Who Should Choose What?

→ Choose ON24 if:

You're an enterprise B2B marketing team running demand generation webinars and need to demonstrate pipeline attribution and ROI. You need deep integration with Salesforce or Marketo for lead scoring from webinar engagement. You want a content hub alongside webinars. Your marketing budget is significant and you need to justify webinar spend with revenue data.

→ Choose Webex Webinars if:

You need to reach 10,000-100,000 attendees reliably. You're in a Cisco-heavy enterprise environment where Webex integration simplifies procurement and security review. You run internal all-hands, training sessions, or large external conferences. Your primary need is reliable video infrastructure at scale, not marketing analytics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ON24's Digital Experience Platform?
ON24 has evolved beyond webinars into a Digital Experience Platform (DEP) that includes webinars, virtual events, content hubs, and always-on digital experiences. The platform tracks every attendee interaction — how long they watched, which polls they answered, which resources they downloaded, and when they left — and sends this data to CRM/marketing automation tools to update lead scores and trigger follow-up campaigns. This engagement intelligence is the key differentiator from basic webinar tools.
Can Webex Webinars handle 50,000 concurrent viewers?
Yes — Webex Webinars is one of the few platforms rated for 100,000 concurrent attendees, making it suitable for massive virtual conferences, earnings calls, and global all-hands meetings. The infrastructure is backed by Cisco's global network, which provides reliability for high-stakes events. For events of 10,000+ attendees, you need to contact Cisco for capacity planning and technical support. Webex Webinars is one of the most reliable choices for truly large-scale events.

Editor's Take

My team tested both On24 and Webex Webinars for a month each. The surprising winner? It came down to one thing — customer support. When things broke (and they always do), the tool with better support won.
