"Great tool for event organizers and attendees alike."
4/5
What do you like best about Goldcast?

As a marketer, the platform creates a sleek, branded experience that helps us control the attendee experience. It's generally pretty easy to understand as a presenter, though takes some getting used to. I am excited about the possibilities with the AI content lab to repurpose content.

What do you dislike about Goldcast?

The semi-recent UI/UX update was a drastic shift from the previous layout. It is still taking some time getting used to where things are located and can get frustrating when things are not in an intuitive place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bravo, Goldcast!"
5/5
What do you like best about Goldcast?

Goldcast customer support can't be beat. I have experience with two of their top competitors. Neither competitor came close to Goldcast's level of customer support from onboarding to Goldcast to day-of-event support. Overall, we were very happy with the customization capabilities of the platform. The platform features that were key for us were auto redirections, accessibility features like CCs and subtitles, and ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Goldcast?

As an event organizer, there's not much to dislike about this platform. With any product requests that could come to mind, they were already well-underway on Goldcast's product roadmap (which they openly share!) They're rolling out hybrid features which is especially exciting for us as we go back to in-person but won't leave virtual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Most engaging platform I’ve experienced!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Goldcast?

Goldcast makes webinars fun again! I never feel bored or distracted by other things when attending events hosted on the Goldcast platform thanks to features like 1:1 messaging and video calls, being auto-redirected along the agenda without having to click in and out of sessions, and embedded apps like Pac Man that can be played without losing view of the main stage. Plus, I appreciate accessibility features like closed captions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Goldcast?

I’m excited for Goldcast to launch their new Series product in late Q3 as our team will certainly make use of this upcoming feature. Will be so nice to be able to have a subscribe option for educational webinar series to make it easy for the event producer and attendees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AI Content Lab is superb for post event repurposing"
5/5
What do you like best about Goldcast?

Our team has been using Goldcast for 2 years now for our developer events. Very happy with the experience both from a user and attendee standpoint. The post event feedback from our developers has been very positive and our community across the globe likes the translations/captioning/accessibility features that Goldcast has to offer. But their recent launch on AI content lab has really stepped up our post event content generation - the process usually takes 3-4 weeks, now it takes less than an hour to create social clips and post event takeaways for our social and content teams Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Goldcast?

Goldcast is rapidly innovating and has been a big upgrade from our previous experience. Nothing so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and customizable!"
5/5
What do you like best about Goldcast?

Goldcast is easy to use and customize for whatever webinar/virtual event you host.

I particularly love the backstage area that lets our speakers convene and test their microphones before they hop on stage. I also love being able to customize how the attendees engage with our speakers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Goldcast?

Because Goldcast provides abundant setting options, it can get confusing trying to set up your webinar/virtual event. There is a bit of a learning curve, and sometimes it will be helpful to get a quick tips or refresh video. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use & better than most - but still room for growth"
4/5
What do you like best about Goldcast?

Goldcast is easy for everyone to use - administrators, speakers, and attendees. It can be fully branded with just a few clicks and a style guide.

I also like how simple it is to air something simulive. It takes a lot of stress off of me when I know it will start on time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Goldcast?

I feel like my CSM is very disengaged with my account. I don't necessarily need the support, but I don't feel I will get any better support by going directly to them with my needs instead of the support team. I anticipate that the most I will hear from them is when it's time for renewal.

I reuse the same branding for most webinars but can't create an actual template to copy. So I'm duplicating past events, which increases the potential for error if I miss something that was specific for the previous webinar.

Some of the most simple reporting (like attendance status for all registrants) doesn't exist, so it can be tough to find the root of a problem with an integration.

If you air something simulive, the recording has to be done through another platform or recorded in Goldcast as a live webinar, which means someone can register for it if they find the reg page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best event registration, event management, and webinar platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Goldcast?

The most helpful thing about Goldcast is that it's great for customizing and live streaming virtual events and webinars very easily. It has simulative broadcasting benefits and is very easy to use. I really like the nice UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Goldcast?

I haven't found anything bad to comment on yet. It has always been helpful for me. There are no downsides to this platform. However, the event integration feels a bit lopsided to me at times, and it would be nice to be able to template the events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Run more webinars with a turnkey virtual event strategy"
5/5
What do you like best about Goldcast?

Everything is plug n play. I know the 10ish pieces of information, creative assets, and copy that I need to run an event through Goldcast. As a small team, we're able to run virtual events on a regular basis with minimal time investment, because we know exactly what we need to do and can do it quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Goldcast?

When you duplicate events (best way to do it), just make sure you have a personal checklist of everything that you need to change, so that you don't accidentally leave in anything from the old event Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

""The best virtual event platform is Goldcast.""
5/5
What do you like best about Goldcast?

This platform is much easier to use than other platforms, so I like it a lot. This platform is improving day by day by updating its features, and this platform has many roles to manage all phases of events. Any kind of problem I can solve through live chat with the help of this platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Goldcast?

I haven't had any issues with Goldcast yet. But it would have been better if some minor issues were resolved. Salesforce integration should avoid being one-way, and the ability to template events would be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
