What do you like best about Crowdcast?

The visual experience of Crowdcast is great. The chat was virtually appealing and everyone seemed to like it. We had some connection issues with our attendees not being able to hear the audio, but I think Crowdcast has since resolved those issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crowdcast?

We used Crowdcast when you could only have 4 people onstage, including a screenshare. That was very difficult and caused us to ultimately move away from the platform because we couldn't guarantee our events would fit into those limitations, especially with intros and sponsors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?

Crowdcast was a great solution for a virtual keynote in 2020 when we had to move our conference to virtual due to the pandemic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Crowdcast?

Having used Crowdcast for the past 4 years, I've found the site really user friendly.

I also use Zoom, Google Hangout, TEAMS, GoTo webinar etc. when my clients are organising sessions, but find that for webinars, Crowdcast is the best option.

The customer support is always very good with follow-ups to make sure everything is okay when you need help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crowdcast?

The only thing that I have frustration with is that when running multiple sessions, it doesn't put them in reverse order in the lobby, so you have to scroll down many times to get to the one that you want. I have raised this though and so by the time you read this, it may have been resolved :-) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?

I wish there was a direct integration with Substack, but you can sync paying subscribers via Zapier, and I think this is an edge case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Crowdcast?

We love the clean, minimal approach to online events that Crowdcast has taken. All other platforms suffer from bloatware, where they've added so many features and options it's incredibly difficult to use. We've now run over 100 conferences on Crowdcast, and have been impressed with their reliability and customer support. Plus their pricing can't be beat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Crowdcast?

WIth their v2 just rolled out, i can't think of anything that Crowdcast lacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Crowdcast solving and how is that benefiting you?

Covid changed the event space. And crowdcast quite literally saved our company, as we pivoted from in-person to online, and now we're hybrid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
