BigMarker vs. WebinarJam

Being a user of BigMarker I am fully satisfied
with their program and the features they are offering to me. Clear UI with easy
to use interface helping me a lot to set up everything in minutes. Definitely
recommend this masterpiece to other business to use it for effective virtual
collaborations.

WebinarJam is a great tool if you are a small to mid-sized company and want to set up/schedule webinars and let the software do its job (capture your presentation and analytics). It looks professional, is used by many professionals/leaders, and is a fraction of the cost of other well-known brands. If cost doesn't matter to you, then you might as well go with a higher paying product. Also, WebinarJam audio is only accessed via the internet, there is not a conference call phone line system

• Easy to use
• Great user interface
• A lot of integrations

• Easy to set up.
• Easy to integrate with other platforms.
• Easy to look professional and tech-savvy.
• Duplicating successful webinars is simple.
• Moving from the two platforms means we have tools for live and evergreen streaming.

• 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.

• Landing pages. The designs are pretty limited and repetitive, our company is always using our own designs.
• Text limitations. You don't have a lot of room when it comes to text and webinar descriptions during the setup. If you stay away from long titles you should be good.
• Pricing. The tool is definitely not cheap. If you're not planning to have regular webinars on it, you should look into something smaller and more budget-friendly.

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.

The platform is really hard to use and they have a habit of pushing out updates without telling their users first. The last update completely reverted all of our customizations back to the default EverWebinar layout. I only found out about this after a lead kindly send an email to the firm letting us know that [our] registration confirmation page was showing lorem ipsum script. Customization is lacking as well

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.

The support overall is good. In the early days, it wasn't the best but they have definitely stepped it up lately. If you have questions about the platform, issues, setup, etc, and don't mind waiting 24 hours to get a response then it's good. They may have faster response times now but when they updated to 4.0 it took a while as they were getting hammered with emails cause there were issues. It seems like they have worked out some of the kinks so I imagine their support can respond much faster now. There is no phone number to call so there is no way to get immediate help or answers which can be frustrating when you have issues right before or during your webinar

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

WebinarJam all around gives us more options, integrations, marketing abilities, and attendance abilities and the price is reasonable for everything we get. We use Zoom for some smaller training courses and when we need to do breakout-style training but other than that, WebinarJam is out goto. We selected WebinarJam for all the above reasons and to this date haven't had any reason to switch to anything else.

• BigMarker has helped tremendously with ROI, helping members to find me and join our organization!

• WebinarJam has very little impact on our overall business objectives, as we rarely use it for the things we focus on most now.
• We feel we never did get our money worth from the original purchase, so that is a negative impact on ROI.
• The difficulties we encountered made us realize the importance of distinguishing the difference between using a product designed for the Marketing Industry versus the Education and Training Industries.
