The Heavy Lifter That Makes Complex Events Look Easy

Cvent is the gold standard for a reason. It transformed how we handle our major conferences. It gives me the confidence that nothing will slip through the cracks. Once you get past the initial training phase, it becomes an indispensable tool. It handles the chaos of event planning with structure and reliability that I have not found in other platforms. For anyone running large scale events, this is the engine you want running the show.

Pros:

Cvent is a beast in the best way possible. I love the sheer depth of the platform. The registration features are incredibly customizable, allowing us to handle complicated attendee tracks without breaking a sweat. The OnArrival tool for check in is smooth and makes the first impression on attendees very professional. I also rely heavily on the reporting tools which give me granular data on everything from ticket sales to session attendance. It puts everything I need in one central hub so I do not have to juggle multiple spreadsheets.

Cons:

Because it does so much, the learning curve is steep. It took me a while to really feel comfortable navigating the backend without second guessing myself. The interface in some areas feels a bit clunky and could use a modern refresh to match newer competitors. It is also a significant investment, so it might be overkill for smaller organizations just running simple meetups. Customer support is generally good but getting to the right person can sometimes take longer than I would prefer.

Excellent Events Management Platform

We have been using Cvent Event Management for over a decade. Throughout that time, I've shopped competitors to see if we need to go elsewhere. Time after time, Cvent has been the only platform who could meet our needs at a competitive price. Well, not just at a competitive price, but AT ALL. Overall, it's been a very positive experience. Support is super-quick and our account rep and client success manager have always been very knowledgeable and on top of things. I really don't see us ever leaving them for a different events platform at any point in the future.

Pros:

It's got a TON of flexibility that will fit just about every use case. The pricing is really good compared to a lot of other platforms.

Cons:

Sometimes you have to do workarounds for things that should just be normal features, such as adding images to the session descriptions.

Reasons for choosing Cvent Event Management

The value for the price was really outstanding. The features that we use would have cost much much more with some of the other platforms or were just completely unavailable.

Great Customer Support

My overall experience with CVENT is pretty good. We use this platform regularly as we conduct many events in a year. I do not feel like it is very user friendly but it does have capabilities that other platforms do not have which is vital to the way we gather data during the registration process.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

CVENT has a lot of capabilities that other platforms do not such as the ability to link questions, have sub questions and do conditional settings. The customer support is great and has always been able to find a solution to my issues.

Cons:

There are often many areas you have to modify for a single final action. For example, for an event to be live, you have to have the event live, the registration active AND the admission types active. Some of the design features are very limited and modifying things like images can be very challenging. We often have repeat business and are finding that when we copy an event, there are a lot of hidden settings that get copied over and can make the new copy a bit messy.

Reasons for choosing Cvent Event Management

We also have the On Arrival badging system that works really well.

Pros:

It is a total game-changer for event planning! This platform makes it super easy to create landing pages for our events.The on arrival feature is a total lifesaver. Being able to check in attendees and print badges on the spot really levels up the whole experience for everyone involved. Plus, it's super handy for keeping track of who's actually shown up.

Cons:

I wish the site designer was a little easier to use, as sometimes it is hard to move things around and can be a bit clunky.

Pros:

I use Cvent daily for my job, I mostly use it for attendee management and reporting. I love the new custom reports and registration dashboard.

Cons:

N/A - Cvent gets better each year. I wish the reporting wasn't so siloed into the various categories because sometimes I need fields that aren't available on that particular report, so I end up using Registration Details or Invitee Details report to essentially create my own report.
