I really like the product and its entire features. It has done excellent job throughout.

Vorteile

It is very easy to use and to set up webinars in combination with emails and the mailsoftware for leads.

Nachteile

I would prefer it if participants could talk instead of only write in the chat. that't the only con.

Vorteile

We enjoyed the experience for the user - my audience particularly liked that when I would do live videos and the interactive elements that would pop up, allowing them to interact with me live.

Nachteile

Nothing, it is a great platform, it just doesn't meet our needs anymore.

Vorteile

Nice registration page, reminder pages that can be branded.

Nachteile

Customer Service hours are based in Europe. So be careful for real-time support if you are in US-based Time Zones!
In addition, watch for the Auto-Renewal option! no refund if cancelled during the holiday when they are closed.

Vorteile

This software is easy to use, as we've set up a complete webinar in a few days without experience in such a tool. All the features we need are available, there is an integration with our marketing automation tool, and our partners that work with us on webinars, as well as the viewers, are very positive about the technical aspects and the quality of our webinars.

Nachteile

There are very few cons I've encountered, but there's one thing I'm missing. As I'd like to keep my webinar as branded as possible, I use the embedded registration form. The only downside of doing this is I am unable to track the traffic sources of the people that register for the webinar. If there comes an integration to do this I can get a clearer view on where my viewers come from.

Vorteile

Easy to set up to your own desires and change a lot your self

Nachteile

In the chat we sometimes miss the opportunity to tag a participant when answering. Especialy when there are more participants with the same first name. In another sofware we used in the past it was possible to writ @ and the first letters of the first name and they would show the participants with that name in a dropdown list. This way you could chose the person you're answering to and they would get notified.

Vorteile

I used to give webinars on a different platform. Since my training registrations grew to over 50, I wanted a platform where people couldn't see each other, but only see me. A week before my training I found WebinarGeek while googling.
- It's super easy to set up
- You can keep track of registrations
- The helpdesk is available all day long to answer your questions in just a few minutes, but many questions have already been explained on the platform, so you don't always have to switch with someone.
- You can apply your own house style colors (at least with the second package).
- You can upload slides, so you can easily share slides during your presentation. You could do this by going through your entire slide deck, but you can also pick out a few slides without having to press a 'share screen' button each time. Works very well and your presentation will run much smoother!
- You can set the program so that your training is automatically recorded. Some trainers sometimes forget to record the training from the start. With this function you no longer have to think about this.

Nachteile

I miss two things in the program:
- You can send emails to viewers and non-viewers. Unfortunately, you cannot see who ultimately opened the mail.
- You can build these e-mails in your own house style. Only the format is fairly fixed. It is not possible to add extra text boxes or buttons.

But these are points that do not weigh up against the functionality that the program offers during the webinar.

It´s very popular in the States and Young people uses this the most.

Nachteile

There are alo t of other online meeting apps that can do the job too.

Vorteile

Great functionality and perfect support team. Also great Dutch support.

Nachteile

We had struggles with first show, but that could be solved by tweaking the firewall settings

Vorteile

It is an easy to use tool for webinars, it can be branded with your own house style. The quality of the webinars is high, and the possibilities are great.

Nachteile

When we used it, the recommended browser was chrome. When you have external speakers it is a bit annoying you have to tell them which browser to use, instead of their preferred one. But perhaps that is not the case anymore.

Vorteile

WebinarGeek has a lot of features like integrated polls, multiple hosts, in a very intuitive UI so that new users don't need to be trained. It also has simplified workflows like screensharing and audio and saves trouble to go through elaborate processes. It is customizable and easy to manage and setup

Nachteile

It doesn't have annotation support. Users don't have the option to raise hands or unmute, unlike Zoom. It also has limited cross platform support

Vorteile

My main goal was to find an easy tool that allows larger crowd webinars. I'm not a tech type, but I found Webinargeek easy to configure and use. Customer service very available and helpful as well !

Nachteile

I can't really mention a con. The user experience was satisfying over all.

Vorteile

It is very simple to use for webinar hosts and attendees alike. Users can join a webinar with a single link from the customised emails hosts can send. The platform itself has cool features - there’s live chat option. You can also add co-hosts to your webinars. It’s easy and hassle-free to reach more audiences and get them to sign up. People who couldn’t attend the live, or anyone really, could watch the webinars with the replay option, and a copy of the webinar can also be mailed to the attendees. Pretty inexpensive for such a good software.

Nachteile

The interface is a bit packed and there is no mobile version, which can be a turnoff for some. Attendees do not have the option to join multiple webinars either. There is no option for formatting the customised emails.

Vorteile

To complete flow of communication i like a lot.

Nachteile

I would love to have more interaction with the viewers.

Vorteile

Easy to start/set-up and use. Everything works pretty straightforward. I use it to teach art-history classes and like the feature to add high quality images/slides to share with the user, instead of sharing your screen and losing a lot of quality. Also for my viewers every thing works easy and straightforward. Their customer service is perfect. Always available, always helpful, even when I ask stupid questions. Over the last years they have been implementing a lot of new features and functionality very much based on the users demand.

Nachteile

There are just a few minor minor 'nice to haves' I can think of but I am pretty sure they will implement these in the near future.

Vorteile

The helpdesk in dutch is very supportive. The answer quick and good.

Nachteile

It should be easier in the dashboard to add new editions of the webinar. I always have to figure out where to find it.

Vorteile

I love this product because it is very easy to work with. In less than 5 minutes I can prepare a new class. People get an email and can join the class. We chat before class and than we do our yoga class. Afterwards people get there replay. It is so easy. When there is a problem the helpdesk is there in person to help you. I 've tried other providers and I don't like it when a robot is helping.

Nachteile

The least was that the button high quality for recording was gone after a while. But still the video is in perfect condition.

Vorteile

Happy with the feature to copy previous webinars and emails, set up is very quick this way. Great and quick support. Embed is a great function to integrate your webinar opt-in on your own website.

Nachteile

Would be cool to also have the option to see the openingrates of the emails.

Vorteile

Ease of use, the product feels 'light' and responsive. Besides that, I like the customer support, I do not have the feeling that I'm held off to protect the developers

Nachteile

Chat functionality can be improved, when lots of chats come in, the flow away... Plus: not visible if other chats come in when not in the chat screen [formerly, this was the case]

Vorteile

I love how I can add speaker notes to the presentation so that I never have to look at my paper. I don't even have any separate notes next to the presentation! I am also enthusiastic about the statistics. How cool to get exact insight into the registrations, viewers and viewing behavior.

Nachteile

The integration with Active Campaign requires some extra attention from me. The first set-up went well. I find I can use some extra help with further fine-tuning.

Vorteile

Webinargeek makes it easy to host webinars; live, automated & on demand. It integrates with the software I need, like ActiveCampaign.

Nachteile

Sometimes it's difficult to show the presentation & yourself on camera. People can't read the presentation that good anymore.

Vorteile

Easy to use, wide range of functionalities, personal touch with own logo and colours

Nachteile

At the moment nothing is missing in this software.

Vorteile

WebinarGeek is a very complete and clear software. They help you with every step to set-up your webinar and they also have a great helpdesk. Lot's of things you can set-up yourself, so the webinar is completely to your liking.

Nachteile

The edit possibilities of the e-mails are minimum. You're not able to add another text-box or title if you want, you can only edit the existing boxes.

Vorteile

I like the most that I am able to automise the Software. People are able to register and watch, while I am busy doing other things.

Nachteile

The integration part with other marketing tools. This is quite difficult.

Vorteile

Ik vind WebinarGeek heel toegankelijk en gebruiksvriendelijk. Ik had nog nooit een online webinar gemaakt of gegeven en toch is het me goed gelukt. Het feit dat de e-mail adressen van degenen die zich aanmelden verzameld worden, was voor mij ook ideaal aangezien ik nog een e-mail lijst aan het opbouwen ben.

Nachteile

Ik heb eerlijk gezegd geen nadelen kunnen ontdekken.

Vorteile

La facilità di connessione e la facilitò di connettersi con vari utenti e

Nachteile

dipende dalla connessione a volte se non hai fibra o una buona connesione

Vorteile

I think the very best thing about webinargeek is the customer support and constant work they do on the product to make it better. If you have any questions, a real person answers and help you in a matter of minutes (during weekdays).

Nachteile

Would love to see more flexibility with the registration page such as being able to link videos that are uploaded, not just on Youtube.

Vorteile

Customisable registration page
Customisable and automatic e-mails
Easy export of registrations
Easy export of statistics
Many options to interact with the participants

Nachteile

I would like to have more customisation when it comes to the registration page, e-mails and aftersales page

Vorteile

WebinarGeek is extremely simple to use. It comes with detailed instructions, and the customer service team is very responsive to any questions. The most significant advantage of this program is that you can plan everything from sending out invitations to sending out surveys, eliminating the need for a similar software

Nachteile

The only minor issue is that increasing your user count will double your expenses. Even if the other user is only perusing your webinar's subscribers.

Vorteile

WebinarGeek is easy to use and takes you by the hand how to use the tool. Follow the steps and before you know you're ready to broadcast.

Nachteile

Viewers who use a mobile phone might not alway be able to read your sheets. Too small. Especially when you show both yourself and the sheets while broadcasting

Would be nice to have a few more tailoring options when it comes to the sign up page and emails etc. It's a little limited in terms of editing the template, but the simple layout is more than ample for our needs

Vorteile

The automated webinars with live chat. Although I need to be there when they start, thank goodness, they start without me.

Nachteile

"Exclude dates" need to have the ability to set a window of time. Example: I may need to set it up to be "not available" from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on a certain date.

Vorteile

Helpful, balance, well organized, good technical support, diversified in scope user friendly and well used

Nachteile

Like more instructional videos and more hands on support and need for regularly scheduled updates of hardware

Vorteile

From my point of view, there are many advantages in the platform, such as creating educational seminars and lectures in an easy way, as well as creating live broadcasts in a simple and smooth way. The platform facilitates 4000 seats for visitors, and this is a large number, and also allows you to sell from the platform and profit .

Nachteile

There are no templates for the operating or e-mail pages or to control them, and also I do not clearly see what is written in the chat when broadcasting from visitors .

Vorteile

WebinarGeek is very easy to use, both from admin (organizer) perspective and as a subscriber watching & interacting with the webinar. Great customer support!

Nachteile

Improvements can be made on insighs (statistics) of the automated emails.

I am in the personal development/coaching space, and I host bi-weekly webinars to attract new clients. WebinarGeek is an amazing platform to do just that. The webinars looks professional, the integration and features it has to attract and secure new clients is great. I love doing my presentations now and want to do more! Love the ability to implement on demand webinars too!

Not many cons that come to mind. I guess more customization/branding would be helpful on the lower tier package.

Nachteile

alles is ok voor mij. ik ben heel tevreden

Vorteile

It can be integrated with Hubspot and the deployment was pretty easy.
I also liked that the pricing is very favourable.
It is great the viewers do not have to install any software and that they can watch directly in the browser window on any device. This is an important feature, because many customers come to the webinar in the very last moment and then they realize they have to install some app so many just don't bother and do not participate. If they don't have to install any app they just click a link and it opens directly in the browser.
Another important thing for me was integration with Hubspot CRM.

Nachteile

There is not an option for viewers of a webinar to turn on microphone and cameras and to interact with the host. The only way is via chat.

Vorteile

WebinarGeek is very easy to use and makes hosting webinars accessible for everyone. I especially love their good customer service, they reply very fast and take your feedback into account! Once I suggested a change to something and they actually made that change, within a day or so. Other than that, everything is always working as it should and I've never had any issues while doing a webinar.

Nachteile

When you co-host a webinar with someone else and also want to show some slides to the audience, you can only select one host to be visible at a time and the screen with the slides become very small, so it's hard to read when you're giving the webinar.

I start using the software in 2019 when I started it out with giving webinars. I was completely new to giving webinars and the software behind it. I found it really easy to learn and use it.The most practical is the integrated mailing. It is easy to send subscribers an email when they register, also to remind them of the upcoming event and afterwards.Co-hosts are also easily included, even when your co-host has not much technical background.People find it easy to register en to use it.

Nachteile

While on the one hand you can easily adapt the e-mails to your own branding, depending on what kind of e-mail you are sending not all features are available or easy to use (changing lettertype, colour, inserting links)It was easy to integrate with mailchimp, but in mailchimp itself I am not interested in the information about the specific link that was sent to that user, nor the time or timezone. I don't like it how it is imposed on my overal data in mailchimp, it is there on my form builder (like for your sign up form, I don't need it there, it doesn't show on my sign up form, but I can't remove it from my form builder)

Vorteile

Easy to use and the very friendly support in case of questions.
Another Pro for us is that it is a Dutch company, but that's personal :-)

Nachteile

In the earlier versions it was not possible to upload video's directly and could only be embedded from YouTube. In the recent versions this is solved, so for now, we don't really have cons to mention.

It's very userfriendly and intuitive. At first you're a bit overwhelmed with all the options, but once you get the hang of it, the set-up is pretty easy. We really like some of the features we didn't have in other applications.

Nachteile

The set-up can take a bit long sometimes and you have to scroll through a lot of windows to adjust just 1 thing. It can mean you have to do a lot of searching to find 1 specific thing. f.e. streaming set-up or adjusting the e-mails or webinarroom.

Vorteile

I like everything on this application because I need it for my work

Nachteile

is good software because I use all the things in webinargreek

Vorteile

Webinar creation is divided into steps and the system shows you what to do and how to do it. Extremely easy for a beginner.
You can prerecord and/or test your webinar before you do it for real.
Landing pages, statistics, data bases etc are included. You don't need anything else.

Nachteile

Nothing really, I'm filling this field just because it is required.

Vorteile

Implementation of laws regarding personal data privacy (Dutch law: 100% AVG proof). For me this was one of the main reasons to switch. After using the free 14 days version I had no doubts at all. The software is easy to use, complete, tons of features to interact and best of all: very stable and reliable connection. In the back-end WebinarGeek has a lot of features installed for data analytics of registrations, viewers, replays, sending e-mails. etc. And if that isn't enough for you, they have created integrations with the most used software tools like MailChimp, HubSport, etc

Nachteile

I honestly would not know. There is a small delay in what I see as host and what the viewers see (approx. 5 to 10seconds, I guess), but I guess this makes sense. It doesn't bother me at all.
