Choosing what webinar platform?

    Hi everyone,
    My company is planning to hold webinar for our partners, but we have some questions about choosing video hosting solutions for our webinars.
    We are considering Gotowebinar which is famous and adopted by many people.
    It's quite convenient and cost-efficient for us, and seems accepted by many users. However, we want to keep our webinars as videos on-demand for our audience after the activity finishes. But Gotowebinar doesn't allow people to watch video recordings on their platform. We have to upload the video to other platform like YouTube.

    We are still considering another platform. Its name is Gridow.
    It is developed by a Taiwan company. It actually provides all the functions we need, including doing webinar or other live program, and we can make our programs as videos on-demand for our audiences. It looks like this
    http://ent.gridow.com/ges/DesktopModules/xPress2/UI/GuestLaunch.aspx?confid=ad208a64-14b2-486b-b2b7-f7f9e7ccf0ce&portalname=h3platform&tabid=9401&mode=comment&autostart=1.
    Would you think it is useful to provide double screens for audiences?

    Could anybody give us any suggestion about which one to choose or share me experiences on this issue? Or you have other better solutions?

    Thanks

    We are using StealthSeminar, it is pretty good for us and stable. I've never tried GoToWebinar but that is very popular.

    I've been on some GoToWebinar meeting, and they're pretty good. Not sure how it would work on the other end though. I wasn't the moderator. Still, GoToWebinar is owned by GoToMeeting, and they have been around for years.

    Hi. I just been on a twitter webinar hosted on http://www.omnovia.com/. The platform got a space for questions and the other side you can see the sliders while hearing the moderator talk. They told us we'll get the url for the webinar video, so I guess it's not on the platform but on some 3rdparty place, maybe Youtube. Do you guys know if any of those platforms are free? I do youtube tutorials and would love to try to impart a webinar, but right now don't have the cash for testing.

    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you all for replying.
    We will give a trial on StealthSeminar and omNovia. Some other also suggested WebEX for us.

    BTW, I think Gridow is somehow an interesting platform.
    It's quite unique and convenient for doing training or demo. As this video trying to show the product and the slide.

    .

    How do you guys think about this unique interface?
