GoTo Webinar review

GoTo Webinar covers the whole webinar workflow without much setup. Before an event you can build custom branded registration pages and forms, send automated invitations, confirmations and reminders, rehearse in Practice Mode and accept payments for paid events and certifications. During the event, attendees get polls, live Q&A and breakout rooms, and afterward the analytics and post-session reports show attendance and engagement. Integrations with HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce and Pardot push registrant data into your CRM and marketing tools, and pre-recorded content can run as Simulive sessions. For education, GoTo highlights recorded sessions for on-demand learning, closed captioning and screen reader support. GoTo says the platform powers over 2.8 million events a year. GoTo sells three plans, but the pricing page would not load from our location, so we list the price as pending.
