User Testimonials
Kaltura Virtual ClassroomLivestorm
Likelihood to Recommend
Kaltura allows users to upload and watch content at their own pace and
convenience. This is what our entire program has been based on since we
started using Kaltura, and the performance has increased (or at least the analytics suggest that).

Livestorm is well suited to use when you need to reach a group of more than ten people. It wouldn't be a good solution if you wanted interaction from the audience in more than the form of chat.

  • The analytics is great and allows you to export everything, even all the info they enrich with Clearbit
  • The webinar room is super intuitive and I always feel like I have full control

Usability
No answers on this topic
This platform is very user friendly. I had zero training and I was able to successfully create events, customize company emails, export data, navigate feature set, and enable integrations, etc... I had to do a little bit of research into how their on-demand events worked logistically but that took about 10 minutes
