HubSpot integration was a key factor in our decision
Really good. The support has always been great, with a super friendly and helpful team.
Pros
The HubSpot integration. Having a single tool that would allow us to manage the whole webinar experience, from signup, to email marketing, to the live events and follow up is extremely useful for us as a team. The streaming quality is high and always consistent.
Cons
The presenter chat for the live event management is not immediately intuitive but is fine once you get used to it. Do lots of test events so you get used to features before you have to use them live.

Good value for white glove support
Pros
The software is pretty easy for attendees, as well as most presenters to use with basic training. WorkCast staff can set up branding, registration questions, and answer tech support live, easing your staff burden. The reports including registrants/attendees, questions asked/answered, and engagement are easy to access. There is a resources section for attendees to access relevant materials. Staff response time is generally quick.
Cons
Archive availability for more than 1 year, captioning, speaker cameras, and chat are some desired features. Other cons include varying quality in WebCast Managers as well as outage risk and response.

Hi Jennifer, Thanks for the feedback. We appreciate it. We do offer archiving for more than a year, so if you're having issues with that, you can reach out to your Account Manager and they will be happy to help. You can also reach out to them regarding running webcam events with chat as this is currently available. The good news is we are working on native captioning, though it is available via third-party integration at the moment. For any technical assistance, your AM will be more than happy to discuss. Thanks again. Thanks, Melissa

Best for Enterprise Class Simulated-Live Virtual Events and Town Halls
The overall experience has from the very beginning been one of a partnership. From day one, WorkCast has helped us solve our virtual event dilemma: to provide a platform experience focused on the simulated-live experience within a completely mobile experience with an easy to use IO with the ongoing support from a CS manager - WorkCast has been an amazing partner.
Pros
The feature that makes WorkCast a must-have within any enterprise organization is the simu-live functionality. If you want to hold a virtual event for your clients or even an internal company-wide town hall outside of a ppt deck type GoToWebinar presentation or a Microsoft Live event, then WorkCast is the solution. Other more costly solutions are available, but for the streaming, roll-over of sessions and customer service levels, WorkCast can't be beat. The platform can allow for multiple streams (great for multiple languages) and the landing pages and overall webcast experience is completely mobile-friendly.
Cons
The templates could be a bit more exciting in terms of design, they're getting there with a new batch of landing page templates.
Reasons for Switching to WorkCast
ON24 - at the time of the switch was still not fully HTML5 ready and we were losing attendees due to this. The mobile experience wasn't very mobile friendly at all.

Webinar platform offers excellent support
We have been very pleased with the responsiveness of the WorkCast team, whether delivering a proposal, turning around a webinar on short notice, or accommodating special requests. Their continuing education for webinar teams is very good.
Pros
The WorkCast webinar platform was flexible and extremely accommodating when our webinars demanded something out of the ordinary. The WorkCast team went above and beyond to deliver on short notice, and has been very responsive with any and all requests. They also offer regular education for the team implementing the programs.
Cons
We have not experienced a downside to the software.
Reasons for Choosing WorkCast
Responsiveness, flexibility and the ability to talk to real people when issues arise.
Reasons for Switching to WorkCast
Our previous vendor could not meet our requirements.
