Pros/Cons
Pros
- It is very easy to use, as the ready-made templates help in choosing the appropriate design, as well as adding images, texts and video clips, and editing them with great flexibility.
- As a long time user of RegOnline, we can highly recommend the software based on it's flexibility, user-friendliness, and outstanding customer support.
- I have really enjoyed our experience so far. Their customer service is excellent and the functionality is great.
Cons
- We have had a horrible experience with Cvent. Our industry is in crisis mode due to the pandemic and they will not work us at all.
- I think they are scrubbing the negative reviews to keep a high number of stars to dupe potential clients.
- I rarely post about other companies, but feel that this company has the worst event platform and highest cost I have seen in the conference industry in the past 10 years.
Pros
- From administrators to calendar users, the platform is intuitive to use and offers truly useful features. Our users love the ease of expressing interest in an event and notifications in their inbox.
- The integration with our event management system is great and the UX is really good. Super user-friendly and clear with labels, flexible to add your own tags/categories, etc.
- I like that the platform is very user friendly. We train users around the university to add events and is it extremely helpful to be user friendly.
Cons
- Having to deal with spam comments and events can be frustrating. Not sufficient documentation for creating custom widgets for our website.
- Older newsletter feature was too limited and difficult, and the newer newsletter feature seems complicated still. A lot of software changes have been difficult to keep up with changes and features.
- After I've uploaded a new audience, the response time a for it to appear and become useable. This is very confusing and stressful when you need to send the campaign.
