Great user interface and easy to implement
I like the corporate looking user interface for the audience and very straight forward log-in process too. The user interface of other solutions such as GoToWebinar can be confusing for a less tech-savvy audience. IBM has thoroughly thought through everything and the flexibility to integrate the API to expand the registration gateway allows us to have an extra layer of security. Furthermore, the brand IBM is reputable in the market for its data and network security.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I like the user interface. There aren't too many buttons that the audience will have to fiddle with."
"The most valuable feature is video conferencing."
 

Cons

"They should improve the registration gateway. Currently, you can't do a pre-event registration that's straightforward. You have to do an API to integrate. It would be a lot easier if they had that."
"This solution needs better platform integration with third-parties such as Microsoft and Cisco."
