Demio

Avantages

The ability to get off the ground running quickly with Demio is part of what makes this one of the better webinar software on the market. Without much setup time at all, admins can have a professional-looking webinar setup and ready to accept registrations. I also use the Mailchimp integration, and while I think it could be better optimized, it is still useful for automatically adding registrants to your mailing lists.

Inconvénients

Having to pay for the ability to add more than 1 host greatly prohibits smaller marketing teams without a large budget. The ability to switch between brands for 1 price would be preferred.

Avantages

It's easy to set up and learn the features!

Inconvénients

I haven't used it long enough to discover features I don't like.

Avantages

It's clean, has an attractive interface for attendees

Inconvénients

Demio is fatally flawed. Imagine you are hosting an event ... wonderful speakers, 200 attendees hanging on their every word. Then *your* broadband connection goes down. Or you have to leave *your* laptop and it hibernates. Or it crashes. You now have 10 minutes to get back online, otherwise your event is (genuinely - confirmed in multiple emails) instantly terminated and your guests are kicked out ignominiously. You will not be able to get back into the session to even tell them what has happened.

Why would a piece of software be written to do this ? After more than 30 years in software development I cannot even imagine ...

So instead you get to sit anxiously in front of your laptop praying that nothing goes wrong for more than ten minutes, shuffling the mouse to make sure it stays awake, wondering if you're going to make it to the end of the day.

That's why we're leaving demio ... nobody in their organisation seems to think this is an issue and nobody in our organisation wants the stress of hosting events on demio any more.

Avantages

Ease of use, user-friendly set-up for marketers, presenters, as well as the audience.
The best part about the service is their customer service team as they are always there with 100% helpful responses. I tested many other services because I wanted my first webinar to be perfect and I realized that Demio had the best turn-around time -often a few minutes!

Inconvénients

I think I was nervous about how I had to conduct practice runs by duplicating the main event itself. Hopefully, the team develops a way you can test your main event because it is a hassle correcting stuff from the duplicate event to the main event when you're testing stuff. I think improving this feature will make it more effective for the host to test and make sure everything is perfect.

Avantages

Demio was the new kid on the block when we made the switch and we wanted to support the vision for a platform specific to marketers. Demio have delivered on that better than most. At that time WebinarJam had serious Google integration problems so it felt safer to go with a solution that did not rely on external streaming.

Inconvénients

On-demand functionality and email scheduling/customising. Video quality on recordings remains highly questionable; regardless of strength of connection (we are on a Gigabit connection and quality is still poor).

Pourquoi passer à Demio

Avantages

Demio is easy to use, is refined actively by the product team, has very helpful/knowledgeable support staff, and removes a lot of the manual work associated with webinars.

Inconvénients

Some fairly simple things, such as searching for form fields when syncing with Hubspot can only be done through scrolling (you can't search up field names), which can be a hold-up in this process.

Avantages

Easy to set up events in advance, publish at certain times and have great branded pages along with dedicated/personalised confirmations and reminders. Software comes with a wide range of In-depth reporting

Inconvénients

Adding media to webinars can sometimes look out of place. Fixed areas of media spaces available. Can sometimes make a great page look messy

Ease of use, 24/7 customer support, flexibility, clean interface for hosts and guests, polls, downloads, privacy, this is WAY BETTER than ZOOM. WAY BETTER.

Inconvénients

It's a bit on the higher end for my startup, but it totally does worth the investment, so it's still totally worth it

Avantages

I found that the software was VERY intuitive, but the main reason why I chose Demio is because the webinar viewer does not have to download software. I was also impressed with its integration into Convertkit.

Inconvénients

On one of our three webinars, the signal kept dropping for viewers, and I believe this had to do with our wifi strength rather than the software. Not sure.

Avantages

So simple and straight forward to use and highly user friendly. Easy click on or off functions when adding components to your webinars, such as emails or customising your registration pages.

Inconvénients

Some more reporting and statistics could be developed for the affiliate section, but I know that this is already in the making.

Pourquoi passer à Demio

Avantages

Demio has been great. Love that you can easily create a landing page that looks great; send out automated reminders with a customised message; link with Mailchimp (should the person signing up approve that, which is probably 50/50); it's lovely that our socially anxious community cannot accidentally turn on their camera, as has happened via Zoom. Replays can be automatically sent out. A great feature is the ability to share handouts for download within the webinar chatbox. Love that Demio are regularly updating their product and sharing their roadmap.

Inconvénients

On some video playbacks, the sound seems to have been glitchy. Some people have found it hard to access or hear at times, though I believe this seems to have resolved. Presenters cannot access via a mobile phone. It's more suited to using from a laptop. Would be nice to have the option to have everyone on screen - as we have had to go back to using Zoom for some calls because of this.

I have used two other online webinar platforms before using Demio. The 1st one had such a limited functionality that it did not work for my business. The second one had 2 major crashes when I had over 150 people in my online class on 2 separate occasions. Demio is very reliable. All of the participants in my online classes report how easy it is to use. The data tools included are extremely helpful to my business. I am very fortunate to have this platform to help grow my business.

Inconvénients

I have not experienced any problems at all yet. The customer service is excellent and the platform works flawlessly.

Avantages

We love how user-friendly it is. Anyone can easily figure out how to use and customize the webinar rooms.

They also offer better features (customize registration page and add logo or background, customize automatic emails, can send replay links, PowerPoints/handouts, call to action links, polls, public and private chat boxes, etc).

We have rarely had any issues, and if issues do come up it’s usually something we can troubleshoot on our own.

Inconvénients

If we had to pick something that is our least favorite, it might be that the platform is not supported on Internet Explorer. We make sure to let our customers know which browses are supported and send them a video on how to use Demio before it begins.

Avantages

It's integration with Active Campaign and the ability to share Calls to Action.
You can trigger your own automations when people register to your event, when they attend it or even when they miss it. You can tag them and send them specific emails. Then you record your event (demio does it for you) and use it as a permanent saved webinar.

Inconvénients

You can't help but compare it to zoom. In zoom, everybody can turn their cameras on and you get a feeling as if you where everybody together... Here, you can have 3 or 4 people max with their cams on.

Avantages

Demio is an incredible platform to be able to customize all kinds of webinars and achieve that you can have a high participation of many people within each webinar. I really love that this platform allows me to follow up on each of the clients that have been invited to each webinar, this platform offers me an automated follow-up with which it is able to automatically send reminders to each client so that they remember that they must attend a previously scheduled webinar. I loved the performance measurement system of each webinar, this system allows view the performance of my webinar in real time, I can see how many participants have attended and how many participants have not yet accessed the webinar, in addition, I can also see in real time the quality and audio transmission of each webinar, to know exactly if it's working correctly. Demio offers immediate compatibility with any type of mobile device, which allows this platform to be used within iOS devices or Android devices, by simply downloading an app, all the organizers or participants will be able to access immediately from the mobile device. I also loved the great video quality that I was able to enjoy using this platform, the audio transmission also worked perfectly, which allowed all the organizers to communicate with the participants in real time, without delays in the audio transmission or in streaming video.

Inconvénients

I haven't had any kind of problem with Demio, this platform has behaved excellently, I'm really satisfied with the webinar creation system, as well as I liked the webinar scheduling system, as it allows me to follow up to the invitations that I have sent to each of the clients or future participants. In addition, this platform has also provided security measures for each of the organizers, this platform offers a variety of security options to guarantee the privacy of the attendees, so that no data has been leaked or manipulated. I'm happy with absolutely everything within that platform, the webinar creation functions worked perfectly.

Avantages

1. Simple Webinar Scheduling Option.
2. Once the Event is scheduled, the event dates are automatically updated everywhere ie on the landing page, and email reminders.
3. Integration with convertkit is a very very useful feature, it will separate leads into 3 different segments, which will help for easy follow-up.
4. Webinar Dashboard is also very simple and easy to use.

Inconvénients

1. Screen sharing is not user-friendly.
2. number of attendees should me minimum 100 for started plan

Avantages

When it works, it works well. The webinar recording is automatically available to my clients.

Inconvénients

Lots. The service is totally based on your Internet speed. I have fiber optic Internet speed, which is about as fast as it gets. And every time I have an issue, the company still tells me that it's due to my Internet connection. This is all they ever tell you as an excuse. It's never their platform, it's always your Internet. Also there's just not a lot of features that the other big webinar services have. All in all, it's just not worth it.

Avantages

The third-party integrations are good.
I have seen many tools gicing such integrations.

Inconvénients

This tool doesnt have several features. Like in some computers it shows up that you can share specific window screens. But in some computers again it doesnt let you do that. You only got to share the entire screen. Thats so painful in a webinar.

You cant turn off the chat.

They dont have an app for windows like Zoom. Zoom is way handy.

Most importantly, it consumes hell lotta internet bandwidth. Note, I am not talking about the internet storage, I am talking about bandwidth. Where Zoom is way better and a way light weight tool.

Like, while testing the connectivity, it will show you the connectivity is excellent. But while being in real time it will show up it is poor. That is painful.

Also you cannot pause your screen like you do in ZOOM. you got to disconnect it completely. Again painful. I continuously connect and disconnect, do you think that is something a trainer or host would prefer.

Like ZOOM would even load when the network is slightly slower. But demio doesnt give a damn, the webpage will not load itself, it would keep loading forever. Although it is ok in most of the cases, but ZOOM is way better in this coding aspect as well.

Overall I feel they are yet to come up with a better compatibility with network, computers and more.

Avantages

Demio has a simple and clean user interface that was fast to set-up and very easy to use.

Inconvénients

Lack of integrations is the only CON that I have. I really wish there was a pay wall option either PayPal or Stripe. Having to use Zapier is not convenient or ideal.

Avantages

Super user friendly, easy to set-up, great features that create engagement (e.g poll and featured actions), excellent reporting functions.

Inconvénients

Integration with Salesforce isn't great.

3. Landing Page and Optin - Very useful and quite easy to build and customize to a great extent.
4. Reporting and Dashboard - Very intuitive insightful reporting to know your participant's action.

1. Not Integrated with Payment gateway! I love to see this feature with seamless flow through opt-in page to the payment gateway to collect the payment!

Avantages

Easy to set up and integrate with other tools, great customization, great, decent responsive support

Inconvénients

I can not understand why their presentation quality is so terrible and how it is a thing for a webinar software! Our presenter have great internet, great computers and still their images are so pixelated and blurry!

Avantages

The overall simple interface helps me to look into various tabs and browse through the tool. The branding feature for webinar landing pages is really effective.

Inconvénients

The feature of uploading the power point presentation prior to the webinar is something that I don't quite get. Not sure if direct screen sharing works. If it works, I'm happy to use.

Avantages

I appreciate the minimalistic design and ease of use. I can get in and set up whatever I need and it’s ready to go without a hitch. I like easy. So do my clients. Thanks for creating this tool.

Inconvénients

Still would like the option to stream to platforms. Haven’t seen that feature yet. A nice to have.
