GoTo webinar allows all the required tools to successfully provide a webinar to an audience, from a minimum of 250 participants to a maximum of 3000 depending on the plan that you purchase. What I do like the most is that it also allows the option to pay on monthly basis or annually with a discount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GotoWebinar has a lot of options but may cause a little confusion to some users, all the options are a little small and hard to identify at the beginning, but once you get used to where to find the options for recording, answering questions, etc. you are good to go but can be a little challenge for new users for the first time.

It is simple to host a webinar with GoToWebinar. The audio-visual performance is excellent and superior to any other webinar hosting tool. Furthermore, other features like desktop sharing and recording seem amazing. I enjoy how it allows me to write notes on all webinar participants while also providing access to polling data. This poll feature is a great benefit of popular webinars since it allows one to easily measure public comprehension or collect actual information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I just have a single complaint about GoToWebinar, and that is the smartphone app's UI. The smartphone app's UI is dull. I generally favor the online interface since it is so swift and reliable. I believe it is a little pricey. It might be perplexing to convert between Windows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the reporting features of GoToWebinar best. I'm able to export registration reports, analyze attendance and view in-session and post-session questions, polls and survey feedback. This allows us to gain even more insights on our attendees and track our performance across similar events. The reports export to Excel for easy integration to our CRM or further analysis for executive reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I'm not in love with the new Virtual Events option. We tested this for some internal training but found that we were unable to promote in-session attendees to the speaker panel. It also was an issue that we needed to reschedule one of our session dates and were unable to. We had to create a new session instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've had to call the help line so many times. They are always prompt to answer and super helpful to help troubleshoot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Several times during our LIVE webinar the webcam function has been down. We had to continue the scheduled program without video function. There are many steps to setting up a webinar. It would be nice to have it streamlined some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've used Go to Webinar for 15+ years at various companies and it has stood the test of time for consistency and reliability when it comes to a meeting platform. Particularly when COVID hit and work was forced to go completely digital, GTW didn't miss a beat and despite sampling other meeting platforms, GTW remains my platform of choice. It also provides the most comprehensive options in my opinion for hosting various audiences and speakers that need different access options and the ability to have redundancies on the operator side if someone is out.

The only thing I dislike is that the platform has looked the same for the past 15+ years (the plugin, not the web portion) and maybe that deserves a small facelift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Go to webinar is an easy to use platform. The site for at least me seems to never crash and it can maintain a good amount of traffic espadrilles during morning hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't say I dislike any aspect of this. It seems easy to use and others that are on the webinar end seem to find it easy to use compared to other platforms. Even students seem to find it easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its screen sharing is quite good and switching between screens their preview make it good. Mic control also simple. It has a Practice mode which is good before broadcast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its meetings automatically disconnects, sound sometimes not recorded, sometimes attendees get issue they can't hear the speaker, chat box is not good at all, and last is the control banner which always stays a side of screen that displays as a black spot in the side of the screen.

Automates events planning and execution which saves time and finances.
With GTW, I am able to share codes with colleagues from anywhere with just a click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GoTo Webinar seldom sync data when offline and iOS app doesn't have tutorials for features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


While this product doesn't match up to the heavy weights in this category, it does provide a very low cost option. So, price would be the biggest benefit of using this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of the big issues with using GoTo webinar is the lack of transcription out of the box. Using microsoft teams as a video recording automatically transcribes the video for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
