Trumba features that save time and money!
I have worked with several third-party vendors for various solutions and can honestly say that the folks at Trumba are incredibly responsive and easy to work with. They're always thinking of creative ways to meet our needs, no matter what we toss their way.
PROSThe event registration feature has been extremely useful. We've utilized this for numerous virtual and in-person events over the years. We can gauge interest in an event, set capacity and waitlist, email registrants and set custom confirmation and reminder emails. This feature has saved us time developing something equivalent in-house. We also use the event submission form feature to "reserve" space in our student computer labs and also to reserve equipment in our design center build labs. When users submit, the "reservation" is sent to the "Need Approval" calendar and then the calendar admin can approve or deny the reservation.
CONSI sometimes get lost in the settings especially when dealing with field forms and overrides. However, anytime this has happened, I just reach out to the exceptional support staff and receive effective guidance quickly and professionally.

It's Powerful! But I don't look forward to working in it.
You can do nearly anything imaginable with this calendaring software. I really like that people can submit their own events for me to review before publishing, which saves me SO much time.
PROSIt has SO many features, you will likely be able to do anything you want to do with a calendar. That's what my organization uses it for. You can set up a form for people to submit events, but have those submitted events go to calendars for review (not on your website) and then you can move them to actual calendars on your website. That saves time and is a very convenient feature! There are lots of spuds available, and they are very reliable.
CONSIt is not very user-friendly in my opinion. I have a rockstar expert of Trumba on my team, and he explains things to the rest of my team in very straightforward and a clear manner. When he explains, it makes sense and you wonder why you didn't think to check a specific place for a setting or why you haven't been using a specific process from the beginning. But then you get into Trumba and...you get that horrible user interface. If you are not using this every day, be prepared to re-learn how to do things in here for the rest of your life. That said, again, this is a powerful and effective program with many features. It's just frustrating sometimes. :/

Good feedback Brittany. We took it to heart. We've just re-written the Trumba administrative UI. The feedback so far has been very positive. Check out the video about Trumba's "T2" UI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C-TcokR_t0

CONSit would be nice to integrate booking capability into this, and be able to edit recurring events after the fact.
Reason for choosing Trumba Connect
cheaper, no accounts or registration required to use, flexible combinations of rooms

Great product with outstanding customer service
Trumba has helped our large organization be more efficient managing online classes and events. It has streamlined the process and allows individual departments to be responsible for their own calendars while being pushed to the website without additional help (after initial embeding & set up). My favorite part about Trumba is their customer service. This team is always willing to help. They find solutions, take feedback and even edit the product if it's helpful. They helped us tremedously during the pandemic when a quick solution was needed. I cannot say enough good things about Trumba!
PROSTrumba is easy to use and is very efficient at setting up single events, as well as reoccurring events. Trumba allows departments within our organization to manage their own events without the need for a webmaster to make edits every time an event changes. It syncs seamlessly with our website, is easy to customize to our branding and adds the ability for online registration and payment all in one system. Before Trumba, the online registration system we had lacked a calendar component and caused web edits every time an event changed. The ability to schedule event reminders is also very helpful.
CONSI really like everything about the software. If I had to pick one thing to improve..it may be that they add a video database on how to do certain things within Trumba. If there is already one, I'm unaware of it. There are so many features to customize within Trumba that I sometimes forget how to get to those areas or how to edit the feature I need.

Great!
Trumba really gets the job done! Our contact at Trumba, [SENSITIVE CONTENT], has been really helpful and always available whenever I need to troubleshoot an issue or setup a new feature/layout and our team really appreciates it.
PROSHaving different calendars managed by different editors is really helpful in our large organization.
CONSSometimes when I've added a new field to our event submission forms and event templates it has caused an issue in another spot to pop up so I try to leave all of our settings as-is. We have a really complicated setup with multiple calendars and user groups though who are using their event calendars for completely different purposes.
Reason for choosing Trumba Connect
It was already implemented before I started in this role.

Trumba our life saver!
We needed a new venue reservations system and Trumba was our answer. It's web base, easy to use and keeps us from double booking our facilities. Trumba's dedicated staff was able to help us converted our old reservation system to Trumba with ease. If we have a problem or question even to this day they are quick to take care of us. So glad our managers chose Trumba!
CONSActually everything is working just fine. It would be nice to send new requests to the editor of a calendar instead of all requests going to the main editor.
Reason for choosing Trumba Connect
The University was using Trumba in another department for campus events to be published on our website.
Reasons for switching to Trumba Connect
Went to a new email system. Had to replace the database that we were using.

Hi Charlene, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We're honored to be your "life saver," and we are glad your managers chose Trumba too!

Trumba for Childbirth Education
Our overall experience has been amazing! [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] was a wonderful contact person to help get us started, and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been great with the ongoing support. He is friendly, responds quickly, and makes the system easy to navigate and use. The price was also better than other systems we were considering.
PROSI like that this software is easy to use and could be adapted for our hospital program's settings.
CONSThe only thing that hasn't been perfect is the ability to shedule a series with multiple classes. I am having a hard time linking the classes as a series and not have them look like individual classes.
Reason for choosing Trumba Connect
I liked that their system was already being used for childbirth education in many other hospitals. I also found [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] wonderful to work with.
Reasons for switching to Trumba Connect

Meets my functionality and branding needs
Trumba is flexible and lets you do a lot, and they have very good documentation and support staff to guide you along. Sometimes configuration and settings can be a bit overwhelming and confusing, but at least those options exist, unlike other vendors who don't allow much customization or charge you extra for it. I think Trumba is great value - it's more expensive, but it lets you do more.
PROSBeing able to review submitted events, set up multiple calendars and event lists for different programs and topics, using various layouts that are easy to style using a global style with instance-based overrides, using custom event properties,
CONSGetting lost finding the settings to change the display and contents of an event list

We love Trumba for calendaring and syncing the calendars to our webpage.
The customer service is great and we are able to customize the software with the support of Trumba's IT with no problem.
PROSTrumba is very easy to use and the data entry component is quick. Making revisions or changes is also very user friendly and hassle free.
CONSThe color legend to ID certain items is off sometimes on the admin side (only complaint I have) so it makes it difficult to differentiate the data we are looking at.

Love it!
I love that the product is so customizable and even better is the customer service. If I can't find how to do something in a help article your guy is ON IT. He always is happy to help and goes above and beyond, replying to my emails typically in less than 24 hours and often with more information/explanation than I was asking for. This is SO RARE with tech companies and I just can't say enough about how wonderful it is to be assisted and taken care of so well with Trumba.
PROSI like how truly customizable this software is. We've been able to tweak it to fit all of our users needs whatever those might be.
CONSSometimes it's hard to find or remember where to change certain features because they can become buried within the program.

Trumba exit
Great experience with Trumba, and the only reason we are leaving is our non-profit has ceased to exist.
PROSWe selected Trumba for our grassroots nonprofit in 2009. Our goal was to build community and to highlight positive areas of our community. Our account representative made this an easy solution. It takes little technical knowledge to operate and is easy to deploy. We had the same Trumba contact for the entire twelve years we utilized Trumba, which is unheard of in this day and age.
CONSAny issues I had were addressed with new releases of the product.
