Event Booking Engines vs Planning Pod: Which is a better fit?

Good, responsive tech support by phone or email--my many questions are quickly answered. Some good customization and integration options.

Too much room for error when keying in multiple sections during the initial setup process for an event.

What is important for me is having the support I need to figure it out. This company hands down has the best support I've seen in quite some time.

In general, it can be difficult to navigate the different "silos" of EBE, between line items, proposals, event page, and so on.

The calendar is easy to use, and while I haven't used the payments/contracts features, they seem like they will be a real help when we get into the heat of our event season.

I do have difficulty finding "notes" on clients and events at a glance.

We are a small volunteer run nonprofit organization that rents out an historic wedding and event venue. We are thrilled to have transitioned from a manual reservation process to Event Booking Engines.

I'm not sure I'm using EBE in the exact way it was intended.

I like the ease of use, it is dummy proof. I like that my other professionals and cliens can also use it for certain events and I love the built in floor plan.

Flexibility of PDF reports, on-screen reports, and customization. Also the calendar sync does not work properly, which makes it useless for scheduling appointments.

I really love how everything was in a single place. If your looking for a good, reliable wedding planning software, this is the one to choose.

The budget update is terrible. Not user friendly at all and is very confusing for me and my clients to see categories and line items.

As a florist who specializes in weddings, this software actually offered more than I needed, but I would highly recommend it to any event planners in need of outstanding planning software.

It is frustrating that you can't link the invoices to the budget.

The ability to organize items into different parts for the events (invoices, contacts, contracts) yet have them all interconnected and retrievable is superb.

At times, navigating the site to get from one section to another can be a little confusing. Some of the links are in the navigation, some of the links need to be found in pull-down lists.
