Almost everyone else. B2B marketing teams (Goldcast / ON24 / BigMarker better), organizations not on RingCentral (Zoom Events / Webex Events lower friction), or buyers prioritizing vendor history without baggage.
RingCentral-anchored organizations (200-5,000 employees) wanting an integrated virtual events module alongside RingCentral video, who understand the collapse history.
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from Hopin Events’s product card in our Top 10 Webinar & Virtual Events Software for 2026:
- ! The original $7.75B → $50M collapse story is the most material vendor-trust event in the category
- ! Original Hopin team largely no longer associated
- ! Product velocity modest under RingCentral
- ! Brand carries baggage from the collapse
- ! B2B marketing primitives below ON24 / Goldcast
- ! MAP integration depth below ON24
- ! Customer reviews reflect post-acquisition uncertainty
If Hopin Events is wrong for you, consider these instead
Same Webinar / Virtual Events category, different best-fit buyer.
