It's simple, easy-to-use interface with many customizable options makes it one of my favorite platforms for webinars or live events! I have yet to find any downsides about using this platform other than cost (it can be expensive). If you are looking into hosting an event then look no further - we used proboards as our main host during two separate conferences in 2018 which went incredibly well. We did not do much marketing prior to each conference but word got around quickly once they were over so all credit goes there. The biggest benefit was having more control and customization while still maintaining quality content.
