Managing Director Hospitality Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cvent is your secret weapon" March 13, 2026 5.0 Overall, I am completely pleased with the entire platform. I have multiple programs with multiple clients and everyone can use the platform with ease. It gives me the added layer of confidence I need to manage multiple programs at once!. Pros Cvent remains a completely trusted brand that has updated features to aid my venue sourcing and complete event management. I find the platform to be completely user friendly and have no trouble navigating the software. Cons I have been a long time user of Cvent and it remains the gold standard. NO cons and has updated features making it even more helpful and relevant! Review Source Maxwell P. General Manager Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Heavy Lifter That Makes Complex Events Look Easy" December 9, 2025 5.0 Cvent is the gold standard for a reason. It transformed how we handle our major conferences. It gives me the confidence that nothing will slip through the cracks. Once you get past the initial training phase, it becomes an indispensable tool. It handles the chaos of event planning with structure and reliability that I have not found in other platforms. For anyone running large scale events, this is the engine you want running the show. Pros Cvent is a beast in the best way possible. I love the sheer depth of the platform. The registration features are incredibly customizable, allowing us to handle complicated attendee tracks without breaking a sweat. The OnArrival tool for check in is smooth and makes the first impression on attendees very professional. I also rely heavily on the reporting tools which give me granular data on everything from ticket sales to session attendance. It puts everything I need in one central hub so I do not have to juggle multiple spreadsheets. Cons Because it does so much, the learning curve is steep. It took me a while to really feel comfortable navigating the backend without second guessing myself. The interface in some areas feels a bit clunky and could use a modern refresh to match newer competitors. It is also a significant investment, so it might be overkill for smaller organizations just running simple meetups. Customer support is generally good but getting to the right person can sometimes take longer than I would prefer. Review Source NK Nikita K. Associate- Business System Admin Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cvent - Great solution for modern event management!" February 16, 2026 4.0 Overall, Cvent delivers end-to-end event management with strong governance and analytics, particularly suited for organizations running recurring, complex events. Value is maximized when teams invest in upfront templates, clear processes, and integration testing. Pros End to End workflow integration, configurable registration & forms is something that we use on daily basis for the event customization & Cvent really is advanced to accommodate our needs. Reporting & analytics is something we rely on for our numbers & for planning strategies Cons Since its robust, it is complex & sometimes requires lot of investment of time to understand certain features Review Source Damla E. Senior Manager events and partnerships Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "great platform" May 18, 2026 5.0 really good definitely recommend it especially the badge printing on arrival features are great saves us time Pros still going really well helping us to run events internationally support is great and appreciate it much Cons setting up one umbrella site for all event tickets is challenging but we are working on it with the help the support team Switched from [Gripp](https://www.capterra.com/p/205636/Gripp/) We wanted a more reliable, professional platform that could handle registrations, communications, and reporting all in one place. Cvent offered the structure, functionality, and support we needed to manage events more efficiently and deliver a better experience for attendees. Review Source DM David M. Director Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "What I Know about Cvent Event Management " September 5, 2025 5.0 Cvent Event Management enhances smooth event registration and execution through customizable registration forms and live reporting capabilities. Pros There is nothing challenging than carrying out event planning and execution manually. That is why on my part I use Cvent Event Management to automate the entire process of event management from registration, venue selection to execution. Cons I am able to achieve my event management desires with the help of Cvent Event Management which pose no issue. Review Source WG Wilmer G. Client Services Executive Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Powerful Platform with a Learning Curve Worth Climbing" August 4, 2025 5.0 Pros What I liked most about Cvent Event Management is how it centralized and automated every step of the event planning process. From registration and agenda building to email communications and reporting, everything was streamlined in one platform. The customizable registration forms and workflows saved us hours of manual work, and the ability to track real-time data gave us better control over attendee engagement and event performance. It made planning large-scale events feel far more manageable and efficient. Cons What I liked least about Cvent Event Management is the learning curve when first getting started. The platform is incredibly robust, which is great long-term, but it can feel overwhelming at first, especially for users who are new to event tech. Some features and settings aren't always intuitive and require training or support to fully understand. That said, once you get familiar with the system (and take advantage of Cvent’s support resources and knowledge base), it becomes a powerful tool that’s well worth the investment of time upfront.

Team Coordinator Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cvent Event Management 2025 Review" August 21, 2025 5.0 Pros Cvent Event Management allows me to plan and execute hybrid, in-person and virtual events. I also like that Cvent Event Management offers email marketing tools unlike alternatives. Cons Since I implemented Cvent Event Management in 2020, I have never encountered issues while registering, planning and executing events. Review Source NG Nicole G. SMMS Operator Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Cvent Experience" September 11, 2025 5.0 Ive been using Cvent for over 10 years now, and it has definitely grown and enhanced alot over the years. I think its great that they have so many new integrations now which gives lots of options for different groups / users. I would like to see the Product Development requests prioritized though if its something that is a big pain point (budget functionality, or Reporting). Pros It is an all-encompassing tool / platform that has the most indepth features. We have looked at numerous other platforms to always compare and ensure that we are getting the best value for money - and this user interface always seems to be the most robust! Cons I think that there is too much emphasis on the "look" of things, rather than the functionality of things. Some features are available but not fully updated / meet the performance levels as they used to be before they were "updated", so it makes it hard to have a consistent structure and process. For Training, we have to re-teach it often, but not because the tool has developed but more so how to find the buttons has changed. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Field Marketing Specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cvent Event Management Review" August 1, 2025 5.0 I really do think it is a great tool and it makes it super easy to keep track of registrations all in one place Pros It is a total game-changer for event planning! This platform makes it super easy to create landing pages for our events.The on arrival feature is a total lifesaver. Being able to check in attendees and print badges on the spot really levels up the whole experience for everyone involved. Plus, it's super handy for keeping track of who's actually shown up. Cons I wish the site designer was a little easier to use, as sometimes it is hard to move things around and can be a bit clunky.

Cons Cvent still has its limitations. For instance, some of its functionalities are still a bit clunky from a user perspective. Alternatives considered [ON24](https://www.capterra.com/p/158766/ON24/) Reason for choosing Cvent Event Management We felt that it was more value for our budget. Review Source SE Sam E. Event Coordinator Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cvent Connect Event" October 16, 2025 5.0 Cvent event management is great overall. Having been to the Cvent Connect event, I've realised that I haven't been utilizing it to its full potential. Cvent always seems to be evolving, potentially more frequent catch ups with the customer success teams to run through product rollouts could be good to keep up to date. Pros Cvent management is a great tool that incorporates aspects of many different tools into one. There are a lot of different options for creativity and personalisation Cons Sometimes it can be tricky to navigate the website manager in terms of different languages for the same site.

Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "CVent Overall Review" June 9, 2025 5.0 I like the software and sometime user friendly. Sometime with the saved modification it take some time updating on the website. Pros It is simple to set up and it is easier if the event or session is in optional selection to do easy modification. Cons It can sometime be difficult to modify and update. I sometime get confused between certain set up like the session and agenda. Review Source Chris J. Registration and Technology Manager Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cvent ROCKS" April 30, 2025 5.0 I like Cvent, very user friendly and easy to figure things out if I don't have previous experience in it. Pros I use Cvent daily for my job, I mostly use it for attendee management and reporting. I love the new custom reports and registration dashboard. Cons N/A - Cvent gets better each year. I wish the reporting wasn't so siloed into the various categories because sometimes I need fields that aren't available on that particular report, so I end up using Registration Details or Invitee Details report to essentially create my own report.

From the RFP process to the Post Event Surveys. Pros CVENT allows us as a company to feature one registration site where we can manage attendees, payments, waitlists and RFP venues for our events all within one program.
