A lot - first and foremost is the support. truly horrendous. The webinar tools are also dated and clunky and we kept having issues...and the scripted support was no help.

LiveWebinar is easy to use, sends emails for you, and makes integrating with other products easy.

It would not allow me to run two webinars finishing 20 mins apart & when I contacted Support they didn't care - I had to pay 2x to be able to run webinars that DIDN'T overlap but their subscription wouldn't let me run without paying twice.
