Present+ - A match for any webinar software

Pros

  • It has a number of email templates that you can use to help promote your webinar along with including them in your post-follow-up email funnel.
  • You can integrate it into your CRM, such as HubSpot. Meaning you can capture your attendees details and include these in any future marketing campaigns.
  • They use embedded webinars, meaning customers don't have to download any software.

Cons

  • The Presenter 'Pods' could do with tips to explain that these can be repositioned.
  • The questions/polls have room for improvement.

Return on Investment

  • It's difficult to quantify the ROI financial return but we feel it's had a positive impact on our brand perception.

GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar

Great webinar software that integrates with your marketing automation software!

Pros

  • Embedded webinars - embed your webinars directly into your landing pages!
  • Useful features - it's packed full of useful features, focusing on the ones that are going to genuinely be of use (i.e., there's no bloat).
  • Well supported - there's a full team at the end of a phone or email if you have any questions at all.

Cons

  • Being updated to enhance the experience (for the presenter) regularly, some things are being added over time to become more obvious - they generally exist at the moment, but you may need to make a quick phone call to find out how to use it.

Return on Investment

  • It's allowed us to deliver better webinar experiences than ever before, resulting in more engagement, data and leads.
  • We've been positively praised on the webinars we deliver in terms of the overall experience, something that rarely happened before.
