Introduction and Methodology
In December 2015, Hanover Research designed and administered a survey on behalf of ON24, with the goal to understand ON24’s target users’ opinions regarding marketing technology platforms and webinar software. Specifically, ON24 is interested in the criteria and sources that marketers use to evaluate marketing technology and webinar solutions. In addition, users were asked about the key issues they face when searching for, learning how to use, and integrating marketing technology and webinar solutions.
After data cleaning, Hanover Research analyzed 367 complete responses from ON24 target users.
The following report presents aggregate and segmented results. – Segmented results are presented when statistically significant differences between segments exist at
the 95% confidence level. – Statistically significant differences between segments are noted with an asterisk next to the
corresponding data labels.

Executive Summary
Many marketers feel overwhelmed with the number of marketing technology platforms on the market today. While they see value in ensuring technology solutions are
integrated into their marketing function, more would rather learn how to utilize the platform they already have versus purchase a new one [that might better meet their
needs]. Marketers are looking for a reliable, easy to use marketing technology platform that can help them demonstrate its ROI within the company.
Marketers equally prefer both a higher cost, full-service webinar platform and a
more affordable DIY solution. Marketers tend to focus on the benefits specialized webinar platforms can bring to attendees, such as easy access and providing an
engaging experience.

Key Findings – Marketing Technology Platforms
Marketing technology platforms tend to be selected by multiple individuals within a company. Just 7% of marketers are their company’s sole platform decision-maker. Almost half of the sole decision-makers are Chief Marketing Officers.
The majority of marketers see the value in integrating marketing technology into their team’s work. However, over half of marketers are more concerned with utilizing their current platforms rather than finding new marketing technologies. Almost half of marketers feel overwhelmed by the number of marketing technology platforms in the marketplace.
Reliability, ease of use, and return on investment are the primary attributes marketers look for when selecting a marketing technology platform. Marketers are less likely to consider platforms with a high level of sophistication when deciding which marketing technology platforms is right for their company.
Benefits to the attendees, such as easy access and providing an engaging experience, are the top benefits marketers find for using specialized webinar software. The ability to identify leads is considered more of a benefit to marketers who prefer a full-service webinar solution compared to those who prefer a DIY solution.
Webinar solutions are the third most common type of marketing technology platform, and are used by 45% of marketers. CRM solutions are the most common marketing technology platform, followed by web conferencing.
7
Key Findings – Webinar Software Many marketers feel that their needs are being met by their current webinar software provider.
Four out of ten marketers cannot identify any improvements that would increase satisfaction with their current provider.
Few marketers (only 7%) describe their current webinar solution as fully integrated into their business. Among those whose webinar solution is not integrated, 20% consider integration too complex.
When implementing webinar software marketers are most likely to worry most about measuring marketing program impact. Return on investment is also one of the most common attributes marketers look for when selecting a marketing technology platform.
Marketers tend to conduct webinars primarily in order to demonstrate thought leadership and connect with new leads. Marketers with highly integrated marketing platforms are most likely to use webinars to find sales-ready leads.
Over half of marketers who conduct webinars hold them relatively frequently (between once every 2-3 months to 2-3 times a month). Marketers who conduct webinars more than once per month are most likely to value a scalable marketing technology platforms.
