### "CVENT Integrated our Events, Communication and Association Management"

December 21, 2016

5.0

We are a multi-client firm that focuses on non-profit association management. Most association management systems have very limited event and communication platforms for the complex clients we have. We focused on getting every client on CVENT for communications and all of our events. This has been great to go into one login and system to manage all clients. We then focused on using CVENT as our association management system utilizing the members only section that can be created and tracking and managing CE's. CVENT has been great for us because everything is housed all together and the integrations are terrific. We can put our clients on CVENT whether they have a small or large budget. When looking at the cost compared to other systems the pricing was comparable, but we were impressed with the options of customer service, online resources and in-person support that are available. I truly see the advances CVENT making that it will be considered a large player in the association management system arena.

Pros

Ability to manage very simple and complex events. Integration of events, communication and association management systems. Client success manager that is assigned to your account is great to navigate best practices.

Cons

Would like to see embedded video on e-Marketing platform.

### "2016 Custom Eventgrid Platform"

June 13, 2016

4.0

Eventgrid is one of the few software solutions we found that was willing, and able to work with us on important customization for our unique business needs, and meet our budget. From RFP & requirements review to our execution phase, they've been responsive, friendly, flexible and capable. The software has important baseline features, but is pliable enough to include unique considerations for our organization's structure. The team - I can't say it enough - is willing to walk through every step with us patiently and skillfully.

Pros

Quickstart: The ease of initial setup of events, a variety of design options like easy to use templates, and ability to post events using java or iframes for turnkey event booking. Can accommodate custom color palettes and design needs within the existing framework. In depth: Eventgrid's team is willing to work on important customizations, and the platform is pliable enough to accommodate those changes. The software on it's own is good, the team makes it awesome.

Cons

Still needs some work on reports, would be interested in additional levels of automated communications to ticket holders, and some features could be more polished/nuanced.

### "I appreciate Cvent every day. "

July 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

Customer support, targeted solutions that match my needs and constant updates that respond directly to customer feedback.

Cons

The fact that for some people it's hard to use so it makes my job harder to get them to use it. Integrations have been hard for me because the customer support has not been up to the level needed.

### "Cvent Event Management is a useful tool for universities"

October 31, 2018

4.0

Pros

Cvent is the caviar of event registration systems. It is user friendly and their customer support is exceptional.

Cons

It is very expensive. You get what you pay for, but it does make it hard to use for events that don't have a cost. It also isn't intuitive all the time and often spend a lot of time with customer support.

### "CVent helps us make our events successful and has allowed us to go paperless at our conferences."

June 5, 2018

5.0

Many--too many to list! CVent helps the planning process of our events simple.

Pros

The ease of submitting payments online (both checks and credit cards); being able to copy over events and update as you go; having a separate website for each event; having access to customer support in a matter of minutes.

Cons

Searching for attendees can be tricky sometimes (people who had been registered didn't know up on our reports).

August 1, 2019

3.0

Pros

This software is great to track all sorts of information for events. Went to their user conference in July and loved meeting the geniuses of their company.

Cons

At their user conference, wish they had more indept training. I can't find anything online easily. Would recommend workshops to better understand the product.

### "I struggled with 'user friendly', at first...I've since learned to navigate and am happy with CVENT"

July 3, 2017

5.0

The ability to collect data regularly and consistently. To readily access that data. The potential to further collect data significant to our non-for-profit organization. We are far ahead in our ability to create comprehensive reports than we were prior to Cvent The ability to monitor our registration processes with the added assurance of its accuracy. The ability to collaborate with CVENT and PayPal in the events' registration payment processes

Pros

Even at the minimum defaults, the overall presentation of an event is highly professional. As a non-for-profit organization driven by data, the data this system has the potential to collect is phenomenal. The payment process and financial reporting is also easy to use and a huge timesaver. The support services are the absolute best I have experienced.

Cons

Not as intuitive as I expected Registration Types do not auto-alpha when translating from selecting registration types to posting them on the event webpage Would like more options for customizing conference sessions and collecting/reporting the registration data Would also like to see templates for non-for-profit organizations

### "CVENT"

November 9, 2018

CVENT is a leader in the industry and overall we are very happy with them. We're excited for the new Flex option.

Pros

CVENT is very robust and has a lot of offerings for event planners.

Cons

CVENT is very robust and has a lot of offerings for event planners....which can be a little overwhelming. More training opportunities would be great!

### "Innovest Loves CVENT!"

December 12, 2022

5.0

It's been amazing. I wish we had more events so we could use it more.

Pros

We love the ease of creating an event page. Having an attractive, effective registration website is the best way to promote our event and convert people into attending. It's so easy to set it up and manage!

Cons

I cannot think of a single thing. To be fair, though, we do not use half of the features. But the features we do use are great!

Reason for choosing Cvent Event Management

We heard great things and it had all the setup features we were originally lacking. It made us more efficient and professional.

ES was not easy to use and it would take us sometimes hours of digging through their options to make a change to something. I was not happy.

### "We use Cvent for all of our events. The functionality is great and they continue to add more each y"

July 10, 2018

4.0

Better view of all our events in one place

Pros

Cvent is very well known in the industry and lots of event planners have some experience in using it.

Cons

Cvent has a lot of functionality but is not always very intuitive to a new user. That being said, you can always use the chat feature or call the hotline with questions.

### "Ease of Use"

May 22, 2023

3.0

Pros

I appreciate the ease of use within Event Management. I came on as a new-hire, as our Conference registration was opening up to our members. I felt I was able to pick it up quickly and when I did need technical support, the cvent support team was quick to respond to my needs. The reports feature is very useful for collecting data before and after events.

Cons

We found that our exhibitors struggled a lot with getting themselves logged into the Exhibitor Management portal. In the days and weeks leading up to our event, we discovered duplicate profiles on multiple exhibitors within the portal. When they were prompted to log in for the first time, they were somehow allowed to create new profiles through which they would then purchase their lead retrieval licenses, when a profile already existed for them. This process should have been simpler/streamlined. It caused a major headache as we were nearing our event.

May 10, 2018

5.0

Product Management

Pros

The software is very intuitive and if I can't figure it out their customer support team is amazing - both on the phone, via chat, and email.

Cons

Using HTML to customize the look/feel of my websites. The new release is going to solve this for me. I saw a demo and will be an early adopter.

### "Cvent combines at least five separate systems and puts everything in one place. "

July 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

The look and feel of the final product adds professionalism to our events. Also, the data we can get in post event reports has been very helpful.

Cons

The platform is very big and onboarding new users can take a while. There are also fees for add ons that would be helpful to have in the basic package.

### "Saves us so much time and headache!"

October 11, 2019

5.0

I spend on average 15-30 hours a week using Cvent. It's a great tool with so many features and it's easy to use. I would recommend to anyone in the events planning industry.

Pros

I love the new website builder in Flex. It's so easy and fun to use! The reporting abilities are a life saver too.

Cons

During the transition from Classic to Flex, there were sometimes features unavailable. This was inconvenient and I wonder if Cvent should have just waited to unveil Flex when all features were available.

### "Efficient Product to use"

August 22, 2018

5.0

\-Customer Retention as it's an easy tool for their clients to use

Pros

\-Efficiency, I can duplicate an event which cuts my overall time, enabling me to create more events -Not having to create multiple site for one event because it has different registration types with different air and hotel dates. This platform has registration paths and advanced rules to fix that. -Numerous templates to choose from when designing an event -Helpful customer service representatives, always willing to assist -Excited about Flex coming out, which will have the drag and drop

Cons

\-Cannot update all registration pages at once like the registration questions for different types of registration paths -For events with roommates with different registration types I cannot have some fill out their roommates name and others select from a drop down, I have to do either or.

### "Cvent"

June 21, 2021

5.0

Pros

I enjoy that cvent is constantly looking at ways to improve its software. They do not change the main navigation bars too often, when they do they inform you about the changes and you can go back to the original for some time until you get used to the new look.

Cons

Too many ways to do one task! When explaining how to do something my coworker and I go around as we both do things differently so it's entertaining to teach someone else how to use it.

### "A Must for Event Planners"

January 28, 2022

Since using cvent as our main platform, not only have our events grown in size, but people enjoy attending more bc the registration process onsite and offsite could not be smoother or easier.

Pros

All data is organized, updated, stored on one platform. Customer Service is amazing, and there are so many oppurtunities to learn and connect with others thru Cvent Community.

Cons

Honestly, this is a very hard one, I will say i wish they offered more features for attendee registration but they are growing and expanding and are very responsive and proactive with finding work around customized to your needs.

March 11, 2020

The staff is helpful and Cvent community and trainings are awesome! I have learned so much by watching the webinars and reading articles on Cvent community.

Pros

Clear setting choices and love the classic registration. My team is moving to flex and I am sad to see it go.

Cons

It is hard to know where you should be making the changes to get the result that you want. Flex is very confusing, even though everyone was saying that it is great. A very hard transition for my team and I.
