The team of people that I work with to develop the conference platform are great. The platform is relatively easy to navigate once shown.

I LOVE that we are always kept in the loop and on the same page with everyone from our team and your team.

If you type a company name wrong it won't find it.

It's nice to have that integration and to be able to just pop a question in there and get a few people's thoughts on it.

The template and messaging systems are tricky to get used to.

The event implementation is always quick and correct. We always want everything yesterday and I don't a lot of push back when I need something done ASAP.

All of the Personify team members that are on our account are always quick to respond and always willing to help us find a solution or creative idea for our event management.

We appreciate the the top notch service that we receive from the team assigned to us.

Customer service is at the top. My favorite feature is the live chat option so I can get a question answered quickly and efficiently without having to jump through hoops.

Great experience with software and customer support team.

Our rep who traveled on-site was wonderful making sure we were comfortable with the new registration process. Seamless badge printing.

The ease of use, and various financial, communication, and floor plan functions.

Customer service is amazing, and highly personalized. It is great that our team can generate reports to view and customize product categories, and online booth profile functionality.

There does not seem to be a reason for them not working and the cryptic error message does not resolve the problem either.

Having to pivot to next sessions and breakouts through a return to the agenda was very frustrating to our participants.

How easy it is to void/refund a credit card transaction.

I love using the floorplan for assigning, vacating, and moving exhibitors all around. It's so easy to move exhibitors and change the pricing all at the touch of a button.

We absolutely love our experience with A2Z Events. We find so many of the features and programs to be so easy and helpful to use, as do our exhibitors and attendees.

Ease of use and the numerous reporting options.

Great step in the right direction to make badge printing better. I loved the automated emails that were sent to attendees prior to the event.

The Addmin side was very difficult to use many tabs you had to go to apply reg type, add transactions, add payment. We had problem with the promo codes not working.

My experience with a2z has been excellent. The customer service is beyond amazing.

I find a2z to be very easy to use from the admin side.

The look and ease of use on the global admin side, professional look on the public side, customer support, webinar training sessions are all Top Notch.

It's so easy that we can provide them with a SSO link not only for the console but for our show partners as well, Shepard and CDS. It's nice that our exhibitors have such a streamlined experience.

There's not a lot I don't like about the a2z software. In the rare case that I do experience any issue, it's usually due to my own user error.

I've used Zoho Backstage for several events and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hassle-free event coordination experience.

Being a startup, we were new to selling our training services. With the help of Zoho backstage, we were able to quickly set up a webpage for the product and start marketing it without much hassle.

My event seemed to have characteristics that limited the expression of its unique style.

It's easy to use and completely effortless, allowing me to quickly manage registration, ticketing, seating arrangements, and more.

Landing page templates that are available are limited. More options with different types of designs can be made available.

One of the highlights is its ability to design event web pages in a simple and personalized way.

Anyone starting - can set up a landing page and sell tickets online with little or no help from a tech team.

Goodbye to switching from one platform to another, which was consuming my time and sanity. Developing this intuitive interface and ready-to-use templates made me look like a design master.
