You can't beat WebinarJam's cost- it's a great tool for getting your message to larger audiences. The webinar process is fairly simple & can be learned quickly. Chat, slides, video integrations are pretty seamless.
It lacks some functionality in video integrations: skipping to part of a video, interrupting the video to go speak.
Training clients during the time that works best for them. They are happier and feel well-served.
Very effective tool for hosting webinars for heath and safety. Easy to setup and use for non-technical users.
A bit pricey in my opinion. I feel they could do better in this area.
Generating webinars for employees to watch and take part in.
The entire process is so seamless! We love how you can set up all of the email notifications (pre-webinar reminder emails, replay emails, etc), plus integrate with our email marketing provider for a more robust communication strategy. The ability to pre-add offers, video injections, file sharing, and more is awesome and makes the live session run so smoothly. There's an express configuration if you're in a rush,, but we like using the full configuration to set up all the details.
The only thing we dislike is that replay viewers can't fast-forward through the webinar replays. While we totally understand why they have it set up like this as a default, we wish there were an option to change this, as several of our webinar attendees have requested it.
WebinarJam helps us generate leads and drive sales. We're able to offer free, value-packed online workshops to anyone in the world, and at the end we can pitch related products. Webinar conversion rates are much, much higher than conversions on social media.
Price, as we're a startup, and we have a lot of webinars where numbers of attendees at single webinar even reach to 2000 - the price comparing to competitors is great.
Not enough integrations with marketing automation tools, sometimes it doesn't work (occasionally, it's not a typical issue).
Acquiring new leads, training customers, lead nurturing.
The registration process for the attendees, decent flexibility in the creation of personalized registration and thank you pages.
First, in the a modern webinar it is common to have a Presentation with videos included. With this system, you cannot broadcast a presentation with animations and videos. They suggest to load your presentation (if made with the common presentation software) and they convert for the streaming but with tons of limitation (you will lose all the animations, bullet points appearance, video are converted in a single picture etc...) if you share your desktop or the Presentation app, you can transmit the videos but without the audio ?! (this function is included in a lot of competitor software). To solve this problem the only way was to mount the videos with a 3rd party app, load the videos on Youtube and link the videos to the presentation, but here again a big limitation. Every time you play a video when the video ends the system return to the camera instead of the desktop sharing, in a presentation with 40 slides and 9 videos, a lot of distractions for me to present (with a lot of clicks and commands to do, and a lot of distraction for the audience the see the presentation, then the video (after some second to command the play, then my camera full screen at the end of the video, and then after some commands (click on share, chose the tab applications, chose the application to share, click on share) again the presentation. A big limitation after all. Microphones, enormous limitations, you can choose the audio source only before starting the presentation, if you have some issue and want to switch to a different audio source? No settings, not possible. Can you imagine what happens in my first presentation when my Airpods die for the battery? I have said goodbye to the audience by chat..... even with the wired earplug if you unplug and plug again the earplug, the microphone doesn't work anymore. The pools during the presentation, you cannot save the result of multiple pools, every time you want to open a pool you need to reset the result of the previous.... why? A big missing, a questionnaire at the end of the presentation (for example voting the best product presented, or express the needs to be recontacted on a product presented). And the mother of all the issues assistance, no chat, only a form to send an email, they have replied to me after 9 days and from a notreply address, so no way to further discuss the issue. At the end of the day, I`m not happy at all with this software, unfortunately I have already paid for the Professional (799$) but I don't see the value in the product.
I was able, with a lot of limitation and time to recreate videos etc.. to do my webinar. But again, even after some tests before the "live", I have had issues in the presentations. Also the product still have some bugs broadcasting the youtube videos (always the last of the presentation).
I am fond of Live Chat,Automated Recordings and Flexible Scheduling. Ran webinars every week and need for this only one room!
Connection, connection, connection... Sometime it craches everything. But happens rarely
Th main benefits are the best support, discount offers. Ideal for live events, easy to watch on the smartphone.
The marketing elements allow you to customise emails. We do not have a marketing department per se but the software is easy to navigate and the tutorials helpful. Once you have set up one webinar all others are very easy to follow.
I haven't seen many downsides. If I had a wish list I would like to add a better follow up feedback questionnaire to be sent to the attendees after the webinar. It would also be helpful if the presenters could select a better quality background to provide a more polished appearance.
During lockdown we have been able to continue to reach out to our client base and attract new clients via the internet rather than the traditional marketing methods.
When it works, it's good design and easy to use.
Crashes a lot, mid webinar, sometimes people and I can't log in. I know the investment has not been made into the backend tech.
I have livestorm and zoom as my goto solutions due to the unreliability of webinarjam. So actually, they solve my problems.
