Does the job of getting someone signed and up info can be sent easy to let them know Cons Originally as Aventri and now joint with meetings play to make Stova, and since customer support hasn’t been fantastic and not sure of the direction it’s going in.

Official Member Civic & Social Organization ### "Least User Friendly Event Software on the Market" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 January 4, 2023 Managing an event. Pros There is a lot of functionality built into the software, across the needs of an event. Cons This isn't user friendly AT ALL. There are only a handful or integrations, and customer service isn't helpful. My impression was that they wanted me to thank them for providing their product, instead of being treated like a customer.

KV Kaitlyn V. Partner and sales associate Apparel & Fashion ### "Good and bad points.." 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 July 14, 2022 Overall: This has a lot of nice features and is fast when working correctly, but you may have trouble getting started and using it, especially if you're a small business and don't have dedicated employees for event management. It is expensive. We did benefit from using this after hiring a more tech savvy employee who could use it somewhat well. The reports helped us gain insights and improve our following events. Pros Pros: Technical support that is easily accessible anytime via phone or email, nice reporting and analysis, numerous features, dashboard showing revenue among other stats, RSVP feature, multiple types of attendees, API, activity tracking, and ticket scanning. It has a lot of extras and nice features, fast and powerful when working correctly. It functioned for us as a small business. Cons Cons: Difficult to use even with the tech support.. it was incredibly daunting getting this set up. I did not at all look forward to using it. The price is rather high and there were some extra fees. We had difficulties with payment processing. It was not easy to use with the other systems we already have well established for our business.

Pros The customer service always responds within minutes. Cons It is not a very user friendly site and is too complicated for simple events. The interface is a bit outdated but the extended version is way to complicated and takes too much time to figure out. Reasons for choosing Stova I did not make this choice.

Designer Design ### "Highly customizable, but not great UX" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 December 16, 2021 Aventri can do what you need but it's expensive and can be difficult to work with. For large organizations with dedicated IT and developers you'll be fine but not mom and pop orgs. Pros Aventri can really achieve whatever you need if you have an unlimited budget. Its functionality is highly customizable to the organization. Cons UX needs work unless you're a very proficient developer. If you don't code extensively, you'll need a lot of help setting it up.

Elle est facile à integrer à ma plate-forme d'automatisation du marketing et simplifie complètement tous les flux commerciaux. Pros Il ne comporte pas de frais, ce qui est très agréable pour ce type de logiciel. Je n'ai pas trouvé de difficultés pour créer mes événements, les outils sont simples d'utilisation. J'ai également trouvé les didacticiels très faciles et idéals pour utiliser Aventri. Cons j'ai rencontré plusieurs fois des difficultés pour joindre le service client. Je n'ai pas vraiment trouvé d'autres inconvénients, mis à part le design du site qui pourrait être un peu plus moderne.

I've always gotten answers and I like the online chat feature for help. Pros The price was right on target for our needs. As we don't have a huge number of users /attendees so this fit our needs. It gives us more than we needed which allows us to build and grow with it down the road. Cons There are a few features I learned we can't do but I know you can't please everybody. It's also pretty minor. There are lots of pages/ place to go so sometimes it's hard to remember where to go for more in depth changes. Reasons for choosing Stova price was right along with the features it offered and we needed.
