Just to give you an idea of the whole process. You connect your recorded video to EverWebinar and then it takes you through the steps to build out the whole automated webinar system. You design a registration page, once a person is registered they are taken to a holding room, which you will also design or choose a template, that has a timer of when the webinar will start. Once the timer is up, you are then directed to the "live" webinar. Since it appears to be live, you are unable to stop it or rewind. It has worked wonderfully for us for the past year

Cons
  • The biggest drawback that I am facing for a long time is that BigMarker is not very effective while integrating with other third-party software [in my experience]. It was not an easy task to set up with other meeting platforms that I was using already in the organization.
  • Secondly, the audio starts lagging, and sometimes the audience cannot listen to the audio which [I feel] needs to be fixed on an urgent basis.

  • it doesn't seem like they upkeep this product
  • customer services responses are canned responses

Usability
BigMarker is a great piece of software and provides a good solution for our live streaming service.
Its very usable and due to its full feature set, we are able to quote on jobs quickly knowing that BigMarker is capable of meeting the clients needs. We find the remote guest feature to be somewhat limiting, but only because we are looking to provide very polished video to our clients, we use external software to stream direct to BigMarker.

Everwebinar has overall good usability due to its easy-to-use interface. This is the main reason I am giving this rating. There are more things that could be improved including the landing page templates. We have reflected this to support however this has not been addressed at all.

Support Rating
The support staff is exceptionally doing well. They
are always available for the solution of queries. Listen to my queries very
patiently and provide a solution of problems in the limited time duration and
solve the query. The technical staff is also working well. I recently faced some
errors in handling the progress of tasks and I send the feedback to their team,
they responded to that feedback and corrected these errors and bugs immediately.
Always welcome to feedback them about their platform.

Overall good to use, gaining positive ROI for our business. The user interface is easy to use and intuitive. However, the landing page templates need to be improved and the customer support is rather appalling. Multiple features have been suggested however there always have never been replies from their customer support.

Alternatives Considered
None of the other software we tested before choosing BigMarker had a full feature list that worked so well for events. Zoom, which is the go to software for many of our competitors was very limiting, although there was some effort needed to educate our client that there was a better way. We also use Vimeo, but this is only for simple live stream video delivery, Vimeos Q and A and other features are very basic in comparison. GoToWebinar doesn't compete

EverWebinar is easier to use and a more robust platform. The significant factor is the functionality of analytics, which lets you know how your webinars are performing and can make adjustments as necessary. The other platforms do not offer this and can be more complicated to use and implement.

Return on Investment
  • BigMarker has helped tremendously with ROI, helping members to find me and join our organization!
Read full review
  • We've been able to easily make back the money that EverWebinar costs with selling $300 products up to $2000 products.
  • Automating an already successful webinar with EverWebinar is a smart move. Don't try and create one that isn't proven to work.
  • There are several webinar platforms out there but EverWebinar does a great job with turning it evergreen.
