No incentive was offered I have a good experience using of it from bite sides #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like the my schedule feature. Customizing my schedule is so helpful especially when there are lots of options #### Cons I wish I could stop people from downloading on multiple devices --- ### Excellent tool for conferences, training, orientations etc. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: July 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Significantly reduce printing costs and paper usage. Allow individuals to plan better. Send updates in a timely fashion. Allow users to interact with each other. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I have used guidebook for a few years now. Most of my usage experience has come as a conference attendee. I no longer need to get tree-killing printed conference schedules (unless I am presenting, then I want a copy)! The tool is very easy to use in most situations. You can create a registration/check-in for folks, put in guides, schedules, reminders, and push notifications to users. I have explored using it for my own office as well, and had worked with guidebook to set up a trial. I thought the tool was very useful for our work (University - training undergraduate student staff), however, the price was a little too high for the extent to which this product would have been helpful, so I decided not to go through with this. #### Cons The schedule explore can be a little clunky, it will not keep your place at times, randomly refresh itself, etc. The search feature can be your best friend if you know what you are looking for, because the organization system is not designed for any specific context, which means that while it is good for many different uses, it leave a little to be desire in each specific context. --- ### Not a fan of Guidebook - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Raymond R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros For what it does, Guidebook is very useful. Great at being that one place on the phone for visitors to click to for information about the events taking place on campus. #### Cons Customization is really bad. You're forced to use their color palette, which doesn't make sense. --- ### Good product, very intuitive and comes with a great customer support team - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2017 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Ease of use and a consistent product we feel good about promoting to our attendees. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The guides we create are very easy to build and navigate. Most menus and items can be customized and the website's support FAQs and step-by-step instructions are incredibly helpful. If an answer can't be found there, I've always gotten quick answers from the support team that address what I need. #### Cons The only reason I'm not rating this 5 stars is because there's no lead tracker availability. At our conferences, we have exhibitors that would like to follow up with attendees more directly than just saying "do you have a business card?". Further, we would like to track actual attendance at sessions by having a QR code printed on badges and someone at the door to scan as people arrive. As much as we encourage our attendees, we know not everyone will download the app and check-in to sessions, so that doesn't give us the most reliable data. --- ### Guidebook is a one-stop shop for conferences - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Julie L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Guidebook eliminates the need for any printing, which cuts down on costs and waste. Guidebook makes it easy to stay on schedule, with maps and reminders. Connecting with other attendees is easy too, through the app, without needing to give more personal information than what you'd like while still having a way to network. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I have used Guidebook at several conferences, and love the ease of use as well as the total elimination of printed schedules and information. With the option of selecting what events I am planning to attend (and setting calendar reminders as well!) out the menu of offerings for any given day or time period, this makes scheduling a breeze. Maps, powerpoints, speaker notes, and options for social networking allow attendees to have any information they need just with one app. #### Cons For my purposes, I didn't have any complaints about this software or its utilization. --- ### A necessity for a well organized con - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Games - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Love it, the ability to add events to your schedule with reminders has saved me many times #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Way better than a physical con schedule. Can be updated on the fly and has the ability to display as many sections of information for events, panels, and booths. Helps con goers find everything there is to do #### Cons I don't like when con runners don't maximize its potential and put out an unfinished guidebook. That is all --- ### Great Way to Build an App for an Event - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: March 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. We needed the ability to build an app for a large conference that attendees could use to build their agenda and that we could use to communicate in real time. Guidebook gave us that power, even though we didn't have tech/coding experience or knowledge. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like how easy and user-friendly it is. I do not have coding experience myself, but I'm able to use Guidebook to create an app for a large conference. Many people on my team can be admins, and we can all edit, add photos, insert descriptions, and make sure everything looks great. The end result looks awesome on mobile devices and takes our conference to the next level. I also love the metrics, which help us know where to put our efforts/improvements. #### Cons We use this every year, and when I log on it always defaults to first app rather than the most recent one. This isn't a huge deal, but it is annoying. --- ### Best event app on the market - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Financial Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used monthly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: November 2018 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Guidebook allows us to eliminate printing and offer users a much improved experience at our annual conference. We collect feedback through the app, facilitate networking, sell sponsorship placements, and give attendees all the information they need. It's been a really useful tool, well worth the investment. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Great UI. Easy to build apps. Excellent customer service. There are a lot of event app companies out there, but Guidebook is by far my favorite. Both from a user's and admin's perspective. #### Cons App store no longer allows for branded apps, so you have to create an app within Guidebook's app. Not the worst, just wish Apple were less restrictive. --- ### Love Guidebook - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Nate A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Love Guidebook. Simple, easy, effective. And great customer service. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros We love using Guidebook. It's so simple to teach other editors as well as edit myself. Even though the layout is simple, it's still easy to get creative and intentional with. #### Cons With we had more control of layouts. An easier way to put in static maps as PDF files would be great too, #### Reasons for choosing Guidebook Familiarity and cost --- ### Guidebook Excels as interactive meeting guide - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Leslie R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Events Services - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used other for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered The experience was unparalleled, especially when it came to the support. As a once-a-year-user, many aspects of the program are updated from one year to the next and the support I received in navigating the newest platforms was always prompt, efficient and on-target #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The ease with which I can manage all aspects of the program, as well as the success rate for people using it onsite. Even those who may be 'technologically challenged' found it easy to download and easy to use #### Cons For my purposes, I could not find any part of Guidebook that was difficult or unclear to understand, learn or use. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 65 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/event-management/guidebook-profile/reviews/) ## Guidebook Popular Comparisons [Whova vs Guidebook](https://www.softwareadvice.com/event-management/guidebook-profile/vs/whova/)[Cvent Event Management vs Guidebook](https://www.softwareadvice.com/nonprofit/cvent-profile/vs/guidebook/) [Compare All Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/event-management/guidebook-profile/alternatives/) ## Other Top Recommended Event Marketing Software [Wrike](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/wrike-profile/) **4.4** (3044) Recently recommended **6** times [Smartsheet](https://www.softwareadvice.com/project-management/smartsheet-profile/) **4.5** (3567) Recently recommended **3** times [monday AI Work Platform](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/monday-com-profile/) **4.6** (6123) Recently recommended **0** times [Constant Contact](https://www.softwareadvice.com/marketing/constant-contact-profile/) **4.3** (2953) Recently recommended **0** times Stuck Between Options?
