketo Engage and Zoom Events & Webinars
Chose ON24
From what I've seen, ON24 is built specifically to meet the needs of event marketing (or marketing generally), versus the other platforms which are more about simply providing a mechanism to hold virtual meetings. The integration with sales and marketing systems is really …
Chose ON24
ON24 is better than an average videoconference app because it's a holistic software that specializes in events in particular, so it's more engaging for the audience. It's different from Blackboard Collaborate because even though Blackboard Collaborate is great for college …
Chose ON24
ON24 is way better than BlueJeans and Live. We are happy that we found you!
Chose ON24
ON24 is a 3rd party virtual event integrated with Marketo Since we can not conduct event in Marketo ON24 full promo Marketo template clone ON24 URL, ON24 base link, event id and key tokens (event details given by marketer) ON24 Attendee Webhook trigger Once email is sent in …
Chose ON24
It is more expiensive but the easiest to use. I think once we get Hubspot integrated properly, we will like it the best! If you have the money I think it is the best choice!
Chose ON24
We selected ON24 because it offers a great experience for presenters and attendees of events.
Chose ON24
We have used In-expo way back in the day :) they did not provide the same support or confidence that ON24 has. We got with ON24 and have never looked back!
Chose ON24
ON24 provides way more opportunities for customization of the virtual spaces. ON24 has an efficient process for uploading resources and making them accessible to the attendees. ON24 has more protection measures to ensure only registered clients can attend the sessions. ON24 …
Chose ON24
Stream go is a smaller organisation but their ability to offer in event support as standard at no extra cost is to be applauded and very much essential when we have different people putting events on all of the time. ON24 may be better suited to large global organisations, …
Chose ON24
ON24 had the best CRM integrations and just marketing in mind, in general, more than the other options.
Chose ON24
GoToWebinar outperforms all of the products I have used, and is much more cost effective.
Chose ON24
I think when it comes to the list of features that you want for your webinar platform, ON24 checks more boxes than any other provider. It's not perfect. We will likely use a different platform when we need the audience to be able to come off mute but that's really our only …
Chose ON24
ON24 offers way more branding and personalization options then GoTo did in the past. We currently are really able to set up the webinar consoles to our branding. Next to that On24 offer more engagement options. Also the reporting both per event and on account level are more …
Chose ON24
No comparison when it comes to features, pricing, and flexibility. ON24 continues to demonstate that it's a leader in the virtual event space.
Chose ON24
ON24 is an overall immersive client experience. Our firm values the ability to completely brand each element of the event, from registration, email communication and the full event console. We also find the Certification tool to be instrumental in our continuing legal education …
Chose ON24
Much better than Webex, due to its interactive and customizable interface and integration with Vuture.
Chose ON24
Better technology and scalable for more attendees.
Chose ON24
With both the other platforms, they don't always show up on calendars as well as ON24 does.
Chose ON24
We previously hosted our webinars on Zoom, which was a much less interactive format and not really scaled for such large-scale events that we have been hosting. The On24 consoles are really great and we are able to have links to share with our audience. The on-demand format …
Chose ON24
I previously used Big Marker a great entry level option with minimal reporting and customization options. ON24 offers much more in both areas.
Chose ON24
Teams can be considered a competitor for ON24. It is free for us to use. However, it does not allow for the same level of analytics or customization. There is no back-end area for the presenters that allows for better control of the presentation. Cheaper, but misses on a lot of …

Likelihood to Recommend
LiveWebinar is well suited for training where the visual materials are easy to see and not overly detailed. LiveWebinar is not as easy when there is a lot of chatter going on, so if the material is complex, or likely to have numerous questions by the viewer, a different modality would be better

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.

Pros
  • LiveWebinar makes it easy to share video clips and offer explanations simultaneously.
  • LiveWebinar allows the host to turn off the chat function so individuals are not distracted during the teaching.
  • LiveWebinar offers the ability to switch between teacher visuals, videos and power points, just as if doing 'in person.'

  • 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.

Cons
  • Call-in feature for meeting participants should be a standard feature. With my plan, I cannot access this.
  • Account assistant login is cumbersome.
  • Paintbrushes for whiteboard/presentation annotations could be improved and should include stamps (checkmarks, red big arrow, etc.).

  • 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.

Absolutely love the features of Livewebinar and it's probably the most advanced Live webinar solution that I have used. Even with the absence of a native mobile app, the platform is useable on mobile or tablet screen sizes. There's no noticeable lags during the presentation and users find it easy to use and navigate during the presentations / webinars.

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.

Usability
LiveWebinar is an all in one solution for daily meetings and events. I made it a 9 as it is almost perfect in its current form. However, there were some reported issues on mobile connectivity as there is no native app of LiveWebinar for both iOS and Android. Moreover, I'm hoping that LiveWebinar could connect to my Google, Outlook, or iCal calendar to synch events regularly. I'd love to see my calendar inside LiveWebinar which makes it to the top of the feature wishlist for this platform. Further, if LiveWebinar is able to handle multiple day events or meetings with just a few clicks, that would make this platform, a 11/10 rating!

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

Reliability and Availability

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.

Performance
No answers on this topic
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

Support Rating
Customer support of LiveWebinar is top notch. They are available almost 24x7x365. I rarely wait for the next response and given that people are not suppose to work on holidays or weekends, their support agents are always there to lend a helping hand. The responses are spot on. It's not that I need help with platform having some issues or anything, but for general account questions, they quickly respond to each and every query I raise over to support. Definitely one of the best things with LiveWebinar.

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.

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

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.

Return on Investment
  • With the lifetime plan, we paid off this investment in 3-5 months vs. having a subscription-based solution. After that, the application is "free."
  • We spent quite some time researching and testing all the features before we could make a decision.
  • Positive effect on client relationships, as we don't have any additional cost to arrange another meeting.
Read full review
  • 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.
