Senior Human Resources Business Partner

Livestorm makes it super easy and straightforward to run multi-track events and webinars with branded landing pages which shines during new product launches.

Sr. Director

Livestorm produces a finished branding, calendar invites, CRM synchronisation and replay capability.

Senior UX Designer

With Livestorm's platform of helpful tools on the dashboard, we've dramatically enhanced our web-based services, where we engage with clients via webinars.

Software Engineer

It's fantastic, and I encourage you to make it your primary mode of communication because of the ease with which you can send messages whenever you want and initiate calls or video conferences with a simple mouse touch.

IT Support Technician

We use Livestorm since we have quite a number of employees (600+) and it would support the amount of people and reactions and internal comms that we never knew we needed.

Sales

To top it all off, Livestorm's dedicated customer service team goes above and beyond to address any concerns or issues, providing prompt assistance and ensuring a seamless experience for us.

Product Marketeer

Very user friendly! And great features like Q&A, automated emails prior & after the event, possibility to download the recordings.

Chief Jobs Officer

There is no perfect platform.   While I like Livestorm's reliability, the lack of features an exorbitant pricing model at scale make it difficult to love.

Companies can quickly contact more people, engage with them, and generate more leads with the help of Livestorm.

Livestorm stands out as an exceptional and multifaceted webinar and video conferencing platform.

Marketing Analyst

The whole subscription based on active contacts per month, instead of number of participants per session, makes this tool a bit pricey.

Client Experience Manager

Registration page is nice, and the data following events is good too.

They do have nice features, but the system itself needs to be more reliable.

Marketer

They will keep requiring invoices even if you provide a one-time payment card (other services don't).

Brand Strategy Manager

setting up an event and the landing page is straightforward, and having the reminder capabilities within the platform is very useful.

Marketing Director

Thanks to this platform, we've been able to include viewers from all around the world in our live broadcasts.

Makes the platform crazy expensive for SMBs.  

The most important feature for our company was that Livestorm does not push you to subscribe to a specific package for a year. But you can subscribe to some package for a month and then upgrade it step-by-step according to the number of webinars and attendees.

Program Manager

After our amazing "Speakout8" competion held on Livestorm I can assure  You also get a beautiful  interactive webinars with the option of inviting users to speak on the stage and ask their questions.

The platform offers various capabilities and functionality for webinars - for example, built-in email marketing, a comprehensive reporting tool, automation for events, an embedded registration page for the website, and many more.

Content Marketing Manager

For example, when you use the event automation to play videos in succession, there's an issue where it'll play two audio feeds simultaneously so it sounds like an echo. And also, if someone joins partway through a session, the video feed will start from the beginning but the chat feed is in real time

Senior Partner

The registration page and the sending of the recording contribute a lot to the attention of people who register even if they have not been able to see the event live

Analytics Market Manager

Customisation of interface is a bit basic with too many restrictions on layout

Marketing

End-to-end solution for emails, landing pages, webinar hosting, etc. all to execute a webinar program.

The learning curve to get adjusted to the new product was surprisingly fast and we could continue the webinar program without any delay.

We can't have a link for the replay to send it to prospect or people who were not suscribed. If we can set up the survey before as setting in the different webinar we create it gonna be easier.

The company decided to use a single platform to organize, attend and take advantage of important business information related to the attendees of the webinar

English Teacher

That it had e personal page to sign in during enrollment.

Awful customer support, bad treatment, the subscription policy is barbaric.

Research Assistant

It has a questions and polls feature which helps meetings/presentations become more interactive without interrupting the speaker.

Partnerships & Content

The ease of interacting with the audience such as polls, Q&A and chat is really useful for creating engaging content that retains attention.

These tools may add a lot of oomph to your event.

President 

The only thing I’ve not been able to do is create a playback link for those who weren’t able to attend without registering them.

There is no clutter in the user interface.

Maybe more integrations with other majors platforms.

Owner

Overall this is a solid tool for running different kinds of events/meetings, at a price that is correct for the features and service that you're getting.

Founder

A very professionnal platform with a high capacity for big group

In charge of projects

We had no solutions to manage our webinars, it was disorganized and we were using several different tools to get the job done.

Freelance Copywriter

With the interactive interface, I can invite users to speak on the stage and ask their questions.

Freelancer

There is a free version for those unsure about it

Marketing Communications Specialist

One thing that can be improved is making it easier to copy a registration link for guest speakers as the current solution forces you to copy the entire text somewhere and pick out the registration link yourself.  

You have nearly everything you want in options (designing the invitation, landing page, ...) and automation before and after an event on the platform so you can manage everything from here.

Marketing and Communication Officer

Livestorm brings all this tools and other ones we didn't expect as polls, ergonomic software, qualified data export, CRM integration, and repeatability of sessions.

Demand Generation Manager

Livestorm has out-of-the-box integrations, user hierarchy, and data enrichment features that accommodates most marketers who see webinars as a growing channel for their B2B program.

Online platform, no app download necessary, integrations (e.g. ZAP) and custumizations possible, covers all our needs (go on stage for participants, video recording ) webinar attendees/user friendly, great customer support

Digital health project manager

No technical problems found during our webinar which hosted almost 200 participants with 6 speakers and 3 technicians ;

Personnalization, and the features during the webinar and data we can export after a webinar !

The presenters and audience did not really notice that we changed platforms !

Head of Technology

I've had several issues with invites being flagged as spam, despite clients whitelisting the relevant domains, and it would be nice to be able to register (rather than invite) people for a webinar directly from the dashboard rather than requiring Zapier, and it would be nice to customise the timing of the triggered mails going out before/after a webinar.

Some users report, however, that the pricing feels high, particularly for small organizations or nonprofits, and they feel that certain features require additional payments, making the total cost less predictable and sometimes difficult to justify.

Director

Keynote falls down due to a lack of good templates, sure some of them look nice and are very artistic but it would be better if they had more ones using simple fonts and simple colour schemes so that they can be modified more quickly to match my brands fonts, colours and styling.

IT Specialist

Not compatible with MS office, requires Mac or apple device to present, templates are a bit lacking.

IT Support Manager

I normally use keynote with Apple devices, so that I do not encounter frustrations.

Advertisement Manager

The easy use for any situation, extraordinary nice designs for your presentation, the transitions are quite smooth.

Teacher

There isn't much to not like about Keynote as it's pretty standard (in my opinion), but if I were to complain about one thing, it would be the video playing within the presentation.

Chiropractor

It is amazing in organizing presentations in an orderly fashion while utilizing Apple products.

Manager

The thing I liked most about keynote is the easy navigation tools it provides.

Account Manager

i used it mostly for presentations and i found it was simple and straightforward with that task and it helped a lot.

The UI of Keynote is more streamlined than Powerpoint in my view.

It works as expected, but I wish there was an "easier" way of playing it (as in making it more "obvious"), but again, it's a minor complaint.

i had an easy time using keynote for presentations and making visual projects.

Learning how to use it can be challenging, but once you get a hold of it, it is useful.

Communications

Photographer

It can be a little simplistic sometimes although that is rarely a problem.

Accessibility Consultant

A great free solution that rivals Microsoft PowerPoint really well.

Provides a professional looking presentation

Not only does it offer beautiful templates to help you create professional presentations, but it also has great features, such as making your slides interactive and linking them to your audio files.

Freelance Content Writer

It offers a wide range of customizable templates, animations, and visual effects that make it easy to create dynamic and interactive presentations.

Art Director

If you too never know where to start for your slide presentations from today you can worry no more, Keynote takes care of it!Templates, guides, animations: with Keynote anyone can make beautiful and functional presentations, it is a thousand steps ahead of all other presentation programs with its always fresh and cool templates.

Content Creator / Admin

Even when the main use of this software is to create slideshows, if you master it enough , it can become your main graphic design tool, specially if you need to make graphics for your live streaming or create a small intro for your show (my case). If you're a mac user, switch to Keynote.

Life Coach

The templates are top notch and make it really easy and intuitive to put together a classy, high quality presentation easily. As most of my work world moved to Zoom (and is planning to stay), being able to quickly create backgrounds, visual cueing and information sharing has been critical.

freelance

The animation tools such as  building, actions and built out,  multiple objects, motion paths, magic move produce an engaging content from 2D motion graphic to customized Gif cards or Gif posts.

Research Scholar 

Some of the features I like most about  Keynote include its customizable templates, built-in media library, ability to add 3D objects and animations, and support for real-time collaboration with other users.

Its less cluttered and quicker to navigate.

The best part of this app is that if you have a Macbook or any other apple device such as iPad Air or Pro, you can use it with no cost at all. And it has all the features you'll find in the powerpoint.

It has more integration to other apps and between devices (you can control your slideshows on a mac using your iPhone app, either using bluetooth or Wifi.

Keynote is a great tool for students in engineering and other fields, as it helps them to create engaging and professional-looking presentations.

Student

They have templates for more visual types of presentations and also have templates for formal presentations -so there is something for everyone.

incredibly simple to make different slides, position photographs, and add details.

Head of Operations

The software is more fluid than power point and google slides in the functions of dragging text boxes and images and seems to be easier to apply than you imagine.
