Great engagement and user experience

This was my first virtual experience. Coming from a non-IT background, it was a bit daunting to imagine myself using a virtual events platform. But as it turned out to be, all you needed was basic knowledge of using a computer. Once I entered the event, I was amused to see a digital space filled with different elements. I specifically enjoyed taking part in the quizzes, polls and Q&A sessions. It was even more intriguing to see the event being customized to the brand guidelines, much like real-life events. I thoroughly enjoyed attending my first virtual event! Kudos to the organizers and Samaaro.

PROS

The platform was very easy to use with loads of features to engage audiences like me. I especially enjoyed the activity tracker which was like a competition for attendees to interact with the platform.

CONS

I enjoyed the overall experience of the event. Didn't feel anything was missing as such.

Review Samaaro

PROS

We had an urgent requirement for our annual award-function ceremony on July 17, and this was the first time we were hosting a virtual event, so we weren’t sure what to expect. But the event turned out to be par excellence. Samaaro’s team was very communicative and quick to respond. They made us understand how virtual events actually work and showed us some of their projects, which helped us make the decision. They also went the extra mile and conducted chroma key shooting for the virtual event, which made the entire session more interactive. We were able to deliver an interactive virtual award function for our employees without any glitches, and we are very happy with what Samaaro brought to the table. Team Samaaro delivered an optimal virtual experience with their interactive technology. Their software is out-of-the-box and was everything that we needed. The icing on the cake was the fact that they helped us build and mold our content in such a way that it elicits customer engagement, and the result was high audience retention until the end of the event.

CONS

Didn't find anything to give negative feedback

Virtual and Hybrid Events

Samaaro solved a lot of event management issues for us that other software in the market could not. They have automated most of the day-to-day tasks that an event manager needs to do. It saved a lot of our precious time and made it easy for our team to manage everything without any hassle.

PROS

We hosted a hybrid exhibition for our association. From day one, their CSM has been in close contact with us. From registrations to event analytics, they helped us with everything. We used their integration with Mailchimp to run email campaigns and CRM integration with HubSpot to manage leads. Coming to the platform UI, their platform was very easy to use, and navigating all the spaces was not a problem for our attendees. Considering the hybrid part, they made sure that sponsors and exhibitors can target both remote and on-site attendees. QR-enabled booths allowed our on-site attendees to check the virtual booths. Whereas, the virtual expo hall ensured that remote attendees could visit the exhibitor booths anytime. They went above and beyond to make our event a success. After hosting multiple hybrid events in the last few years with different vendors, here is a platform that finally meets our needs at a much lower price than the other alternatives in the market.

CONS

Didn’t experience any problem while working with their team.

Hybrid Events

Samaaro is intuitive and straightforward for attendees, delegates, sponsors, and exhibitors. Their UI is very user-friendly and it's easy to navigate to all the spaces. We had over 1500 members attending our three-day Hybrid Pharma Conference but didn't have any issues in delivering a seamless event to on-site and virtual attendees.

PROS

Samaaro offered a lot of interactive features like live reactions, polls, and session ratings to make the sessions lively and engaging. Our major concern was whether speakers will be able to engage the remote attendees. They integrated a Q&A feature into the virtual auditorium which made it easy for us to take questions from remote participants. Customization & branding opportunities were also excellent. We added our sponsors' banners in the lobby, auditoriums, and even inside the gaming arena. As an organizer, I must also say their admin dashboard was easy to use, and the analytics dashboard captured all the metrics we wanted to track. Our attendees, delegates, exhibitors, and sponsors were extremely pleased with the experience they had on the platform.

CONS

Haven’t faced any problems while hosting the event on Samaaro.

Platform Review for Virtual Expo

Recently,We hosted a virtual exhibition on Samaaro. To begin with, the entire platform was customized and branded according to our requirements, which we were very particular about. Moving on, the automated booth feature helped all our exhibitors in creating and customizing their product booths very easily. Additional features like the Meeting Scheduler, Real-time Analytics, Resource Center and Personal Briefcase really cratered to the pain-points of both the attendees and exhibitors. From an organizers point of view, Team Samaaro was very supportive and collaborative throughout duration of planning and executing the event. Very happy with the service and, of course, the product. Pros: - Automated Booth Maker - Networking lounge - Analytics dashboard - User-experience and butter-smooth navigation - Intuitive and usability

Hybrid Events

Samaaro has all the necessary features needed to organize a successful hybrid event. From event planning, and running email campaigns to engaging attendees during the event and generating post-event reports, using Samaaro really helped us fast-track the entire process while we were running short on time.

PROS

They took care of every minute detail of our conference. For easier check-ins, they provided integrations with PayPal, Stripe, Razorpay, and other payment gateways. Then we used Mailchimp to send email reminders before the event. The process was extremely easy. Coming to the platform, the UI was designed keeping in mind that many delegates and attendees might not be high-tech-savvy people. Our delegates and attendees loved the UI as it was easy to use yet aesthetically pleasing. Their 3D immersive spaces with animations made our online event a life-like experience for everyone. From an organizer's point of view, I found this platform a better alternative to other platforms such as Vfairs, Dreamcast, etc. Samaaro provided enterprise-level solutions at a much lower price

CONS

We have only heard rave reviews from our attendees, exhibitors and sponsors.

Amazing Software for Managing Hybrid Events

When I started searching for event management software for our first hybrid conference, I got in touch with a lot of vendors. But Samaaro stood out significantly against the competition. Far superior features, customization, and branding opportunities at a much lower price than other alternatives. We were running behind our schedule, but Mayank and the team were able to get the platform ready in time.

PROS

Absolutely amazing customer support! Customizable platform with a stunning and user-friendly UI, clean design, and extremely easy to navigate. Their integrations with multiple tools like Walls.io, ActiveCampaign, and Salesforce gave us the chance to pull in feeds from Instagram, Linkedin, and Twitter, send email campaigns and add leads on CRM directly. Sponsors loved the customization options in their hybrid booths. It was super easy for attendees to rate sessions, interact with delegates and vote for the best speaker from the auditorium.

CONS

Excellent event management software that leaves no scope for complaints.

An interactive platform for virtual events

I took part in a virtual summit hosted by ELETS on Samaaro last month, and it was truly amazing to witness how innovative the technology used for the event was. I was not expecting a virtual event to be so interactive and engaging. The keynote sessions were quite immersive with all the chat boxes followed by Q&A sessions and quizzes at the end of it. I absolutely enjoyed taking part in the virtual summit!

PROS

I loved the fact that you can play games, participate in live polls, have one-on-one video chats, visit exhibit booths and enter a networking lounge where you can interact with other people with the same interests. All of these factors made it seem like a real event.

CONS

The chat interface was a bit confusing initially, but eventually you get used to it.

Vendor Response

We are pleased to know that your virtual experience with us was a good one Mahima! Thank you for entrusting us with the care of a major business event. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and reviews like yours make our day because it makes all the hard work worthwhile. Our team is constantly working hard to improve various aspects of the platform and we have implemented the feedback given by you and enhanced the chat systems. We would love to give you a tour of the new chat UI at your convenience. Once again, we appreciate the feedback provided by you. Thanks again for choosing Samaaro.

Hybrid Events

We have used many event management solutions in the last few years, but the experience with Samaaro was truly remarkable. The user-friendly UI, 3D designs, branded spaces and custom integrations - everything is built with the end-user experience in mind.

PROS

Samaaro's entire platform is customizable allowing us to deliver a branded hybrid event like we planned to. Thanks to their integrations with PayPal and Stripe, overseas attendees were able to register without any problem. Finally, the customer success team at Samaaro was outstanding. They were available all the time and were quick to come up with solutions for any additional requirements. Anyone looking for an enterprise-level event management solution need not look any further. It's a much cheaper and worthier alternative to other tools on the market.

CONS

Didn’t experience any problem while using Samaaro.

Samaaro is an out-of-the-box, unique and innovative virtual event platform that provided me with an opportunity to connect with people from around the world. It consists of features that will make one's virtual event experience a lot smoother and convenient. Excited to see how this software evolves in near future.
