### "Company Wide Dissent"

August 18, 2020

2.0

Our overall experience with Cvent has not been optimal.

Pros

I inherited Cvent. The community forums (especially the hacks) are a great resource.

Cons

One of the most disappointing aspects of Cvent was being told several years ago that we "had to switch to Flex" since Classic was being discontinued, and as of August 2020, there are many features still not available in Flex. So many features were not in play once Flex was rolled out that we put all our 150+ events back into classic. The convoluted process to do many tasks within the platform is frustrating for everyone (literally everyone) in our organization who has used it for the past six years.

Reason for choosing Cvent Event Management

While this happened before I joined the organization, according those who made the final decision, name recognition was the primary reason.

### "Easy Breezy Event Management and Registration with Cvent"

December 13, 2022

5.0

Pros

Cvent is very easy to use, it's streamlined and efficient. Using Cvent provided everything we needed - we were looking for one software to host registration, process tickets, and provide a mobile app.

Cons

Overall it was great but we ran into issues syncing the promo codes with the Salesforce intergration.

Reason for choosing Cvent Event Management

Cvent is a one stop shop and that's what appealed to us the most.

### "Non-Profit CrowdCompass Review"

May 9, 2022

5.0

Pros

The event guide (schedule/agenda) is probably the most used feature of the app by our attendees. It's great bc it links to the sessions, they can click through to see where they are on the map, and they can see the speakers and bios as well. The gamification helps us get the attendees to use the app and get engagement going. I also like the sponsorship opportunities w the splash screen and banner ad graphics. It easily integrated w CVENT so our attendees are updated in real-time.

Cons

Most features are good and useful. I do feel like the support from CrowdCompass staff could be better and more timely.

### "Cvent journey"

November 8, 2023

5.0

Pros

Cvent allows for plenty of customisation and fits plenty of needs within the same platform. We can get a lot done without too much headache.

Cons

The abstract management customisation possibilities are very limited at the moment.

### "CVent is both the most unique and innovative option for all your planning needs"

December 7, 2016

5.0

Cvent is an incredible platform that, when utilized to its fullest, is a planner's dream. It is possible that you can use it for every step of your planning process starting with venue choice, through budgeting and marketing, and ending with full reporting and broadcasting. It also has multiple platforms built into it that allow your meetings to run smoothly. These include web applications for attendees, quick registration tools, and various ways to track your progress along the way. They also provide integration with their own tools as well as some tools your company/organization may already be using. Throughout the entire process, CVent provides excellent customer support with check-ins that meet your needs/desires. If you'd like them to check in they will and they will also frequently review your account to find ways in which you can better utilize their assistance and products! If you'd rather have a hands-off approach, they're fine with that too.

Pros

I appreciate the many tools that exist within the Cvent system. It's truly remarkable that CVent can help you plan and successfully execute every moment from the first step onwards. They seem to have thought of everything!

Cons

I have found that since they are often attempting to 'do it all', the reporting options through Cvent can often be very cumbersome and leave you sifting through too many options. However, please keep in mind that, if you are lost, they will help!

### "Your one-stop shop event management platform"

November 29, 2021

5.0

Pros

This is an event planner's dream come true! It is truly your one-stop shop event management platform tool. It is a user-friendly software, allowing planners to build and manage registrations, send email, manage surveys, and run reports. Best of all, to feel at-ease knowing that you are providing a positive and seamless registration experience. Cvent has made and have continued to make enhancements in the ever-changing events industry. They are innovative and welcome customer feedback for product improvements. Their customer service are well-knowledge and have been extremely helpful whenever I ran into issues.

Cons

We have specific event and survey reporting and data needs so some of the selected fields lack the customization (this has been addressed to Cvent so hopefully they're considering it as an improvement!).

### "Cvent, Is it Worth the Money...YES!"

June 8, 2023

5.0

Overall I love working with Cvent and they always find ways to support users and incentivize!

Pros

Ease of use, customer service, and the seamless integration of all the various software options

Cons

Costs - I would need to do a comparison but it became to expensive for us. The Hub was great, but the integration (~ 2 years ago) was lacking. In a recent event I found the system to be improved

### "For real-time attendee engagement"

November 24, 2023

5.0

Tried Cvent for an event around 400-500 people in a venue along with other software, results were great.

Pros

Provides real-time view from registration to attending an event, can be managed agendas and sessions with single click, allows multiple users, even during the event and at the end it can generate reports and gives analytics.

Cons

Still lots of features can be added into the product.

### "Cvent offers multi-function backend management for event production "

October 31, 2022

5.0

Pros

This has upgraded the event registration and management experience for the events throughout the year. The functionality for different essential backend tasks has upgraded the event experience. The software allows people to see event schedule displayed and to register for events. The software offers security for online payments.

Cons

Definitely needs the person loading all the information to take the time necessary for the onboarding process and to learn the templates. Piece of advice: have as much information ready before a work session to make the utilization more effective.

Pros

I use Cvent Event Management daily. The program is easy to learn and there is also some a phone call away to assist.

There are many different products under the Cvent umbrella. Each product is an add-on and additional cost.

Cvent gave us a discount if we signed on with them.

### "Great. And thank you for continually improving. "

Pros

Easy to learn and customer support has always been available when needed. Seeing product and functionality recommendations taken seriously and implemented. It’s really great to be able to manage almost everything for an event from one platform.

Cons

Some of the website editing limitations are quite frustrating when a client wants something extremely specific.

As an internal and external events system everything is housed under the very same system. No need to have 100 other apps or systems incorporated.

### "Cvent is a complete package"

May 2, 2023

4.0

Pros

The finance section is huge - Not having to handle payments for 800+ people and issue needed refunds. Being able to send automated e-mails that pertained to each of the sessions, saves a load of time.

Cons

We have been working with the support group and they are actually teaching us to utilize the program to its fullest potential.

### "Review of Cvent platform"

August 18, 2022

4.0

We use cvent Event Management on a daily basis. We build registration websites for events and conferences ranging from 20 people to 3000+ people.

Pros

The websites are easy to set-up with their widget systems. Sites are user friendly. It's a good product for event registration.

Cons

It seems there are almost daily issues that shut down the software intermittently. It's important that the software bugs happen less frequently.

### "Best event program on the market right now. We use it for all of our companies events."

June 7, 2018

5.0

Pros

Cvent allows you to control all aspects of your event, including registration, email marketing, and billing. It even allows for integration between many CRMs. Our company uses Weblink as our CRM and it integrates perfectly together

Cons

Most of their options for events is a la carte pricing. So sometimes you may not be able to fully utilize what Cvent has to offer due to budgetary constraints.

### "Cvent is a one-stop-shop"

April 12, 2022

4.0

We are streamlining and improving efficiencies throughout our total event management. This software is helping us encompass and realize these improvements.

Pros

The Cvent software really is a one-stop-shop software. Whatever your event, Cvent will most likely work.

Cons

This software is a beast to learn. Give yourself plenty of time to do it (12 weeks before event minimum). Also, make sure you are upfront with your event needs and your salesperson is upfront with the many a-la-carte costs that are associated with more premium features. This can really be a curveball in your event planning and management.

### "Excellent"

June 4, 2018

5.0

This software gives me the ability to be organized and have everything I need in one location.

Pros

It is officiant, I have control of look, feel or the website to meeting my design needs. I have control of reporting through customization.

Cons

The session reports lack the organization. The reports for the sessions need to be relooked at as I have trouble with sessions with the same name but different dates and times (The report does not identify this). Also have the issue of peoples names coming up more then once because of the session selections.
