EasyWebinar

Pros

It's easy to set up and plan your webinar and then make small changes anytime you need. I also like the evergreen webinar capability.

Cons

I'd like to see the evergreen webinar have more functionality to look like it's live. So adding an active chat box with people chatting would be really cool. Another service has this. I wish support would get back to me a little faster. They average about 4-8 hours. That can be frustrating when you need to get something done quickly.

Pros

There are a LOT of moving parts involved when it comes to setting up, planning, and running a webinar. Therefore, I LOVE the layout and the simple tabs inside the EW system because it ensures I don't forget anything or miss a step as I'm planning things out. I also love the ease of making a live webinar evergreen, or even changing my mind last minute and choosing to make an evergreen one live. The versatility and ease of use makes EW the absolute best system out there (I've never used another webinar system, but when my friends talk about how they wish they could do certain things in whatever system they're using, I find myself saying, "Oh I can do that with EasyWebinar." I'm so glad I found EW :-)

Cons

What I like least is that I wish I could use a live chatbox FROM EasyWebinar, rather than having to use a third party one (like Chatroll). Using Chatroll is yet another "thing" I have to add on that I wish I didn't need. Yes, EasyWebinar has a chatbox, but not one I can use during an automated webinar. In other words, I wish I could run a truly hybrid webinar from within EW by having my recorded webinar going while using EW's built-in chat box features so I can answer questions live. The other thing I wish for is that I wish I could see a calendar (see the whole month at a glance) with what automated webinars I'm placing on what days. For example, I wish I could see that Evergreen Webinar "A" is running on these particular dates/times in March so I could quickly add in Evergreen Webinar "B" on non-conflicting days and times in March as well. As it is now, I have to do a lot of scribbling down dates and times and then clicking back and forth to make sure my other webinar isn't competing against my new webinar because I can't see how everything is laid out. I wish I could do that.

Pros

I originally heard good things about it - but had a poor experience overall.

Cons

Not very user friendly - can't even add images if you're uploading it to the automated email through their platform. You need to upload it to your server first. Other things are similar to this where the tech side should be simple but it seems more complicated.

Their customer service was also very poor. 2 ppl told me contradicting information. One representative told me I couldn't get a refund after the trial (but it says something different in their legal disclaimer), and he often took 5 days or even a week to respond me! He said he would look until the refund, but didn't even respond me for one week, even though I sent 3 follow up emails. Very poor customer service.

Pros

EasyWebinar is awesome. It's like a total game-changer for me and my clients! The evergreen funnel mixed with Facebook and Google ads was phenomenal at getting my clients more leads and more revenue. Also support is great, if you ever need help with anything. Quick to respond and actually helpful. EasyWebinar is the webinar software I recommend.

Cons

Not too many cons. They just made a big update which made me go and re-learn which was kind of annoying, but not that big of a deal. Especially, since the new version is even better than it was.

Pros

The average person can set up a marketing channel to get their product and/or service out to their prospect. You can also create custom websites for those who want to expand their marketing. Good ROI for me situation.

Cons

Just need to know a bit of html to customize.

Reasons for Switching to EasyWebinar

Pros

This software is extremely easy to customise, use and set up. The navigation is superb, the reporting is very detailed and it links directly with all our other platforms for easy integration.

Cons

Can't think of anything that hasn't been good.

Pros

Too many pros to list them all, but without a doubt, this is the best app for creating automated webinars... And the team continuously adds more features to it on a regular basis.

Cons

What I don't like about Easy Webinar is that they only allow us to use it for automated webinars, and not for live ones. At least, without having to use YouTube, which is not the best streaming option.

Pros

When I used EasyWebinar for my webinar needs I really love how much I could actually do on the platform. For example, I was able to send emails reminders to the people who signed up for each webinar.

I really love that feature and feel it's super important to help individuals remember to attend the webinar.

Cons

The only con I really have about EasyWebinar is that it is a little bit more expensive if you are just starting out. It would be great to have lower payment options as well.

Pros

We had already 2 live and 2 evergreen webinars with EasyWebinar. We 've found it a
very good and flexible solution. The support is very friendly and willing to help.
The tool has lots of features and seems like the developers really understood the needs of webinars producers while developing the product.

Cons

Support is available only online- sometimes there's a waiting time. From time to time basic coding is required. Registration page designs are customized and cannot be changed easily. Also, time zones are comprehenssive for western countries, for Africa or remoted regions you may not find the specific time zone to fit your evergreen webinar location.

Pros

Not being very technically skilled, I muddled around for a while myself but got frustrated quickly. But the reps from the help desk changed everything! You can schedule time for his help and he shows you how to do it all! So patient and knowledgeable, we got my evergreen webinar set up together. Thank you! Looks like everything is working really well and I'm very excited to be a member of the EasyWebinar family.

Cons

I wish when you sign into the dashboard - you could see your files immediately. You have to know where they are tucked away and what they are called, vs. having something with "Your Files" right there on the dash board showing.

Pros

What I liked most using Easy Webinar was the ease of setting everything up. I'm not a huge techy person and I could even figure it out. The creators keep things up to date and adding further features to make it even better. Truly a great service to promote products/services on autopilot to potential customers!

Cons

What I liked least about it was the cost. It was too expensive for us to renew for another year. Considering how little we were using it anymore.

Pros

The software is easy to use and stable.

Cons

In the beginning it was a bit difficult to get it going, but after a few updates this issue was solved.

Pros

Absolutely a breeze to use, anyone can figure this out. I am able to drag and drop my content in so many file formats, as well as integrate existing web content in a way that looks seamless on the hub!

Cons

So far just feeling really positive about this process. There have been a couple of occurrences of slow uploads and error messages with video content so I've had to repeat the process a few times, but it's no biggie.

Pros

It was very easy to set up a webinar and start one immediately.

Cons

I wish they integrated with LeadPages, but I requested it, so hopefully they will do that soon.

Pros

It was not user friendly and I didn't enjoy using this at all

Cons

It was not user friendly, being in Australia and the time difference, felt we had no support or answers to queries when we needed it. The timings were out when replayed, we even had a random person appear at the beginning of our presentation. Editing was non-existent.

Pros

Ease of use
Functionality
High latency
Continuous uptime
Easily integrated

Cons

None... I seriously could not find a single problem!

Pros

I like the ability to buy the lifetime membership. One less thing to worry about paying for my business, monthly. And the customer support is pretty good.

Cons

Not a drag-and-drop design. Could look a little more professional and upscale.

Pros

I have enjoyed using Easywebinar to set up my evergreen funnels. The software is pretty simple and easy to use.

Cons

I wish that Easywebinar had more options for setting up the design of pages.

Pros

That it simplified the process of hosting, running and creating webinars and funnels - like A, B, C - 1, 2, 3. I have tried them all - literally, no exaggeration, and nothing has come close to Easy webinars configuration AND the level of customer support. NOTHING.

Cons

There is nothing I do not like about this software.

Pros

Actually how easy it is to set up and start using it

Cons

Nothing was wrong, so far I like everything

Pros

Ease of use. Feature rich. One software fits it all

Cons

The fact that we can't enable chat in automated webinars

Pros

EasyWebinar solution designed to help you generate qualified leads, retain customers, and present effectively.

Cons

There is no such cons or a easy webinar. But you you have to spent more time on this software to make it easy for youself.

Pros

Functionality is terrific. I use this once a week for my work and the layout in particular stands out for having a terrific balance of ease of use and a magnitude of extremely useful features. It is very versatile and does exactly what it sets out to do. Very impressed.

Cons

Adding a chatbox is the ONLY thing I'd love to see implemented in this. It is not a huge fallback for my uses, however.

Pros

You don't need tech experience! All the help articles and videos are so thorough. The support team is also very responsive and has sent me personalized video tutorials when I've gotten stuck.

Cons

I would love to see more templates and customization options for beginners (without needing advanced CSS code), but the templates they do have are a great start.

Pros

It's very easy to call in using a code to listen in on meetings. I was able to do this at work (when we all still went to work) and continue my regular activities.

Cons

Sometimes I noticed a weird clicking sound. No idea if that was the fault of the app or the connection but others in my office heard it too on their own headphones

Pros

There were a lot of instruction videos which made set up pretty easy. It was nice to have the option to send reminders from EasyWebinar to registrants.
I do like the automation feature.

Cons

I found it frustrating that I couldn't add a Google Slide presentation without converting it to a PowerPoint format and there was no place to have the notes while going along with the presentation.
I would have liked to see the results on the emails that were sent out to see the open and click through rates so I could adjust as needed.
I would have liked clearer instructions on connecting Easy Webinar to CRM such as Active Campaign. It was very convuluted and didn't work at all.
During the webinar presentations, I kept getting messages saying my internet was unstable and it even kicked me off at one point while I was live with attendees, even though I was five inches away from my router and was plugged in with stable internet on my end. Tech support was unable to assist with this issue.
Also during my presentation, I switch back from having the camera view to screen sharing, when I switched to the camera view, my presentation disappeared and I had to reload it, scroll to find the right slide which was very cumbersome. I would have liked to have an option to switch back and forth between the two views seemlessly.

I will be looking for a better platform to use for both my live and automated webinars, there were too many issues during the live presentations.

Pros

The support team is very helpful and the app works very well

Cons

I think the design of the pages could be improved, as it’s not always intuitive to work with.

Reasons for Switching to EasyWebinar

Pros

Not only is Easy Webinar very easy to use, it also simplifies the process of building out landing pages for your events. The thing I like most about using Easy Webinar is their outstanding customer service support.

Cons

I have no complaints about the software.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to EasyWebinar

Pros

EasyWebinar offers and easy to use webinar service. You can create live and evergreen events by the click of a button. When you go live, you can record the event and offer an instant replay or turn it into an every green event that can be streamed live at anytime you choose. I also like that I can download my recorded events for later use.

I really like that there is an email system built into EasyWebinar. I can create custom emails and set a time for them to go to anyone registered for my event before or after the event.

During my webinars I can engage with attendees in the chat. I can bring someone on the call live side by side. I can share offers of my products during the webinar as well.

When sharing a presentation during my webinar I can set it so my attendees are still able to see me in the corner.

Cons

The video quality is really poor.
The email system has glitches.
It doesn't work well with all browsers so depending on how people are tuning in they may have video or sound issues.

Pros

I was looking for a basic and easy to use webinar platform that wasn't too expensive, especially to run automated webinars

Cons

The only issue was that there were some tech problems during my launches, especially the registration widget on my Clickfunnels landing page and I was running FB ads so I had to pause my ads until it was fixed, and leads were very frustrated at not being able to register. However the support and tech team were really great at fixing it ASAP, even though they were not responding immediately, especially on weekends, in time they responded and fixed things much quicker

Pros

For the money Easywebinar is incredible. It's loaded with features for both live and autmoated webinars. I don't know of another system that allows you to do so much while only using one platform. The customer support and coaching is really top-notch. Skip was really helpful to me personally as he answered questions about the product but also helped me develop a strategy.

Cons

The setup is a little confusing. You'll need to use video walkthrough's and probably get on a chat with the team. My least favorite thing was discovering I'd need to use 3rd party video hosting for my automated webinar. This is an added cost and it wasn't clear to me that Easywebinar doesn't host the video for the automated webinar.

Pros

The assistance/customer support I received from [sensitive content hidden] helped in leaps and bounds to ensure the day went smoothly and that my client was at ease for any and all questions they had regarding the day, the set up and the platform. [sensitive content hidden] managed to explain things incredibly well to me and also ensured he was able to assist me where possible. A massive thank you to him for providing that level of comfort for an often stressful time when launching an online event.

Cons

Only being able to contact people at certain working hours

Pros

I had an issue with my embeddable widget on Showit. [sensitive content hidden] was timely and had great communication and saw to it that the team personally fixed my issue by changing the code.

Cons

No issues - any issues I've had had always been addressed promptly

Pros

I like the options it offers me to sell my evergreen course. It provides various viwwing times for my audience at my discretion which gives me more control and gives my audience more of a 'live' experience. It also integrates with Convertkit so I'm able to use my own native follow up sequences. It also integrates with leadpages which is great!

Cons

The interface looks dated and not always intuitive. It definitely has a small company feel about it which is good for customer service but lacking in beautiful intuitive software. There were definitely a lot of questions when setting everything up.

Pros

The potential I believed it had. They started strong with personalized support, but that is short lived.

If you are seasoned in webinars, the reputation is great... If you are new, however.... forget it.

Cons

Mostly, the lack of personal communication when asking for support. I had two separate issues that were never fully addressed. I received coined/automated responses but never real answers to my questions. It was deeply frustrating after writing in five times and I just chose to close my account. I sincerely feel I wasted my money.

There were many aspects to uploading a webinar that were not simplified and required customer support as they were not automated or simple. Very time consuming...

Pros

What I like most about EasyWebinar is that it's User Interface is simple to navigate, has plenty of webinar customization options, and works perfectly on iPhone/Android devices!

Cons

Honestly so far I have not run into anything really that makes me say I don't like something about EasyWebinar.

Pros

Metadata serves as the sole platform for distributing all digital advertisements across multiple channels and comparing the measurements of our entire advertisement structure, as well as providing a diverse range of campaign schemas and demographics.

Cons

The file is difficult to access due to its size.

Pros

This software has been easy to use and was relatively easy to set up and we've been very grateful for the great support. The data collected has been very useful for our business.

Cons

Because so many people want to view things on their mobile devices, having a poorly functioning mobile app option is very unfortunate and repels many potential clients. Not being compatible with Safari is also a huge issue. Too many caveats for using this software.

Pros

Integration with zapier and highly used CRM tools. Fast support

Cons

No upload feature of my video. Upgrading attendee seats while the event is in progress seems not instantaneously

Pros

One of the things that I like about EasyWebinar is, the scarcity features available in EasyWebinar e.g. when you are talking about the offer in the Webinar Video, you can make it show CTA with the countdown that takes users to the offer Landing Page. This helps in improving the conversions.

Apart from this, EasyWebinar has a simple-to-use interface, so it doesn't take much time to learn.

Also, talking about the duplicate webinar feature in the software really helps to speed up the Webinar Creation process (when you already have a few webinars already set up).

Cons

EasyWebinar is a bit on the pricey side.

Pros

Ease of Use and Customer Support are Fantastic!

Cons

Don't have any negatives really. Only one request I'd like them to offer more customized templates as an added feature

Pros

Easy to use, always there to help, makes sure their customers know and understand their product.

Cons

I like everything about the software. There is nothing I do not like. I am still using it today!

Pros

I really like that the people can attend the webinars at a time that's convenient for them. This is huge for me. I've been running around training and wearing myself thin. This allows me to be training and providing information while I'm asleep.

Cons

I haven't found anything that I can say I like "least".

Pros

The ability to make money without having to do much! It's seamless and loves how it integrates perfectly with our CRM to tag folks at appropriate intervals so we can do customized follow-up.

Cons

It takes a little time to get used to the setup. I love the tabs at the top and how they guide you through each step of the process, but it's a little tricky, especially the first time, if you aren't used to it. It's a little complicated for setting a customized registration widget on a separate page.

Pros

I love how quick and simple it is to up load a power point presentation into the platform/software. I also like how simple it copy and past the URL to promote my webinar and how its preset to run the same every week at the same time A-Z and there is no need for me to keep having to re-enter all the details. Big time saver.

Cons

At this point i can honestly say there is nothing i personally don't like about the software.

Pros

Pros:
- Easy to turn a webinar evergreen
- Can show your camera and slides at the same time
- Fantastic customer service!!
- I like that the replay page has a chat box so that people can still ask questions and they come to me by email.

Cons

- Can't see open rates on emails without buying another software. This was a deal breaker.
- Have to pay even more for a date merge field if I link EW with my own email provider. This made it very difficult to send out emails on time for the live webinar and the evergreen webinar just gets the email right away, even if they signed up for a class starting 15 minutes from now.
- The in house email templates were very difficult to edit.
- Would love to see more options for landing pages, though the ones they have are good.
- Would like to see more detailed reporting and stats. If I run a webinar live for three days, I can't easily see how many registrants and attendees for each time slot.

Pros

Great customer service from [sensitive content hidden]. Quick and solved the problem.

Cons

It's tech-heavy and time consuming to set up

Pros

I like how it has most if not all of the features of the other automated webinar systems out there. That is really important in this case as this was much less expensive. When looking at the design of the software, it was MUCH easier to set up than other systems.

Cons

The one thing I don't really like, however, I am able to deal with it, is when you click a button for already created events it shows no events. I have to click create a new event, then I​ see my other events and am able to access them that way.

Pros

Rakesh jumped straight on a call, understood the requirements, took them away and helped me in the chat throughout.

Cons

Response time was slightly longer than usual, but was a compicated issue so can be expected

Pros

The ease of use and functionality are awesome. If I ever have a question, the support team and the community are always on it.
I love that they're continually making Easy Webinar better. The functionality improvements of the software are constant and have been so since started using it years ago.

Cons

I'd like to see more customization options, but with that said, the integrations they have make it super easy .
