    Considered Both Products
    GoTo (formerly LogMeIn)
    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.
    Incentivized
    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
    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.
    Incentivized
    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.
    Incentivized
    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.
    Incentivized
    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
    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 …

    Chose GoTo Webinar
    GoToWebinar met our needs for smaller scale webinars and internal meetings. Other competitors were much more expensive and we did not need extremely robust features at the time.

    Chose GoTo Webinar
    I would be on the fence between choosing between GoTo Webinar and Zoom as I think for basic webinar tools, they are similar. ON24 is too much for me, and too expensive. BigMarker seems ok but expensive nonetheless. If I wanted a more branded experience and flexible interface, I …

    Chose GoTo Webinar
    Zoom platform is missing features like call-to-action & built in social media sharing button which are necessary features for social media marketing. Other features like On-demand webinars & automated webinars is not available in Zoom .
    Incentivized
    Chose GoTo Webinar
    I think both have very similar feature sets. Their respective subscription prices are about the same. I use the GoTo products and I am familiar with the GoTo ecosystem. Zoom has done a great deal, in the past two years, to address security. Either product gets the job done …

    Chose GoTo Webinar
    Our target audience is within the financial sector and we struggled with security walls blocking their access to join Zoom or Teams meetings. ON24 seems to be one level up from GoTo Webinar when it comes to customization and a better UX. My new company now uses ON24 because of …

    Chose GoTo Webinar
    GoTo Webinar comparing to its competitors has a lot of coins, below my list: GoTo Webinar X ON24: GoTo Webinar is much cheaper. GoTo Webinar x Webinar Jam: GoTo Webinar is more complete, has more analytics data after the webinar. GoTo Webinar x Zoom: GoTo Webinar is more …

    Chose GoTo Webinar
    GoToWebinar was easily the fastest to get started experience from day one. Utilizing the templates provided, and the customization available, GoToWebinar helped us host a 3 day event with dozens of presenters with less overall time dedicated to the technology, so our team could …

    Chose GoTo Webinar
    GoToWebinar is the godfather of webinar software. All other webinar companies try and emulate the GoToWebinar platform and also try to add their own spin on it. I do appreciate when other software can build in other services that generally have to be completed by a third-party …

    Chose GoTo Webinar
    Zoom is simple to use, quick to set up, and easy to get rolling with. It's a new player in this field. GoToWebinar is more established and familiar to more people and seems to have more features. Ultimately, because people were already familiar with attending events, using them …

    Chose GoTo Webinar
    I would day the biggest disadvantage that GoToWebinar has against Zoom is that with GoToWebinar you need to download and install a piece of software and with Zoom that is not needed. However, the latency issues are almost nonexistent on GoToWebinar whereas in Zoom I have found …

    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. …

    Chose GoTo Webinar
    GoToWebinar is definitely among my top 2 choices. The only way I'd go for other tool is when I need to evergreen the webinar, which is when I turn to EverWebinar. GoToWebinar has the easiest set up process and it allows you to customize and brand materials easily so it matches …

    Chose Zoom Events & Webinars
    Go To Webinar has been the standard in webinar technology for years. But it's a terrible experience from an administrator's perspective. You start the program, and 15 windows pop-up, giving you all sorts of configuration choices. In order to operate a webinar smoothly, we …
