WebinarJam

Avantages

We had a dream:
What if we could build a system that would allow us to get everything done for our Automated Webinars inside Facebook Messenger?
We recently purchased Everwebinar.
What if we could make it even better by offering such a smooth and seamless experience that we would get signup and attendance rate through the roof.
This was the plan:
From signup to delivery of a branded url to the webinar, reminders before the webinar, follow-up messages if they missed the webinar, attended but left early, watched but did not buy etc, ...
All done in Messenger.
With open rate in Messenger up to 100% and 10x higher CTR than email we thought this would be a game changer for us.
We have spent 3 days and almost 3 nights trying to create this system. It was freaking hard to get all the pieces work together. We failed and failed more. It has been the most challenging automated workflow we've ever built.
We were exhausted, our brains fried & froze.
We hit a massive roadblock and spent 24 hours just on a "little tiny" piece of the puzzle: getting it to work no matter what the timezone of the user is, no matter which On-Demand time they choose. We were almost there 99%.
And then we had a moment of grace.
We made it. And now It works beautifully.
So if you ever had the same dream now you know it is possible.
If you want to test it for yourself check our webinar on "How to create Chatbots and Automated Marketing".

Inconvénients

We would love to have schedule code for Just in Time webinar. I it.have contacted support about this and the tech team is working on

Avantages

We started using webinar jam we had to come up with a solution to pivot our business. Webinar allowed us the ability to literally take hundreds of prospects from our free webinar to being paid customers with ease. The set up process is pretty lengthly, but they created a simple step by step fool proof process that is so very worth it at the end of the day. We have used several other softwares which were either too pricy and didn't deliver the value or didn't offer a streamlined and easy process to get someone to purchase during the webinar. Because of webinar jam we have been able to make sometime over $5000 in one hour from sales. Thank you!

Inconvénients

ability to stream on multiple social media platforms at once and collect emails from those that want to watch.

lack of ability to allow attendees to sign up for email news letter during the sign up process.

ability to assign user to your account however limit admin access so that my assistant and other staff can access and create webinars but prevent them from accessing the ability to download emails from past webinars.

Would love if you also added in the ability to have break out rooms, or eventually full event options like hop.in

Avantages

easy to set up, It took not long time to set up the webinar

Inconvénients

latency between sound and image on the recorded webinar's file the link that was send to costumers redirect to and old recording of the webinar rehasal .

Avantages

Software has great features that allow for “live” looking webinars. Was a great option for my company to use to run frequent webinars without having to be on the webinar. We used pre recorded videos. Follow up features and reminders worked well. Overall I was pleased with the software.

Inconvénients

The set up was a bit complicated. Had to get my agency to help figure out the technical end so that it worked correctly.

Avantages

- Ease of set up & use
- Lots of features & new updates
- Stable software
- Quick support

Inconvénients

If you could provide even more webinar registration templates that are customizable that would be awesome!

Avantages

The Evergreen platform is a good idea if it works properly.

Inconvénients

Prospects were not able to log in, people got booted off the webinar, administrators had a hard time starting a webinar and their support system was horrible. We lost so much money relying on this system for our webinars.

Avantages

I like the additional features of reminders, social cues to get people to convert and the recording is amazingly good.

Inconvénients

It is wholly lacking a paid user solution. The best they can come up with is shoving a PayPal button on a registration form. The signup process reflects a funnel with several steps and should really be a single checkout form - name info, card info, seats - checkout. But instead, you have to register by just selecting the webinar, then go pay through a third-party app, then go actually register through their form. It's ZAPIER integration does not accept actions so if you made a simple flow for checkout you can neither write them in through Zapier nor load a file of guests. Paid functionality for sign up is minimal.

Avantages

Made the decision of trying it after reviewing expert videos and websites like Capterra recommending it. I consult for a non-profit with limited budget and as many others, are in need of remote tools to deliver their messages. I am NOT in the business of selling fake guru trainings, I need a solid, professional platform to educate a demanding audience that attend free sessions. I hoped WebinarJam was the solution of my problems but the trial was unsuccessful.

Inconvénients

Registration fields are very limited (e.g. we would love to request company name), confirmation emails work unreliably, interface is cumbersome and counter-intuitive (especially for attendees), if you upload the slides they lose the animation, we tried many times to share our powerpoint screen with little success. This is VERY frustrating and for us, it was unacceptable. It's probably better for pre-recorded webinars but I don't recommend it for Live Webinars. Avoid embarrasment! Customer service is really slow but I want to attribute it to COVID-19.

Avantages

I love using WebinarJam to connect with our customers and run our weekly Ultimate Music Theory LIVE Webinars. It's super easy to set up and use and I love the COPY function and options with email responders to stay connected to our customers. I also love the options of having different sizes of my live image inside the screen sharing option so people know I really AM LIVE with them.

Inconvénients

Love all the new concepts you have added!!

Avantages

It's very easy to start, and its very well design. In a few minutes you can start and get up and going your first webinar. Also, it integrates with several platforms, like Aweber, Mailchimp, Zapper and the companies' own Kartra.

Inconvénients

I can't see a big leap forward in the last couple of years. Yes, they did launch version 4 almost 2 years ago, but it was just a minor update, and since then, no new features whatsoever. They are lagging and don't innovate as much as one might want.

Avantages

I just love how many features this software has. And they ALL work as engineered.

Inconvénients

I don’t really have any complaints at this time. If i do, I’ll be sure to update the review.

Avantages

Offers two-way audio and video, screen sharing, and live chat capabilities for effective communication and interaction.Enables mobile access, allowing attendees to join the webinar from their mobile devices.Streamlines event management with features such as real-time chat and file sharing.Offers presentation streaming for seamless delivery of presentation materials.

Inconvénients

Potential technical limitations and the need for good quality audio and video equipment, reliable network connection.May require investment in technology and training for effective use.

Avantages

We run multiple webinars a month as a way of outlining our product solutions to prospective new customers. These webinars deliver a consistent flow of sales for our business. WebinarJam is integral to us doing this.

WebinarJam simplifies all of the set up and running of webinars so we can just focus on the content and delivery. It integrates with all of our tracking and mailing list systems. Makes it super easy to prepare sales webinars with pre-defined "buy buttons" etc.

And we can interact with clients in real time chat during the call, answering any questions / dealing with objections as they arise.

WebinarJam automates all of the registration, confirmation and reminder notifications and can even handle replay pages.

You can configure the webinar in "express mode" which is super quick to get up and running - or you can dive into the "full configuration" mode which gives you total control over every conceivable option.

I particularly love how it integrates with ClickFunnels so we can build custom registration pages - and how it tags people in our email CRM so we know who attended / didn't attend / showed up late and/or stayed engaged throughout the webinar, so we can customise their followup.

It also integrates with Zapier - which opens up plenty of options for other integration. A very versatile tool.

Inconvénients

One frustrating thing about WebinarJam - is really the flip side of such a powerful platform... - there are so MANY options, that at times it can be hard to figure where to find what you need.

And the UI feels a little dated. There are times when a modern UX would be super helpful - for example, type-ahead searching in an unordered drop-down list containing hundreds of options is pretty much standard these days - but in WebinarJam, you have to scroll all the way through the list to find what you want. Hopefully this will be addressed in time.

Avantages

I used WebinarJam for about 3 years when I first launched my website. Someone whose site I admired recommended them, so I signed up. At the time I was using Google Hangouts and their solution (an overlay over Google Hangouts) was a perfect fit. It gave me analytics for my Hangout and I could track who attended and who signed up but didn't show.

Inconvénients

My least favorite part of the software was the price. I always thought I was paying far too much for what I was receiving. And when YouTube Live became a thing I jumped ship and haven't looked back. The person who recommended WebinarJam still uses the software. I don't get the appeal.

Avantages

It has a pool of features like Screen share, run a poll/voting, Upload slides, online Chat, replay option and we can also play videos.

Inconvénients

The latency was not good when and User interface is quite moderate and would be great if they improve it further.

Avantages

I found it easy to use and how amazing my webinar looked -- not just the actually webinar but all the ancillary materials look very high-end, well beyond my skills in creation of marketing materials .

Inconvénients

Trying to think of something really -- but I like everything so far; setting up a webinar is easy. Doing it, is easy. And the tracking of information on participants is easy as well.

Avantages

Is great for webinars to attract new subscribers and sale prospects. Is great that it's structure covers all the communication needs for a semi live or live events

Inconvénients

The cost is a bit high I would not say is affordable but it's a great investment for a medium company to do events and be recognized

Avantages

Webinarjam has taken the 'fear' out of live presentations. Fear of not getting registrants, fear of tech failure, fear of not getting results. And converting those to Everwebinar has been our secret sales converter.

Inconvénients

Support needs work. We struggled to get a few things right on the new platform. The integration with Infusionsoft is not as deep as it should be (we couldn't see all our tags - it was throttled). We had to get creative on our side to try keep it all working - things got desperate as the switch deadline loomed and no word from support.
Would also like to be able to export the chat. That seems like a no-brainer when creating multiple niched/segmented webinars.

Avantages

I choose this platform based on recommendations from those who know techy stuff and I am so glad I learned how to use it myself. Yes, it took some effort and attention to learn it but I didn't need to buy any fancy microphones or cameras, everything was included from the comfort of my own laptop!

Inconvénients

The only thing I still haven't mastered is increasing my definition - picture quality could be better and I am not sure how to make that happen. But it is definitely good enough and certainly shows power points well.

Avantages

Super user friendly but thinks of EVERYTHING. Any issues or leverage points, it's got you covered on all bases. I love how intuitive and detailed it is. But at the core, for everything that it's capable of and all that it's got to offer it's pretty simple and easy to learn.

Inconvénients

If I had to be picky, there's a slight (and I mean very slight) learning curve. You have to look at this from the perspective of how much am I looking to accomplish? When you put it into ration, the learning curve is nothing compared to what you're capable of doing thereafter.

Avantages

In the beginning, we loved how the webinar software involved business offers within the webinars. We thought the software really looked flawless and simple.

Inconvénients

Bad customer service and technical issues. When we had an issue early in the day before our 7 PM webinar, there was no response for hours and there was never a response. The webinar deleted and we needed support because it had been accidentally cloned. As a business owner myself, I know it is crucial to be able to have contact with customers and help them as best I can. They advertise 24/7 customer service but they have no 800 number or live chat. The only way to contact them is put in a "ticket" which we never received a response from. They also took pride in the "test run" option. We tested the webinar on multiple computers and the test did not work. Then we tried it on a MAC and it did work... We decided to do the webinar on that MAC because the test worked (video and audio). Then 30 minutes later when we started the webinar, the audio said it was on and working and everything else looked perfect.... but our attendees could not connect and the ones that could connect could not hear us even when it said the audio was on.

Avantages

Seems to work most of the time. No attendee downloads. Fairly simple to run. Can upload powerpoint for presentation reducing required bandwidth.

Inconvénients

Last night it went completely psychotic: 125 people on a webinar and it started replaying 6 seconds of my talk over and over. Then it disconnected me. I logged back on and it started looping it again. By the end of the time 19 people were there. I'm now handling complaints and a loss of income.

I attempted to contact Webinarjam and after 20 minutes found a phone number. The phone message does not accept incoming calls but gives you another website address to get help. There, I finally found where I could file a ticket. There is no communication with the company other than that.

I got an absurd response 12 hours later that said they suspected it was MY internet or computer that was at issue...uh. no. I have conducted over 200 webinars over 3 years and never had a problem like this. I also have 2 more webinars this week and no hope that anyone will respond. You prepay so if they don't perform as promised you are simply out of luck.

Avantages

The ease of use to setup my Webinar, it took less than 10 minutes, even when choosing the more advanced setting option.

Inconvénients

1. Technical Issues with it, when I entered the Room as the Host, my Guest Host's where not able to join in, instead they ended up in a different Webinar Room. When I re-started and tried again, and clicked on the link to join the Webinar Room where it was supposed to be with my login details, I ended up on an error page. Never in my life with other Webinar Platforms I had issues like that before, as a Result I had to quickly change the Software I had to use, in order to hold my Online Summit, very frustrating experience, which is why I cancelled my Trial!

Avantages

I found the set up of my Everwebinar webinar easy and love that it runs in the background of my business to continue bringing in leads and revenue

Inconvénients

You are currently forcing a change that means I can no longer run my webinar as is, that I need to join another paid platform or have Youtube branding on my video and shifting it will ruin the data and success of my current funnel.
I also have not had any response to help with this issue or whether I can keep it as is.

Avantages

I like that the pricing structure is not based per viewer and that it is incredibly easy to set up and run.

Inconvénients

Support are very weak. Take a long time to respond.

Quite buggy email system, would not rely on this. However, they make it difficult to use your own with the unique links.
