BigMarker Reviews

We love the assured delivery and quality of the service! Their customer support is also always prompt, patient, and helpful.

Camera views to students may lag sometimes, but the audio remains smooth throughout. But there could be other issues with users' internet connection speed too.

Lots of features to support hosting a webinar, nice landing pages that are easy to create

Unfortunately can't trust to host live events on bigmarker as there are always connection issues that we don't have on zoom. It's too bad as the intention was to use bigmarker as our webinar platform but it's useless in that sense.

I have seen the vision directly from the [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and that is one of the reason and shelled out my money on the product a couple of years ago for the crazy good features at that point of time but now, the kind of amazing updates it has offers is next to none and the stability even without any software to download is excellent.

Pretty exhaustive set of features which might be an overkill for some.

It just works. That's why I like it. I conduct marketing events and trainings every week for three years now.

The learning curve can be a little overwhelming. BUT, once you have your setup configured, everything works flawlessly.

the reports and the great ease of use are its greatest advantages

it is complicated to add white label functionality and hybrid events

I have used many of the major platforms (WebEx, GoToMeeting/Webinar, Adobe) and many small ones (AnyMeeting and others) for corporate training, consulting meetings, client showcases, and coaching sessions. I was loving Zoom for the recording meeting and breakout functionality, then started using BigMarker as a webinar platform. Quickly I realized the platform could work for my online meetings, video conferences, webinars, leader-led training and so much more as well. BigMarker has replaced at least three other tools I was using, and saved me money in the long run.
Also, they just keep developing and providing more value! I'm amazed at all of the new features and functionality that keeps coming out. Moving to BigMarker is one of the best business decisions I've ever made.

There is so much to discover that it took me just a bit to get my head around it and start using it. I'm still not sure I've tapped in to all of the functionality. The support team and documents have helped me through though.

Easy to switch between shared screen, PDF, video, Webcam while casting.
Provides marketing features presenter dashboard.
Supports Zapier integration to automate my landbot-ConvertKit-BigMarker-SMS automation.
Good video quality with recording for attendees.
Good customer support via Intercom chat supports.

Miss-spelled auto translating language customization for landing page.
Not supports language customization for admin panel.

There are lots of free software for virtual meetings, but when lockdown first hit, we wanted to run a webinar everyweek (for 50-100 people) and also use the same software for 1-day training courses and our annual conference.
I did a lot of research on YouTube reviews about alternative solutions. At that time (March 2020) I had not heard about BigMarker, however it had great reviews.
We started with a demo, the the cheapest package up to 100 registered users and 4 hour long webinars.
Immediately we loved the ease of use, and huge range of options to create and run the webinars, especially the ability to see your preloaded slides and the audience chat at the same time.

Once we built ip the number of attendees and started using it for training we upgraded to the next package.

The best part of the software is all the marketing features, with simple invite emails and automated reminders.
Because we were advertising the webinars elsewhere we quickly grew our list and the Big Marker weekly email became our best recruitment tool.
We also extensively used the polls and offers, and have used that to drive signup of our training academy and for lead generation.
The downloadable data files have also proved very useful and I am currently writing a blog on the anicca.co uk site about what we have learned.

There are some automation features that we have not used yet, and it can also integrate with a lot of other products.

The only annoying issue is that I have to upload lists from individual webinars back up to the top level, before sending a new invite. We get about 20- 40 registrations from new users each week, so it would be helpful that these were automatically added to a list.
Similarly I would like to see a consolidated list of users and what they registered and attended. I had to manually combine data from 40 spreadsheets to get the overall picture.

BigMarker is a perfect platform for those interested in having a swiss army knife-style service, capable of hosting quick meetings, evergreen webinars, o-learning events, etc. It feels like a big league, yet it is accessible to smaller organizations. The developers have created amazing features to suit every level of business. I highly recommend this platform for those looking for serious solutions to online sales and training purposes. You can create recurring events, on-demand, live stream, and quick informal meetings. The Support team is extremely helpful.

It can take a bit of time to get everything set up and fine-tuned, because there is so much available to use in creating a professional experience. However, this is not really a con for those who really want a quality presentation platform with all the bells and whistles. Once you have your ideal setups in place, you can duplicate templates to edit new versions.

We moved away from one of the bigger webinar platforms due to the lack of flexibility with presenting sales offers. After moving to BigMarker, not only are we able to present nice pop-up offers, which was a game changer compared to just a boring link in a comments box with a competitor, but so many more features were helpful too, including polls, questions, drawing, ease of switching screens, customising pages, including where attendees go after the webinar finishes. These little touches make a big difference to engage and convert leads.

You definitely need a good internet connection. I have run a few webinars were I get prompted that the connection is not stable enough, but that could be due to my own internet. Also, you need to save presentations as a PDF and upload instead of presenting a slide deck from your computer. You get used to that, but something to be mindful of.

I've had and used BigMarker for over 4 years now, and have used it for video meetings, conducting webinars and training and using some of the recorded sessions for virtual conferences. Initial setup was easy and easy to setup and use it for recurring events. I like the customization options, and features like MeetingSpace that I can use for instant meetings with anyone by just sharing a link.

No cons at this time since I have been a long term user. When I started using it 4 years ago, it had a small learning curve for attendees, but that has been improved and people new to BigMarker can easily join and participate.

It is the best all in one webinar package I have ever used. Easy, simple and reliable on all fronts.

There is nothing I don't enjoy about BigMarker!

There are different types of webinars, including on-demand, evergreen, series, live, automated and 24-7. The options are awesome for creating different types of events for different needs and great for repurposing events to keep engaging audiences.

Because Bigmarker is so powerful, it can be a bit overwhelming and has a bit of a learning curve.
It would be good to have an "easier" mode. Maybe turn on a "basic" mode with the basic features required for people to just quickly dive in to start a webinar and to fine-tune features if required by switching back to an advanced mode.
It would be nice to have more popup info tips that show when you hover over a feature. This would be helpful just when selecting which type of webinar to run, instead of needing to click into each to read the longer description.
Would also be good to have a "save" button when creating a webinar. For example for on-demand webinars, one can return later to upload video.
Have a quick recording mode to record the camera/screen/slide for creating on-demand webinars.

BigMarker has many sales features baked in so I don't have to patch things together. The team is also making a ton of improvements on the site. Every time I come back, there's something new!

Connection can be slow and unstable where I am streaming from.

This software has the perfect marriage with HeySummit and allows me to run an evergreen summit with the amazing features of a full webinar service. I also use it for one to one meetings/coaching sessions that are recorded for the student to rewatch privately. The ease in changing cameras, screen sharing and drawing, plus playing videos is great. Adding handouts is a no brainer with reporting on how many download these a great resource.
The support from the principal of this platform who personally contacted me to ensure I had it setup correctly at a particularly personal and stressful time was humbling. Above and beyond service at that time.

COVID I'm sure has impacted some of their support. Only once a question had to be escalated to tech team - everything else was user error.

I like the ease of use and simplicity of BIgmarker, and that it is trustworthy

sometimes the sheer volume of features makes it difficult to master all that it can do

Big Marker is great for events that require multiple roles of users, seamless audience experience and a need for high impact. The software provides the host with the control needed to ensure the event goes smoothly. The registration process, landing pages and post webinar reports are invaluable. This is not videoconferencing software. It's so much more. Ideal for small organizations wanting a professional look with the price.

There are so many options that sometimes you miss a good feature!

I've used so many tools like Webinar Jam, Zoom, Gmeet among many others. This is by far the best tool i've used for automated webinar, meeting rooms, live webinar and that allows you to create a landing page, capture payments, save them into my email marketing platform.

There is nothing as such, the support is great which matters a lot as a lot of times companies have slow support but Bigmarker is a great one
