GoTo Webinar review

GoTo Webinar is the established choice for teams that run steady programs of trainings, town halls and marketing webinars. Before an event you build branded registration pages and forms, schedule from the dashboard, send automated invitations, confirmations and reminders, and rehearse in practice mode. During the session you can run polls, live Q&A and breakout rooms, and simulive lets you pre-record content and run it as a scheduled event. Paid events and certifications are handled in the platform, and registrant data syncs with HubSpot, Marketo and Salesforce Pardot. For education and training there is closed captioning, screen reader support, recorded sessions for on-demand learning and post-session attendance reports. GoTo says the platform powers more than 2.8 million events a year. We scored value conservatively because the pricing page did not load from our location, so we could not confirm what each of its three plans costs today.
