University Education Management ### "Smart, powerful and helpful System for Conferences and other events " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 April 14, 2025 Pros We used the tool for two conferences at the university and I can only recommend it for other events and we would use it again. It has been implemented very well, so that it has many functions that are still very easy to learn, even as a layman. The ConfTool team is always friendly, extremely quick to contact by email if there are any problems and very competent. We were always helped directly. We can recommend it without reservation! Cons There was no cons because we had all our function, the price was good and the service perfect!

Pros easy to setup and use, great technical support Cons I did not see any real problem. Just take time a bit to get to know the application. Reasons for choosing ConfTool more value for money. a lot of supporting review from media.

AK Alexander K. Executive Secretary Non-Profit Organization Management ### "I would choose ConfTool again!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 10, 2023 First, I was overwhelmed by the many options. Step by step, I went through the menu and performed the necessary settings. If there was something unclear, the ConfTool team answered my requests very fast. They also provide a detailed user forum with tips, tricks, and instructions. The tool never went offline or crashed. People from all around the world used the tool. Pros Excellent support by the ConfTool team. They always provided a solution. Or, using their own manifold experience, they questioned the request and sometimes suggested a different and better way. We never experienced problems with the tool. If there was a problem, it was a user problem or a problem introduced by myself (admin). Cons The large number of options. This is not necessarily a disadvantage, but one has to invest some time for the setup and think about the entire process in detail (several times). Reasons for choosing ConfTool Because of the price and the ready-to-use pre-setup of the tool by the ConfTool team.

Eamon C. Associate Professor E-Learning ### "Great product and support" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 25, 2022 Overall highly positive. We had some payment configuration issues that we debugged with the help of the vendor. They were highly responsive in this regard. Pros Very responsive support. Great tool that is feature packed and will do almost anything you want it to do. The "Related Functions" feature is a life-saver and allowed me to move around the system much more easily to find the right setting I was looking for once I figured this out. Cons User can register for the conference without paying. I know the rationale and am not sure what the answer is. Perhaps this is just the way things are. Perhaps if people wish to pay by bank transfer they could "apply to register" or something?

EP Eliane P. Researcher Civil Engineering ### "ConfTool: a complete tool for Event Management" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 29, 2021 I have used ConfTool for the first time for a Conference planned for 2020, which did not happen because of Covid-19. Instead we had a small Webinar. However, when we had to cancel the face-to-face event, all Backoffice work for a 200 Participants Conference was already done. Abstract/Paper submission, reviews, conference programme, payments, etc., all was done and we really feel Conftool was a great software to support our Conference. The only part we really did not use was the Front Desk facilities, which is available but without a face-to-face conference was not needed. I have used EasyChair before, and have no doubt ConfTool is much better in all aspects. I would like to stress again one of the best things we get with ConfTool is the support. If you have used EasyChair, you know what I am talking about, it is a very user-friendly software, but the support is really bad. Pros It has all facilities needed to organise an event, it is very complete. ConfTool Support Team is spotless! They reply very quickly and are always very helpful, it is a "real support", you never feel "alone". Cons For the first time Administrator users it might not be very "user-friendly", but after you learn how it works it becomes very manageable. And ConfTool team is always ready to answer any question and help to solve any problem. Reasons for choosing ConfTool Handle payments. Pricing. Overall features.

ServiceZentrum Forschung und Transfer Education Management ### "Good conferencing tool with top service" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 5, 2021 Pros It has everything you need to organise a conference in one tool: registration of participants, creating the programm and handling of submissions. Plus the support was really great. If there was any problem it was solved within the day. Cons The menu is a bit confusing. There are so many options. Sometimes it is unclear where to find an option one is looking for. It needs a bit of time to get used to it.

SR Sophie R. Coordinator PhD Programme Higher Education ### "ConfTool for a conference at Ernst-Abbe-University of Applied Sciences" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 July 5, 2021 The overall experience was great. Especially the technical support. We received answers to all of our questions literally within minutes. Pros You can use ConfTool for the whole process of organizing a conference starting with the Call for Papers, the attendee registration up to the review process and creating the whole programme. It is a very flexible tool that you can adapt to your event's needs. Cons As a first user of ConfTool at the beginning all the different features where a bit overwhelming. You need a while to find all the different adjusting screws.

HK Hans-Joachim K. Head of Services Research ### "Top functionality and support" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 24, 2021 Also after more than ten years of using ConfTool, we are still impressed by the functionality of this conference management tool and the provided support; the more you know about its functionality, the more fun it is to use it. Pros Numerous options for customized settings; a lot of filtering and export options; really good and very quick technical support by ConfTool team; ease to use by attendees; good paper submission and review options Cons More options for a customized design would be nice to have; integration with Scoocs (former iChair) could be better Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Professor Education Management ### "Top quality product and service" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 22, 2020 100% recommendable. This is the first time I use a similar software as a manager, but I never took into considerations other softwares since its use also as a simple reviewer is the best. Pros It does most of the things useful for the management of a conference, from papers collection to reviewing process management, from conference agenda to authors index, and a lot more. Big numbers are not an issue. Service is top notch: these guys reply in the same day (often in a couple of hours) to any request about use and customization. Cons In order to exploit all its potential, some digging in the online manual is required, and some things are not 100% intuitive.

The customer support is extraordinary. It is extremely fast, friendly, patient, helpful, competent. Also, they have a sense of humor.
