BrightTALK vs. streamGo

We've found the suggested training to be pretty spot on, and the speakers have been good so far. The pacing is usually good to slightly fast. Most professionals don't have time to take a couple of hours a week on training or learning about new products, so we've also found the length of the meetings to be very good. The suggested classes/webinars have been good so far-- too many companies ask you to fill out a questionnaire about what you use or what you're interested in and then pigeonhole in those couple of suggestions forever. So far, we have not seen that with BrightTALK.

It is one of the best platforms for attending webinars related to the distribution of knowledge related to different technologies and software and live events related to software releases and other product-related releases. The video streaming and software quality of the platform itself can be massively improved, in my opinion.

• The user interface can be a bit tricky at times, as you have to dig down to find certain information. However, it is a robust interface and the information is there.
• Some features, like adding questions or resources, have cut-off windows, so you cannot make last-minute additions or changes.
• The bridge occasionally drops speakers, and this can be disconcerting to presenters. However, it does not happen too often.

• The webinars could be shorter and to the point.
• The platform has some bugs and streaming issues.
• The video quality sometimes drops in between the webinar.

BrightTalk has an excellent usability and is intuitive with its design. The registration of events is secure, and the connectivity to webinars is seamless

Mostly because of the cost-cutting and being able to access a decent feature set in the cost provided. There are other products in the line that are better performing and have better feature sets, but the price that stream charges and the feature set and usability it provides are decent and worth the price.

We have not had to contact support.

I have not really contacted the support but have had friends who have and this is one of the other reasons why I switched to streamGo. Initially, I was skeptical regarding the support, but when a few of my ex-colleagues and friends told me that it is awesome, I took the decision to switch to streamGo.

BrightTalk has an improved webinar repository and has an excellent use of registration for live events that allows for strict moderation of who may be joining the events. I selected BrightTalk because it seems more secure and provides an ease of use when utilizing it for registration and webinar purposes.

The reason for switching was major because of the cost-cutting. If I were to compare them to the products mentioned above, I'd say all three of them have their own pros and cons but are mostly superior and better than a stream. If it hadn't been for the cost-cutting I wouldn't have jumped to stream.

• Because of its utility and onboarding new talent, our HR costs of talent acquisition and retention are reduced.
• The live networking events have been useful in producing new leads
• More targeted use of our funds for security and Cloud because of the knowledge we've gained, so reduced costs in those areas.

Incentivized

• I've been an end user who has used this to attain knowledge of no return/investment on business.
• The platform is buggy and can be improved.
• Random quality drops in the middle of the video.
