AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
  • Users report that GoTo Webinar excels in "Event creation" with a score of 9.4, highlighting its intuitive interface that simplifies the process of setting up webinars. In contrast, Microsoft Teams also performs well in this area but has a slightly lower score of 9.2, indicating that while it is effective, it may not be as user-friendly for event-specific setups.
  • Reviewers mention that GoTo Webinar's "Mobile check-in" feature is rated at 9.1, making it easy for attendees to join events on the go. Microsoft Teams, however, has a higher score of 9.4 for the same feature, suggesting that its mobile application may offer a more seamless experience for users accessing meetings from mobile devices.
  • G2 users highlight GoTo Webinar's "Lead generation and retrieval" capabilities, scoring 9.3, which is particularly beneficial for marketing teams looking to capture attendee information effectively. Microsoft Teams matches this score, but users report that its integration with other Microsoft tools enhances the lead management process, making it a strong contender for businesses already using the Microsoft ecosystem.
  • Users on G2 note that GoTo Webinar's "Recording" feature is rated at 9.1, allowing hosts to easily capture and share sessions. Microsoft Teams also scores well in this area with an 8.9 rating, but some users mention that the recording process can be less straightforward compared to GoTo Webinar, especially for new users.
  • Reviewers say that GoTo Webinar's "Attendee engagement" tools, particularly "Polls and Surveys," are rated at 8.7, which helps in gathering real-time feedback during webinars. Microsoft Teams offers similar features but scores slightly lower, indicating that while it provides engagement tools, they may not be as robust or user-friendly as those in GoTo Webinar.
  • Users report that GoTo Webinar's "Quality of Support" is rated at 8.2, which some find lacking compared to Microsoft Teams, which has a higher score of 8.5. Reviewers mention that Teams' support is more responsive and integrated with other Microsoft services, making it easier for users to get help when needed.
