Pros

The flexibility of this software is quite amazing. There are so many options that save time for the user. Features also make your event customizable that other softwares systems don’t do. The customer service was exceptional. I’ve never had an online company so responsive and attentive to my needs even at night.

Cons

Time zone difference. I wasn’t able to change the time zones which caused confusion to my attendees when they say their tickets. A country was listed that wasn’t US

Pros

We started using Explara as a ticketing platform for our events in May 2018. We integrated it in our website and since then have been using it daily. As we are an events company, we needed a software that could easily help us manage our event ticketing and explara has been a good choice. When we started events in Singapore last year, we were not sure how to go about with the ticketing. But with the Explara team's support and guidance, we were able to manage that smoothly. The ease of creating discount coupons, codes etc is good. Basically it has everything which an events company needs and one gets it without having to code it themselves.

Cons

There are many good things about this software. But certain things need a little improvement. 1. The payout invoices we receive need to be more detailed. Since we are only 2 people managing all the events, it gets difficult to visit the dashboard each time to check the payout for each event. If along with payout structure that we receive, we would get information about what event tickets we have received a payout for, it will be very helpful. 2. The formatting of the event description can be made better.

Reasons for choosing Explara

We trust that as we know the founder and also a lot of people from the HelloMeets community recommended it. So word of mouth played a role in our case. Secondly it was cheaper than the rest.

Pros

The best part which we liked about them is the promptness in their customer support and willingness to improve/customise the platform as per customer’s demand which really helped us to make our operations smooth

Cons

I would say to build more on your event manager app to make on-site check-ins, goodies distribution easy which is not good at all as of now. I would also recommend Explara to start e-certificate services.
