This software is something we only use for the largest, most complicated events we have because of the cost but it really does help modernize the onsite experience and make it more efficient. If you are using the CVENT family of event tools, it makes a lot of sense to look at all the options to use what works for your particular event. If you decide to use OnArrival with CVENT, you have your registration information integrated so you just need to determine how you want the badges to print and what options or features they include.

We usually manually print out, prep and organize badges and for big events it becomes a huge task that takes a lot of time and manpower. OnArrival makes the process very quick and easy by printing badges on demand and keeping track of them automatically. Badge details can be fully customized so that opens up a lot of possibilities for large events with many registration types and options that go along with them.

The ease of printing badges on demand also makes reprinting and wasting badges a lot easier and it leads to producing a huge amount of additional waste. Using the system means you are dependent on a networked environment and also the printing machines that can cause delays when they malfunction.

As a CVENT user, OnArrival is great for on site event check in and registration management. It saves a lot of time when you have a participant that did not pre-register show up... Instead of having them go through the whole registration process, you can quickly add them from your iPad and they are in the system and marked as a participant.

To get the full functionality of OnArrival you have to be willing to pay... My CVENT contract only includes the basic version (which is awesome... don't get me wrong) but the higher packages have session tracking, and sign in features which would be very useful with my larger event and some trainings. The high prices are hard to justify with the costs we already have from CVENT.

We use this in conjunction with Cvent as our check in process. Love the functionality of it for our printing.

Wish the larger OnArrival printers were more readily available. Pricing is too high for our standard events. Never sure if our stock from PC Namtag works with our printer until we have it on hand. Wish there was more knowledge about that.

Love Cvent - in general - and their on-site attendee management software just makes all their management tools come together.

Cvent is a rather expensive event management software. I wish they would lover their pricing a touch.

This software is great for checking in and attendee tracking. We use it for our smaller annual meetings where we need to know when specific people check-in/arrive. It is able to send me an alter via text or email that lets me know that the specific person has checked-in. Great feature and helps with our guest services at the event.

Must be knowledgeable about the software ahead of time. Not ideal for those who are not familiar with the product. Temporary staff takes a bit of time to get used to it. But it is overall easy to use. Just harder for some older folks to grasp.
