    Date: Sep 27 2024
    Summary

    Overall, I cannot imagine what my day-to-day life would look like without the use of Cvent. It helps enormously to have everything in one spot and accessible by anyone working on the event.

    Positive

    Cvent has everything integrated into one platform essentially, which helps in all aspects of event management. From Supplier RFP's to On-site support, Cvent is a great product for anyone looking to streamline their events.

    The new reporting features have been a bit clunky for the past few years, but they are finally implementing a custom report feature again. Also, if the Cvent platform is undergoing maintenance, or has any issues, you will not be able to access anything.

    Summary

    Overall the product is a great tool and value is there. I would recommend to anyone to give Cvent a try. They have a lot of products for what us event planners need to be successful!

    Positive

    I love how simple the program is to use but have a lot of elements to them, a lot of other programs are out there and "Simple" but don't really do much. This allows me to keep better track of my event data and work!

    Negative

    While the program is simple, occasionally it is hard to find what I need to do. However, Cvent recently released a Search Bar update and this has helped tremendously!

    Best Solution to Seamless Event Planning!

    Updated: Sep 27 2024
    Summary

    Overall, I enjoy using Cvent compared to other event planning platforms. It feels like I can create an event all in one space without having to jump around resources.

    Positive

    Using the Suppliers/Vendor Sourcing, Website Building, and Creating the Registration all in one place made everything so easy for me to create events. When I had an issue, the Live Chat Cvent Community was able to help with no problems. Also, the reporting data was very useful post-event so we could view our revenue and attendee list.

    Negative

    It would most likely be the limitations to what we can customize. For example, the website build widgets and the email creations.

    Cvent is the best

    Date: Oct 15 2024
    Summary

    Cvent is amazing for Event Management and registration. I have used event for the past five years and do not know how I managed without it. It takes away a lot of the manual tasks and is able to hold all my data into one system. I do wish there was a little more custom features as Cvent is very much set up in just one way, but after you figure out those little nitpicky things it’s great.

    Positive

    The best thing is that it takes a lot of the manual work of tracking RSVPs, Personal Information, attendance at sessions out of event registration. If I didn’t have cvent I would have to hire a new staff member just to do registration.

    Negative

    It is pricey and not as custom as I wished it could be especially with the reporting.

    Updated: Nov 28 2023
    Summary

    Overall, Cvent is innovative and top of its class in event management software. There are obviously always improvements, but we can always rest assured that Cvent will be reliable and that any bugs that they experience are escalated quickly.

    Cvent Event Management is user friendly both for the user and for the attendee. They are constantly making improvements and taking suggestions on improvements.

    Negative

    I would say that FLEX has some limitations in the build process that I would love fixed. Example: There used to be a way in Cvent registration to be able to have the guest of the primary attendee copy their flight details on the travel page and that is no longer an option.
