Eventzilla Software

Pros

Simple for attendees to use. Multiple view of attendee data.

Cons

Payments methods offered are limited and not customizable.

Pros

I used this website once to schedule a phone interview for either a job or a clinical trial. It was easy to use and did what it was supposed to do.

Cons

No negatives that I could think of. I was just a user.

Very positive. I tried a bunch of other Event managers and this one was the most flexible for my needs of scheduling a dinner for my scout troop.

Pros

It was easy to setup and configure to personalize for my Boy Scout troop. It was also free for the type of events that we host from time to time.

Cons

Some of the options we a bit challenging to find, and I had to dig through menus to get to them. Perhaps a single page with more of the options would be better than multiple pages tied together with navigation.

Pros

Inexpensive compared to our event software tools. Helps with registration and works well with other applications like PayPal.

Cons

Several features could be added to help the organization of registration and guest. Overall for the price it is pretty great.

We've used eventzilla to organise our national fundraising challenge events, allowing people to sign up for mountain climbs and pay for their ticket at the same time as accepting T&C's and finding out more information about the event. It was really easy to set up and to manage the event and much easier than dealing with hundreds of emails!

Pros

It's easy to use and simple to personalise the events to incorporate your own branding and design. The notification settings are also easy to adjust to suit and reporting works really well. There are a lot of functions for a simple looking interface.

Cons

Nothing, it all does what we want it to!

It is the best product on the market for large event planning

Pros

Free and pretty user friendly. You can set up an event in less than 30 minutes.

Cons

Cost for registrants is a little bit high

We use Eventzilla to manage our computer classes at our store. It's great to have integration with out website and to be able to offer discount codes easily. It really fits a need for us that would be WAY harder to manage without it.

Pros

-Ease of use
-Cloud based registrations
-Not having to manage communications w/ registrants w/ other tools

Cons

Early on it was a little glitchy, but it's gotten way better. No big complaints.

It's been decent.

Pros

I like that if you aren't charging for an event, that the registration is FREE.

Cons

It's been a challenge to take out the money for the events we have charged for since you switched from PayPal. We still have money sitting in an account from eventzilla last summer because our office admin doesn't think she should have to give her personal SSID number to take out church funds.

If you're running free or mid-to-high cost events, Eventzilla is perfect. If you're running low-cost events, their cut may prove to be too much.

Pros

There are a LOT of event managements systems out there. But none quite as affordable as Eventzilla. If your event is free? Eventzilla is free. After that, they only charge a dollar per attendee if you have a paid event. Point is, it's ridiculously well-priced. You just can't beat it.

Cons

If your event doesn't cost very much per person, a dollar is a huge cut. Also, searching through multiple events' registrations could be way easier than it is. They make it a bit complicated to find specific registrations.

Fast, intuitive setup; great support from CHAT; lot of great features... so far, so good!

Pros

I was looking for software that would support multiple events (workshops and webinars) and allow me to manage complex registrations (several promo codes) as well as send reminders to attendees without me having to remember. This system solved that. I got up and running within a couple of hours setting up 4 events. Had a few questions but CHAT support addressed them the next day. So, it supports complex needs yet is fairly intuitive to use.

Cons

Like anything, I'd like to get the "biggest bang" for my buck. It is less expensive per ticket sold than Eventbrite but since I am just starting, have yet to see how it is "in action". At a certain point, I'd prefer to pay by subscription rather than per ticket if sales increase.

Pros

If you do events and have a small staff then this program is for you. From being easy to use by having a guided process, mobile friendly, you can personalize it to your organization which is important to us as a nonprofit. Our set-up experience has been very pleasant and happy on how it turn out.

Cons

Cost, it may only be a small fee but for a non-profit, every penny can make a difference.

We love that Eventzilla allows you to make your own questions as part of registration in order to correctly collect all of the data needed to ensure we are set up. Highly recommended!

Pros

I love that Eventzilla is a trusted site that has been around for 9 years. It offers setting up the event, sending invites, collecting payments, as well as tracks attendance to give you great data.

Cons

We had a glitch a few years ago with the ticket posting, but it was corrected. Very few errors, great product. Well worth it!

Pros

I find it easy to set up events that have the location and map included. I have used this software for years for my yoga retreats and students can navigate with ease.

Cons

Setting us different types of tickets is tricky. I wish the terms would copy from other ticket types already set up.

I can send out weekly class events with this product and it tracks registration, confirmation, and final head count for the class.

Pros

It tracks the number of people who register for our classes we offer. We love the ability to "Clone" repeated events so we don't have to type in repeated information.

Cons

Any event that requires online payment was a little difficult to set up because it goes through a third party site.

very happy, will use again for this years event

Pros

I run a sporting club every year and its easy to use this to precharge people for entry and purchasing of jerseys

Cons

the time and date settings are a touch funky

Pros

Exposure. I like that it's easy integration of the event forms into our website. Not hard to use at all. Customization on every level from the cost, early bird cost, can do discounts and use special promo codes. Affordable event management software. I like the exposure most of all.

Cons

Tricky, its not Eventzillas fault, but because of how our company accepts payments, it increased more work on our end. It was like, we got more exposure, but more work to collect the money and tracking.

I obviously really like Eventzilla, as I switched to using them in 2014 and have stuck with them. Getting a custom URL, getting money deposited weekly (and not at the end of my event like other sites), and a slew of other features make it a really great choice.

Pros

I love the functionality vs. price. I have been using Eventzilla for several years now and they are always improving the functionality, yet the price to the consumer is always low compared to other ticketing sites.

Cons

I think some menus could be streamlined and easier to find/navigate, but it's a very small complaint and not a huge deal.

Overall it has been a useful tool. Creating events is really simple and once you have a template, editing it for future events is a snap. Eventzilla also makes check in super simple which has sped up our registration check in lines.
I do wish there was a way to do a few customizations on the tickets. We often giveaway items at our events and wish you could print things like sizing or some sort of code on each person's ticket. Its not a deal breaker by any means, would just be a nice feature.

Pros

Overall it is easy to use and customize. We use it for internal events that our staff attend and customizing it to our needs is pretty easy.

Cons

Occasionally editing is difficult. If you are creating a multiple choice option and make a mistake, its not easy to just edit the one line that has a mistake, rather you have to delete it which then changes the order of how you had things listed. This can be corrected, but its an extra step I'd rather not have to make.

We've used eventzilla for our volunteer appreciation dinner, and as a registration for some of our training classes. it's great

Pros

The program is so easy to use, and pretty user friendly!

Cons

I dont think there is anything that I didn't like about the program.

It’s good but there a lot of room for improvement.

Pros

The interaction with PayPal is great and it allows folks to use their own credits cards to maximize points etc.

Cons

There is no way to create a reply email (like a thank you) to a registration. Just a like box. I think this could be substantially better. Also the ticket limit is ridiculous. If you have an event with a limit of 10 spots, and you want to stagger payments (1/3, 1/3, 1/3) the system will show sold out when 10 payments are received. So 7 pay the first 1/3, 3 go to pay the second 1/3. When the 4th goes to make a second payment they get sold out. It’s forced me to go to invoicing through PayPal.
