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.

He has worked with every request we’ve have had and we greatly appreciate the flexibility.

The staff is good at figuring out what you want and helping you accomplish it. And they are constantly upgrading the software.

Customer Service!!! I would give it 10 stars if I could. Prompt, reliable and helpful and if I make a suggestion for a change or addition it is done within minutes.

They have an amazing support staff. Very quick response time.

I will even email a question to support sometimes and they will send me a video tutorial answering my question. I cannot say enough good things about EBE.

Customer support is great and quick to respond. Some of the features are not intuitive, but clunky.

This program makes organizing event leads, calendar, payments, contracts, invoices so easy. EBE is super user friendly.

We are still learning all the features that we can benefit from.

The support I receive from the company. The thing about softwares is they all require time getting to know the system and figuring things out.

What is important for me is having the support I need to figure it out. This company hands down has the best support I've seen in quite some time.

Too much room for error when keying in multiple sections during the initial setup process for an event.

This, plus QuickBooks, represents all I need for my back office systems. It's made my life 100x easier by keeping all of my data in one place.

I just love how sample and easy this software is to understand and use. I just can’t imagine booking events without it.

I'm not sure I'm using EBE in the exact way it was intended.

We are a small volunteer run nonprofit organization that rents out an historic wedding and event venue. We are thrilled to have transitioned from a manual reservation process to Event Booking Engines.

Good, responsive tech support by phone or email--my many questions are quickly answered. Some good customization and integration options.

This software has helped us with reports and organizing our daily client interactions. I cannot say this enough...support is outstanding.

The calendar is easy to use, and while I haven't used the payments/contracts features, they seem like they will be a real help when we get into the heat of our event season.

I like the widgets for the website the most. Customer Service is fantastic...very personal.
