Webinato vs. GoToWebinar:

If you are familiar with GoToWebinar, you will notice immediately that Webinato offers you a much more powerful webinar platform without any software installs for your attendees!

Webinato offers in a simple environment many more interactive tools such as the AutoPilot record & replay, the Cobrowser, the Survey and Notes module…

Webinato vs. Webex:

Unlike Webex, Webinato does not require any software installs and offers a much easier to use environment. Webinato is also more reliable than Webex especially for external presentations. If record and replay is important to you, the Webinato AutoPilot module will make a significant difference as well. Additionally we offer a superior customer support experience at lower cost to you.

Webinato vs. Adobe Connect

While Adobe is a great software company, it is not a service provider and that is why you would always deal with a reseller for the Connect service. Although Connect offers a large number of tools, they are not always user-friendly enough and often require a long learning process.

Webinato vs. On24

On24 offers a nice looking interface and great reports for your large events. However, Webinato beats On24 in many areas such as price, ability to self-manage webinars, the level of interactivity of your webinars and last but not least, customer support.

Webinato is available worldwide in accordance with laws of the United States of America. Webinato is available in many languages and supports non-latin characters as well.

All functions are supported on Mac.

The Webinato mobile app allows attendees to not only follow webinars but also participate with chat, polls, Q&A… The Webinato app does not currently allow to present.

Through the Event Management section of the Admin page, organizers can easily create mobile-friendly and customizable landing pages for one-time or recurring events. Registrants will be automatically emailed information regarding your events including up to two reminders.

Full reporting will provide you real-time information on registrants.

The Admin page of your account has a Reporting section in which you can search past events and obtain detailed reports on attendance including time spent in the event, answers to polls and surveys, chat, list of downloaded documents…

Reports can be viewed online or downloaded in Excel sheets. Reports can also be received via API.

Webinato facilitates integration with any third party system through its standard APIs. There are APIs for:

• Event Management
• Event Registration
• Reporting
• SSO (Single Sign On) or Login
• User Management
• Room and Company Settings

The Webinato engineering team is working on a Zapier API to facilitate further integration efforts.

A Presenter has access to all presentation tools in the webinar room. Examples are: Chat, Turning On Mic and/or Webcam, Loading and advancing Slides, Sharing own screen, Writing on the White Board, launching a poll, loading a survey, showing a video, sending room announcements, etc.

The Organizer has access to all Presenter’s features plus access to administrative tools such as starting or ending the webinar,  changing the room layout, running the Q&A Manager, removing inappropriate chat messages, etc.

Please note you can only have one organizer per room unless you purchase the Enterprise Service Level.

Over 80% of our customers only use the integrated VOIP with simple microphones. Webinato has echo-cancellation for its audio to enable multiple presenters to speak at the same time.

For those preferring phone, a complimentary full conference bridge is provided with every webinar room. Hybrid audio is also facilitated. Example: presenters talk through the phone while attendees listen on their computers.

We also offer toll-free conference bridges at a fee.

Webinato offers a special tool, called Slides to present PowerPoints in real-time. Instead of sharing your screen, the Slides module lets you show slides with animations and transition with the following advantages:

• Presenters can annotate slides in real-time
• Presenters can see presentation notes
• Presenters can see thumbnail slides to help them see upcoming slides
• The slides automatically fit into attendees’ screens
• The visual quality is much sharper than sharing screen

The Screen Sharing feature allows presenters to show their entire monitors (up to two) or a region of their screen to attendees. The screen sharing speed is optimized by only transmitting the regions of the screen that are being modified instead of the entire screen at all times.

Please note Webinato offers a better solution to show PowerPoint slides than sharing your entire screen. The Slides module lets you convert your PowerPoint files into a playable slide show which will automatically fit into your attendees’ screens and will offer a much better visual experience.

The Chat feature has many capabilities to enable management of large audience:

• Ability to hide general chat messages so only presenters see attendees’ messages
• Ability to private message attendees
• Add up to 2 dedicated chat threads. Example: one chat thread for technical questions alone and one between presenters only
• Color-code chat messages to categorize
• Delete inappropriate chat messages

The Q&A module allows more formal sessions with ability for the organizer to prioritize questions, assign them to different presenters… Q&A also includes full reporting.

You can easily add logos and banners into your rooms and select a color scheme to match your website through the Smart Skin module. Smart Skin asks you for only 3 primary colors then it styles the rest of the interface based on those colors. Learn More.

In addition to banners and colors, you may configure the layout of your rooms. For instance you can set the live video tab and the Slides tab to be side-by-side.

The unique AutoPilot module lets you easily record an event by simply typing a name and clicking a button.

The end-result is a recording that will play while preserving all interactivity of the original event as if it was live. For instance, if there was a poll at the minute 8 of your presentation, the replay will pop up the same poll 8 minutes into the replay and the viewer can actually take the poll! This recording is available to replay immediately after the end of your event. Learn More.

AutoPilot recording must replay from our servers. For those wanting to keep a copy of their webinars on their own servers or burn a CD with it, you may request an mp4 recording generated from the AutoPilot replay, which becomes available within 12 hours.

Using simple webcams presenters can produce high quality 30-frame-per-second live video. There is no limit in the number of simultaneous video feeds although we do not recommend more than 4 due to potential bandwidth issues.

The Webinato interface is available in over 10 languages including English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Polish, Arabic and Portuguese.

Additionally Webinato supports non-latin characters including right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Hebrew or Persian.

We provide 24 x 7 technical and customer support via live chat and helpdesk ticketing as well as business-hours phone support to organizers and presenters for continental US.

Additionally the Webinato customer support team helps you with industry best practices so you can improve your webinars and reach better results. Our team is also great at making custom changes to our platform to meet and exceed your requirements.

The Webinato team can also provide training for your new admins, organizers and presenters.
