Web Coordinator Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It's Powerful! But I don't look forward to working in it." March 7, 2018 4.0 You can do nearly anything imaginable with this calendaring software. I really like that people can submit their own events for me to review before publishing, which saves me SO much time. Pros It has SO many features, you will likely be able to do anything you want to do with a calendar. That's what my organization uses it for. You can set up a form for people to submit events, but have those submitted events go to calendars for review (not on your website) and then you can move them to actual calendars on your website. That saves time and is a very convenient feature! There are lots of spuds available, and they are very reliable. Cons It is not very user-friendly in my opinion. I have a rockstar expert of Trumba on my team, and he explains things to the rest of my team in very straightforward and a clear manner. When he explains, it makes sense and you wonder why you didn't think to check a specific place for a setting or why you haven't been using a specific process from the beginning. But then you get into Trumba and...you get that horrible user interface. If you are not using this every day, be prepared to re-learn how to do things in here for the rest of your life. That said, again, this is a powerful and effective program with many features. It's just frustrating sometimes. :/ Review Source Response from Trumba March 17, 2021 Good feedback Brittany. We took it to heart. We've just re-written the Trumba administrative UI. The feedback so far has been very positive.

Senior Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best in the business!" February 13, 2026 5.0 Great people, great software, and a pleasure to use. Great integration tools to embed into our website as well. Pros Best calendaring system I've ever used - everything just makes sense, flows great, and has all the customization options you want. Cons Getting your admin dashboard to line up the way you want to can be frustrating - limited time ranges for viewing events at a glance, figuring out how to navigate between list and calendar view, etc. Alternatives considered [Google Calendar](https://www.capterra.com/p/213340/Google-Calendar/) Reason for choosing Trumba More integration, better tools, all-in-one-system. Review Source JM Josh M. Website Admin Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Incredibly powerful calendaring system for large org's IF you don't mind it's rough UI/UX" June 5, 2024 3.0 Once it's setup it's very reliable and for the most part if you don't have to be the admin it's actually quite a good system that can be deployed on almost anything. I work in government so I work with antiquated and dated interfaces all the time and Trumba's backend is definitely dated and quite difficult to customize. Feels like a programer was also the designer of the UI. Pros The fact that you can tailor it to almost any calendaring related need. Integrates into pretty much any website that you have HTML source access so it's wonderfully platform/environment agonistic. Cons Backend / Admin interface is a study in what not to do. I always feel like I'm guessing / searching for what I'm looking for. I read the help docs alot, pretty much everytime I do any customization to the config because nothing is intuitive. Everything feels like it's multiple menu's/pages away from what I need and often needs to be changed in multiple changes. Review Source Response from Trumba June 17, 2024 Hi Josh, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed review. We are sorry to hear that some of Trumba’s settings were difficult to find. Trumba is highly customizable so it can take a bit of time to understand where all the settings are, especially with a large implementation such as yours. In the future, if you have any difficulty locating a setting, please let us know and we can provide detailed instructions or make the update on your behalf. Thank you, Trumba Support Team FV Frank V. Events and AV Coordinator Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Rock-Solid Event Management Platform for Higher Education" January 5, 2026 5.0 Our experience with Trumba has been overwhelmingly positive. It has become a backbone tool for event planning and scheduling at our institution. The platform promotes consistency, accountability, and clarity, which are essential in a fast-paced higher-education environment. Trumba helps our events run more smoothly by ensuring accurate information, proper lead times, and alignment across teams. It’s a professional-grade solution that scales well and supports both small internal meetings and large, complex events with confidence. Pros Trumba is an absolutely stellar event management platform. At Pepperdine Caruso School of Law, we rely on it daily to manage a high volume of academic, administrative, and public-facing events, and it consistently delivers. The calendar functionality is intuitive, reliable, and incredibly flexible, making it easy to visualize availability, avoid conflicts, and plan well in advance. The request and approval workflow keeps everything organized and transparent, which is critical when coordinating across multiple departments and stakeholders. Trumba also integrates seamlessly with our website and internal processes, saving time and reducing back-and-forth communication. Cons While Trumba is very powerful, there is a learning curve for new users, especially those unfamiliar with structured event management systems. That said, once users are trained, the system works extremely well and the structure becomes a strength rather than a limitation. Review Source Response from Trumba January 7, 2026 Dear Frank, Thank you so much for sharing your review. We're glad you're able to rely on Trumba, and happy to hear you think our platform promotes consistency, accountability, and clarity. You made our day! -The Trumba Team KR Kristin R. Web Content Specialist Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Product" June 18, 2024 4.0 Excellent customer services. Quick responses to emailed questions. Trumba Connect has simplified the work I do. Our old events system required numerous clicks to publish a single event. Now I can preview the event and publish it in one click. Pros The onboarding process was made easy thanks to a Trumba representative walking through the set-up and answering a variety of questions that led to using Trumba in a more comprehensive way. Cons The back-end still takes a lot of getting used to. It's not always clear what certain fields mean or how they might appear on the front-end. Reason for choosing Trumba Most event products were built for single conferences to post agendas, offer registration ticketing options, etc. In addition to this, we needed a means to promote all the various types of events taking place on our college campuses. Switched from [Cascade Strategy](https://www.capterra.com/p/148008/Cascade-Strategy/) Needed a faster, easier means to publish and promote events. Review Source Response from Trumba June 28, 2024 Hi Kristin, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. We're glad you think Trumba is an excellent product, and our Support Manager is so helpful to you (we think he's pretty great too!). It's also wonderful to hear that Trumba has simplified the work you do. Thank you again for your review, Trumba Support Team AEP Angel Eduardo P. Program Administrator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool for event planning" January 9, 2026 5.0 Overall, easy to navigate and user friendly. I just follow the prompts/fields, review and post. SO convenient being able to duplicate events, since all our events are similar, but held at different locations. I just have to update the address and title each time. Pros So easy creating calendar events and duplicating them. I Also like that I can filter for my department's events only. We have other community programs that post their events through our account as well. Cons When I try to search through my events using the search bar, using key words from my events doesn't always produce a result. Review Source Response from Trumba January 13, 2026 Hi Angel, We appreciate your review (and the five stars!) so much. It's great to hear it's so easy for you to create and duplicate calendar events. Thank you for your business, -The Trumba Team NM Natalie M. Ambassador Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Use TRUMBA!" March 3, 2026 5.0 I overall have had a great experience with trumba and its functions. I never really have issues with it and it helps create great engagement for my community. Pros I really like how easy trumba is to use. I can very clearly see what I am looking for and it makes it super easy to sign up for volunteer opportunity Cons My only complaint with trumba is having to put my email in over and over again. When I am signing up for multiple things at once I hate having to put my email in several times Review Source Response from Trumba March 6, 2026 Thank you Natalie! We truly appreciate your sharing your positive feedback and are glad it's created great engagement for your community. Also, thank you for bringing your "con" to our attention. We value client feedback pro or con. It fuels our future product roadmap so that we continue to help you deliver event calendar success. Thanks again, The Trumba Team YB Yvanne B. Risk Management Specialist Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great product, would recommend!" February 11, 2026 4.0 I love the copy event feature. Saves a lot of time re-entering the same information. I use it a lot for training registration tracking purposes. Pros Trumba is user-friendly, intuitive, and makes event scheduling and sharing quick and efficient daily Cons Not as customizable as preferred, but it reliably meets our needs and performs its core functions well. Review Source SN Stacy N. Proctor Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use" January 7, 2026 4.0 Once the basic template was set up Trumba was very easy to learn. Setting up and managing events is so quick and easy. I love being able to export the report to Excel and alter the spreadsheet as needed. Pros It is easy to set up and manage events. Exporting reports to Excel for a single event or multiple events is extremely easy. Cons We have not had any difficulties with Trumba. We only do one type of event so once our IT department set up the form template we were set. Review Source Response from Trumba January 8, 2026 Thank you Stacy, We appreciate your review, and are glad to hear that setting up and managing events is so quick and easy for you. Music to our ears—thank you for sharing! —Trumba Team SR Sam R. Residency Program Administrator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Trumba Review" March 5, 2026 5.0 Great! The minor drawback is easily outweighed by the functionality and ease of use. I would highly recommend! Pros Trumba was very easy to use for calendar management. Setting up and managing events is very simple and easy to share among my team and organization. Cons I wish there were more customization options, but otherwise the product has been overwhelmingly positive. Review Source Response from Trumba March 6, 2026 Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. Your recommendation means so much to us. -The Trumba Team KB Katie B. Communications Senior Executive Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This software saves us time and I think it is great value for money." June 6, 2024 5.0 Great. I see another university in Ireland is now using it as well so word is getting around! Pros The quick response from \[sensitive content hidden\] is a big thing- that is a great peace of mind. University IT departments are so hesitant to allow other software on board but when they know they don't have to support it they are more likely to give the go-ahead. It is also really easy to use - the staff and students are all happy with it. Cons I have to write something so I suppose I'll say it has been really challenging to integrate it in our new CMS. I do not think this is a Trumba issue however I think it has been more to do with our CMS ops. Reason for choosing Trumba It was the mid-range price point plus the fact it just did the things we needed it to do without too much excess. Review Source Response from Trumba June 28, 2024 Hi Katie, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that Trumba saves you time and that Trumba Support gives you great piece of mind. We appreciate your letting us know that you, the staff and students are happy with Trumba. Thank you for choosing Trumba, Trumba Support Team mR maria R. digital data manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Trumba is easy to use and has potential " June 18, 2024 5.0 Pros Customer support is efficient and friendly. Cons We cannot find our events on Google or Facebook and do not have a schema. Alternatives considered [Eventbrite](https://www.capterra.com/p/114949/Eventbrite/)[Google Calendar](https://www.capterra.com/p/213340/Google-Calendar/) Reason for choosing Trumba The ability to control the payment portals for more than one different calendar. Review Source Response from Trumba June 28, 2024 Hi Maria, Thank you for your review. We have verified that most of your events are available in Google search results and do include Event Schema metadata. Calendars that are marked “not searchable” within Trumba are not available in Google. If you'd like to have those calendars indexed by Google, you can mark them as searchable in your Publish Settings. Again, thank you so much for sharing your feedback.

Director of Web Strategy and Development Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Can't go wrong" July 10, 2024 5.0 Trumba is BY FAR the best vendor I have ever worked with. I recommend them to anyone looking for services like theirs. Pros We evaluated Trumba against several other vendors and Trumba won out in every way possible. The ease of implementation, configuration, management and administration is second to none. Also the customer service is absolutely the best. I get prompt responses from my contact that not only have the information I asked for, but also all the information I should have asked for and didn't. They anticipate needs and issues and are ready for them before you are. Cons I honestly don't have much to say here. Customizing the styling takes a little bit of time, but it was like that for every vendor I evaluated. Review Source Response from Trumba July 16, 2024 Thank you Sean, You've truly made our day today! We're so glad that you find Trumba so helpful and our customer service to be the best. Again, thank you so much for sharing your review and for recommending us to others. -Trumba Support Team LM Liam M. Instructional Technology Assistant Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Tight Integration Across the Division" June 10, 2024 4.0 Trumba support has been phenomenal! Responses from Trumba support have been quick and to the point and they have always been willing to support us and provide whatever assistance was required Pros I can administer 36+ schools with an average of 10-15 individual calendars per school from my central office location and insert the necessary spuds in the school sites Cons customized web safe colour choices used throughout all calendars have to be re-entered when any new school is set up but it is minor in the grand scheme of things Review Source Response from Trumba June 17, 2024 Hi Liam, We appreciate your sharing your feedback. We're so glad you find the platform helpful and our support phenomenal (you made our day!). Thank you for choosing Trumba, Trumba Support Team ST Simone T. Executive Assistant Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Better than Expected!" June 21, 2024 5.0 Pros My Overall Experience with TRUMBA is that it is one of the Best Calendar Database I have Manage & Work in. There are no Delays when an Event Information need to go Live on Our Website! Client Support and Training is Great & Respond Quickly to All Inquires! Cons I do not Dislike Anything about this Platform! Review Source Response from Trumba June 28, 2024 Hi Simone, Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that Trumba saves you time and that Trumba Support has been so helpful to you. We appreciate your letting us know! Thank you for choosing Trumba, Trumba Support Team SH Shelley H. Digital Services Lead Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product with outstanding customer service" June 1, 2022 5.0 Trumba has helped our large organization be more efficient managing online classes and events. It has streamlined the process and allows individual departments to be responsible for their own calendars while being pushed to the website without additional help (after initial embeding & set up). My favorite part about Trumba is their customer service. This team is always willing to help. They find solutions, take feedback and even edit the product if it's helpful. They helped us tremedously during the pandemic when a quick solution was needed. I cannot say enough good things about Trumba! Pros Trumba is easy to use and is very efficient at setting up single events, as well as reoccurring events. Trumba allows departments within our organization to manage their own events without the need for a webmaster to make edits every time an event changes. It syncs seamlessly with our website, is easy to customize to our branding and adds the ability for online registration and payment all in one system. Before Trumba, the online registration system we had lacked a calendar component and caused web edits every time an event changed. The ability to schedule event reminders is also very helpful. Cons I really like everything about the software. If I had to pick one thing to improve..it may be that they add a video database on how to do certain things within Trumba. If there is already one, I'm unaware of it. There are so many features to customize within Trumba that I sometimes forget how to get to those areas or how to edit the feature I need. Review Source Response from Trumba June 6, 2022 Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate it! CM Charlene M. Applications / Operations Analyst Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Trumba our life saver!" August 11, 2022 5.0 Pros We needed a new venue reservations system and Trumba was our answer. It's web base, easy to use and keeps us from double booking our facilities. Trumba's dedicated staff was able to help us converted our old reservation system to Trumba with ease. If we have a problem or question even to this day they are quick to take care of us. So glad our managers chose Trumba! Cons Actually everything is working just fine. It would be nice to send new requests to the editor of a calendar instead of all requests going to the main editor. Reason for choosing Trumba The University was using Trumba in another department for campus events to be published on our website. Review Source Response from Trumba August 12, 2022 Hi Charlene, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We're honored to be your "life saver," and we are glad your managers chose Trumba too! LT Lindsay T. CRM Coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great!" August 11, 2022 5.0 Trumba really gets the job done! Our contact at Trumba, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\], has been really helpful and always available whenever I need to troubleshoot an issue or setup a new feature/layout and our team really appreciates it. Pros Having different calendars managed by different editors is really helpful in our large organization. Cons Sometimes when I've added a new field to our event submission forms and event templates it has caused an issue in another spot to pop up so I try to leave all of our settings as-is. We have a really complicated setup with multiple calendars and user groups though who are using their event calendars for completely different purposes. Reason for choosing Trumba It was already implemented before I started in this role. Review Source Response from Trumba August 16, 2022 Thanks Lindsay! We truly appreciate your taking the time to leave us a review. JG Jennifer G. Assistant IT Director for Web and Business Systems, College of Health and Human Sciences Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Trumba features that save time and money!" March 22, 2021 5.0 I have worked with several third-party vendors for various solutions and can honestly say that the folks at Trumba are incredibly responsive and easy to work with. They're always thinking of creative ways to meet our needs, no matter what we toss their way. Pros The event registration feature has been extremely useful. We've utilized this for numerous virtual and in-person events over the years. We can gauge interest in an event, set capacity and waitlist, email registrants and set custom confirmation and reminder emails. This feature has saved us time developing something equivalent in-house. We also use the event submission form feature to "reserve" space in our student computer labs and also to reserve equipment in our design center build labs. When users submit, the "reservation" is sent to the "Need Approval" calendar and then the calendar admin can approve or deny the reservation. Cons I sometimes get lost in the settings especially when dealing with field forms and overrides. However, anytime this has happened, I just reach out to the exceptional support staff and receive effective guidance quickly and professionally. Review Source JP Julien P. User Experience Strategist Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Meets my functionality and branding needs" August 23, 2021 5.0 Trumba is flexible and lets you do a lot, and they have very good documentation and support staff to guide you along. Sometimes configuration and settings can be a bit overwhelming and confusing, but at least those options exist, unlike other vendors who don't allow much customization or charge you extra for it. I think Trumba is great value - it's more expensive, but it lets you do more. Pros Being able to review submitted events, set up multiple calendars and event lists for different programs and topics, using various layouts that are easy to style using a global style with instance-based overrides, using custom event properties, Cons Getting lost finding the settings to change the display and contents of an event list Review Source Response from Trumba August 26, 2021 Thank you for taking the time to provide such a well thought out review of Trumba. It is very much appreciated! HP Heather P. Director, Community Relations Higher Education Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Online Calendar of Events" June 15, 2022 5.0 I really like using Trumba. I wish I had more time to dive into all of the features. Ex. I just learned how to create individual calendars bbase don teh departments and/or type sof events so I can embed those into individual webpages. Pros The ease of sharing events via multiple platforms and the customization of the event fields. Cons I haven't come across anything I dislike about Trumba. Review Source Response from Trumba June 16, 2022 Dear Heather, thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. It is greatly appreciated. -Trumba Support Team ER Elizabeth R. Democracy Center Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Better than the alternatives" August 11, 2022 4.0 Pros this has a clean, readable embed display compared to competitors and does not require accounts or registration to use Cons it would be nice to integrate booking capability into this, and be able to edit recurring events after the fact. Reason for choosing Trumba cheaper, no accounts or registration required to use, flexible combinations of rooms Review Source fC freda C. MSN, RN--Coordinator of Patient Education, Women and Infants Services Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Trumba for Childbirth Education" February 3, 2021 5.0 Our overall experience has been amazing! \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was a wonderful contact person to help get us started, and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been great with the ongoing support. He is friendly, responds quickly, and makes the system easy to navigate and use. The price was also better than other systems we were considering. Pros I like that this software is easy to use and could be adapted for our hospital program's settings. Cons The only thing that hasn't been perfect is the ability to shedule a series with multiple classes. I am having a hard time linking the classes as a series and not have them look like individual classes. Reason for choosing Trumba I liked that their system was already being used for childbirth education in many other hospitals. I also found \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] wonderful to work with.

Membership Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love it!" October 9, 2019 5.0 I love that the product is so customizable and even better is the customer service. If I can't find how to do something in a help article your guy is ON IT. He always is happy to help and goes above and beyond, replying to my emails typically in less than 24 hours and often with more information/explanation than I was asking for. This is SO RARE with tech companies and I just can't say enough about how wonderful it is to be assisted and taken care of so well with Trumba. Pros I like how truly customizable this software is. We've been able to tweak it to fit all of our users needs whatever those might be. Cons Sometimes it's hard to find or remember where to change certain features because they can become buried within the program. Review Source RA Rocio A. Executive Assistant Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "We love Trumba for calendaring and syncing the calendars to our webpage. " July 11, 2017 5.0 The customer service is great and we are able to customize the software with the support of Trumba's IT with no problem. Pros Trumba is very easy to use and the data entry component is quick. Making revisions or changes is also very user friendly and hassle free. Cons The color legend to ID certain items is off sometimes on the admin side (only complaint I have) so it makes it difficult to differentiate the data we are looking at.
