This is a huge pain, actually - mostly for getting guest list or dashboard level info. Costs even more for additional features compared to similar competitors.

It has made the entire event management process easier. It is user friendly for my guests and very easy for me to see who has registered and their corresponding responses to the registration page.

I really enjoy working with Aventri. It helps us to create a more professional conference and keeps everything organized logistically.

The speed at which Aventri (formerly eTouches) responds to support requests is fantastic and a real asset.

Easy to use, user-friendly event registration software with a great support team and great customer service.

Excellent customer support. Very happy with the overall experience after running events using Aventri / eTouches since about 2014.

Etouches has been so wonderful for my first event. Since the software was created by event planners, it is very very user friendly and has helped create a great website to register for our event.

Software has many great features though not overly intuitive how to use. Customer service is top notch.

The *promises* pre-purchase of ease of use, integration and transparency in pricing.

Sometimes the email system does not work with some firewalls. ETouches is sometimes hard to get to merge with other programs that we use for different parts of our events.

We love the ability to integrate many parts of the planning process into one platform so we aren't learning and customizing several different platforms for our needs.

I have been able to better coordinate discount codes for certain registrants plus offer various registration types, which has saved me a lot of time and communication.

Well, in my opinion someone screwed with the algorithm and it spits back the most useless junk you've ever seen. It is NEVER relevant or helpful.

The support centre for Aventri is fantastic. They are always willing to help and are very efficient with resolutions.

The software itself is easy to use and is pretty much user friendly.

I like how easy the program was to use. I got on the registration builder, followed the directions and created my pages.

There are lots of pages/ place to go so sometimes it's hard to remember where to go for more in depth changes.

Benefits I've realized: literally any other software would be better than this. I'm counting down the days until our contract is up.

ETouches integrates perfectly into our Marketing Automation platform which allows us to completely streamline all our business process.

If your product is so intuitive, why would we need 16 hours of training valued at $2,500. I absolutely abhor this software.

The most helpful tool for me is their Custom Reporting feature.

The website editing and formatting can be frustrating at times.

ETouches is very user friendly and easy to explain to someone how to use the registration. Easy to walk attendees through the process.

We were thrilled with the event set up support team servicing our account, and their ability to provide additional suggestions to enhance the data collection and user experience.

They also provide great customer support. It is end user friendly which made it easy to integrate into our non-profit associations.

User-friendly and good training materials. We also appreciated the customization capabilities.

They are constantly upgrading and improving. Our customer success team is very friendly and engaging and often follows up on our support tickets.

Etouches generally has many changes over the course of the years as well so if you do choose this solution be sure that you can easily adapt to new layouts often.

I dread having to figure out new features. Of the time, I end up emailing customer service because I cannot find what I need.

There is also a loss of some functionailty with the simplification of the system.

Their customer service is fabulous and they consistently go above and beyond in their service.

I can find exactly what I need, when I need it. I also really enjoy being able to see the website update automatically as I make any changes or updates.

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.

The system was not geared to endurance events and it limited us in what we could do in the endurance industry.

Easy to use, love how you can duplicate events during set up and best part is choice of payment platform- as an event organizer getting paid within days of ticket sales is great.

System was easy to use, great customer support and the employees we dealt with would go out of their way to help us.

In fact, when some clients choose other platforms and issues arise, it reminds me why I am so happy with this decision. The ease of setting up new events and copying past events in incomparable.

The people on the events.com team, are some of the best people I have worked with and genuinely care about our organization and what these events allow us to do beyond the event.

There should be options for non-binary and other. With the multi selection question, there's no option to add other with an if other question.

You want me to type more but that is literally the only thing we like.

We are able to host all of our events through events.com and that is a game changer for us. Payment plans, different ticket pricing - it's all wonderful to have in one place.

Charges too much in fees for purchasing tickets.

A fantastic and highly personalized ticket management system.

We were told a machine would be sent to us this week to process tickets, that didn't happen. Overall a very disappointing experience that has required far more work on our part than we were expecting.

Events.com has the top client support. They check in on us several period to get on to certainly we didn't assert any questions and to desire our outcome well.

The customer service brings the product from good to great.

I like the UI, it is very clear and I am able to find what I am looking for easily.

Inability to design registration page exactly to my standards.

This allows our organization to easily manager our professional clubs' events. It been a big help to get the information out, see who is interested, and manage appropriate follow up messages.

Navigation thru site was confusing  and sometimes frustrating.

Our local sales rep was AMAZING. She made our transition from a different service provider seamless, provided fast and friendly support, and personalized our event page herself.

The extra 'add-on's' (such as swag, drink, t-shirts, socks etc) are a really nice touch. The sharing feature to allow others to invite friends for a discount is great.

I love the ease of the platform. It is very user friendly and what isn't easy the customer service is top-notch.

If you download the information it's useless and unreadable. Trying to make a list of who bought what is worthless and taking about 6 hours at this point.

The help staff were awesome. Took an active role and helped me get things in the way they needed to be.

The forward-facing UI for consumers. The simplicity of ticket purchasing and overall clean aesthetic of the design.

Our timing company also only uses iPads. It's very difficult to use this without it being used across all platforms.
