Review of ON24

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have been using ON24 for about 3 years now and enjoy the experience every use. Our main use is for our webinar series where we show live demonstrations of our products and advertise our capabilities to our customers an people in the industry. We also use the platform to hold all- hands meeting internally. This is a chance to poll our internal employees and get their feedback on the strategy and activities the leaders have planned for the year. I think the biggest complaint we have is that you cant hold videos within the PPT and upload it into the platform. Each video has to be upload on its own which can be really frustrating.

Pros

  • Live stream
  • Polls
  • q&a

Cons

  • Backend console isnt always the most user friendly
  • No videos in the ppt tp upload is annoying

Return on Investment

  • Capturing contacts has lead to sales for us because of this platform

ON24 scalable virtual event hosting platform

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ON24 to host most of our global webinars and virtual summit programs, which gives us great support in producing multiple webinars in quick succession without spending too much time on production and allowing us to focus more on the content.

Pros

  • Quick Webinar setup
  • great analytics and insights
  • Easy to build reg pages console
  • great product support

Cons

  • UI needs some improvement, need to look more modern
  • few areas like widgets, real time feedback, flash audience a message etc is missing
  • Virtual conference mannager is not easy to setup and need lot of manual steps

Return on Investment

  • With the help of our global webinar programs, we are able to acquire more leads, but we have to integrate with Marketo to get an end-to-end picture and can't just rely on ON24.

Were still new but like what we are seeing...

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our organization, we use ON24 for virtual events, webinars, and content hubs. It helps us efficiently reach large, targeted audiences, provide branded and interactive experiences such as polls and Q&A sessions. We are also able to integrate the platform with Hubspot in order to leverage its marketing automation tools to track leads and measure ROI. And...it provides a more 'elevated' user experience than most other platforms of its kind.

Pros

  • user experience
  • visual appeal
  • ability to increase the engagement level of those using the platform

Cons

  • there is a lot to learn as a new user - but that is to be expected

Return on Investment

  • we are still new and learning how to leverage the platform
  • i do wish the advanced analytics were included

ON24 - A nice refresh for our webinars

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use ON24 to host webinars for business prospecting across our product portfolio and client training. Webinars are a key driver for new prospects for us.

  • Console (audience view) offers many tools to use for presentations and to engage the audience
  • Reporting and analytics are robust and provide detailed reports that help us process attendees in our marketing database
  • Support team and responsive and helpful

Cons

  • UI is limited and it can be hard to find the button you are looking for
  • Without proper training, the studio view for presenters can be confusing
  • Technical integrations are more complicated to implement than previous webinar tools used in the past

Return on Investment

  • Unfortunately we only recently adopted ON24 so these are early observations and we are yet to pull hard numbers but we have seen a noticeable increase in registrants and participants
  • Our guest presenters have an easier time joining and using the tool
  • Far easier to use and setup webinars from a digital admin side
