BH BALAZS H. system administrator Education Management ### "Firebird the free and good database server" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 February 9, 2021 Our office use a Firebird-based program, written in Delphi and it still works! :) The only problem is, that the program works only one Firebrid version, so I have to store this old installer, too. Pros Firebird is an open source sotware so you can make and program databases without paying thousands of dollars. Cons Beacuse it's free there is not professional support, only the users forum (Firebird Foundation). The worst problem is the incomatibility between versions.

Event Logistics Manager Events Services ### "Superb submission system" 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 9/10 November 20, 2019 I managed to change the way we accept presentations for our call for paper conferences by using Firebird rather than manually collecting them. This made the whole process quicker and easier for my colleagues and saved time. Pros I didn't need any formal training when using this software, I just logged in and clicked around for a while to get to know my way around and found it very easy and simple to use. Anytime I did come across something that I didn't know how to do or struggled with the live support chat was so helpful it meant that the problem was resolved quickly and I was able to carry on with what I was doing. It's great being able to customize pages so easily to get them on brand and simple for the submitter or reviewer to use. The Firebird team are great at taking on board any feedback we give and implementing where they can. Cons The Firebird team are constantly working to improve the software which is great but does sometimes mean that switches or settings are moved from where they normally are but it doesn't take long to find them.

Senior Conference Manager Events Services ### "Firebird Review" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 August 5, 2019 Overall it was a very positive experience and we wouldn't definitely revisit firebird in the future when we have a few more events that would need to use a system like this. Pros One thing that we really loved about the software was the team, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] were available whenever we needed anything and anytime we had an issue they were able to solve it and clearly show me where I was going wrong. It is a great system and is already able to do so much and by the looks of it, it is continually growing and adapting to users needs everyday. It is not rigid in its development in the way some other systems we have used have been. Cons Although a fantastic system sometime it did seem that the steps to do things were more complicated than they needed to be. This is likely because the way it was set up then allowed you to do 50 other things as well but sometimes this meant I couldn't easily see what to do and have to reach out to the team.

MH Marty H. Owner Events Services ### "Unique full-grown content review system" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 May 9, 2019 Stunning support, always on and fully involved with the customers' objectives. This made the difference in comparison with many other event tech companies I have seen. Pros The fact that it exists: not many systems can do real content review as Firebird does while keeping it simple for all involved. The system is easy-to-use for all involved in the review process and has a useful dashboard. The flexibility of it: the system was fully configured to review close to 2000 content items for 12 international events submitted by 500 different companies. Cons The interface could be more intuitive, I learned that this is underway. Automated emails to alert submitters for rework or validation would also be useful.

Owner Financial Services ### "Great Product, Great Value, Great 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 December 21, 2018 I run financial conferences in the mortgage arena and need experts to talk about different aspects of the industry. The peer review process enables me to quickly pin down exactly who I need so that I can deliver great content for my conference. Pros The system is very flexible and can meet our most complex peer review requirements. And it's backed up by a fast, friendly and professional support team who are always there to help me. It looks good and our delegates and reviewers had an easy experience. Cons Nothing really. I needed a special feature that wasn't present so they just added it in for me which was great.
