"Great way to instruct"
What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

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.

What do you dislike about GoToWebinar?

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.

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

I can give instructions on a course very easily and quick students can interact in real-time and it makes answering questions a snap. I can accomplish more work when I have everyone connected.

"Seamless tool for uninterrupted webinars"
What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

I like the fact that it helps me take notes of all attendees of the webinar- with access to poll results. This poll option is a very good upside of the go-to webinars as it makes it very easy to gauge the audience understanding or capture real-time data.

What do you dislike about GoToWebinar?

I observed no downsides whilst using it. I think the product was well developed. It could however be better if new features like roundtable rooms are added to enable team breakout during webinars.

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

Go-to webinar has helped me solve problems like effective communication with all workplace colleagues, company wide announcements, company wide brainstorming and company wide trainings. This has led to increased business performance overtime

I like the product because I can have meetings and training without physically being in the same room as the vendors or users. This saves time and money for traveling

I have been able to collaborate with vendors to learn about their products and view demos of the products. The benefit is, seeing products without having to travel or have physical meetings with vendors.

"Consistency and Reliability in a Sea of Options"
What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

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.

What do you dislike about GoToWebinar?

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.

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

GoTo Webinar solves the issue of needing to host multiple presenters and also multiple organizers across an organization, no matter if they are internal or external.

"Strong and stable platform for conducting online webinars"
What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

Ease of use. Stability of the platform and long track record for delivering this type of service

What do you dislike about GoToWebinar?

Really not much, but would like to see the web based version match all of the features in the downloadable application version.

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

Ability to continue to provide professional education to our members without the staff time and expense of conducting live, in person events. The big benefit is being able to record our webinars and then sell these after the fact as on demand programs.

"Excellent webinar software"
What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

Ease of use for attendees and panelists. It's very easy to allow panelists to share their screens for presentations. Automated emails used for reminders pre webinar and messages post webinar are great. We also love that we can share the webinar recordings.

What do you dislike about GoToWebinar?

Getting it to work on a Mac can be cumbersome the first time. Hitting the 'Start Broadcast' button starts the webinar immediately, it would be nice if there was an 'Are you Sure' prompt or something similar in case that gets hit by accident. Allowing presenters to test their audio and webcam with the software on their own would be amazing. We have to schedule test sessions with the speakers prior to be sure there aren't any issues with the software on their computers.

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

We were already hosting monthly webinars using GoTo. Once COVID hit, we've switched to weekly webinars to fill that gap in education and have had huge success.

"Great Platform for Training"
What do you like best about GoToWebinar?

I use GoToWebinar everyday, 3 times a day. The interface is easy to manage and has a professional look. The "Questions" panel captures crucial feedback from customers that enable me to run lead reports.

What do you dislike about GoToWebinar?

The platform expériences company wide issues more than any other platform I've used. However, their customer service department is responsive and they send me updates on the issues.

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

My company provides CPE credit for free to attendees around the country. This could not happen without the support of virtual platforms.
