Overall, we have a great experience with ON24. It's an easy and user friendly system. The reporting is very robust and helps us to really evaluate attendance and what marketing initiatives work well and which ones don't. We have found the capabilities to be satisfactory and we've been able to execute each webinar the way we've planned. The system is reliable and have experienced very few technical glitches. I would highly recommend (and do) this system to others.

The ON24 platform is very user friendly. The set-up of a webinar, collection of registration to the execution on the day of the webinar is great and so easy. The system is very reliable and we've experienced very few hick-ups along the way from a technological standpoint and the quality of the call on the live webinar is also reliable. The reporting capabilities are robust and above average in comparison to other suppliers.

While ON24 is a great webinar platform, the cost is higher than average which makes it an expensive platform to use. Also, the tech people that join the webinars for an added $500 or more fee, aren't always the best and have language barriers and aren't that proactive. It's apparent this has been outsourced overseas. However, ON24 has worked with us and enabled us request specific technicians which has been helpful.

ON24 is very easy to use- and I know there are more functionalities that I need to explore. I also enjoy their webinars that give you tips on building successful programs.

I like that ON24 is easy to use. I can setup my webinars quickly and there are also lots of elements I can customize. I like that it is easy to setup polling questions, move slides around and also easy to answer audience q's- either privately or to the whole group. It is also easy to see how many other webinars the participants have viewed and engaged with.

There are some elements I would like to have more control over the design. The polling questions do look a bit plain. But most of the elements are easy to customize.

Overarching positive. The background analysis is the best.

This platform provides excellent analysis on audience engagement, how and when they view live or On Demand webinars and as a Marketer I am able to track where the audience comes from for additional analysis and lead scoring. It also integrates with other technology we are using.

When it comes to the software it typically works with ease and with limited issues. When there is a more complex project that requires On24 support I find the customer service to be lacking. I'm not sure if additional personal/support is needed but the response to urgent requests are often delayed and communication is sporadic.

They take a lot of care in helping with the strategic side of launching this channel/an effective webinar programme and it makes a huge difference.

Data capture and insights into how customers are engaging is miles ahead of other webinar software. There are so many touch point options. More customisable than other webinar platforms, you can make it look and feel like your brand and curate the right experience.

We have had some problems with integrating it into our CRM (but we have a highly customised CRM, might be fine with off-the-shelf CRMs)

Fantastic. A great team to support me and they really listen to what we are looking for as far as feature enhancements.

ON24's ability to integrate with our CRM and share engagement analytics is incredibly helpful from a customer support perspective. It paints a picture of what my customers are interested in. Plus, the on-demand functionality where end users can actually still interact with the webinars after its live is HUGE!

Sometimes if I need to navigate away from the webinar and just have it running in the background as I am listening, it times out. That is more of an end user complaint though. From a front end perspective, its exactly what I need.

We just launched, but I am already a big fan! It has so many more features and functionality than our previous tool, that I think the user experience will be far greater for our virtual attendees. I love the level of customization we have on the console builder, so it really looks like a branded event vs a standard webinar platform.

ON24 has several different modules you can implement, but my company has added the webinar elite. We were using ReadyTalk previously and felt it was a bit limited in functionality. ON24 allows us to have multiple presenters sharing video & slides. We can host content for attendees to access directly in the platform as well as interact in a group chat feature to promote collaboration and networking in a virtual setting. You can also poll the audience, push a survey, certification and so much more. Couldn't be happier with this tool and ability to customize the entire look and feel with our brand.

It is an expensive tool, but I think it is worth the money compared to other platforms on the market. I would love to have implemented other modules, but due to limited budget, I have to hold off for now. Also, I the registration is a bit manual at the moment while we finalize our marketo integration, but I think that will be temporary. I currently have to upload a list of people who registered from our landing page into the ON24 platform.

We've seen an increase with attendees and on demand attendees since moving onto On24. We're able to provide our users with more insights than we have been able to do previously, and our community are now more engaged than ever before in our webcasts.

Ease of use, always being updated with new features, listens to the community and introduces new features/products or services based on what we need.

Costly compared to others platforms in this area, have had a few issues with on demand version not downloading, but has been quickly resolved so not a huge deal.

The problem we had was reach. We could bring in all the best instructors in the world, but we could only impact the few we could cram into our training facility. Live interaction is very important to us, so that is what kept us from just recording them and posting them online. The community interaction is a must. Because of this, we knew we needed to utilize live video with interaction capabilities, but at the same time keep it simple enough that anyone could participate. How could we make them feel like they were in the room with us? The biggest benefit we have seen is how quickly the HVAC industry has recognized us as a training leader. Most of the major manufacturers are now looking to us to help them educate their clients

The reason we went with On24 was for the broadcasting feature, and how easy it was to set up an event. We host between 25 and 35 live trainings a year, but up to a few years ago they were only for those would could travel to our facility. Our goal was to open the experience to a much larger audience through video, and On24 was the best solution. One of my biggest requirements when choosing a platform was the ease of use for our attendees. Between making it very easy to sign in, and how customizable the user dashboard is, I was able to ensure the best user experience for my audience, most of whom don't use a computer much. We are now in our second year with the platform and it continues to get better. The On24 team has been very responsive when we had any concern.

Our two biggest issues with the system have been: Freezing and buffering problems with our audience. When we first starting using their platform, On24 was flash based. They have made strides to move to HTML 5 and adaptive bit rates, but we still get complaints of the video freezing. Most of the time, a browser refresh fixes it. I have a feeling that most of the other problems stem from someone watching Netflix in the other room. The second is the mobile phone experience. For a standard webinar it would be ok, but it is unusable for broadcast video. Since they cannot have the slide widget and the media player open at the same time, it makes it way too cumbersome to switch from video to slide to Q&A and back. Until they have an app like Citrix, I tell all my attendees to never use their phones.

We have one person in our organization who manages all webinars through that the organization runs. It was very difficult to get his time as we had plans to run more frequent webinars. We didn't have access to reports or even registered and attended list. we had to get that from him. Once we moved onto ON24, there is two of us in my team who manage all of our webinars and training ourselves. We were able to run over 50 webinars in one year and thats only part of our overall job. Many of the built in automation like On-Demand library, email notifications, ability to copy previous consoles, and use previous instructors BIO and photo saves us time an effort

The ease of setting and conducting up webinars. The detailed reporting lead generation capability. Love the widgets and the ability to customize the console. We use Ideas and group chat a lot within our training webinars to keep the audience engaged.

When we have a webinar series, we can link them so individuals can register for all sessions by choosing on all sessions in the list. They are not notified, in case they miss one or are not able to automatically register for all. At times, an individual will me mistake use a wrong email address and we need to go to each session to remove him, instead of being able to do that for all sessions.

We have been using ON24 for the past few years as a marketing department for both restricted content and lead nurturing. We conduct numerous webinars with partners, it is helpful to have a platform that is easy to use for both speakers and viewers with different levels of technical knowledge. We have clients from over 100 nations and it has been beneficial for simple access due to its web-based design. With previous platforms, customer service and technical issues have been a problem, and ON24 has been a great help in solving that problem.

On-demand is ideal when you have attended a webinar and all communications have been planned in advance, this way you know your users will get the information they need to view the video files on-demand. We can modify the on-demand video hosting platform, add new content, etc. is very helpful. The organization of the webinar is simple. The design of the program is simplified if you use the widget system, as you can create it as you wish and give it the shape you want. In addition, it is possible to control and edit the messages coming from the ON24 system. We have a diverse set of people using the application across different generations, skills and countries, and it is simple to use for all of them.

There needs to be a checklist that includes every webinar you plan to ensure you have all the necessary implements. The interface for the organization could be more modern, however, it works well. It could use tweaking to make it simpler and look more modern.

great product, good service, friendly staff, bit pricey and definately not for all businesses due to that.

We use On24 daily and it helps us reach mobile users otherwise left out (due to bulky plug-ins) and it´s on-demand module really helped us build a whole new service. Additionally the real-time Reporting is great and provides valuable information. The integrations can be improved but overall it´s a great tool if you want a reliable software for today´s user-demands.

integrations are bit difficult, paid add-ons (e.g. lead-notification for one should really be a standard feature and send it by email if someone registers).

It does the job, I've been able to adjust, and with typical webcasts it can be totally fine. But with anything beyond slides (and even those have problems sometimes), it can be a headache to use.

I can schedule a lot of webcasts, they can hold up to 2500 people before it would potentially become an issue (according to our account), they do contain the functions that we'd want (resources, group chat, Q&A, polling, customizable design). It was pretty easy to learn on my own and teach to others.

Lots of cons for me, it's very buggy. Sometimes if you open multiple webcasts on the backend, the titles at the top glitch and say that they're a different webcast than the one you're actually editing. You can't do embedded videos and can only do 16:9 aspect ratio. When you upload videos and launch them to the audience during a webcast, you can't pause them. If your slide deck had slide timings built in and you didn't know, you're going to have a problem. And our team is always prepared for people who say they can't hear/it froze/the screensharing isn't working on the audience side, telling them to refresh. It would be nice if it just...worked. And screensharing for presenters, what a nightmare. Often it doesn't even work. It's picky about its browsers, and even after you download the plugin sometimes it still doesn't work.

Overall it has a lot of great features for interaction, some of which I haven't yet used. I did find that there are some ON24 certifications available, and I'm looking forward to learning more on there. I do like that we can customize emails in many ways, and there are a lot of options for what sort of materials can be included in each webcast we run.

The reporting options are extremely disparate. If I want to download information on who attended, for how long, and what their survey responses were, I have to enter three completely different reporting windows and download all of those reports separately. It'd be great if there was a better function for pulling reports on more of a checkbox list of everything I want to pull at once. It'd be nice to have more control over what "Producer" can see versus what "Presenter" can see, such as hiding the attendee list from presenters who are outside of my organization, for GDPR reasons. Also, the "add to calendar" feature isn't exactly as customizable as I would like it to be, both in that specific module and how it appears in emails.

It has been a big upgrade from our previous platform. The support has been very helpful, I realize this is a big platform that does take some customizing. After getting through the customization of the platform, and understanding the capabilities, there are a few pieces of the platform that seem outdated. My advice would be to check in with older / lost users to see what their feedback is. Some of my team has used the platform in the past, and the qualms they had with the platform are still "features" today.

The ability to create a full experience for the user (sharing assets during the webinar), the ease of use for hosting speakers in different locations, reporting / insights and how it is compatible with SalesForce

Slide advancement it only via click the arrow, slide notes cannot be customized or edited after uploading the slides, supported fonts for the slide decks, editing the video post-webinar, video quality recommendations v.s what actually works / displays correctly during the webcast, being able to easily archive / delete test programs for webcasts

Once I learned the software and all of the features, it is a great tool to host webinars and live events and I prefer it over some other options out there. But getting to a place of comfort was a bit of a bumpy road. But there are several neat features of the tool (reporting, console building, registration pages, etc) that are worth the effort.

ON24 has a feature to build out a "console" for your webinar or live event that includes several engagement tools. It is also web-based and less clunky than other solutions. Once you understand how to use the system, it is easy and efficient to use. They have a simu-live feature where you can pre-record the webinar and push out as a live event, which is very helpful in the age of virtual events, The reporting is pretty good as well.

Well, the customer service levels can be confusing and seem disjointed (call center vs chat vs account manager) and sometimes not everyone is on the same page. There is a learning curve on how to become fluent in the software even for presenters. There is a separate presenter "studio" that requires training for your presenters to learn so I would recommend many practice sessions and A/V checks for a smooth event. You can purchase additional support for live events if needed.

Our experience has been great. Support is exceptional. Knowledge base and instructional webinars help users learn the software to take full advantage of it.

The software is simple to deploy and use. The platform also allows for a lot of flexibility in how to optimize your webinars presentations.

There are aspects of the reporting that could be better - in particular aggregate reporting where filtering in limited. Also, the main webinar page could be more flexible in hiding webinars ones they have past or filtering webinars for personal view.

Easy to use, professional, lots of capabilities and features. Great reporting, interactivity, and integrations into our marketing tech stack. Helpful and professional team members and lots of options for support (live chat, tickets, help center, community).

Some of the user interface and experience could be improved, and the different "parts" of the platform are a little confusing (where you set up a webinar vs. run it). Help documentation has improved but could still be added to and updated.

One of the best things about this software is the ability to do on-demand lead generation. This allows you to broadcast full shows with all the interactivity you want and then on-demand users can experience the exact same show.

I wish there were more universal parameters that you can set for your brands. We work with 3 different distinct brands and having universal control in case something changes (logos, color, etc) would be helpful.

Really unpleasant.

While ON24 is a somewhat reliable platform, the sales and support team and general business practices have left a horrible taste in our mouth. ON24 is extremely secretive about their pricing so they can take the most advantage of any client that reaches out to them.

Extremely expensive with shady marketing practices. Poor customer service. The platform has been made intentionally difficult and features-deprived, so they can charge customers extra for every toggle switch they turn on. The ON24 cloud based platform is also super outdated and glitchy for presenters and attendees. If you don't have one of the dozens "premium" support packages, good luck getting a hold of someone on time to fix a simple issue with the platform. You will never know the actual pricing with ON24 until you sign an agreement and start using it for a few months. The pricing has been kept secret for this exact purpose so that they can prey on any customer they can. We do not recommend ON24 at all!

I am the admin of the system for my company and i have an overall good experience with the system. My reps provide great support and my user base really likes the system.

That you can custom brand webinars to fit your needs Live & Semi Live events offered Admin Functions made easy Reporting

Permissions for reporting only logins is not free APAC support is lacking at times

They were always available to us, and when we had a webinar, they were there on the phone trying to support us, so kudos for trying.

We hosted a total of six webinars for them, and each one had a technical issue. And we get it, our firewall might have made things a little more difficult. But even with them trying to help us at every turn, our whole department was stressed out on webinar days, knowing that chances were high that something would go wrong. And something ALWAYS went wrong: sound not working, video feeds cutting out ... after three months, we paid a certain amount to On24 to have live tech help during a webinar, and even then we had no sound on our end (only our presenter had sound). When that was finally solved, we lost our live video feed - so that was a waste of money, and our presenter let us know that they were very unhappy with how the webinar went. These problems kept coming, and we were always told to just tell the attendees to refresh their web page. ADDITIONALLY, they told us On24 had seamless integration with Salesforce - but they overpromised and under-delivered: we never were able to integrate with Salesforce at all. SALESFORCE, the #1 CRM platform in the world! After six months of this, we couldn't go on, and we tried to cancel our contract - BUT THEY WON'T LET US OUT. So now we're paying for a service we don't use. Our advice: stay away.

I am generating leads, providing a good experience, and raising our revenue.

The ease of use to produce a webinar is incredible. I did not know much about webinars when I got started, and this platform made it easy for me to create and access what I needed to know quickly. It provides a good customer/attendee experience and I wouldn't use anyone else.

Honestly, the one thing I get frustrated about is how long it can take to upload our slides or files.

It's been great, I just wish I could double the size of my team becuase with a very small webinar team, I feel like we are only scratching the surface.

ON24 has countless features, options for customization, branding, tracking, CRM integration, content gateway, great audience experience, etc. we could go on and on!

the more robust the software, the more can go wrong. If the webinars are not set up perfectly, the webinar will not run smoothly. You can not make changes on the fly (if you set the webinar up with no screenshare, you cannot change your mind on the live webinar) if you need to change the console, you cannot do so when the webinar starts, etc. No dial-in number as a standard offering for webinars We also wish that ON24 could be used for demos and 1-on-1 calls but the audience lag doesn't allow for that.

We use this day to day in order to run our webcasting business, and it makes sure we get everything we need done.

Customizable platform, easy access to URLs, reporting options.

There isn't anything that I can think of off the top of my head that I dislike about the platform.
