Zoom or GoToMeeting for Webinars?

My company is looking to integrate with a webinar service, and we are looking at either Zoom or GoToMeeting. What are the pros and cons do you find for both services?

We haven't used Zoom for webinars, but have been using GoToMeeting/GoToWebinar for some time. Here's what we like and don't like:

Pros

  • Easy program set-up - We connect each Marketo program to GoToWebinar by selecting the webinar from within the Marketo UI
  • Fast integration - Registration data gets passed to GTW quickly, with registrants receiving their confirmation email within a minute or two (we still send the confirmation emails from GTW)
  • Easy attendee tracking - Attendee/no show data automatically gets pushed back into Marketo. We've automated the follow-up process to webinars using tokens and triggered emails, so we don't have to touch anything after a webinar is over.

Cons

  • The integration has had some sketchy periods - it seems like at least once a year there's an inexplicable error in the integration for a large portion of customers.
  • Registration errors - Beyond the larger integration failures that customers experience, we periodically have to reconnect our GTW integrations (we have several accounts) from within Marketo. I've gotten into a habit of checking a daily error report to make sure we stay on track.

Hopefully someone else can speak to Zoom
