ON24 VS Demio
Selecting the right webinar solution is vital for maximizing engagement, lead generation, and overall return on investment (ROI). On24 and Demio both offer webinar hosting capabilities, but they differ in their support, features, and pricing options.

However, On24 could be helpful for companies that want to live stream webinars, manage content marketing in-platform, and edit video content.

On24 Key Features
On24’s functionality is designed for enterprise-level webinars and virtual conferences, with a focus on AI content creation and management. It includes webinar features like forums, Q&A features, breakout rooms, and conversion tools. Slide decks and other handouts can be added to webinars, but they need to be in specific formats. Slide decks must be in .ppt format, and the platform lacks native support for Google Slides and Apple Pages.
Certain features, like content hubs and personalized landing pages, are only available with the Standard and Advanced packages. In addition, virtual events support is only available as a package add-on.
Interface and Usability
Demio’s interface is intuitive, uncluttered, and designed to boost engagement. All interactive elements like chat, polls, and Q&A are easily accessible, allowing hosts to seamlessly navigate features without losing context. Hosts can also upload a pre-recorded or automated presentation so they can stay in the moment during the webinar. It’s a browser-based tool that’s designed to be easy for audiences and hosts to use.
On24 is also designed for hosts and attendees to access lots of features, and is browser-based. This can also overwhelm hosts - and it’s not possible to upload your pre-recorded presentation in advance to avoid presenting in the moment. Some users find it difficult to keep up with all of the updates.
Integrations
Both Demio and On24 offer integration capabilities to connect with external tools and platforms. However, Demio provides integrations tailored specifically for webinar marketing and lead management. Connect Demio to the marketing tools you already use to make your tech stack easy and effective.
Demio integrates easily with popular marketing automation tools like HubSpot, ActiveCampaign, and Marketo as well as CRMs like Salesforce. This allows you to automatically sync webinar data like registrations, attendance, and engagement metrics directly into your workflows.
On24 has integrations with HubSpot and Salesforce, as well as Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Marketo. Also, On24 lets users connect with Eloqua and Veeva. Eloqua users have access to over 180 fields, and can take advantage of custom field mappings for attendee information synced between On24 and Eloqua.
Audience Interaction
Both platforms offer interaction tools like chat, polling, and survey features, but Demio goes above and beyond in keeping audiences engaged.
Demio lets hosts share multimedia resources like videos, PDFs, and downloadable content, even scheduling timed content drops. You can highlight featured actions to boost conversions and spotlight attendees, bringing them to the stage to participate. Demio’s AI-powered chat moderator also ensures no inquiry gets missed, even for automated, on-demand webinars.
On24 offers group chat, polls, and certifications. Room capacity varies by contract. Webinar attendees can download handouts and join breakout rooms. Some users note that the Blur Background feature isn’t as effective as its counterparts in Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
Analytics and Reporting
Data is essential. To effectively evaluate webinar performance and identify warm leads, marketers need in-depth analytics - an area where Demio shines.
Demio’s engagement reports give you insights on attendee focus times and download, poll, and CTA interactions - as well as registrations, attendance, and conversions. People-based analytics enable lead scoring and nurturing based on individual expressions of interest and intent.
On24 has reporting capabilities principally centered on webinar attendance and attendee metrics.

From presenting, adding polls and handouts, playing videos, looking at analytics, automated emails, getting an event recording, and sharing the registrations links - Demio makes all of this easy and just a few clicks away.
